Smith's  Scrap  Book  of  the  Bible  contains  quotations  from 
the  Bible  arranged  in  alphabetical  order,  the  same  as  a  dictionary 
or  concordance  (p.  5  to  326),  and  a  condensed  Bible  history  of  the 
Hebrew,  Israelite,  or  Jew,  Bible  selection,  etc.  (p.  327-463),  captivity 
and  return  of  the  Jews,  first  and  second  coming  of  Clirist,  and  end 
of  the  world;  life  of  Christ,  from  the  books  of  Matthew,  Mark, 
Luke,  and  John;  and  the  important  events  in  the  life  of  Peter  and 
Paul;  and  the  wonderful  revelation  of  St.  John  the  Divine  (p.  464  to 
536);  also  a  chronological  table,  and  table  of  time,  money,  weights, 
and  measures, and  a  full  and  complete  alphabetical  index,  the"  Me '" 
of  Jesus,  and  believers  saved  (p.  537-551). 


Where  no  page  is  given,  the  same  as  Na.  3  following  verse  10, 
Jon.  3,  p.  39,  and  Gal.  4.  22-31  above,  Ge.  16.  l,  p.  335,  it  is  because  those 
verses  are  not  in  this  book,  for  the  size  and  price  of  tliis  book  will 
not  admit  of  it.  Yet  the  verses  and  chapters  of  the  Bible  are  given 
for  those  who  may  desire  to  go  more  fully  into  detailed  Bible  history. 


The  arrangement  of  the  material  in  this  book  is  such  as  will 

give  the  honest,  unprejudiced  readers  a  clearer  and  more  con-ect 

f-  knowledge  of  the  Bible  than  they  can  possibly  get  in  any  other  way. 


8  This  book  of  the  law  shall  not  depart  out  of  thy  mouth ;  but  thou 
shalt  meditate  therein  day  and  night,  that  thou  mayest  observe  to 
do  according  to  all  that  is  written  therein :  for  then  thou  shalt 
make  thy  way  prosperous,  and  then  thou  shalt  have  good  success.— 
Jos.  1. 


This  book,  with  the  exception  of  the  headings,  tables,  and 
index,  is  composed  entirely  of  whatever  is  claimed  as  inspired 
Scripture  (2  Ti.  3.  16,  p.  274).  So  read  and  understand  for  yourself, 
for  it  is  not  to  be  supposed  that  God  would  inspire  men  to  write 
what  his  people  could  not  understand. 


2  And  the  Lord  answered  me,  and  said.  Write  the  vision,  and 
y    make  it  plain  upon  tables,  that  he  may  run  that  readeth  it.     Hab.  2. 

a  15  Whoso  readeth,  let  him  understand.    Mat.  24.

SMITH'S 
SCRAP  BOOK  OF  THE  BIBLE 


551  Pages 


Section  A,  p.  5-12,  contains  Bible  quotations  of  which  the  principle 
words  begin  with  the  letter  A,  such  as  anger,  ask,  affliction,  affec- 
tion, adversity,  age,  angels,  etc. 


Pro.  14—17  He  that  is  soon  angi-y 
dealeth  foolishly:  and  a  man  of 
wicked  devices  is  hated. 

Pro.  15—1  A  soft  answer  turnetli 
away  wrath:  but  grievous  words 
stir  up  anger. 

Pro.  16—32  He  that  is  slow  to 
anger  is  better  than  the  mighty ; 
and  he  that  ruleth  his  spirit  than 
he  that  taketh  a  city.  Mar.  3.  5, 
p.  126. 

Ps.  37—8  Cease  from  anger,  and 
forsake  wrath:  fret  not  thyself  in 
any  wise  to  do  evil. 

Ps.  8.5—5  Wilt  thou  be  angi'y 
with  as  forever?  wilt  thou  draw 
out  thine  anger  to  all  generations? 

Ps.  9(>— 7  For  we  are  consumed 
by  thine  anger,  and  by  thy  wrath 
are  we  troubled. 

Ec.  7—9  Be  not  hasty  in  thy 
spirit  to  be  angry :  for  anger  rest- 
eth  in  the  bosom  of  fools. 

Is.  48—9  For  my  name's  sake 
will  I  defer  mine  anger,  and  for 
my  praise  will  I  refrain  for  thee, 
that  I  cut  thee  not  off. 

Is.  63—6  And  I  will  tread  down 
the  people  in  mine  anger,  and 
make  them  drunk  in  my  fury,  and 
I  will  bring  down  their  strength 
to  the  earth,    p.  474. 

Ep.  4—26  Be  ye  angry,  and  sin 
not :  let  not  the  sun  go  aov^^l  upon 
your  wrath : 

27  Neithergive  place  to  the  devil. 

31  Let  all  bitterness,  and  wrath, 
and  anger,  and  clamour,  and  evil 
speaking,  be  put  away  from  you, 
with  all  malice : 

32  And  be  ye  kind  one  to  an- 
other, tenderhearted,  forgiving 
line  another,  even  as  God  for 
Christ's  sake  hath  forgiven  you. 


Mat.  7—7  Ask,  and  it  shall  be 
given  you;  seek,  and  ye  shall 
tind;  knock,  and  it  shall  be 
opened  unto  you: 

8  For  every  one  that  asketh  re- 
ceiveth;  and  he  that  seeketh 
lindeth  ;  and  to  him  that  kuocketh 
it  shall  be  opened. 

Mat.  21—22  And  all  things, 
whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in  prayer, 
believing,  ye  shall  receive. 

Jno.  14 — 13  And  whatsoever  y© 
.shall  ask  in  my  name,  that  will  I 
do,  that  the  Father  may  be  glori- 
tied  in  the  Son. 

14  If  ye  shall  ask  any  thing  in 
my  name,  I  will  do  it. 

Jno.  15—7  If  ye  abide  in  me,  and 
my  words  abide  in  you,  ye  shall 
ask  what  ye  will,  and  it  shall  be 
done  unto  you. 

Ja.  4—3  Ye  ask,  and  receive 
not,  because  ye  ask  amiss,  that 
ye  may  consume  it  upon  your 
lusts. 

Job  5—G  Although  affliction 
cometh  not  forth  of  the  dust, 
neither  doth  trouble  spring  out  or 
the  ground; 

7  Yet  man  is  bom  unto  trouble, 
as  the  sparks  fly  upward,    p.  383. 

Job  6—14  To  him  that  is  afflicted 
pity  should  be  shewed  from  his 
friend. 

Ps- 119—67  Before  I  was  afflicted 
I  went  astray:  but  now  have  I 
kept  thy  word. 

71  It  is  good  for  me  that  I  have 
been  afflicted ;  that  I  might  learn 
thy  statutes. 

Ps.  129—2  Many  a  time  have 
they  afflicted  me  from  my  youth : 
yet  they  have  not  prevailed 
against  me. 


Pro.  15—15  All  the  days  of  the 
afflicted  are  evil :  but  he  that  is  of 
a  merry  heart  hath  a  continual 
feast. 

Is.  48—10  I  have  refined  thee, 
but  not  with  silver ;  I  have  chosen 
thee  in  the  furnace  of  affliction. 

Ho.  5—15  J  will  go  and  return  to 
my  place,  till  they  acknowledge 
their  offence,  and  seek  my  face : 
in  their  affliction  they  will  seek 
me  early. 

Na.  1—9  What  do  ye  imagine 
against  the  Lord?  he  will  make 
an  utter  end:  affliction  shall  not 
rise  up  the  second  time. 

Zee.  1—15  And  I  am  very  sore 
displeased  with  the  heathen  that 
are  at  ease :  for  I  was  but  a  little 
displeased,  and  they  helped  for- 
ward the  affliction. 

2  Co.  4—17  For  our  light  afflic- 
tion, which  is  but  for  a  ;noment, 
worketh  for  us  a  far  more  exceed- 
ing and  eternal  weight  of  glory. 

2  Ti.  4—5  Watch  thou  in  all 
things,  endure  afflictions,    p.  90. 

Ja.  5—13  Is  any  among  you 
afflicted?  let  him  pray.  Is  any 
merry?  let  him  sing  psalms. 

Ro.  12—10  Be  kindly  affectioned 
one  to  another  with  brotherly 
love-  in  honour  preferring  one 
another. 

Col.  3—2  Set  your  affection  on 
things  above,  not  on  things  on  the 
earth. 

Ps.  109—29  Let  mine  adversaries 
be  clothed  with  shame ,  and  let 
them  cover  themselves  with  their 
own  confusion,  as  with  a  mantle. 

Is.  1—24  I  will  ease  me  of  mine 
adversaries,  and  avenge  me  of 
mine  enemies. 

Mat.  .5—25  Agree  with  thine  ad- 
versary quickly,  while  thou  art  in 
the  way  with  him;  lest  at  any 
time  the  adversary  deliver  thee 
to  the  judge,  and  the  judge  de- 
liver thee  to  the  officer,  and  thou 
be  cast  into  prison. 

He.  13—3  Remember  them  that 
are  in  bonds,  and  them  which 
suffer  adversity.    Ps.  10.  6,  p.  124. 

Ps.  64- 3  Who  whet  their  tongue 
like  a  sword,  and  bend  their  bows 
to  shoot  their  arrows,  even  bitter 
words.  See  also  1  Sa.  20.  20-42  p. 
359;  Ps.  120.  4,  p.  281. 

Pro.  18—13  He  that  answereth  a 
matter  before  he  heareth  it,  it  is 
folly  and  shame  unto  him. 


AGE  OF  MAN.  ETC. 

Ge.  6—3  And  the  Lokd  said,  My 
Spirit  shall  not  always  strive  with 
man,  for  that  he  also  is  flesh :  yet 
his  days  shall  be  a  hundred  and 
twenty  years,    p.  185. 

Ps.  90—9  For  all  our  days  are 
passed  away  in  thy  wrath:  we 
spend  our  years  as  a  tale  that  is 
told. 

10  The  days  of  our  years  are 
threescore  years  and  ten;  and  if 
by  reason  of  strength  they  be  four- 
score years,  yet  is  their  strength 
labour  and  sorrow;  for  it  is  soon 
cut  off,  and  we  fly  away. 

Is.  65—20  There  shall  be  no  more 
an  mfant  of  days,  nor  an  old  man 
that  liath  not  hlled  his  days:  for 
the  child  shall  die  a  hmidred  years 
old ;  but  the  sinner  being  a  him- 
dred  years  old  shall  be  accursed. 

Ps.  71 — 9  Cast  me  not  off  in  the 
time  of  old  age;  forsake  me  not 
when  my  strength  faileth. 

18  Now  also  when  I  am  old  and 
grayheaded,  O  God,  forsake  me 
not. 

John- 15  For  then  .shalt  thou 
lift  up  thy  face  without  spot ;  yea , 
thou  shalt  be  steadfast,  and  shalt 
not  fear: 

16  Because  thou  shalt  forget  thy 
misery,  and  remember  it  as  waters 
that  pass  away : 

17  And  thine  age  shall  be  clearer 
than  the  noonday;  thou  shalt 
shine  forth,  thou  shalt  be  as  the 
morning. 

Ps.  92—13  Those  that  be  planted 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord  shall 
flourish  in  the  courts  of  our  God. 

14  They  shall  still  bring  forth 
fruit  in  old  age ;  they  shall  be  fat 
and  flourishing. 

Is.  46 — l  And  even  to  your  old 
age  I  am  he;  and  even  to  hoar 
hairs  will  I  can-y  you:  I  have 
made,  and  I  will  bear;  even  I  will 
Carry,  and  will  deliver  you. 

Jno9— 21  But  by  what  means 
he  now  seetli,  we  know  not;  or 
who  hath  opened  his  eyes,  we 
know  not :  he  is  of  age ;  ask  him : 
he  shall  speak  for  himself,    p.  23. 

2  Chr.  36—17  God  brought  upon 
them  the  kin^  of  the  Chaldees, 
who  slew  their  young  men  with 
the  sword  in  the  house  of  their 
sanctuary,  and  had  no  compassion 
upon  yoiuig  man  or  maiden,  old 
man,  or  him  that  stooped  for  age. 


AOE  OF  THE  PATRIARCHS. 

Ge.  5—1  This  is  the  book  of  tlie 
generations  of  Adam.  In  the  day 
that  God  created  man,  in  the  like- 
ness of  God  made  lie  him ; 

2  Male  and  female  created  he 
them;  and  blessed  them,  and 
called  their  name  Adam  in  the 
day  when  they  were  created. 

3  And  Adam  lived  a  hundred

4  And  the  days  of  Adam  after 
he  had  begotten  Seth  were  eight 
hundred  years:  and  he  begat  sons

15  And  Mahalaleel  lived  sixty 
and  five  years,  and  begat  Jared: 

16  And  Mahalaleel  lived  after

thirty  years,  and  begat  sons  and 
daughters : 

17  And  all  the  days  of  Maha- 
laleel were  eight  hundred  ninety

18  And  Jared  lived  a  hundred

21  And  Enoch  lived  sixty-five

22  And  Enoch  walked  with  God

hundred  years,  and  begat  sons  and 
daughters: 

23  And  all  the  days  of  Enoch 
were  three  hundred  sixty  and  five 
years : 

24  And  Enoch  walked  with

took  him. 

25  And  Methuselah  lived  a  hun- 
dred eighty  and  seven  years,  and

26  And  Methuselah  lived  after

concerning  our  work  and  toil  of 
our  hands,  because  of  the  ground 
which  the  Lord  hath  cursed.

Ham,  and  Japheth.  Ge.9.28,p.l88. 

ANGELS,  Saints,  Cherub,  Cher- 
ubim, Seraph,  Seraphim,  Sons  of 
God  (see  also  Christians,  p.  43). 
All  the  angels  mentioned  in  the 
Bible  were  men,  and  none  of  them 
had  wings;  but  the  Cherubim  and 
Seraphim,  they  had  wings.  See 
Ge.  3.  24,  p.  185 ;  Eze.  1. 1-25,  p.  9 ; 
Eze.  10.  1-20,  p.  10;  Is.  6.  1-4,  p. 
107.  There  are  no  accounts  given 
or  any  mention  made  in  the  Bible 
of  female  angels.  There  are  only 
two  accoujits  given  in  the  Bible  of 
women  with  wings,  and  neither 
one  of  them  were  angels.  See  Zee. 
5.  5-11,  p.  454,  and  Re.  12.  1-17,  p. 
61, 62.  The  first  angels,  according 
to  the  Scripture  (except  the  Cheru- 
bim, Ge.  3.  24,  p.  185),  were  the 
three  who  ate  and  drank  what 
Abraham  set  before  them.    See 


A  8 

Ge.  18. 1-8,  p.  491.    And  it  is  sup- 
posed that  Jesus  Christ  was  one

those  angels  did  eat  and  drink

seven  hundred  years-  after  bamt

Ezekiel's  vision  of  four  Cheru- 
bim,— the  four  wheels  ("a  wheel  in 
the  middle  of  a  wheel")  and  of  the 
glory  of  God. 

Eze.  1—1  Now  it  came  to  pass  in 
the  thirtieth  year,  in  the  fourth 
month,  in  the  fifth  day  of  the 
month,  as  I  was  among'  the  cap- 
tives by  the  river  of  Chebar,  that 
the  heavens  were  opened,  and  I 
saw  visions  of  God. 

2  In  the  fifth  day  of  the  month, 
which  was  the  fifth  year  of  king 
Jehoiachin's  captivity, 

3  The  word  of  the  Lord  came 
expressly  unto  Ezekiel  the  priest, 
the  son  of  Buzi,  in  the  land  of  the 
Chaldeans  by  the  river  Chebar; 
and  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
there  upon  him. 

4  H  And  I  looked,  and,  behold,  a 
whirlwind  came  out  of  the  north, 
a  great  cloud,  and  a  fire  infolding 
itself,  and  a  brightness  was  about 
it,  and  out  of  the  midst  thereof  as 
the  colour  of  amber,  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  fire. 

5  Also  out  of  the  midst  thereof 
came  the  likeness  of  four  living 
creatiu'es.  And  this  was  their  ap- 
pearance ;  they  had  the  likeness  of 
a  man. 

6  And  every  one  had  four  faces, 
and  every  one  had  four  wings. 

7  And  their  feet  were  straight 
feet ;  and  the  sole  of  their  feet  was 
like  the  sole  of  a  calf's  foot:  and 
they  sparkled  like  the  colour  of 
burnished  brass. 

8  And  they  had  the  hands  of  a 
man  uiider  their  wings  on  their 
four  sides ;  and  they  four  had  their 
faces  and  their  wings. 

9  Their  wings  were  joined  one  to 
another;  they  turned  not  when 
they  went;  they  went  every  ojie 
straight  forward. 

10  As  for  the  likeness  of  their 
faces,  they  four  had  the  face  of 
a  man,  and  the  face  of  a  lion,  on 
the  right  side :  and  they  four  had 
the  face  of  an  ox  on  the  left  side ; 
they  foui'  also  had  the  face  of  an 
eagle. 

11  Thus  were  their  faces:  and 
their-  wings  were  stretched  up- 
ward ;  two  wings  of  every  one 
were  joined  one  to  another,  and 
two  covered  their  bodies. 

12  And  they  went  every  one 
straight  forward:  whither  the 
spirit  was  to  go,  they  went:  and 
they  turned  not  when  they  went. 


13  As  for  the  likeness  of  the  liv- 
ing creatui-es,  their  appearance 
was  like  burning  coals  of  tire,  and 
like  the  appearance  of  lamps:  it 
went  up  and  down  among  the  liv- 
ing creatures;  and  the  tire  was 
bright,  and  out  of  the  fire  went 
forth  lightning. 

14  And  the  living  creatui-es  ran 
and  returned  as  the  appearance  of 
a  flash  of  lightning. 

15  If  Now  as  I  beheld  the  living 
creatm-es,  behold  one  wheel  upon 
the  earth  by  the  living  creatures, 
with  his  four  faces. 

16  The  appearance  of  the  wheels 
and  their  work  was  like  unto  the 
colour  of  a  beryl:  and  they  four 
had  one  likeness:  and  their  ap- 
pearance and  their  work  was  as  it 
were  a  wheel  in  the  middle  of  a 
wheel. 

17  When  they  went,  they  went 
upon  their  four  sides:  and  they 
turned  not  when  they  went. 

18  As  for  their  rings,  they  were 
so  high  that  they  were  dreadful ; 
and  their  i-ings  were  full  of  eyes 
romid  about  tliem  four. 

19  And  when  the  living  creatures 
went,  the  wheels  went  by  them: 
and  when  the  living  creatures 
were  lifted  up  from  the  earth,  the 
wheels  were  lifted  up. 

20  Whithersoever  the  spirit  was 
to  go,  they  went,  thither  was  their 
spirit  tc  go ;  and  the  wheels  were 
lifted  up  over  against  them:  for 
the  spirit  of  the  living  ci-eature 
was  in  the  wheels. 

21  When  those  went,  these  went ; 
and  when  those  stood,  these  stood ; 
and  when  those  were  lifted  up 
from  the  earth,  the  wheels  were 
lifted  up:  for  the  spirit  of  the  liv- 
ing creature  was  in  the  wheels. 

22  And  the  likeness  of  the  firma- 
ment upon  the  heads  of  the  living 
creature  was  as  the  colour  of  the 
terrible  crystal,  stretched  fortli 
over  their  heads  above. 

23  And  mider  the  firmaueut  were 
their  wings  straight,  the  one  to- 
ward the  other:  every  one  had 
two,  which  covered  on  this  side, 
and  every  one  had  two,  which  cov- 
ered on  that  side,  their  bodies. 

24  And  when  they  went,  I  heard 
the  noise  of  their  wings,  like  the 
noise  of  great  waters,  as  the  voice 
of  the  Almighty,  the  voice  of 
speech,  as  the  noise  of  a  host: 
when  they  stood,  they  let  dowai 
their  wings. 


10 


25  And  there  was  a  voice  from 
the  finiiameut  that  was  over  then- 
heads,  when  they  stood,  and  had 
let  down  their  wings. 

26  And  above  the  hmiament  was 
the  likeness  of  a  tlu-one,  as  the 
appearance  of  a  sapphire  stone; 
and  upon  the  likeness  of  the 
throne  was  the  likeness  as  the  ap- 
pearance of  a  man  above  upon  it. 

27  And  I  saw  as  the  colour-  of 
amber,  as  the  appearance  of  fire 
round  about  within  it,  from  the 
appearance  of  his  loins  even  up- 
ward, and  from  the  appearance  of 
his  loins  even  downward,  I  saw  as 
it  were  the  appearance  of  tire,  and 
it  had  brightness  round  about. 

28  As  the  appearance  of  the  bow 
that  is  in  the  cloud  in  the  day  of 
rain,  so  was  the  appearance  of 
the  brightness  round  abor  t.  This 
was  the  appearance  of  the  likeness 
of  the  glory  of  the  Lord.  And 
when  I  saw  it,  I  fell  upon  my  face, 
and  1  heard  a  voice  of  one  that 
spake. 

Ezekiel's  vision  of  the  coals  of 
fire  to  be  scattered  over  the  city 
of  Jerusalem  and  his  vision  of  the 
cherubim. 

Eze.  10—1  Then  I  looked,  and, 
behold,  in  the  firmament  that  was 
above  the  head  of  the  cherubim 
there  appeared  over  them  as  it 
were  a  sapphire  stone,  as  the  ap- 
pearance of  the  likeness  of  a 
throne. 

2  And  he  spake  unto  the  man 
clothed  with  linen,  and  said.  Go 
in  between  the  wheels,  even  under 
the  cherub,  and  fill  thine  hand 
with  coals  of  fire  from  between 
the  cherubim,  and  scatter  them 
over  the  city.  And  he  went  in  in 
my  sight. 

3  Now  the  cherubim  stood  on 
the  right  side  of  the  house,  when 
the  man  went  in ;  and  the  cloud 
filled  the  umer  court. 

4  Then  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
went  up  from  the  cherub,  and 
stood  over  the  threshold  of  the 
house  t  and  the  house  was  filled 
with  the  cloud,  and  the  court  was 
full  of  the  brightness  of  the 
Lord's  glory. 

5  And  the  sound  of  the  cheru- 
bim's wings  was  heard  even  to  the 
outer  court,  as  the  voice  of  the 
Almighty  God  when  he  speaketh. 

7  And  one  cherub  stretched  forth 
his  hand  from  between  the  cheru- 


bim unto  the  fire  and  took  there- 
of, and  put  it  into  the  hands  of 
him  that  was  clothed  with  linen ; 
who  took  it,  and  went  out. 

8  H  And  there  appeared  in  the 
cherubim  the  form  of  a  man's 
hand  under  their  wings. 

9  And  when  I  lopked,  behold 
the  four  wheels  by  the  cherubim, 
one  wheel  by  one  cherub,  and  an- 
other wheel  by  another  cherub: 
and  the  appearance  of  the  wheels 
was  as  the  colour  of  a  beryl  stone. 

10  And  as  for  their  appearances, 
they  four  had  one  likeness,  as  if  a 
wheel  had  been  in  the  midst  of  a 
wheel. 

11  When  they  went,  thev  went 
upon  their  four  sides ;  they  turned 
not  as  they  went,  but  to  the 
place  whither  the  head  looked 
they  followed  it. 

12  And  their  whole  body,  and 
their  backs,  and  their  hands,  and 
their  wings,  and  the  wheels,  were 
full  of  eyes  roimd  about,  even  the 
wheels  that  they  four  had. 

13  As  for  the  wheels,  it  was  cried 
unto  them  in  my  hearing,  O  wheel. 

14  And  every  one  had  four  faces : 
the  first  face  was  the  face  of  a 
cherub,  and  the  second  face  was 
the  face  of  a  man,  and  the  third 
the  face  of  a  lion,  and  the  fom-th 
the  face  of  an  eagle. 

16  And  when  the  cherubim  went, 
the  wheels  went  by  them:  and 
when  the  cherubim  lifted  up  their 
wings  to  momit  up  from  the  earth, 
the  same  wheels  also  turned  not 
from  beside  them. 

17  When  they  stood,  these  stood : 
and  when  they  were  lifted  up, 
these  lifted  up  themselves  also: 
for  the  spirit  of  the  living  creature 
was  in  them. 

18  Then  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
departed  from  off  the  threshold 
of  the  house,  and  stood  over  the 
chembim. 

19  And  the  cherubim  lifted  up 
their  wings,  and  mounted  up  from 
the  earth  in  my  sight :  when  they 
went  out,  the  wheels  also  were  be- 
side them,  and  every  one  stood  at 
the  door  of  the  east  gate  of  the 
Lord's  house;  and  the  glory  of 
the  God  of  Israel  was  over  them 
above. 

20  This  is  the  living  creatui-e 
that  I  saw  under  the  God  of  Israel 
by  the  river  of  Chebar  and  I 
knew  that  they  were  the  cheru- 
bim.

Mat.  6—:  Take  heed  that  ye  do 
not  your  ahns  before  meu,  to  be 
seen  of  them :  otherwise  ye  have 
no  reward  of  your  Father  which  is 
in  heaven. 

2  Therefore  when  thou  doest 
t^ine  alms,  do  not  s<nind  a  trum- 
pet before  thee,  as  the  liypoerites 
do  in  the  synagogues  and  in  the 
streets,  that  they  may  have  glory 
of  men.  Verily  I  say  imto  you. 
They  have  then-  reward. 

3  But  when  thou  doest  alms, 
let  not  thy  left  hand  know  what 
thy  right  doeth : 

4  That  thine  ahns  may  be  in  se- 
cret :  and  thy  Father  which  seeth 
in  secret  shall  reward  thee  openly. 

Je.  8—12  Were  they  ashamed 
when  they  had  committed  abomi- 
nation? nay,  they  were  not  at  all 
ashamed,  neither  could  they 
blush;  therefore  shall  they  fall 
among  them  that  fall :  in  the  time 
of  their  visitation  they  shall  be 
cast  down,  saith  the  Lord. 

Mar.  8—38  Whosoever  therefore 
shall  be  ashamed  of  me  and  of  my 
words,  in  this  adulterous  and  sin- 
ful generation,  of  him  also  shall 
the  Son  of  man  be  ashamed,  when 
he  cometh  in  the  glory  of  his 
Father  with  the  holy  angels.

heard,  and  shall  shew  the  lighting 
down  of  his  arm.

was  none  to  help;  therefore  mine 
own  arm  brought  salvation  unto 
me.    p.  474. 

Lu.  1—51  He  hath  shewed 
strength  with  his  arm  •  he  hath 
scattered  the  proud  in  the  imagi- 
nation of  their  hearts. 

Is.  24—2  And  it  shall  be,  as  with 
the  people,  so  with  the  priest ;  as 
with  the  servant,  so  with  his 
master;  as  with  the  maid,  so  with 
her  mistress;  as  with  the  buyer, 
so  with  the  seller;  as  with  the 
lender,  so  with  the  borrower;  as 
with  the  taker  of  usury,  so  with 
the  giver  of  usury  to  him.

well  known ;  as  dymg,  and.  Toe- 
hold, we  live;  as  chastened,  and 
not  killed;  as  son-owful,  yet 
alway  rejoicing ;  as  poor,  yet  mak- 
ing many  rich ;  as  having  npthing. 


and  yet  possessing  all  things. 

Ex.  20—14  Thou  shalt  not  com- 
mit adultery,    p.  46. 

Mat.  .5—27  Ye  have  heard  that  it 
was  said  by  them  of  old  time. 
Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery : 

28  But  I  say  imto  you,  That  who- 
soever louketh  on  a  woman  to  lust 
after  her  hath  committed  adul- 
tery with  her  already  in  his  heart. 

Le.  20—10  And  the  man  that 
committeth  adultery  with  an- 
other man's  wife,  even  he  that 
committeth  adultery  with  his 
neighbour's  wife,  the  adulterer 
and  the  adulteress  shall  surely  be 
put  to  death. 

Pro.  6—32  Wlioso  committeth 
adultery  with  a  woman  lacketh 
understandmg:  he  that  doeth  it 
destroyeth  his  own  soul. 

33  A  wound  and  dishonour  .shall 
he  get ;  and  his  reproach  shall  not 
be  wiped  away. 

Ps.  88—8  Thou  hast  put  away 
mine  acquaintance  far  from  nie ; 
tliou  hast  made  me  an  abomma- 
tion  unto  them. 

Je.  15—17  I  sat  not  in  the  as- 
sembly of  the  mockers,  nor  re- 
joiced ;  I  sat  alone  because  of  thy 
hand ;  for  thou  hast  filled  me  with 
indignation. 

Job  6—25  How  forcible  are  right 
words !  but  what  doth  your  argu- 
ing reprove? 

Is.  10—15  Shall  the  axe  boast 
itself  against  him  that  heweth 
therewith?  or  shall  the  saw 
magnify  itself  against  him  that 
shaketh  it? 

Is.  41—7  So  the  carpenter  en- 
couraged the  goldsmith,  and  he 
that  smootheth  with  the  hammer 
him  that  smote  the  anvil. 

He.  6—19  Which  hope  we  have 
as  an  anchor  of  the  soul,  both 
sure  and  steadfast. 

Eze.  3—9  As  an  adamant  harder 
than  flint  have  I  made  thy  fore- 
head: fear  them  not,  neither  be 
dismayed  at  their  looks. 

Re.  1—8  I  am  Alpha  and  Omega, 
the  beginning  and  the  ending, 
saith  tlie  Lord,  which  is,  and 
which  was,  and  which  is  to  come, 
the  Almighty,    p.  490. 

11  I  am  Alpha  and  Omega,  the 
first  and  the  last:  and.  What 
thou  seest,  write  in  a  book,  and 
send  it  unto  the  seven  churches 
which  are  in  Asia;  unto  Ephe- 
sus,  Smyrna,  Pergamos,  Thyatira, 
Sardis,  Philadelphia,  and  Lao- 
dicea.    Re.  21.  6,  22.  13,  pp.  37,  536.

Pro.  6—6  Go  to  the  ant,  thou  slug- 
gard; consider  her  ways  and  be 
wise: 

7  Which  having  no  guide,  over- 
seer, or  ruler, 

8  Providetli  her  meat  in  the  sum- 
mer, and  gathereth  her  food  in  the 
harvest. 

Ps.  70—3  Let  them  be  turned 
back  for  a  reward  of  their  shame 
that  say,  Aha,  aha. 

Ex.  23—5  If  thou  see  the  ass  of 
him  that  hateth  thee  lying  under 
his  burden,  and  wouldest  forbear 
to  help  him,  thou  shalt  surely  help 
with  him. 

Nu.  22— '27  And  when  the  ass  saw 
the  angel  of  the  Lord,  she  fell 
down  under  Balaam:  and  Ba- 
laam's anger  was  kindled,  and  he 
smote  the  ass  with  a  staff. 

28  And  the  Lord  opened  the 
mouth  of  the  ass,  and  she  said  unto 
Balaam,  What  have  I  done  unto 
thee,  that  thou  ha.st  smitten  me 
these  three  times? 

29  And  Balaam  said  unto  the 
ass.  Because  thou  hast  mocked 
me:  I  would  there  were  a  sword 
in  mine  hand,  for  now  would  I 
kill  thee. 

30  And  the  ass  said  uiito  Ba- 
laam, Am  not  I  thine  ass,  upon 
which  thou  hast  ridden  ever  since 
I  was  thine  unto  this  day?  was  I 
ever  wont  to  do  so  unto  thee? 
And  he  said.  Nay. 

Ju.  5—10  Speak,  ye  that  ride  on 
white  asses,  ye  that  sit  in  judg- 
ment, and  walk  by  the  way.   p.  409. 

Ju.  15—16  Samson  said.  With 
the  jawbone  of  an  ass.  heaps  upon 
heaps,  with  the  jaw  of  an  ass  have 
I  slain  a  thousand  men.    p.  412. 

Job  6—5  Doth  the  wild  ass  bray 
when  he  hath  grass?  or  lowetli 
the  ox  over  his  fodder? 

Job  24—3  They  drive  away  the 
ass  of  the  fatherless,  they  take 
the  widow's  ox  for  a  pledge. 

Je.  22—18  Thus  saitli  the  Lord 
concerning  Jehoiakim  king  of  Ju- 
dah;  Theyshallnot  lament  for  him, 
saying.  Ah  my  brother !  or.  Ah  sis- 
ter !    Ah  lord !  or.  Ah  his  glory ! 

19  He  shall  be  buried  with  the 
burial  of  an  ass,  drawn  and  cast 
forth  beyond  the  gates  of  Jerusa- 
lem. 

Lu.  13—15  The  Lord  then  an- 
swered him,  and  said.  Thou  hypo- 
crite, doth  not  each  one  of  you  on 
the  sabbath  loose  his  ox  or  his  ass 
from  the  stall,  and  lead  him  away 
to  watering?    Lu.  14.  5,  p.  67. 


THE  FIRST  BROTHERS. 

BROTHERS,  BRETHREN.  See 
also  1  Ki.  13.  30,  p.  113;  Pro.  6.  18, 
p.  279. 

Ge.  4—1  And  Adam  knew  Eve 
his  wife ;  and  she  conceived,  and 
bare  Cain,  and  said,  1  have  gotten 
a  man  from  the  Lord. 

2  And  she  again  bare  his  brother 
Abel.  And  Abel  was  a  keeper  of 
sheep,  but  Cain  was  a  tiller  of  the 
ground. 

3  And  in  process  of  time  it  came 
to  iiass,  that  Cain  brought  of  tlie 
fruit  of  the  ground  an  offering 
unto  the  Lord. 

4  And  Abel,  he  also  brought  of 
the  firstlings  of  his  flock  and  of 
the  fat  thereof.  And  the  Lord 
had  respect  unto  Abel  and  to  his 
offering : 

5  But  unto  Cain  and  to  his  offer- 
ing he  had  not  respect.  And  Cain 
was  very  vrroth,  and  his  counte- 
nance fell. 

6  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Cain, 
Why  art  thou  wroth?  and  why  is 
thy  countenance  fallen? 

7  If  thou  doest  well,  shalt  thou 
not  be  accepted?  and  if  thou  doest 
not  well,  sin  lieth  at  the  door :  and 
unto  thee  shall  be  his  desire,  and 
thou  shalt  rale  over  him. 

8  And  Cain  talked  with  Abel  his 
brother :  and  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  in  the  field,  that  Cain 
rose  up  against  Abel  his  brother, 
and  slew  him. 

9  IT  And  the  Lord  said  xmto 
Cain,  Where  is  Abel  thy  brother? 
And  he  said,  I  know  not:  Am  I 
my  brother's  keeper? 

10  And  he  said.  What  hast  thou 
done?  the  voice  of  thy  brother's 
blood  crieth  unto  me  from  the 
ground. 

11  And  now  art  thou  cursed  from 
the  earth,  which  hath  opened  her 
mouth  to  receive  thy  brother's 
blood  from  thy  hand. 

12  When  thou  tillest  the  ground, 
it  shall  not  henceforth  yield  unto 
thee  her  strength ;  a  fugitive  and 
a  vagabond  shalt  thou  be  in  the 
earth. 

13  And  Cain  said  unto  the  Lord, 
My  punishment  is  greater  than  I 
can  bear. 

14  Behold,  thou  hast  driven  me 
out  this  day  from  the  face  >  )f  the 
earth  •  and  from  thy  face  shall  I 
be  hid ;  and  I  shall  be  a  fugitive 
and  a  vagabond  in  the  earth ;  and 


13 


it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  every 
one  that  liudeth  me  shall  slay 
me. 

15  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
Therefore  whosoever  slayeth 
Cain,  vengeance  shall  be  taken 
on  him  sevenfold.  And  the  Lord 
set  a  mark  upon  Cain,  lest  any 
finding  him  should  kill  him. 

IG  And  Cain  went  out  from  the 
presence  of  the  Lord,  and  dwelt 
m  the  laud  of  Nod,  on  the  east  of 
Eden. 

17  And  Cain  knew  his  wife;  and 
she  conceived,  and  bare  Enoch: 
and  he  builded  a  city,  and  called 
the  name  of  the  city,  after  the 
name  of  his  son,  Enoch. 

25  And  Adam  knew  his  wife 
again;  and  she  bare  a  son,  and 
called  his  name  Seth:  For  God, 
said  she,  hath  appointed  me  an- 
other seed  instead  of  Abel,  whom 
Cain  slew. 

26  And  to  Seth,  to  him  also  there 
was  born  a  son ;  aud  he  called  his 
name  Enos:  then  began  men  to 
call  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

1  Juo.  3—12  Not  as  Cain,  who 
was  of  that  wicked  one,  and  slew 
his  brother.  And  wherefore  slew 
he  him?  Because  his  own  works 
were  evil,  and  his  brother's  right- 
eous. 

Le.  19—17  Thoix  shalt  not  liate 
thy  brother  in  thine  heart:  thou 
shalt  in  any  wise  rebuke  thy 
neighbour,  and  not  suffer  siu  upon 
him. 

18  Thou  shalt  not  avenge,  nor 
bear  any  grudge  against  the  chil- 
dren of  thy  people,  but  thou  shalt 
love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself:  I 
am  the  Lord.    Le.  25,  p.  244. 

De.  15—7  If  there  be  among  you 
a  poor  man  of  one  of  thy  brethren 
within  any  of  thy  gates  in  thy 
land  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
giveth  thee,  thou  shalt  not  harden 
thine  heart,  nor  shut  thine  hand 
from  thy  poor  brother: 

8  But  thou  shalt  open  thine 
hand  wide  unto  him,  and  shalt 
surely  lend  him  sufficient  for  his 
need,  in  that  which  he  wauteth. 

9  Beware  tliat  there  be  not  a 
thought  in  thy  wicked  heart,  say- 
ing. The  seventh  year,  the  year  of 
release,  is  at  hand ;  and  thine  eye 
be  evil  against  thy  poor  brother, 
and  thou  givest  him  nought ;  and 
he  cry  unto  the  Lord  against 
thee,  and  it  be  sin  unto  thee. 


ely  gi 

and  thine  heart  shall  not  be 
grieved  when  thou  givest  unto 
him:  because  that  for  this  tiling 
the  Lord  thy  God  shall  bless  thee 
in  all  thy  works,  and  in  all  that 
thou  puttest  thine  hand  vmto.  p. 
235  and  68. 

Job.  22— fi  For  thou  hast  taken  a 
pledge  from  thy  brother  for 
nought,  and  stripped  the  naked 
of  their  clotliing.    p.  385. 

Ps.  5()— 20  Thou  sittest  and  speak- 
est  against  thy  brother;  thou 
slanderest  thine  own  mother's  son. 

Pro.  17—17  A  friend  lovetli  at  all 
times,  and  a  brother  is  born  for 
adversity. 

Pro.  18—19  A  brother  offended  is 
harder  to  be  won  than  a  strong 
city:  and  their  contentions  are 
like  the  bars  of  a  castle. 

Pro.  27—10  Thine  owti  friend, 
and  thy  father's  friend,  forsake 
not ;  neither  go  into  thy  brother's 
hou.se  in  the  day  of  thy  calamity: 
for  better  is  a  neighbour  that  is 
near  than  a  brother  far  off. 

Is.  9—19  Through  the  wrath  of 
the  Lord  of  hosts  is  the  land 
darkened,  and  the  people  shall  be 
as  the  fuel  of  the  fire:  no  man 
shall  spare  his  brother. 

Je.  9—4  Take  heed  every  one  of 
his  neighbour,  and  trust  ye  not  in 
any  brother:  for  every  brother 
will  utterly  supplant,  and  every 
neighbour  will  walk  with  slan- 
ders. 

5  And  they  will  deceive  every 
one  his  neighbour,  and  will  not 
.speak  the  truth :  they  have  taught 
their  tongue  to  speak  lies,  and 
weary  themselves  to  commit  in- 
iquity. 

Zee.  7—9  Thus  speaketh  the 
Lord,  Execute  true  judgment, 
and  shew  mercy  and  compassions 
every  man  to  his  brother : 

10  And  oppress  not  the  widow, 
nor  the  fatlierless,  the  stranger, 
nor  the  poor;  and  let  none  of  you 
imagine  evil  against  his  brother 
in  voiu'  heart. 

Mai.  2—10  Have  we  not  all  one 
father?  hath  not  one  God  created 
us?  why  do  we  deal  treacherously 
every  nian  against  his  brother? 

Mat.  10—21  And  the  brother 
shall  deliver  up  the  brother  to 
death,  and  the  father  the  child: 
and  the  children  shall  rise  up 
against  their  parents,  and  cause 
them  to  be  put  to  death,    p.  459.     -

Mat.  5 — 22  Whosoever  is  angry 
with  his  brother  without  a  cause 
shall  be  iu  danger  of  the  judg- 
ment: and  whosoever  shall  say 
to  his  brother,  Raca,  shall  be  m 
danger  of  the  council:  but  who- 
soever shall  say,  Thou  fool,  shall 
he  in  danger  of  hell  lire. 

23  Therefore  if  thou  bring  thy 
gift  to  the  altar,  and  there  re- 
memberest  that  thy  brother  hath 
aught  against  thee  : 

24  Leave  there  thy  gift  before 
the  altar,  and  go  thy  way;  first 
be  reconciled  to  thy  brother,  and 
then  come  and  offer  thy  gift. 

Mat.  18—15  If  thy  brother  shall 
trespass  against  thee,  go  and  tell 
him  his  fault  between  thee  and 
him  alone:  if  he  shall  hear  thee, 
thou  hast  gained  thy  brother. 

IG  But  if  he  will  not  hear  thee, 
then  take  with  thee  one,  or  two 
more,  that  in  the  mouth  of  two 
or  three  witnesses  every  word  may 
be  established. 

17  And  if  he  shall  neglect  to 
hear  them,  tell  it  unto  the  church : 
but  if  he  neglect  to  hear  the 
church,  let  him  be  unto  thee  as  a 
heathen  man  and  a  publican. 

21  Then  came  Peter  to  him,  and 
said,  Lord,  how  oft  shall  my 
brother  sin  against  me,  and  I  for- 
give him?  till  seven  times? 

22  Jesus  saith  mito  him,  I  say 
not  mito  thee.  Until  seven  times: 
but.  Until  seventy  times  seven. 

Lu.  17—3  If  thy  brother  trespass 
against  thee,  i-ebuke  him ;  and  if 
he  repent,  forgive  him. 

4  If  he  trespass  agauist  thee 
seven  times  iu  a  day.  and  seven 
times  in  a  day  turn  to  thee,  say- 
ing, I  repent;  thou  shalt  forgive 
him. 

Ro.  14—10  But  why  dost  thou 
judge  thy  brother?  or  why  dost 
thou  set  at  nought  thv  brother? 
for  we  shall  all  stand  before  the 
judgment  seat  of  Clirist. 

2  Th.  3—6  We  command  you, 
bretlu-en,  in  the  name  of  Jesus, 
that  ye  withdraw  yom-selves  from 
every  brother  that  walketh  dis- 
orderly, and  not  after  the  tradi- 
tion which  he  received  of  us. 

1  Th.  4—6  That  no  man  go  be- 
yond and  defraud  his  brother  in 
any  matter:  because  that  the 
Lord  is  the  avenger  of  all  such. 

He.  3—12  Take  heed,  bretlu'en, 
lest  there  be  in  any  of  you  an  evil 
heart  of  unbelief,  iu  departmg 
from  the  living  God. 


He.  13—1  Let  brotherly  love  con- 
tinue. Be  not  forgetful  to  enter- 
tain strangers:  for  thereby  some 
have  entertained  angels  un- 
awares. 

•la.  1—9  Let  the  brother  of  low 
degree  rejoice  in  that  he  is  ex- 
alted : 

10  But  the  rich,  in  that  he  is 
made  low :  because  as  the  flower 
of  the  grass  he  shall  pass  away, 
p.  199. 

Ja.  2—15  If  a  brother  or  sister  be 
naked,  and  destitute  of  food, 

16  And  one  of  you  say  unto  them. 
Depart  in  peace,  be  ye  warmed 
and  filled;  notwithstanduag  ve 
give  them  not  those  things  which 
are  needful  to  the  body;  what 
doth  it  profit? 

17  Even  so  faith,  if  it  hath  not 
works,  is  dead,  bemg  alone.  See 
Ja.  4,  p.  140. 

1  Jno.  2—9  He  that  saith  he  is  in 
the  light,  and  hateth  his  brother, 
is  in  darkness  even  until  now. 

10  He  that  loveth  his  brother 
abideth  in  the  light,  and  there  is 
none  occasion  of  stumbling  in  him. 

1  Jno.  3—13  Marvel  not,  my  breth- 
ren, if  the  world  hate  you. 

14  We  know  that  we  have  passed 
from  death  unto  life,  because  we 
love  the  brethren.  He  that  loveth 
not  his  brother  abideth  in  death. 

15  Whosoever  hateth  his  brother 
is  a  murderer :  and  ye  know  that 
nommderer  hath  eternal  life 
abiding  in  him. 

16  Hereby  perceive  we  the  love 
of  God,  because  he  laid  do^vn  his 
life  for  us:  and  we  ought  to  lav 
down  our  lives  for  the  bretliren. " 

17.  But  whoso  hath  this  world's 
good,  and  seeth  his  brother  have 
need,  and  shutteth  up  his  bowels 
of  compassion  from  him,  how 
dwelleth  the  love  of  God  in  him? 

1  Jno.  4—20  If  a  man  sav,  I  love 
God,  and  hateth  his  brother,  he  is 
a  liar:  for  he  that  loveth  not  his 
brother  whom  he  hath  seen,  how 
can  he  love  God  whom  he  hath 
not  seen? 

21  And  this  commandment  have 
we  from  him.  That  he  who  loveth 
God  love  his  brother  also. 

Ho.  13—15  Though  he  be  fruitful 
among  his  brethren,  an  east  wuid 
shall  come,  the  wind  of  the  Lord 
shall  come  up  from  the  wilder- 
ness, and  his  spring  shall  become 
dry,  and  his  fountam  shall  be 
dried  up:  he  shall  spoil  the  treas- 
ure of  all  pleasant  vessels.

Ps.  133—1  Behold,  how  good  and 
how  pleasant  it  is  for  brethren  to 
dwell  to^rether  in  unity! 

2  It  is  like  the  precious  ointment 
upon  the  head,  that  ran  down  upon 
the  beard,  even  Aaron's  beard: 
that  went  down  to  the  skirts  of 
his  gai'ments. 

Mat.  5—17  If  ye  salute  your 
brethren  only,  wliat  do  ye  more 
than  others?  do  not  even  the  pub- 
liCiiiis  so*^ 

1  Co.  .5—11  I  have  written  unto 
vou  not  to  keep  company,  if  any 
man  that  is  called  a  brother  be  a 
fornicator,  or  an  idolater,  or  a 
railer,  or  a  drunkard,  or  an  extor- 
tioner ;  with  such  a  one  no  not  to 

1  Co.  6—5 1  speak  to  your  shame. 
Is  it  so,  that  there  is  not  a  wise  man 
among  you?  that  shall  be  able  to 
judge  between  his  brethren? 

6  But  brother  goeth  to  law  with 
brother,  and  that  before  the  un- 
believers. 

7  Now  there  is  utterly  a  fault 
among  you,  because  ye  go  to  law 
one  with  another.  Why  not  take 
wrong?  Why  do  ye  not  rather 
suffer  yourselves  to  be  defrauded? 

8  Nay,  ye  do  wTong,  and  defraud, 
and  that  your  brethren. 

1  Co.  14—26  How  is  it  then,  breth- 
ren? when  ye  come  together, 
every  one  of  you  hath  a  psalm, 
hath  a  doctrine,  hath  a  tongue, 
hath  a  revelation,  hath  an  mter- 
pretation.  Let  all  things  be  done 
unto  edifying. 

2  Th.  3—13  Brethren,  be  not 
weary  in  well  doing. 

14  And  if  any  man  obey  not  our 
word  by  this  epistle,  note  that 
man,  and  have  no  company  with 
him,  that  he  may  be  ashamed. 

15  Yet  count  him  not  as  an 
enemy,  but  admonish  him  as  a 
brother. 

1  Th.  5—25  Brethren,  pray  for  us. 
Greet  all  the  brethren  with  a  holy 
kiss. 

2  Co.  13—11  Finally,  bretlu-en, 
farewell.  Be  perfect,  be  of  one 
mind,  live  in  peace ;  and  the  God 
of  love  and  peace  shall  be  with 
you.

the  Lord  imputeth  not  iniquity. 
Ps.  128—1  Blessed   is  every  one 


that  feareth  the  Lord  ;  that  walk- 
eth  in  his  ways. 

Nu.  24—9  Blessed  is  he  that 
blesseth  thee,  and  cui'sed  is  he 
that  curseth  thee. 

Lu.  6—28  Bless  them  that  curse 
you,  and  pray  for  them  which  de- 
spitefully  use  yovi. 

Ro.  12-14  Bless  them  which  per- 
secute you:  bless,  and  curse  not. 

Is.  32—20  Blessed  are  ye  that  sow 
beside  all  waters,  that  send  forth 
thither  the  feet  of  the  ox  and  the 
ass. 

Is.  65—8  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  As 
the  new  wine  is  found  in  the 
cluster,  and  one  saith.  Destroy  it 
not ;  for  a  blessing  is  in  it :  so  will 
I  do  for  my  .servants'  sake,  that  I 
may  not  destroy  them  all. 

Eze.  34—26  And  I  will  make 
them  and  the  places  round  about 
my  hill  a  blessing;  and  I  will 
cause  the  shower  to  come  down  in 
his  season;  there  shall  be  showers 
of  blessing. 

Mat.  .5—2  Jesusopened  his  mouth, 
and  taught  them,  saying, 

3  Blessed  are  the  poor  m  spirit: 
for  theirs  is  the  kingdom  of 
heaven. 

4  Blessed  are  they  that  mourn: 
for  they  shall  be  comforted. 

5  Blessed  are  the  meek :  for  they 
shall  inherit  the  earth. 

6  Blessed  are  they  which  do  hun- 
ger and  thirst  after  righteousness : 
for  they  shall  be  tilled. 

7  Blessed  are  the  merciful:  for 
they  shall  obtain  mercy. 

8  Blessed  are  the  pure  in  heart : 
for  they  shall  see  God. 

9  Blessed  are  the  peacemakers: 
for  they  shall  be  called  the  chil- 
dren of  God. 

10  Blessed  are  they  which  are 
persecuted  for  righteousness' 
sake:  for  theirs  is  the  kingdom 
of  heaven. 

11  Blessed  are  ye,  when  men 
shall  revile  and  persecute  you. 
and  say  all  manner  of  evil  against 
you  falsely,  for  my  sake. 

12  Rejoice,  and  be  exceeding 
glad :  for  great  is  your  reward  in 
heaven:  for  so  persecuted  they 
the  prophets  which  were  before 
you. 

Lu.  6—20  Blessed  be  ye  poor :  for 
yours  is  the  kingdom  of  God. 

21  Blessed  are  ye  that  hunger 
now :  for  ye  shall  be  filled.  Blessed 
are  ye  that  weep  now :  for  ye  shall 
laugh. 


16 


22  Blessed  are  ye,  when  men 
shall  hate  you,  and  when  they 
shall  separate  you  from  their  com- 
pany, and  shall  reproach  you,  and 
cast  out  yom-  name  as  evil,  for  the 
Son  of  man's  sake. 

23  Rejoice  ye  in  that  day,  and 
leap  for  joy:  for,  hehold,  your  re- 
ward is  great  in  heaven:  for  in 
the  like  manner  did  their  fathers 
unto  the  prophets. 

Lu.  11—27  And  a  certain  woman 
of  the  coniEjany  lifted  up  her 
voice,  and  said  unto  him.  Blessed 
is  the  womb  that  bare  thee,  and 
the  paps  which  thou  hast  sucked. 

28  But  Jesus  said,  Yea,  rather, 
blessed  are  they  that  hear  the 
word  of  God,  and  keep  it. 

Ac.  20—3.5  Remember  the  words 
of  the  Lord  Jesus,  how  he  said, 
It  is  more  blessed  to  give  ^han  to 
receive.

Ex.  24—4  And  Moses  wi'ote  all 
the  words  of  the  Lord,  and  rose 
up  early  ui  the  morning,  and 
builded  an  altar  imder  the  hill, 
and  twelve  pillars,  according  to 
the  twelve  tribes  of  Israel. 

5  And  he  sent  yoimg  men  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  which  offered 
burnt  offerings,  and  sacrificed 
peace  offerings  of  oxen  unto  the 
Lord. 

6  And  Moses  took  half  of  the 
blood,  and  put  it  in  basins;  and 
half  of  the  blood  he  sprinkled  on 
the  altar. 

7  And  he  took  the  book  of  the 
covenant,  and  read  in  the  audi- 
ence of  the  people :  and  they  said. 
All  that  the  Lord  hath  said  will 
we  do,  and  be  obedient. 

8  And  Moses  took  the  blood,  and 
sprinkled  it  on  the  people,  and 
said.  Behold  the  blood  of  the  cov- 
enant, which  the  Lord  hath 
made  with  you  concerning  all 
these  words. 

Ex.  32—33  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Moses,  Whosoever  hath 
siimed  against  me,  him  will  I  blot 
out  of  my  book. 


De.  31—24  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  Moses  had  made  an  end  of 
writing  the  words  of  this  law  in  a 
book,  until  they  were  finished, 

25  That  Moses  commanded  the 
Levites,  which  bare  the  ark  of 
the  covenant  of  the  Lord,  say- 
ing, 

26  Take  this  book  of  the  law, 
and  put  it  in  the  side  of  the  ark 
of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  your 
God,  that  it  may  be  there  for  a 
witness  against  thee. 

27  For  I  know  thy  rebellion, 
and  thy  stiff  neck :  beholdj  while 
I  am  yet  alive  with  you  this  day, 
ye  have  been  rebellious  against 
the  Lord  ;  and  how  much  more 
after  my  death? 

Jos.  1—8  This  book  of  the  law 
shall  not  depart  out  of  thy  mouth ; 
but  thou  shalt  meditate  therein 
day  and  night,  that  thou  mayest 
observe  to  do  according  to  all  that 
is  written  therein :  for  then  thou 
shalt  make  thy  way  pi'osperous, 
and  then  thou  shalt  have  good 
success,    p.  168. 

Jos.  23—6  Be  ye  therefore  very 
courageous  to  keep  and  to  do  all 
that  is  written  in  the  book  of  the 
law  of  Moses,  that  ye  turn  not 
aside  therefrom  to  the  right  hand 
or  to  the  left. 

Mai.  3— IG  And  a  book  of  remem- 
brance was  written  for  them  that 
feared  the  Lord,  and  thought 
upon  his  name.    p.  486. 

He.  10—7  Then  said  I,  Lo,  I  come 
(in  the  volume  of  the  book  it  is 
written  of  me)  to  do  thy  will,  O 
God. 

Ps.  40—7  Then  said  I,  Lo,  I  come : 
in  the  volume  of  the  book  it  is 
written  of  me. 

Ps.  69—28  Let  them  be  blotted 
out  of  the  book  of  the  living,  and 
not  be  written  with  the  righteous. 

Re.  3—5  He  that  overcometh, 
the  same  shall  be  clothed  in 
white  raiment;  and  I  will  not 
blot  out  his  name  out  of  the  book 
of  life,  but  I  will  confess  his 
name  before  my  Father,  and  be- 
fore his  angels. 

Re.  17—8  And  they  that  dwell 
on  the  earth  shall  wonder,  whose 
names  were  not  wi-itten  in  the 
book  of  life  fi-om  the  foundation 
of  the  world,    p.  534. 

Re.  20—15  And  whosoever  was

defileth, neither  whatsoever  work-

but  they  which  are  written  in  the

Re.  22—7  Beliold,  I  come  quickly : 
blessed  is  he  that  keepeth  the 
sayings  of  the  prophecy  of  this 
book. 

10  And  he  saith,  Seal  not  the 
sayings  of  the  prophecy  of  this 
book :  for  the  time  is  at  hand.  p. 
37. 

18  For  I  testify  unto  every  man 
that  heareth  the  words  of  the 
prophecy  of  this  book,  If  any  nnin 
shall  add  unto  these  things,  God 
shall  add  unto  him  the  plagues 
that  are  written  in  this  book. 

19  And  if  any  man  shall  take 
away  from  the  words  of  the  book 
of  this  prophecy,  God  shall  take 
away  his  part  out  of  the  book  of 
life,  and  out  of  the  holy  city,  and 
from  the  things  which  are  writ- 
ten in  this  book,    p.  536. 

Is.  29—11  And  the  vision  of  all  is 
become  unto  you  as  the  words  of 
a  book  tliat  is  sealed,  which  men 
deliver  to  one  that  is  learned,  say- 
ing. Read  this,  I  pray  thee:  and 
he  saith,  I  cannot ;  for  it  is  sealed : 

12  And  the  book  is  delivered  to 
him  that  is  not  learned,  saying. 
Read  this,  1  pray  thee:  and  he 
saith,  I  am  not  learned. 

18  And  in  that  day  shall  the 
deaf  hear  the  words  of  the  book, 
and  tlie  eyes  of  the  blind  shall 
see  out  of  obscurity,  and  darkness. 

Re.  5—1  And  I  saw  in  the  right 
hand  of  him  that  sat  on  the  throne 
a  book  written  within  and  on  t^ie 
back  side,  sealed  with  seven  seals. 
See  Re.  6  and  8,  p.  530,  531. 

2  And  I  saw  a  strong  angel  pro- 
claiming with  a  loud  voice.  Who 
is  worthy  to  open  the  book,  and 
to  loose  the  seals  thereof? 

3  And  no  man  in  heaven,  nor  in 
earth,  neither  imder  the  earth, was 
able  to  open  the  book,  neither  to 
look  thereon. 

4  And  I  wept  much,  because  no 
man  was  found  worthy  to  open 
and  to  read  the  book,  neither  to 
look  thereon. 

5  And"  one  of  the  elders  saith 
unto  me,  Weep  not:  behold,  the 
Lion  of  the  tribe  of  Juda,  the  Root 
of  David,  hath  prevailed  to  open 
the  book,  and  to  loose  the  seven 
seals  thereof. 


6  And  I  beheld,  and,  lo,  in  the 
midst  of  the  throne  and  of  the 
four  beasts,  and  in  the  midst  of 
the  elders,  stood  a  Lamb  as  it  had 
been  slain, having  seven  horns  and 
.seven  eyes,  which  are  the  seven 
Spirits  of  God  sent  forth  into  all 
the  earth. 

7  And  he  came  and  took  the  book 
out  of  the  right  hand  of  him  that 
sat  upon  the  throne. 

8  And  when  he  had  taken  the 
book,  the  four  beasts  and  four  and 
twenty  elders  fell  down  before  the 
Lamb,  having  every  one  of  them 
harps,  and  golden  vials  full  of 
odoms,  whicli  are  the  prayers  of 
saints. 

9  And  they  sung  a  new  song, 
saying.  Thou  art  worthy  to  take 
the  book,  and  to  open  the  seals 
thereof :  for  thou  wast  slain,  and 
hast  redeemed  us  to  God  by  thy 
blood  out  of  every  kindred,  and 
tongue,  and  people,  and  nation ; 

10  And  hast  made  us  unto  our 
God  kings  and  priests:  and  we 
shall  reign  on  the  earth. 

11  And  I  beheld,  and  I  heard  the 
voice  of  many  angels  round  about 
the  throne,  and  tlie  beasts,  and  the 
elders:  and  the  number  of  them 
was  ten  thousand  times  ten  thou- 
.sand,  and  thousands  of  thou- 
sands , 

12  Saymg  with  a  loud  voice. 
Worthy  is  the  Lamb  that  was  slain 
to  receive  power,  and  riches,  and 
wisdom,  and  strength,  and  honour, 
and  glory,  and  blessing. 

Da.  7—9  1  beheld  till  the  thrones 
were  cast  down,  and  the  Ancient 
of  days  did  sit,  whose  garment  was 
white  aS'Snow,  and  the  hair  of  his 
head  like  the  pure  wool:  his 
throne  was  like  the  fiery  flame, 
and  his  wheels  as  burning  fire. 

10  A  fiery  stream  issued  and 
came  forth  from  before  him:  thou- 
sand thousands  ministered  unto 
him,  and  ten  thousand  times  ten 
thousand  stood  before  him:  the 
judgment  was  .set,  and  the  books 
were  opened.    Re.  1. 13,  p.  490. 

Re.  10—1  And  I  saw  another 
mighty  angel  come  down  from 
heaven,  clothed  with  a  cloud :  and 
a  rainbow  was  upon  his  head,  and 
his  face  was  as  it  were  the  sun, 
and  his  feet  as  inllars  of  fire : 

2  And  he  had  in  his  hand  a  little 
book  open:  and  he  .set  his  right 
foot  upon  the  sea,  aud  his  left  foot 
on  the  earth. 


18 


3  And  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  as 
when  a  lion  roareth:  and  when  he 
had  cried,  seven  thunders  uttered 
their  voices. 

4  And  when  the  seven  thunders 
had  uttered  their  voices,  I  was 
ahout  to  write :  and  I  heard  a  voice 
from  heaven  saying.  Seal  up  those 
thing's  which  the  seven  thunders 
uttered,  and  write  them  not. 

5  And  the  angel  which  I  saw 
lifted  up  his  hand  to  heaven, 

6  And  sware  by  him  that  livetli 
for  ever  and  ever,  who  created 
heaven,  and  earth,  and  the  thmgs 
that  therein  are,  and  the  sea,  and 
the  things  which  are  therein,  that 
there  should  be  time  no  longer: 

7  But  in  the  days  of  the  voice  of 
the  seventh  angel,  when  he  shall 
begin  to  sound,  the  mystery  of 
God  should  be  finished,  as  he 
hath  declared  to  his  servants  the 
prophets. 

8  And  the  voice  which  J  heard 
from  heaven  spake  unto  me  again, 
and  said,  Go  and  take  the  little 
book  which  is  open  in  the  hand 
of  the  angel  which  standeth  upon 
the  sea  and  upon  the  earth. 

9  And  I  went  luito  the  angel,  and 
said  unto  him.  Give  nie  the  little 
book.  And  he  said  unto  me.  Take 
it,  and  eat  it  up;  and  it  shall  make 
thy  belly  bitter,  but  it  shall  be  in 
thy  mouth  sweet  as  honey. 

10  And  I  took  the  little  book  out 
of  the  angel's  hand,  and  ate  it  up ; 
and  it  was  in  my  mouth  sweet  as 
honey:  and  as  soon  as  I  had  eaten 
it,  my  belly  was  bitter. 

Ac.  19—19  Many  of  them  which 
used  curious  arts  brought  their 
books  together,  and  burned  them 
before  all  men :  and  they  counted 
the  price  of  them,  and  found  it 
lifty  thousand  pieces  of  silver. 

Job  19—23  Oh  that  my  words 
were  now  written!  oh  that  they 
were  printed  iii  a  book  I    p.  385.

that  the  Almighty  would  answer 
me,  and  that  mine  adversaiT  had 
written  a  book.    p.  387. 

Is.  34—16  Seek  ye  out  of  the  book 
of  the  Lord,  and  read :  no  one  of 
these  shall  fail,  none  shall  want 
her  mate. 

Phi.  4—3  And  I  entreat  thee,  true 
yokefellow,  help  those  women 
which  laboured  with  me  in  the 
gospel,  with  Clement  and  my  lel- 
low  labourers,  whose  names  are 
in  the  book  of  life. 


Ec.  12—12  And  further,  by  these, 
my  son,  be  admonished :  of  mak- 
ing many  books  there  is  no  end : 
and  much  study  is  a  weariness  of 
the  flesh. 

Eze.  2—9  And  when  I  looked, 
behold,  a  hand  was  sent  mito  me ; 
and,  lo,  a  roll  of  a  book  was 
therein; 

10  And  he  spread  it  before  me ; 
and  it  was  written  within  and 
without:  and  there  was  written 
therein  lamentations,  and  mourn- 
ing, and  woe. 

Je.  51—63  And  it  shall  be,  when 
thou  hast  made  an  end  of  reading 
this  book,  that  thou  shalt  bind  a 
stone  to  it,  and  cast  it  into  the 
midst  of  Euphrates.

is  pleasant. 

Pro.  20—17  Bread  of  deceit  is 
sweet  to  a  man;  but  afterwards 
his  mouth  shall  be  filled  with 
gravel. 

Pro.  31—27  She  looketh  well  to 
her  household,  and  eateth  not  the 
bread  of  idleness,    p.  210. 

Ec.  9—7   Go  thy  way,  eat  thy 


bread  with  joy,  and  drink  thy 
wine  with  a  merry  heart ;  for  God 
now  accepteth  thy  works. 

Ec.  11—1  Cast  thy  bread  upon 
the  waters :  for  thou  shalt  find  it 
after  many  days. 

2  Give  a  portion  to  seven,  and 
also  to  eight;  for  thou  knowest 
not  what  evil  shall  be  upon  the 
earth. 

Is.  30—20  And  though  the  Lurd 
give  you  the  bread  of  adversity, 
and  the  water  of  affliction,  yeb 
shall  not  thy  teachers  be  removed 
into  a  corner  any  more,  but  thme 
eyes  shall  see  thy  teachers. 

La.  5—9  We  gat  our  bread  with 
the  peril  of  our  lives,  because  of 
the  sword  of  the  wilderness. 

Eze.  4—16  Behold.  I  will  break 
the  staff  of  bread  in  Jerusalem: 
and  they  shall  eat  bread  by 
weight,  and  with  care ;  and  they 
shall  drink  water  by  measure, 
and  with  astonishment: 

17  That  they  may  want  bread 
and  water,  and  be  astonied  one 
with  another,  and  consume  away 
for  their  iniquity. 

Eze.  12—18  Son  of  man.  eat  thy 
bread  with  quaking,  and  drink 
thy  water  with  trembling  and 
with  carefulness. 

Eze.  IC— 49  Pride,  fulness  of 
bread,  and  abundance  of  idleness 
was  in  her  and  in  her  daughters. 

Ho.  9^  They  shall  not  offer 
wine  offerings  to  the  Lord. 
neither  shall  they  be  pleasing 
unto  him :  their  sacrifices  shall  be 
unto  them  as  the  bread  of  mourn- 
ers; all  that  eat  thereof  shall  be 
polluted :  for  their  bread  for  their 
soul  shall  not  come  into  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

Mat.  7 — 9  Or  what  man  is  there 
of  you.  whom  if  his  son  ask  bread, 
will  he  give  him  a  stone? 

10  Or  if  he  ask  a  fish,  will  he 
give  him  a  serpent?  Mat.  4. 19,  p. 
197. 

Lu.  14—15  And  when  one  of  them 
that  sat  at  meat  with  Jesus  heard 
these  things,  he  said  xuito  him. 
Blessed  is  he  that  shall  eat  bread 
in  the  kingdom  of  God. 

2  Th.  3—12  Now  we  command 
and  exhort  by  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  that  with  quietness  they 
work,  and  eat  their  own  bread.

BODY,  BELLY.    See    alao  Mat. 
10.  28.  p.  118. 


1  Co.  6—13  Meats  for  the  belly, 
and  the  belly  for  meats :  but  God 
shall  destroy  both  it  and  them. 
Now  the  body  is  not  lor  fornica- 
tion, but  for  the  Lord ;  and  the 
Lord  for  the  body.         ,       .      , 

14  And  God  hath  both  raised  up 
the  Lord,  and  will  also  raise  up  us 
by  his  own  power.  . 

15  Know  ve  not  that  your  bodies 
are  the  members  of  Christ?  shall 
I  then  take  the  members  of  Christ, 
and  make  them  the  members  of  a 
harlot?    God  forbid. 

16  What!  know  ye  not  that  he 
which  is  joined  to  a  harlot  is  one 
body?  for  two,  saith  he,  shall  be 
one  flesh.  .    .  .      ,      ^    ., 

17  But  he  that  is  jomed  rmto  the 
Lord  is  one  spirit.  _ 

18  Flee  fornication.  Every  sm 
that  a  man  doeth  is  without  the 
body ;  but  he  that  committeth  for- 
nication silineth  against  his  own 

body.         .  ,  ^^1    ^ 

19  What !  know  ye  not  that  your 
body  is  the  temple  of  the  Holy 
Ghost  which  is  in  you,  which  ye 
have  of  God,  and  ye  are  not  your 

own?  ,        ■,  ^       .Lx 

20  For  ye  are  bought  with  a 
price:  therefore  glorify  God  in 
your  body,  and  m  your  spirit, 
which  are  God's. 

1  Co.  9—27  But  I  keep  under  my 
body,  and  bring  it  into  subjection : 
lest  that  by  any  means,  when  1 
have  preached  to  others,  I  niyselt 
should  be  a  castaway. ,      ,     ,      . 

1  Co.  12—12  For  as  the  body  is 
one,  and  hath  manv  members,  and 
all  the  members  of  that  one  body, 
being  many,  are  one  body :  so  also 
is  Christ.  „   .  .^  n 

13  For  by  one  Spirit  are  we  all 
baptized  into  one  body,  whether 
we  be  Jews  or  Gentiles,  whether 
we  be  bond  or  free ;  and  have  been 
all  made  to  drink  into  one  Spirit. 

14  For  the  body  is  not  one  mem- 
ber, but  many. 

15  If  the  foot  shall  say.  Because  I 
am  not  the  hand,  I  am  not  of  the 
body;  is  it  therefore  not  of  the 
body*^ 

16  And  if  the  ear  shall  say.  Be- 
cause I  am  not  the  eye,  I  am  not 
of  the  body ;  is  it  therefore  not  of 
the  body?      ,    ,     ,     , 

17  If  the  whole  body  were  an 
eye,  where  were  the  hearing?    It 


the  whole  were  hearing,  where 
were  the  smelling? 

18  But  now  hath  God  set  the 
members  every  one  of  them  in  the 
body,  as  it  hath  pleased  him. 

19  And  if  they  were  all  one  mem- 
ber, where  were  the  body? 

20  But  now  are  they  many  mem- 
bers, yet  but  one  body. 

21  And  the  eye  cannot  say  unto 
the  hand,  I  have  no  need  of  thee : 
nor  again  the  head  to  the  feet,  I 
have  no  need  of  you. 

22  Nay,  much  more  those  mem- 
bers of  the  body,  which  seem  to  be 
more  feeble,  are  necessary : 

23  And  those  members  of  the 
body,  which  we  think  to  be  less 
honourable,  upon  these  we  bestow 
more  abundant  honour;  and  our 
micomely  parts  have  more  abun- 
dant comeliness. 

24  For  om-  comely  parts  have  no 
need :  but  God  hath  tempered  the 
body  together,  having  givemnore 
abundant  honour  to  that  part 
which  lacked :  ,      , ,    , 

25  That  there  should  be  no 
schism  in  the  body ;  but  that  the 
members  should  have  the  same 
care  one  for  another 

26  And  whether  one  member  suf- 
fer, all  the  members  suffer  with  it ; 
or  one  member  be  honoured,  all 
the  members  rejoice  with  it.     . 

27  Now  ye  are  the  body  of  Christ, 
and  members  in  particular.  _ 

28  And  God  hath  set  some  m  the 
church,  first  apostles,  secondarily 
prophets,  thirdly  teachers,  alter 
that  miracles,  then  gifts  of  heal- 
ings, helps,  governments,  diver- 
sities of  tongues. 

29  Are  all  apostles?  are  all  proph- 
ets? are  all  teachers?  are  all  work- 
ers of  miracles? 

30  Have  all  the  gifts  of  healmg? 
do  all  speak  with  tongues?  do  all 

interpret?         ^i  .^i,  -u  4. 

31  But  covet  earnestly  the  best 
gifts:  and  yet  shew  I  unto  you  a 
more  excellent  way.    p.  If©. 

1  Co.  1.5 — 10  There  are  also  celes- 
tial bodies,  and  bodies  terrestrial : 
but  the  glory  of  the  celestial  is 
one,  and  the  glory  of  the  terres- 
trial is  another.     . 

2  Co.  5—6  Knowmg  that,  whilst 
we  are  at  home  in  the  body,  we 
are  absent  from  the  Lord. 

Job  20—23  When  he  is  about  to 
fill  his  bellv.  God  shall  cast  the 
fury  of  his  wrath  upon  him,  and 
rain  it  upon  him  while  he  is  eatmg.

Job  32—10  Behold,  my  belly  is  as 
wine  which  hath  no  vent;  it  is 
ready  to  burst  like  new  bottles. 
p.  387. 

Ro.  16—18  For  they  that  are  such 
serve  not  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
but  their  own  belly ;  and  by  good 
words  and  fair  speeches  deceive 
the  hearts  of  the  simple. 

Phi.  3—19  Whose  end  is  destruc- 
tion, whose  God  is  their  belly,  and 
Miiose  glory  is  in  their  shame,  who 
mind  earthly  things.

Ge.  1—24  God  said.  Let  the  earth 
bring  forth  the  living  creature 
after  his  kind,  cattle,  and  creep- 
ing thing,  and  beast  of  the  earth 
after  his  kind,  and  it  was  so. 

25  And  God  made  the  beast  of 
the  earth  after  his  kind,  and  cattle 
after  their  kind,  and  every  thing 
that  creepeth  upon  the  earth  after 
his  kind :  and  God  saw  that  it  was 
good. 

Job  35—11  Who  teacheth  us  more 
than  the  beasts  of  the  earth,  and 
maketh  us  wiser  than  the  fowls  of 
heaven? 

Job  40—15  Behold  now  behemoth, 
which  I  made  with  thee ;  he  eat- 
etli  grass  as  an  ox. 

16  Lo  now,  his  strength  is  in  his 
loins,  and  his  force  is  m  the  navel 
of  his  belly. 

17  He  moveth  his  tail  like  a 
cedar :  the  sinews  of  his  stones  are 
wrapped  together. 

18  His  bones  are  as  strong  pieces 
of  brass;  his  bones  are  like  bars 
of  iron. 

19  He  is  the  chief  of  the  ways  of 
God :  he  that  made  him  can  make 
his  sword  to  approach  unto  him. 

20  Surely  the  mountains  bring 
him  forth  food,  where  all  the 
beasts  of  the  field  play. 

21  He  lieth  under  the  shady  trees, 
in  the  covert  of  the  reed,  and  fens. 

22  The  shady  trees  cover  him 
with  their  shadow ;  the  willows  of 
the  brook  compass  him  about. 

23  Behold,  he  drinketh  up  a 
river:  he  trusteth  that  he  can 
draw  up  Jordan  into  his  mouth. 


Ps.  50—9  I  will  take  no  bullock 
out  of  thy  house,  nor  he  goats  out 
of  thy  folds : 

10  For  eveiw  beast  of  the  forest 
is  mine,  and  the  cattle  upon  a 
thousand  hills. 

11  I  know  all  the  fowls  of  the 
mountains:  and  the  wild  beasts 
of  the  field  are  mine. 

Job  21—10  Their  bull  gendereth, 
and  faileth  not;  their  cow  calveth, 
and  casteth  not  her  calf. 

Ps.  22—12  Many  bulls  have  com- 
passed me :  strong  bulls  of  Bashan 
have  be.set  me  roimd. 

13  They  gaped  upon  me  with 
their  mouths,  as  a  ravening  and 
a  roaring  lion.

because  ye  rejoiced,  O  ye  de- 
stroyersof  mine  heritage,  because 
ye  are  grown  fat  as  the  heifer  at 
gra.ss,  and  bellow  as  bulls.

De.  .3—11  Only  Og  king  of  Bashan 
remamed  of  the  remnant  of 
giants;  behold,  his  bedstead  was 
a  bedstead  of  iron  ;  is  it  not  in  Rab- 
bath  of  the  children  of  Ammori? 
nine  cubits  was  the  length  there- 
of, and  four  cubits  the  breadth  of 
it,  after  the  cubit  of  a  man. 

SS.  3—7  Behold  his  bed,  which  is 
Solomon's ;  threescore  valiant  men 
are  about  it,  of  the  valiant  of 
Israel. 

8  They  all  hold  swords,  being 
expert  in  war:  every  man  hath  his 
.sword  upon  his  thigh  because  of 
fear  in  the  night,    p.  172.

upon  their  couches,  and  eat  the

Is.  57—7  Upon  a  lofty  and  high 
mountain  hast  thou  set  thy  bed : 
even  thither  wentest  thou  up  to 
offer  sacrifice. 

8  Behind  the  doors  also  and  the 
posts  hast  thou  set  up  thy  remem- 
brance: for  thou  hast  discovered 
thyself  to  another  than  me,  and  art 
gone  up:  thou  hast  enlarged  tliy

with  them ;  thou  lovedst  their  bed

Pro.  22—27  If  thou  hast  nothing 
to  pay,  wliy  should  he  take  away 
thy  bed  from  under  thee? 

Is.  28—20  For  the  bed  is  shorter 
than  that  a  man  can  stretch  him- 
self on  it:  and  the  covermg  nar- 
rower than  that  he  can  wrap  him-

Bodies.  See  also  Judah  ordered

took  the  body  of  Saul  and  the 
bodies  of  his  sons  from  the  wall  ot 
Beth-shan,  and  came  to  Jabesli, 
and  burnt  them  there,    p.  422.

taken  up  a  curse  by  all  the  cap- 


tivity of  Judah  which  are  in  Baby- 
lon, saying.  The  Lord  make  thee 
like  Zedekiah  and  like  Ahab, 
whom  the  kuig  of  Babylon  roasted 
in  the  tire. 

Am.  2—1  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; 
For  three  transgressions  of  Moab, 
and  tor  four,  I  will  not  turn  away 
the  punishment  thereof ;  because

of  Edom  into  lime. 

Am.  6—10  And  a  man's  uncle 
shall  take  him  up,  and  he  that 
burnetii  him,  to  bring  out  the 
bones  out  of  the  house.

all  my  goods  to  feed  the  poor,  and 
though  I  give  my  body  to  be 
bm-ned,  and  have  not  charity,  it 
profiteth  me  nothing.

2  Ki.  6—18  And  Elisha  prayed 
mito  the  Lord,  and  said.  Smite 
this  people,  I  pray  thee,  with 
blindness.  And  he  smote  them 
with  blmdness  according  to  the 
word  of  Elisha.    p.  433.

on  us.  .         , 

28  And  when  he  was  come  into 
the  house,  the  blind  men  came  to

Believe  ye  that  I  am  able  to  do 
this?    They  said  imto  him,  Yea, 

Lord.  ,     -,  ,      ^,    . 

29  Then  touched  he  their  eyes, 
saying.  According  to  your  faith 
be  it  mito  you. 

30  And  their  eyes  were  opened ;

man  unto  him,  and  besought  him 
to  touch  him. 

23  And  he  took  the  blind  man  by 
the  hand,  and  led  him  out  of  the 
town;  and  when  he  had  spit  on 
his  eyes,  and  put  his  hands  upon

and  saw  every  man  clearly. 

Mar.  10 — 46  And  they  came  to 
Jericho:  and  as  he  went  out  of 
Jericho  with  his  disciples  and  a 
great  number  of  people,  blind 
Bartimesu,  the  son  of  Timeus,  sat 
by  the  higliway  side  begging. 

47  And  when  he  heard  that  it 
was  Jesus  of  Nazareth,  he  began 
to  cry  out,  and  say,  Jesus,  thou 
Son  of  David,  have  mercy  on  me. 

48  And  many  charged  him  that 
he  should  hold  his  peace :  but  he 
cried  the  more  a  great  deal.  Thou 
Son  of  David,  have  mercy  on  me. 

49  And  Jesus  commanded  him 
to  be  called.  And  they  call  the 
blind  man,  saying,  Be  of  good 
comfort, rise;  he  calleth  thee. 

•W  And  he,  casting  away  his  gar- 
ment, rose,  and  came  to  Jesus. 

51  And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
mito  him,  What  wilt  thou  that  I 
should  do  unto  thee?  The  blind 
man  said  unto  him.  Lord,  that  I 
might  receive  mjr  sight. 

52  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Go 
thy  way:  thy  faith  hath  made 
thee  whole.  And  immediately  he 
received  his  sight,  and  followed 
Jesus  in  the  way. 

Jno.  9—1  And  as  Jesus  passed 
by,  he  saw  a  man  which  was  blind 
from  his  birth. 

2  And  his  disciples  asked  him, 
saying,  Master,  wlio  did  sin.  this 
man,  or  his  parents,  that  he  was 
bom  blind? 

3  Jesus  answered.  Neither  hath 
this  man  sinned,  nor  his  parents : 
but  that  tlie  works  of  God  should 
be  made  manifest  in  him. 

6  When  he  had  thus  spoken,  he 
spat  on  the  ground,  and  made 
clay  of  the  spittle,  and  he  anoint- 
ed the  eyes  of  the  blind  man. 

7  And  said  unto  him,  Go,  wash 
in  the  pool  of  Siloam,  (which  is  by 
interpretation.  Sent.)  He  went 
and  washed,  and  came  seeing. 


14  And  it  was  the  sabbath  day 
when  Je.sus  made  the  clay,  and 
opened  his  eyes. 

39  And  Je.sus  said.  For  judgment 
I  am  come  into  this  world,  that 
they  which  see  not  might  see; 
and  that  they  which  see  might  be 
made  blind. 

40  And  some  of  the  Pharisees 
wliich  were  with  him  heard  these 
words,  and  said  imto  him.  Are  we 
blind  aLso? 

41  Jesus  said  unto  them.  If  ye 
were  blind,  ye  should  have  no  sin : 
but  now  ye  say.  We  see ;  therefore 
your  sin  remaineth. 

Le.  19—14  Thou  shalt  not  curse 
the  deaf,  nor  put  a  stumbling- 
blo©k  before  the  blind,  but  shalt 
fear  thy  God :  I  am  the  Lord. 

De.  27—18  Cursed  be  he  that 
maketh  the  blind  to  wander  out 
of  the  way. 

Is.  6—9  And  he  said.  Go,  and  tell 
this  people.  Hear  ye  indeed,  but 
understand  not ;  and  see  ye  in- 
deed, but  perceive  not. 

10  Make  the  heart  of  this  people 
fat,  and  make  their  ears  heavy, 
and  shut  their  eyes;  lest  they  see 
with  their  eyes,  and  hear  with 
their  ears,  and  understand  with 
their  heart,  and  convert,  and  be 
healed. 

Jno.  12—39  They  could  not  be- 
lieve, because  that  Esaias  said, 

40  He  hath  blinded  their  eyes. 
and  hardened  their  heart;  that 
they  should  not  see  with  their 
eyes,  nor  understand  with  their 
heart,  and  be  converted,  and  I 
should  heal  them.    Mat.  13. 14. 

Is.  42—16  And  I  will  bring  the 
blind  by  a  way  that  they  knew 
not;  I  will  lead  them  in  paths 
that  they  have  not  known :  I  will 
make  darkness  light  before  them, 
and  crooked  things  straight. 

18  Hear,  ye  deaf;  and  look,  ye 
blind,  that  ye  may  see. 

19  Who  is  blind,  but  my  ser- 
vant? or  deaf,  as  my  messenger 
that  I  sent?  wlio  is  blind  as  he^ 
that  is  perfect,  and  blind  as  the 
Lord's  servant? 

20  Seeing  many  things,  but  thou 
observest  not;  opening  the  ears, 
but  he  heareth  not. 

Is.  43—8  Bring  forth  the  blind 
people  that  have  eyes,  and  the 
deaf  that  have  ears. 

Mat.  1.5—14  Let  them  alone :  they 
be  blind  leaders  of  the  blind. 
And  if  the  blind  lead  the  blind, 
both  shall  fall  into  the  ditch.

BACKSLIDER.  BACKBITER.

BAG.  BOIL. 

Le.  3—17  It  shall  be  a  perpetual 
statute  for  your  generations 
throughout  all  your  dwellings, 
that  ye  eat  neither  fat  nor  blood. 

Le.  17—10  And  whatsoever  hian 
there  be  of  the  house  of  Israel,  or 
of  the  strangers  that  sojourn 
among  you,  that  eateth  any  man- 
ner of  blood;  I  will  even  set  my 
face  against  that  soul  that  eateth 
blood,  and  will  cut  him  of¥  from 
among  his  people. 

11  For  the  life  of  the  flesh  is  in 
the  blood ;  and  I  have  given  it  to 
you  upon  the  altar  to  make  an 
atonement  for  your  souls:  for  it 
is  the  blood  that  maketh  an  atone- 
ment for  the  soul. 

12  Therefore  I  said  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  No  soul  of  you  shall 
eat  blood,  neither  shall  any  stran- 
ger that  sojounieth  among  you 
eat  blood.    Le.  7.  22-27,  p.  79. 

2  Ki.  21—16  Moreover  Manasseh 
shed  innocent  blood  very  mixch, 
till  he  had  filled  Jerusalem  from 
one  end  to  another,    p.  464. 

1  Chr.  22— s  But  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  to  David,  saying.  Thou 
hast  shed  blood  abundantly,  and 
hast  made  great  wars:  thou  shalt 
not  build  a  house  unto  my  name, 
because  thou  hast  shed  much 
blood  upon  the  earth  in  my  sight. 
p.  ;J66. 

Is.  59—3  For  your  hands  are  de- 
filed with  blood,  and  your  fingers 
with  iniquity;  your  lips  have 
spoken  lies,  your  tongue  hath 
muttered  perverseness. 

Eze  33—25  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  Ye  eat  with  the  blood,  and 
lift  up  your  eyes  toward  your 
idols,  and  shed  blood:  and  shall 
ye  pos.sess  the  land? 

Mat.  27—24  \\lien  Pilate  saw 
that  he  could  prevail  nothing, 
but  that  rather  a  tumult  was  made, 
he  took  water,  and  washed   his 


hands  before  the  multitude,  sav- 
ing, I  am  innocent  of  the  blood  of 
this  ijust  person:  see  ye  to  it. 

25  Then  answered  all  the  people, 
and  said,  His  blood  be  on  us,  and 
on  our  children. 

Re.  14—20  And  blood  came  out 
of  the  winepress,  even  unto  the 
horse  bridles,    p.  130. 

Pro.  14-14  The  backslider  in 
heart  shall  be  filled  with  his  own 
ways:  and  a  good  man  shall  be 
satisfied  from  himself. 

Je.  2-19  Thine  own  wickedness 
shall  correct  thee,  and  thy  back- 
slidings  shall  reprove  thee:  know 
therefore  and  see  that  it  is  an 
evil  thing  and  bitter,  that  thou 
hast  forsaken  the  Lord  thy  God. 

Je.  5—6  Their  transgressions  are 
many,  and  their  backslidings  are 
mcreased. 

Je.  8—5  Why  then  is  this  people 
of  Jerusalem  slidden  back  by  a 
perpetual  backsliding?  they  hold 
last  deceit,  they  refuse  to  return. 

Pro.  2.5—23  The  north  wind  driv- 
etli  aw-ay  rain ;  so  doth  an  angiy 
countenance  a  backbiting  tongue. 

Ro.  1—30  Backbiters,  haters  of 
God,  despiteful,  proud,  boasters, 
inventors  of  evil  things,  disobedi- 
ent to  parents. 

Gal.  5—15  But  if  ye  bite  and 
devour  one  another,  take  heed 
that  ye  be  not  consumed  one  of 
another.  

Pro.  22—29  Seest  thou  a  man 
diligent  in  his  business?  he  shall 
stand  before  kings;  he  shall  not 
stand  before  mean  men. 

Ro.  12—11  Not  slothful  in  busi- 
ness: fervent  in  spirit;  serving 
the  Lord. 

1  Th.  4—11  And  that  ye  study  to 
be  quiet,  and  to  do  your  own  busi- 
ness, and  to  work  with  yoiu-  own 
hands,  as  we  commanded  you. 

Le.  25—14  And  if  thou  sell  aught 
unto  thy  neighbour,  or  buyest 
aught  of  thy  neighbour's  hand, 
ye  shall  not  oppress  one  another. 

Pro.  20—14  It  is  naught,  it  is 
naught,  saith  the  buyer ;  but  when 
he  IS  gone  his  way,  then  he 
boasteth.  , 

Eze.  7—12  The  time  is  come,  the 
day  draweth  near:  let  not  the 
buyer  rejoice,  nor  the  .seller 
mom-n :  for  wrath  is  upon  all  the 
multitude  thereof.

Ja.  4—13  Go  to  now,  ye  tliat  say, 
To  day  or  to  moiTow  we  will  go 
into  such  a  city,  and  continue 
there  a  year,  and  buy  and  sell, 
and  get  gain : 

14  Whereas  ye  know  not  what 
shall  be  on  the  morrow.  For  what 
is  your  life?  It  is  even  a  vapour, 
that  appeareth  for  a  little  time, 
and  then  vanisheth  away. 

15  For  that  ye  ought  to  say.  If 
the  Lord  will,  we  shall  live  and  do 
this,  or  that.    

Hag.  1—6  Ye  have  sown  much, 
and  bring  in  little ;  ye  eat,  but  ye 
have  not  enough ;  ye  drink,  but  ye 
are  not  filled  with  drink ;  ye  clothe 
you,  but  there  is  none  warm :  and 
he  that  eameth  wages,  earneth 
wages  to  put  it  into  a  bag  with 
holes. 

Lu.  12—33  Sell  that  ye  have,  and 
give  alms;  provide  yourselves 
bags  which  wax  not  old,  a  treas- 
ure in  the  heavens  that  faileth 
not,  where  no  thief  approacheth, 
neither  moth  corrupteth. 

34  For  where  yoiir  treasure  is, 
there  will  your  heart  be  also. 

Jno.  12—6  This  he  said,  not  that 
he  cared  for  the  poor;  but  because 
he  was  a  thief,  and  had  the  bag, 
and  bare  what  was  put  therein. 

Jno.  13—2!)  Some  of  them  thought, 
because  Judas  had  the  bag,  that 
Jesus  had  said  unto  him.  Buy  those 
things  that  we  have  need  of 
against  the  feast;  or,  that  he 
should  give  something  to  the  poor, 
p.  513. 

2  Ki.  20—7  And  Isaiah  said.  Take 
a  lump  of  figs.  And  they  took  and 
laid  it  on  the  boil,  and  Hezekiah 
recovered,    p.  69. 

Job  2—7  Satan  went  from  the 
presence  of  the  Lokd,  and  smote 
Job  with  sore  boils  from  the  sole 
of  his  foot  unto  his  crown,    p.  382. 

BIRTH,  BORN.     Fiistbom,  Bom 
again. 

Job  3—2  And  Job  said, 

3  Let  the  day  perish  wherein  I 
was  born,  and  the  night  in  which 
it  was  said.  There  is  a  man  child 
conceived. 

16  Or  as  a  hidden  untimely  birth 
I  had  not  been ;  as  infants  which 
never  saw  light,    p.  383. 

Job  1.5—14  What  is  man  that  he 
should  be  clean?  and  he  which  is 
born  of  a  woman,  that  he  should 
be  righteous? 


1  Co.  1.5—8  And  last  of  all  he  was 
seen  of  me  also,  as  of  one  bom  out 
of  due  time.    p.  524. 

Ex.  1.3—1  And  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Moses,  saying, 

2  Sanctify  unto  me  all  the  first- 
born, whatsoever  openeth  the 
womb  among  the  children  of  Is- 
rael, both  of  man  and  of  beast:  it 
is  mine. 

De.  21—15  If  a  man  have  two 
wives,  one  beloved,  and  another 
hated,  and  they  have  borne  him 
children,  both  the  beloved  and  the 
hated  ;  and  if  the  fir.stborn  son  be 
hers  that  was  hated : 

16  Then  it  shall  be,  when  he 
maketh  his  sons  to  inherit  that 
which  he  hath,  that  he  may  not 
make  the  son  of  the  beloved 
firstborn  before  tlie  son  of  the 
hated,  which  is  indeed  the  first- 
born : 

17  But  he  shall  acknowledge  the 
son  of  the  hated  for  the  firstborn, 
bv  giving  him  a  double  portion  of 
ail  that  he  liath :  for  he  is  the  be- 
ginnm^  of  his  strength;  the  right 
of  the  firstborn  is  his. 

Jno.  3—1  There  was  a  man  of  the 
Pharisees,  named  Nicodemus,  a 
rviler  of  the  Jews : 

2  The  same  came  to  Jesus  by 
night,  and  said  unto  him.  Rabbi, 
we  know  that  thou  art  a  teacher 
come  from  God:  for  no  man  can 
do  these  miracles  that  thou  doest, 
except  (jod  be  with  him. 

3  JesiTS  answered  and  .said  unto 
him.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
thee.  Except  a  man  be  born  again, 
he  cannot  see  the  kingdom  of 
God. 

4  Nicodemus  saith  unto  him, 
How  can  a  man  be  born  when  he 
is  old?  can  he  enter  the  second 
time  into  his  mother's  womb,  and 
be  born? 

5  Jesus  answered.  Verily,  verily, 
I  say  unto  thee.  Except  a  man  be 
bora  of  water  and  of  the  Spirit,  he 
cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
God. 

6  That  which  is  bom  of  the  flesh 
is  flesh ;  and  that  which  is  born  of 
the  Spirit  is  spirit. 

7  Marvel  not  that  I  said  unto 
thee.  Ye  must  be  bom  again. 

8  The  wind  bloweth  where  it 
listeth,  and  thou  hearest  the 
sound  thereof,  but  canst  not  tell 
whence  it  cometh,  and  whither  it 
goeth :  so  is  every  one  that  is  boru 
of  the  Spirit.

BALANCES.  Bee  also,  weights 
aud  measures,    p.  320. 

Le.  19—36  Just  balances,  just 
weights,  a  just  ephah,  and  a  just 
Mn,  shall  ye  have. 

Job  6—1  But  Job  said, 

2  Oh  that  my  grief  were  thor- 
oughly weighed,  and  my  calam- 
ity laid  in  the  balances  together! 

3  For  now  it  would  be  heavier 
than  the  sand  of  the  sea.    p.  383. 

Job  31 — 6  Let  me  be  weighed  in 
an  even  balance,  that  God  may 
know  mine  integrity,    p.  386. 

Pro.  11—1  A  false  balance  is 
abomination  to  the  Lord:  but  a 
just  weight  is  his  delight. 

Da.  5—27  TEKEL;  Thou  art 
weighed  in  the  balances,  and  art 
found  wantmg.    p.  391. 

Ho.  12—7  He  is  a  merchant,  the 
balances  of  deceit  are  in  his  hand : 
he  loveth  to  oppress. 

Am.  8—5  Saymg,  When  will  the 
new  moon  be  gone,  that  we  may 
sell  corn?  and  the  sabbath,  that 
we  may  set  fortli  wheat,  making 
the  ephah  .small,  and  the  shekel 
great,  and  falsifying  the  balances 
by  deceit? 

Mi.  6—11  Shall  I  count  them 
pure  with  the  wicked  balances, 
and  with  the  bag  of  deceitful 
weights? 

Re.  6—5  And  I  beheld,  and  lo  a 
black  horse;  and  he  that  sat  on 
him  had  a  pair  of  balances  in  his 
hand.    p.  530. 

BEARD.  See  also,  Aaron's  beard, 
Ps.  133.  2,  p.  15.  Hanim,  king  of 
the  children  of  Amnion,  cut  off 
the  beard  of  David's  servants,  and 
in  consequence  over  forty  thou- 
sand men  lost  their  lives.  See  2 
Sa.  10.  4  aud  1  Chr.  19.  4,  p.  424. 

Le.  21—5  They  shall  not  make 
baldness  upon  their  head,  neither 
shall  they  shave  off  the  corner  of 
their  beard,  nor  make  any  cut- 
tings in  their  flesh. 

Je.  48—37  For  every  head  shall 
be  bald,  and  every  beard  clipped : 
upon  all  the  hands  shall  be  cut- 
tings, and  upon  the  loins  sack- 
cloth. 

2  Sa.  20—9  And  Joab  said  to 
Amasa,  Art  thou  in  health,  my 
brother?  And  Joab  took  Amasa 
by  the  beard  with  the  right  hand 
to  kiss  him. 

10  But  Amasa  took  no  heed  to 


the  sword  that  was  in  Joab's  hand : 
so  he  smote  him  therewith  in  the 
fifth  rib,  and  shed  out  his  bowels 
to  the  ground,  and  struck  him  not 
again ;  and  he  died.    p.  361.

1  Chr.  16—29  Give  unto  the  Lord 
the  glory  due  unto  his  name: 
worship  the  Lord  in  the  beauty  of 
holiness. 

Ps.  39—11  When  thou  with  re- 
bukes dost  coiTect  man  for  ini- 
quity, thou  makest  his  beauty  to 
consume  away  like  a  moth :  surely 
every  man  is  vanity. 

Ps.  90—17  And  let  the  beauty  of 
the  Lord  our  God  be  upon  us. 

Pro.  6—25  Lust  not  after  her 
beauty  in  thine  heart ;  neither  let 
her  take  thee  with  her  eyelids, 
p.  438. 

Pro.  31—30  Favour  is  deceitful, 
and  beauty  is  vain :  but  a  woman 
that  feareth  the  Lord,  she  shall 
be  praised. 

Is.  28—1  Woe  to  the  crown  of 
pride,  to  the  drunkards  of 
Ephraim,  whose  glorious  beauty 
is  a  fading  flower,    p.  210. 

5  In  that  day  shall  the  Lord 
of  hosts  be  for  a  crown  of  glory, 
and  for  a  diadem  of  beauty,  unto 
the  residue  of  his  people. 

Is.  52—7  How  beautiful  upon  the 
mountains  are  the  feet  of  him 
that  briugeth  good  tidings. 

Eze.  16—15  Thou  didst  trust  in 
thine  own  beauty,  and  playedst 
the  harlot  because  of  thy  renown, 
and  pouredst  out  thy  fornications 
on  every  one  that  passed  by. 

Eze.  28—17  Thine  heai-t  was 
lifted  up  because  of  thy  beauty, 
thoii  hast  corrupted  thy  wisdom 
by  reason  of  thy  brightness. 

Zee.  9 — 17  How  great  is  his  good- 
ness, and  how  great  is  his  beauty !

cheerful,  and  new  wine  the 
maids,    p.  483.

BARREN,  BURDENS,  BLOW. 
BANDS,  BONDS.  BONDAGE. 

Is.  54 — 1  Siiig,  O  barren,  thou 
that  didst  not  bear;  break  forth 
into  singing,  and  cry  aloud,  thou 
that  didst  not  travail  with  child: 
for  more  are  the  children  of  the 
desolate  than  the  children  of  the 
married  wife,  saith  the  Lord. 

Job  24—21  He  evil  entreateth 
the  barren  that  bearelh  not :  and 
doeth  not  good  to  the  widow. 
1  Sa.  2.  5.  p.  201. 

Ex.  23—26  There  shall  nothing 
cast  their  young,  nor  be  barren,  in 
tliy  land. 

De  7—14  Thou  shalt  be  blessed 
above  all  people:  there  shall  not 
be  male  or  female  barren  among 
you,  or  among  your  cattle. 

Ps.  113—9  He  niaketh  the  barren 
woman  to  keep  house,  and  to  be  a 
joyful  mother  of  children. 

Lu.  2;j— 29  Behold,  the  days  are 
coming,  in  the  which  they  shall 
say,  Blessed  are  the  barren,  and 
the  wombs  that  never  bare,  and 
the  paps  which  never  gave  suck. 


Ps.  5,5—22  Cast  thy  burden  upon 
the  Lord,  and  he  shall  sustain 
thee:  he  shall  never  suffer  the 
righteous  to  be  moved. 

Je.  23—36  And  the  burden  of  the 
Lord  shall  ye  mention  no  more; 
for  every  man's  word  shall  be  his 
burden. 

Mat.  11—30  For  my  yoke  is  easy, 
and  my  burden  is  light,    p.  ;i26. 

Gal.  6 — 2  Bear  ye  one  another's 
burdens,  and  so  fulfil  the  law  of 
Christ. 

5  For  every  man  shall  bear  his 
own  burden,    p.  198. 

Re.  2—24  I  will  put  upon  you 
none  other  burden. 

25  But  that  which  ye  have  al- 
ready, hold  fast  till  I  come. 

Is.  40—24  And  he  shall  also  blow 
upon  them,  and  they  shall  wither, 
and  the  whirlwind  shall  take 
them  away  as  stubble. 

Eze.  21— 31!l  will  blow  against 
thee  in  the  fire  of  my  wrath,  and 
deliver  thee  into  the  hand  of 
brutish  men. 


Eze.  22—21  Yea,  I  will  rather 
you,  and  blow  upon  you  in  the  lire 
of  my  wrath,  and  ye  shall  be 
melted  in  the  midst  thereof. 

Hag.  1—9  Ye  looked  for  much, 
and.  lo,  it  came  to  little;  and 
when  ye  brought  it  home,  I  did 
blow  upon  it. 

Ps.  3—3  Let  us  break  their  bands 
asmider,  and  cast  away  their 
cords  from  us. 

Ps.  107—14  He  brought  them  out 
of  darkness  and  the  shadow  of 
death,  and  brake  their  bands  in 
sunder. 

He.  13—3  Remember  them  that 
are  in  bonds,  as  bound  with  them ; 
and  them  which  suffer  advei'S- 
ity. 

Ac.  8—23  For  I  perceive  that 
thou  art  in  the  gall  of  bitterness, 
and  in  the  bond  of  iniquity. 

2  Pe.  2—19  While  they  promise 
them  liberty,  they  themselves 
are  the  servants  of  corruption :  for 
of  whom  a  man  is  overcome,  of  the 
same  is  he  brought  in  bondage. 

BAPTISM.  Baptism  of  Jesus 
Christ.  See  also.  Mat.  28. 19,20,  p. 
521 ;  Mar.  16.  14-18,  p.  522;  Ro.  6.  3. 
p.  248;  1  Co.  10.  1,  p.  256. 

Mat.  3—1  In  those  day;5  came 
John  the  Baptist,  preaching  in  the 
wilderness  of  Judea. 

2  And  saying.  Repent  ye:  for 
the  kingdom  of  heaveu  is  at 
hand. 

3  For  this  is  he  that  wa*}  spoken 
of  by  the  prophet  Esaia",  saying. 
The  voice  of  one  crying  in  the 
wilderness.  Prepare  ye  Ihe  way 
of  the  Lord,  make  his  paths 
straight. 

(Is.  40—3  The  voice  of  him  that 
crieth  in  the  wilderness.  Prepare 
ye  the  way  of  the  Lord,  make 
straight  in  the  desert  a  highway 
for  our  God.) 

4  And  the  same  John  Iiad  his 
raiment  of  camel's  hair,  and  a 
leathern  girdle  about  his  louis; 
and  his  meat  was  locusts  and 
wild  honey. 

5  Then  went  out  to  him  Jerusa- 
lem, and  all  Judea,  and  all  the 
region  round  about  Jordan, 

6  And  were  baptized  of  him  in 
Jordan,  confessing  their  sins. 

7  But  wlien  he  saw  many  of 
the  Pharisees  and  Sadduceescome 
to  his  baptism,  he  said  unto  them, 
O  generation  of  vipers,  who  hath 


28 


wanied  you  to  tiee  from  the  wrath 
to  come? 

8  Bring  forth  therefore  fruits 
meet  for  repentance : 

9  And  think  not  to  say  within 
youi-selves.  We  have  Abraham  to 
our  father:  for  I  say  unto  you, 
tliat  God  is  able  of  these  stones  to 
raise  xip  children  unto  Abraham. 

10  And  now  also  the  axe  is  laid 
unto  the  root  of  the  trees:  there- 
fore every  tree  which  bringethnot 
forth  good  friiit  is  hewu  down, 
and  cast  into  the  fire. 

11  I  indeed  baptize  you  with 
water  unto  repentance:  but  he 
that  cometh  after  me  is  mightier 
than  I,  whose  shoes  I  am  not 
worthy  to  bear:  he  shall  baptize 
you  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  with 
lire : 

12  "VMiose  fan  is  in  his  hand,  and 
he  will  thoroughly  purge  his  floor, 
and  gather  his  wheat  into  the 
garner;  but  he  will  bum  up  the 
chafl:  with  luiquenchable  fire. 

13  Then  cometh  Jesus  from  Gali- 
lee to  Jordan  vuito  John,  to  be 
baptized  of  him. 

14  But  John  forbade  him,  say- 
ing, I  have  need  to  be  baptized  of 
thee,  aud  comest  thou  to  me? 

15  And  Jesus  said  unto  him. 
Suffer  it  to  be  so  now :  for  thus  it 
becometh  us  to  fulfil  all  righteous- 
ness.   Then  he  suffered  him. 

16  And  Jesus,  when  he  was  bap^ 
tized,  went  up  straightway  out  of 
the  water:  and,  lo,  the  heavens 
were  opened,  and  he  saw  the 
Spirit  of  God  descending  like  a 
dove,  and  lighting  upon  him : 

17  And  lo  a  voice  from  heaven, 
saying.  This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in 
whom  I  am  well  pleased. 

Lu.  3—21  Now  when  all  the 
people  were  baptized,  it  came  to 
pass,  that  Jesus  also  being  bap- 
tized, and  praying,  the  heaven 
was  opened, 

22  And  the  Holy  Ghost  de- 
scended in  a  bodily  shape  like  a 
dove  upon  him,  and  a  voice  came 
from  heaven,  which  said.  Thou 
art  my  beloved  Son ;  in  thee  I  am 
well  pleased. 

23  And  Jesus  himself  began  to 
be  about  thirty  years  of  age,  bemg 
(as  was  supposed)  the  sou  of  Jo- 
seph. 

Mar.  16—16  He  that  believeth 
and  is  baptized  shall  be  saved ; 
but  he  that  believeth  not  shall  be 
damned,    p.  522. 


Eze.  36—25  Then  will  I  sprinkle 
clean  water  upon  you,  and  ye  shall 
be  clean :  fi-om  all  your  filtliiness, 
and  idols,  will  I  cleanse  you. 

He.  10—22  Let  us  draw  near  with 
a  true  heart  in  full  assurance  of 
faith,  having  our  hearts  sprinkled 
from  an  evil  conscience,  and  our 
bodies  washed  with  pui-e  water. 

BELIEVE,  BELIEVERS.  For  the 
only  true  sign  of  a  believer  in 
Jesus  Christ,  and  what  all  true 
and  honest  Christians  can  do  ac- 
cording to  Christ's  own  words, 
see  Mar.  16. 16-18.  p.  522 ;  Jno.  3. 18, 
p.  175 ;  14. 11, 12,  p.  315 ;  see  also  p.  551. 

BISHOPS.  Stewards  of  God. 

IMar.  9—23  Jesus  said  unto  him. 
If  thou  canst  believe,  all  things 
are  possible  to  him  that  believ- 
eth. 

Jno.  6—47  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you.  He  that  believeth  on  me 
hath  everlastuig  life.    p.  507. 

Jno.  11—26  And  whosoever  liveth 
and  believeth  in  me  shall  never 
die.    Believest  thou  this?    p.  457. 

Jno.  20—29  Jesus  saith  unto  him, 
Thomas,  because  tbou  hast  seen 
me,  thou  hast  believed:  blessed 
are  they  that  have  not  seen,  and 
yet  have  believed,    p.  519. 

1  Ti.  3—1  This  is  a  true  saying. 
If  a  man  desire  the  office  of  a 
bishop,  he  desireth  a  good  work. 

2  A  bishop  then  must  be  blame- 
less, the  husband  of  one  wife,  vig- 
ilant, sober,  of  good  behaviour, 
given  to  hospitality,  apt  to  teach ; 

3  Not  given  to  wine,  no  striker, 
not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre;  but 
patient,  not  a  brawler,  not  covet- 
ous; 

4  One  that  ruleth  well  his  own 
house,  having  his  children  in  sub- 
jection with  all  gravity ; 

5  (For  if  a  man  know  not  how  to 
nile  his  own  house,  how  shall  he 
take  care  of  the  chiu'ch  of  (iod?) 

6  Not  a  novice,  lest  being  lifted 
up  with  pride  he  fall  into  the  con- 
demnation of  the  devil. 

7  jSIoreover  he  must  have  a  good 
report  of  them  which  are  with- 
out; lest  he  fall  into  reproach  and 
the  snare  of  the  devil. 

Tit.  1—4  To  Titus,  mine  own  son 
after  the  common  faith:  (irace, 
mercy,  and  peace,  from  God  the 
Father  and  tlie  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
our  Saviour-. 


29 


5  For  this  cause  left  I  thee  in 
Crete,  that  tliou  shduldest  ordain 
elders  in  every  city: 

6  If  any  he  blameless,  the  hus- 
band of  one  wife,  having  faithful 
children  not  accused  of  riot  or 
unruly. 

7  For  a  bishop  must  be  blame- 
less, as  the  steward  of  God ;  not 
selfwilled.  not  soon  angry,  not 
given  to  wine,  no  striker,  not 
given  to  filthy  lucre ; 

8  But  a  lover  of  hospitality,  a 
lover  of  good  men,  sober,  just, 
holy,  temperate ; 

9  Holding  fast  the  faithful  word 
as  he  hath  been  taught,  that  he 
may  be  able  by  sound  doctrine 
both  to  exhort  and  to  convince 
the  gainsayers. 

BRIDE, BRIDEGROOM;  Parable 
of  the  Ten  Virgins  Mho  went  forth 
to  meet  the  bridegroom.  Bams; 
Parable  of  the  rich  man  who  set 
up  the  greater  barns.  Brick; 
Taskmasters,  Brick,  Straws,  etc. 
See  also  Ex.  5,  p.  1.52,  and  first 
mention  of  brick,  used  m  building 
the  Tower  of  Babel,  Ge.  11. 1-9,  p. 
32.    Build,  masterbuilder,  etc. 

Jno.  3—29  He  that  hath  the 
bride  is  the  bridegroom:  but  the 
friend  of  the  bridegroom,  which 
standeth   and    heareth   him,   re- 

t'oiceth  greatly  because  of  the 
(ridegroom's  voice. 

Re.  22—17  And  the  Spirit  and 
the  bride  say.  Come.  And  let  him 
that  heareth  say,  Come.  And  let 
him  that  is  athirst  come.  And 
whosoever  will,  let  him  take  the 
water  of  life  freely,    p.  536. 

Is.  61—10  As  a  bridegroom  deck- 
eth  himself  with  ornaments,  and 
as  a  bride  adometh  herself  with 
her  jewels. 

Is.  62—5  And  as  the  bridegroom 
rejoiceth  over  the  bride,  so  shall 
thy  God  rejoice  over  thee. 

Mat.  9 — 15  And  Jesus  said  unto 
them.  Can  the  children  of  the 
bridechamber  mourn,  as  long  as 
the  bridegroom  is  with  them? 
but  the  days  will  come,  when  the 
bridegroom  shall  be  taken  from 
them,  and  then  shall  they  fast. 

Mat.  25—1  Then  stall  the  king- 
dom of  heaven  be  likened  unto 
ten  virgins,  which  took  their 
lamps,  and  went  forth  to  meet  the 
bridegroom. 

2  And  five  of  them  were  wise, 
and  five  were  foolish. 


3  They  that  were  foolish  took 
their  lamps,  and  took  no  oil  with 
them : 

4  But  the  wise  took  oil  in  their 
vessels  with  their  lamp.s. 

5  While  the  bridegroom  tarried, 
they  all  slumbered  and  slept. 

6  And  at  midnight  there  was  a 
cry  made.  Behold,  the  bridegroom 
Cometh ;  go  ye  out  to  meet  him. 

7  Then  all  those  virgins  arose, 
and  trimmed  their  lamps. 

8  And  the  foolish  said  unto  the 
wise.  Give  us  of  youi-  oil ;  for  our 
lamps  are  gone  out. 

9  But  the  wise  answered,  saying. 
Not  so ;  lest  there  be  not  enouglr 
ior  us  and  you :  but  go  ye  rather 
to  them  that  sell,  and  buy  for 
yourselves. 

10  And  while  they  went  to  buy, 
the  bridegroom  came;  and  they 
that  were  ready  went  iu  with  him 
to  the  marriage:  and  the  door 
was  shut. 

11  Afterward  came  also  the 
other  virgius,  saying.  Lord,  Lord, 
open  to  us. 

12  But  he  answered  and  said. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  I  know  you 
not. 

13  Watch  therefore;  for  ye  know 
neither  the  day  nor  the  hour 
wherein  the  Son  of  man  cometh. 

Pro.  :J— 9  Honour  the  Lord  with 
thy  substance,  and  with  the  first 
fruits  of  all  thine  increase. 

10  So  shall  thy  bams  be  filled 
with  plenty,  and  thy  presses  shall 
burst  out  with  new  wme. 

Lu.  12—16  And  Jesus  spake  a 
parable  unto  them,  saying.  The 

§  round   of    a  certain   rich  man 
rought  forth  plentifully: 

17  And  he  thought  within  him- 
self, saying.  What  shall  I  do,  be- 
cause I  have  no  room  where  to 
bestow  my  fruits? 

18  And  he  said.  This  will  I  do: 
1  will  pull  down  my  bams,  and 
build  ereater;  and  there  will  I  be- 
stow all  my  fmits  and  my  goods. 

19  And  I  will  say  to  my  soul. 
Soul,  thou  hast  much  goods  laid 
up  for  many  years;  take  thioe 
ease,  eat,  driuk,  and  be  merry. 

20  But  God  said  luito  him.  Thou 
fool,  this  night  thy  soul  shall  be 
required  of  thee:  then  whose 
shall  those  things  be,  which  thou 
hast  provided? 

21  So  is  he  that  layeth  up  treas- 
ure for  himself,  and  is  not  rich 
toward  God. 


30 


Ge.  11—3  Let  us  make  brick,  and 
bum  them  thoroughly.  Aud  they 
had  brick  for  stone,  and  slime  had 
they  for  mortar,    p.  32. 

Ex.  5—6  And  Pharaoh  com- 
manded the  taskmasters  of  the 
people,  and  their  officers,  saying, 

7  Ye  shall  no  more  give  the  peo- 
ple straw  to  make  brick,  as  here- 
tofore: let  them  go  and  gather 

.  straw  for  themselves. 

8  And  the  tale  of  the  bricks, 
which  they  did  make  heretofore, 
ye  shall  lay  upon  them ;  ye  shall 
not  diminish  aught  thereof:  for 
they  be  idle ;  therefore  they  cry, 
saying.  Let  us  go  and  sacrifice  to 
our  God. 

15  Then  the  officers  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  came  and  cried  unto 
Pharaoh,  saying.  Wherefore  deal- 
est thou  thus  with  thy  servants? 

16  There  is  no  straw  given  unto 
thy  servants,  and  they  say  to  us, 
Make  brick:  and,  behold,  thy  ser- 
vants are  beaten ;  but  the  fault  is 
in  thine  own  people. 

17  But  he  said,  Ye  are  idle,  ye 
are  idle :  therefore  ye  say.  Let  us 
go  and  do  sacrifice  to  the  Lord. 

18  Go  therefore  now.  and  work ; 
for  there  shall  no  straw  be  given 
you,  yet  shall  ye  deliver  the  tale 
of  bricks. 

Is.  9—10  The  bricks  are  fallen 
down,  but  we  will  build  with 
hewn  stones:  the  sycamores  are 
cut  down,  but  we  will  change 
them  into  cedars. 

Is.  65—22  They  shall  not  build, 
and  another  inhabit:  they  shall 
not  plant,  and  another  eat :  for  as 
the  days  of  a  tree  are  the  days  of 
my  people,  and  mine  elect  shall 
long  enjoy  the  work  of  their 
hands. 

Lu.  14—28  Which  of  you,  intend- 
ing to  build  a  tower,  sitteth  not 
down  first,  and  counteth  the  cost, 
whether  he  have  sufficient  to  fin- 
ish it? 

29  Lest  haply,  after  he  hath  laid 
the  foundation,  and  is  not  able  to 
finish  it,  all  that  behold  it  begin 
to  mock  him, 

30  Saying,  This  man  began  to 
build,  and  was  not  able  to  finish. 

1  Co.  3—9  For  we  are  labourers 
together  with  God:  ye  are  God's 
husbandry,  ye  are  God's  building. 

10  According  to  the  grace  of  God 
which  is  ^iven  unto  me,  as  a  wise 
masterbuilder,  I  have  laid  the 
foundation,  and  another  buildeth 
thereon.    But  let  evei-y  man  take 


heed  how  he  buildeth  thereupon. 
11  For  other  foundation  can  no 
man  lay  than  tbat  is  laid,  which 
is  Jesus  Christ.    Ro.  15. 20,  p.  232.

Eze.  35—13  Thus  with  your 
mouth  ye  have  boasted  against

words  against  me:  I  have  heard 
them.

When  the  whole  earth  rejoiceth, 
I  will  make  thee  desolate.

voice  unto  them,  shake  the  hand, 
that  they  may  go  into  the  gates

poll  thee ;  enlarge  thy  baldness  as 
the  eagle. 

Is.  3—24.  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  that  instead  of  sweet  smell 
there  shall  be  stink ;  and  instead 
of  a  girdle  a  rent :  and  instead  of 
well  set  hair  baldness;  and  in- 
stead of  a  stomacher  a  girding  of 
sackcloth;  and  burning  instead 
of  beauty,    p.  440.

righteous  sheweth  mercy,  and 
giveth.  .  ,        ,    ,

Is.  3^1  And  I  will  give  children 
to  be  their  princes,  and  babes 
shall  rule  over  them. 

Mat.  21— 16  And  Jesus  saith  unto 
them.  Have  ye  never  read,  Out  of 
the  mouth  of  babes  and  sucklings 
thou  hast  perfected  praise? 

Ps.  8—2  Out  of  the  mouth  of 
babes  and  sucklings  hast  thou  or- 
dained strength  because  of  thine 
enemies,  that  thou  mightest  still 
the  enemy  and  the  avenger. 

Je.  8—22  Is  there  no  balm  in  Gil- 
ead?  is  there  no  physician  there? 

Je.  46—11  Go  up  into  Gilead,  and 
take  balm,  O  virgin,  the  daughter 
of  Egypt :  in  vain  shalt  thou  use 
many  medicines;  for  thou  shalt 
not  be  cured.

war  was  in  his  heart:  his  words 
were  softer  than  oil,  yet  were  they 
drawn  swords.    Is.  7,  p.  468. 

Ec.  10—11  Surely  the  serpent  will 
bite  without  enchantment;  and 
a  babbler  is  no  better. 

1  Ti.  6—20  O  Timothy,  keep  that 
which  is  committed  to  thy  trust, 
avoidmg  profane  and  vain  bab- 
blings, and  oppositions  of  science 
falsely  so  called. 

2  Ti.  2-16  But  shun  profane  and 
vain  babblings:  for  they  will  in- 
crease unto  more  ungodliness.

there  are  some  which  walk  among 
you  disorderly,  working  not  at

1  Ti.  5—13  And  the  younger 
widows  learn  to  be  idle,  wander- 
ing about  from  house  to  house ; 
and  not  only  idle,  but  tattlers  also 
and  busybodies,  speaking  things 
which  they  ought  not. 

1  Pe.  4—15  But  let  none  of  you 
suffer  as  a  murderer,  or  as  a  thief, 
or  as  an  evil  doer,  or  as  a  busy- 
body in  other  men  s  matters. 

Ps.  39—1  I  said,  I  will  take  heed 
to  my  ways,  that  I  sin  not  with  my

is  before  me.    See  Index.

10  Day  and  night  they  go  aoout 
it  upon  the  walls:  mischief  and 
sorrow  are  in  the  midst  of  it. 

11  Wickedness  is  in  the  mid.st 
thereof:  deceit  and  guile  depart 
not  from  her  streets. 

Pro.  16—32  He  that  is  slow  to 
anger  is  better  than  the  mighty : 
and  he  that  ruleth  his  spirit  than 
be  that  taketh  a  city. 

Ec.  10—15  The  labour  of  the

Is.  19—18  In  that  day  shall  five

Am.  3—6  Shall    a   trampet   be

Mat.  5—14  Ye  are  the  light  ot

Babel.  See  also  Re.  17.  5,  p.  533, 
and  Re.  18. 1-^4,  p.  534. 

Ge.  10—8  And  Cush  begat  Nim- 
rod :  he  began  to  be  a  mighty  one 
in  the  earth. 

9  He  was  a  mighty  hunter  be- 
fore the  Lord:  wherefore  it  is 
said.  Even  as  Nimrod  the  mighty 
hmiter  before  the  Lord. 

10  And  the  beginning  of  his 
kingdom  was  Baoel.  and  Erech. 
and  Accad,  and  Calneh,  in  the 
land  of  Shinar. 

Ge.  11—1  And  the  whole  earth 
was  of  one  language,  and  of  one 
speech. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
journeyed  from  the  east,  that 
they  found  a  plain  in  the  land  of 
Shinar;  and  tliey  dwelt  there. 

3  And  they  said  one  to  another. 
Go  to,  let  us  make  brick,  and  burn 
them  thoroughly.  And  they  had 
brick  for  stone,  and  slime  had 
they  for  mortar. 

4  And  they  said.  Go  to,  let  us 
build  us  a  city,  and  a  tower, 
whose  top  may  reach  unto  heav- 
en ;  and  let  us  make  us  a  name, 
lest  we  be  scattered  abroad  upon 
the  face  of  the  whole  earth. 

5  And  the  Lord  came  down  to 
see  the  city  and  the  tower,  which 
the  children  of  men  builded. 

6  And  the  Lord  said,  Behold, 
the  people  is  one,  and  they  have 
all  one  language;  and  this  they 
begin  to  do:  and  now  nothing 
will  be  restrained  from  them, 
which  they  have  imagined  to 
do. 

7  Go  to,  let  us  go  down,  and 
there  confound  their  language, 
that  they  may  not  understand 
one  another's  speech. 


33 


8  So  the  Lord  scattered  them 
abroad  from  thence  upon  the  face 
of  all  the  earth:  and  they  left  off 
to  build  the  city. 

9  Therefore  is  the  name  of  it 
called  Babel;  because  the  Lord 
did  there  confound  the  language 
of  all  the  earth. 

Is.  13—19  And  Babylon,  the  gloi-y 
of  kingdoms,  the  beauty  of  the 
Chaldees'  excellency,  shall  be  as 
when  God  overthrew  Sodom  and 
GomoiTah. 

20  It  shall  never  be  inhabited, 
neither  shall  it  be  dwelt  in  from 
generation  to  generation :  neither 
shall  the  Arabian  pitch  tent 
there;  neither  shall  the  shep- 
herds make  their  fold  there. 

21  But.wild  beasts  of  the  desert 
shall  lie  there;  and  their  houses 
shall  be  full  of  doleful  creatures; 
and  owls  shall  dwell  there,  and 
satyrs  shall  dance  there. 

22  And  the  wiW  beasts  of  the 
islands  shall  cry  in  their  desolate 
houses,  and  dragons  in  their  pleas- 
ant palaces:  and  her  time  is  near 
to  come,  and  her  days  shall  not 
be  prolonged. 

Je.  50—45  Hear  ye  the  counsel  of 
the  Lord,  that  he  hath  taken 
against  Babylon-  and  his  pur- 
poses, that  he  hath  purposed 
against  the  land  of  the  Chaldeans. 

46  At  the  noise  of  the  taking  of 
Babylon  the  earth  is  moved,  and 
the  cry  is  heard  among  the  na- 
tions. 

Je.  51—7  Babylon  hath  been  a 
golden  cup  in  the  Lord's  band, 
that  made  all  the  earth  drmiken: 
the  nations  have  drunken  of  her 
wine;  therefore  the  nations  are 
mad. 

11  Make  bright  the  arrows; 
gather  the  shields:  the  Lord  hath 
raised  up  the  spirit  of  the  kings 
of  the  Medes:  for  his  device  is 
against  Babylon,  to  destroy  it; 
because  it  is  the  vengeance  of  the 
Lord. 

24  And  I  will  render  unto  Baby- 
lon and  to  all  the  inhabitants  of 
Chaldea  all  their  evil  that  they 
have  done  in  Zion  in  your  sight, 
saith  the  Lord. 

49  As  Babylon  hath  caused  the 
slain  of  Israel  to  fall,  so  at  Baby- 
lon shall  fall  the  slain  of  all  the 
earth. 

50  Ye  that  have  escaped  the 
sword,  go  away,  stand  not  still: 
remember  the  Lord  afar  off,  and 


let   Jerusalem   come    into   your 
mind. 

58  The  broad  walls  of  Babylon 
shall  be  utterly  broken,  and  her 
high  gates  shall  be  burned  with 
Are.

Ps.  76—1  In  Judah  is  God 
known:  his  name  is  great  in 
Israel. 

2  In  Salem  also  is  his  tabernacle, 
and  his  dwelluigplace  in  Zion. 

Jos.  15—63  As  for  the  Jebusites 
the  inhabitants  of  Jeru.salem,  the 
children  of  Judah  could  not  drive 
them  out :  but  the  Jebusites  dwell 
with  the  children  of  Judah  at  Je- 
rusalem unto  this  day. 

Ju.  1—8  Now  the  children  of 
Judah  had  fought  against  Jeru- 
salem, and  had  taken  it,  and 
smitten  it  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  set  the  city  on  fire. 

21  And  the  children  of  Benja- 
nirii  did  not  drive  the  Jebusites 
out  of  Jerusalem;  but  the  Jebu- 
sites dwell  with  the  children  of 
Benjamin  in  Jerusalem  unto  this 
day. 

2  Sa.  5— €  And  the  king  and  his 
men  went  to  Jerusalem  unto  the 
Jebusites,  which  spake  unto 
David,  saying.  Except  thou  take 
away  the  blind  and  the  lame, 
thou  shalt  iiiot  come  in :  thinking, 
David  cannot  come  in  hither. 

7  Nevertheless,  David  took  the 
strong  hold  of  Zion :  the  same  is 
the  city  of  David. 

(1  Chr.  11—5  And  the  inhabitants 
of  Jebus  said  to  David,  Thou  shalt 
not  come  hither.  Nevertheless 
David  took  the  castle  of  Zion, 
which  is  the  city  of  David.) 


34 


6  And  David  said.  Whosoever 
smiteth  the  Jebusites  first  shall 
be  chief  and  captain.  So  Joab 
the  son  of  Zeruiah  went  first  up, 
and  was  chief.) 

8  And  David  said  on  that  day, 
Whosoever  getteth  up  to  the  g'ut- 
ter,  and  smiteth  the  Jebusites, 
and  the  lame  and  the  blind,  that 
are  hated  of  David's  soul  he  shall 
be  chief  and  captain.  Wherefore 
they  said,  The  blind  and  the  lame 
shall  not  come  into  the  house. 

9  So  David  dwelt  in  the  fort,  and 
called  it  the  city  of  David.  And 
David  built  round  about  from 
Millo  and  inward.  Lu.  2.  4,  p.

Is.  1—1  The  vision  of  Isaiah  the 
son  of  Amoz,  which  he  saw  con- 
cerning Judah  and  Jerusalem  in 
the  days  of  Uzziah,  Jotham,  Ahaz, 
and  Hezekiah,  kings  of  Judah. 

2  Hear,  O  heavens,  and  give  ear, 
O  earth :  for  the  Lord  hath  spok- 
en ;  I  have  nourished  and  brought 
up  children,  and  they  have  rebel- 
led against  me. 

4  Ah  sinful  nation,  a  people 
laden  with  iniqiaity,  a  seed  of  evil 
doers,  children  that  are  corrupt- 
ers: they  have  forsaken  the  Lord, 
they  have  provoked  the  Holy  One 
of  Israel  unto  anger,  they  are 
gone  away  backward. 

7  Your  country  is  desolate,  your 
cities  are  burned  with  fire:  your 
laud,  strangers  devour  it  in  your 
presence,  and  it  is  desolate. 

16  Wash  ye,  make   you  clean; 

frat  away  the  evil  of  your  doings 
rom  before  mine  eyes;  cease  to 
do  evil ; 

17  Learn  to  do  well ;  seek  judg- 
ment, relieve  the  oppressed,  judge 
the  fatherless,  plead  for  the 
widow. 

18  Come  now,  and  let  us  reason 
together,  saith  the  Lord:  though 
your  sins  be  as  scarlet,  they  shall 
be  as  white  as  snow ;  though  they 
be  red  like  crimson,  they  shall  be 
as  wool. 

19  If  ye  be  willing  and  obedient, 
ye  shall  eat  the  good  of  the  land : 

20  But  if  ye  refuse  and  rebel,  ye 
shall  be  devoured  with  the  sword : 
for  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  hath 
spoken  it. 

21  How  is  the  faithful  city  be- 
come a  harlot!  it  was  full  of  judg- 
ment; righteousness  lodged  in  it: 
toiit  now  murderers. 

23  Thy  princes  are  rebellioiis, 
and  companions  of  thieves:  every 


one  loveth  gifts,  and  followeth 
after  rewards:  they  judge  not  the 
fatherless,  neither  doth  the  cause 
of  the  widow  come  unto  them. 

24  Therefore  saith  the  Lord,  I 
will  ease  me  of  mine  adversaries, 
and  avenge  me  of  mine  enemies. 

26  And  I  will  restore  thy  judges 
as  at  the  first,  and  thy  counsellors 
as  at  the  beginning:  afterward 
thou  shalt  be  called.  The  city  of 
righteousness,  the  faithful  city. 

27  Zion  shall  be  redeemed  with 
judgment,  and  her  converts  with 
righteousness.

honourable  man,  and  the  counsel- 
lor, and  the  cunning  artificer,  and

Je.  5—1  Run  ye  to  and  fro 
through  the  streets  of  Jerusalem, 
and  seek  in  the  broad  places 
thereof,  if  ye  can  find  a  man,  if 
there  be  any  that  executeth  judg- 
ment, that  seeketh  the  truth ;  and 
J  will  pardon  it.    Je.  7.  34,  p.  293. 

Mi.  3—10  They  build  up  Zion 
with  blood,  and  Jerusalem  with 
iniquity. 

12  Therefore  shall  Zion  for  your 
sake  be  ploughed  as  a  field,  and 
Jerusalem  shall  become  heaps. 

Je.  9—11  And  I  will  make  Jeru- 
salem heaps,  and  a  den  of  dragons: 
and  I  will  make  the  cities  of 
Judah  desolate,  without  an  in- 
habitant. See  2  Ki.  21.  13,  p.  238, 
and  Je.  25.  9,  p.  464. 

Jo.  3—20  Judah  shall  dwell  for 
ever,  and  Jerusalem  from  genera- 
tion to  generation,    p.  72. 

Je.  21—10  For  I  have  set  my  face 
against  this  city  for  evil,  and  not 
for  good,  saith  the  Lord:  it  shall 
be  given  into  the  hand  of  the 
king  of  Babylon,  and  he  shall 
bum  it  with  fire. 

2  Ki.  25—1  And  it  came  to  pass 
in  the  ninth  year  of  his  reign,  in 
the  tenth  month,  in  the  tenth 
day  of  the  month,  that  Nebu- 
chadnezzer  king  of  Babylon 
came,  he,  and  all  his  host,  against 
Jerusalem ;  and  they  built  forts 
against  it  round  about. 

2  And  the  city  was  besieg'ed 
imto  the  eleventh  year  of  king 
Zedekiah. 


35 


3  And  on  the  ninth  day  of  the 
fourth  month  the  famine  pre- 
vailed in  the  city,  and  there  was 
no  bread  for  the  people  of  the 
land. 

4  And  the  city  was  broken  up, 
and  all  the  men  of  war  fled  by 
night  by  the  way  of  the  gate  be- 
tween two  walls,  which  is  by  the 
king's  garden:  (now  the  Chaldees 
were  against  the  city  round 
about:)  and  the  king  went  the 
way  toward  the  plain. 

5  And  the  army  of  the  Chaldees 
pursued  after  the  king,  and  over- 
took htm  in  the  plains  of  Jericho: 
and  all  his  army  were  scattered 
fi'om  him. 

6  So  they  took  the  kin§,  and 
brought  him  up  to  the  knig  of 
Babylon  to  Riblah ;  and  they  gave 
judgment  upon  him. 

7  And  they  slew  the  sons  of  Zed- 
ekiah  before  his  eyes,  and  put  out 
the  eyes  of  Zedekiah,  and  bound 
him  with  fetters  of  brass,  and  car- 
ried him  to  Babylon. 

8  And  in  the  fifth  month,  on  the 
seventh  day  of  the  month,  which 
is  the  nineteenth  year  of  king 
Nebuchadnezzar  king  of  Baby- 
lon came  Nebuzar-adan,  captain 
of  the  guard,  a  servant  of  the  king 
of  Babylon,  unto  Jerusalem : 

9  And  he  burnt  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  king's  house,  and 
all  the  houses  of  Jerusalem,  and 
every  great  man's  house  burnt  he 
with  hre. 

10  And  all  the  army  of  the  Chal- 
dees, that  were  with  the  captain 
of  the  guard,  brake  down  the 
walls  of  Jerusalem  round  about. 

(La.  4—11  The  Lord  hath  accom- 
plished his  fury;  he  hath  poured 
out  his  fierce  anger,  and  hath  kin- 
dled a  tire  in  Zion,  and  it  hath 
devoured  the  foundations  thereof. 

12  The  kings  of  the  earth,  and 
all  the  inhabitants  of  the  world, 
would  not  have  believed  that  the 
adversary  and  the  enemy  should 
have  entered  into  the  gates  of 
Jerusalem.) 

11  Now  the  rest  of  the  people 
that  were  left  in  the  city,  and 
the  fugitives  that  fell  away  to 
the  king  of  Babylon,  with  the 
remnant  of  the  multitude,  did 
Nebuzar-adan  the  captain  of  the 
guard  carry  away. 

12  But  the  captain  of  the  guard 
left  of  the  poor  of  the  land  to  be 
vinedressers  and  husbandmen. 


18  And  the  captain  of  the  guard 
took  Seraiah  the  chief  priest,  and 
Zephaniah  the  second  priest,  and 
the  three  keepers  of  the  door: 

19  And  out  of  the  city  he  took 
an  officer  that  was  set  over  the 
men  of  war,  and  five  men  of  them 
that  were  in  the  king's  presence, 
which  were  found  'n  the  city,  and 
the  principal  scribe  of  the  host, 
wliicli  mustered  the  people  of  the 
land,  and  threescore  men  of  the 
people  of  the  land  that  were  found 
m  the  city : 

20  And  Nebuzar-adan  captain  of 
the  guard  took  these,  and  brought 
them  to  the  king  of  Babylon  to 
Riblah: 

21  And  the  king  of  Babylon 
smote  them,  and  slew  them  at 
Riblah  in  the  land  of  Hamath. 
So  Judah  was  carried  away  out  of 
their  land.  See  Lamentation  of 
Jeremiah  over  the  fall  of  Jeru- 
salem and  the  terrible  sufferings 
of  the  people.  La.  l,  2.  3,  4,  and  5, 
and  Eze.  5,  p.  82;  2  Chr.  36.  11-21 
and  Je.  34-43  and  52. 

1  The  constancy  of  the  Jews  in 
captivity.  7  Tlie  prophet  curseth 
Edom  and  Babel. 

Ps.  137—1  By  the  rivers  of  Baby- 
lon, there  we  sat  do\^^l,  yea,  we 
wept,  when  we  remembered 
Zion. 

2  We  lianged  our  harps  upon  the 
willows  in  the  midst  thereof. 

3  For  there  they  that  carried  us 
away  captive  required  of  us  a 
song;  and  they  that  wasted  us 
required  of  us  mirth,  saying,  Sing 
us  one  of  the  songs  of  Zion. 

4  How  shall  we  sing  the  Lord's 
song  in  a  strange  land? 

5  If  I  forget  thee,  O  Jerusalem, 
let  my  right  hand  forget  her  cun- 
ning. 

C  If  I  do  not  remember  thee,  let 
my  tongue  cleave  to  the  roof  of 
my  mouth ;  if  J  prefer  not  Jerusa- 
lem above  my  chief  joy. 

7  Remember,  O  Lord,  the  chil- 
dren of  Edom  in  the  day  of  Jeru- 
salem ;  who  said.  Rase  it,  rase  it, 
even  to  the  foundation  thereof. 

8  O  daughter  of  Babylon,  who 
art  to  be  destroyed;  happy  shall 
he  be,  that  rewardeth  thee  as 
thou  hast  served  us. 

9  Happy  shall  he  be,  that  tak- 
eth  and  dasheth  thy  little  ones 
against  the  stones.

Ps.  122—1  I  was  glad  when  they 
said  unto  me,  Let  us  go  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

2  Our  feet  shall  stand  withm 
thy  gates,  O  Jerusalem. 

3  Jerusalem  is  builded  as  a  city 
that  is  compact  together. 

4  Whither  the  tribes  go  up,  the 
tribes  of  the  Lord,  unto  the  testi- 
mony of  Israel,  to  give  thanks 
unto  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

5  For  there  are  set  thrones  of 
judgment,  the  thrones  of  the 
house  of  David. 

6  Pray  for  the  peace  of  Jerusa- 
lem :  they  shall  prosper  that  love 
thee. 

7  Peace  be  within  thy  walls,  and 
prosperity  within  thy  palaces. 

8  For  my  brethen  and  compan- 
ions' sakes,  I  will  now  say,  Peace 
be  within  thee. 

9  Because  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord  our  God  I  will  seek  thy  good. 

Ps.  132—11  The  Lord  hath  sworn 
in  truth  unto  David ;  he  will  not 
turn  from  it;  Of  the  fruit  of  thy 
body  will  I  set  upon  thy  throne. 

12  If  thy  children  will  keep  my 
covenant  and  my  testimony  that 
I  shall  teach  them,  their  children 
shall  also  sit  upon  thy  throne  for 
evermore. 

13  For  the  Lord  hath  chosen 
Zion;  he  hath  desired  it  for  his 
habitation. 

14  This  is  my  rest  forever:  here 
will  I  dwell ;  for  I  have  desii-ed  it. 

15  1  will  abundantly  bless  her 
provision:  I  will  satisfy  her  poor 
with  bread. 

IC  I  will  also  clothe  her  priests 
with  salvation:  and  her  saints 
shall  shout  aloud  for  joy. 

17  There  will  I  make  the  horn 
of  David  to  bud:  I  have  ordained 
a  lamp  for  mine  anointed. 

18  His  enemies  will  I  clothe 
with  shame:  but  xxpon  himself 
shall  his  crown  flourish. 

A  new  heaven,  and  a  new 
earth,  and  the  new  or  heavenly 
Jerusalem.  The  river  of  the 
water  of  life  and  the  tree  of  life. 

Re.  21—1  And  I  saw  a  new 
heaven  and  a  new  earth :  for  the 
first  heaven  and  the  first  earth 
were  passed  away ;  and  there  was 
no  more  sea. 

2  And  I  John  saw  the  holy  city, 
new  Jerusalem,  coming  down 
from  God  out  of  heaven,  prepared 
as  a  bride  adorned  for  her  husband. 


3  And  I  heard  a  great  voice  out 
of  heaven  saying.  Behold,  the  tab- 
ernacle of  God  IS  with  men,  and 
he  will  dwell  with  them,  and  they 
shall  be  his  people,  and  God  him- 
self shall  be  with  them,  and  be 
their  God. 

4  And  God  shall  wipe  away  all 
tears  from  their  eyes;  and  there 
shall  be  no  more  death,  neither 
sorrow,  nor  crying,  neither  shall 
there  be  any  more  pain:  for  the 
former  things  are  passed  away. 

5  And  he  that  sat  upon  the 
throne  said.  Behold,  I  make  all 
things  new.  And  he  said  vihto 
me.  Write:  for  these  words  are 
true  and  faithful. 

6  And  he  said  unto  me.  It  is 
done.  I  am  Alpha  and  Omega^ 
the  beginning  and  the  end.  I 
will  give  unto  him  that  is  athirst 
of  the  fountain  of  the  water  of 
life  freely. 

7  He  that  overcometh  shall  m- 
herit  all  things ;  and  I  will  be  his 
God,  and  he  shall  be  my  son. 

8  But  the  fearful,  and  unbeliev- 
ing, and  the  abominable,  and 
murderers,  and  whoremongers, 
and  sorcerers,  and  idolaters,  and 
all  liars,  shall  have  then-  part  in 
the  lake  which  bm-neth  with  fire 
and  brimstone:  which  is  the  sec- 
ond death. 

9  And  there  came  unto  me  one 
of  the  seven  angels  which  had 
the  seven  vials  full  of  the  seven 
last  plagues,  and  talked  with  me, 
saying.  Come  hither,  I  will  shew 
thee  the  bride,  the  Lamb's  wife. 

10  And  he  can-ied  me  away  in 
the  spirit  to  a  great  and  high 
mountain,  and  shewed  me  that 
great  city,  the  holy  Jerusalern,  de- 
scending out  of  heaven  from  God, 

11  Having  the  glory  of  God:  and 
her  light  was  like  unto  a  stone 
most  precious,  even  like  a  jasper 
stone,  clear  as  crystal ; 

12  And  had  a  wall  great  and 
high,  and  had  twelve  gates,  and 
at  the  gates  twelve  angels,  and 
names  written  thereon,  which 
are  the  names  of  the  twelve  tribes 
of  the  children  of  Israel : 

13  On  the  east  three  gates;  on 
the  north  three  gates;  on  the 
south  three  gates;  and  on  the 
west  three  gates.        ■        .      ,     , 

14  And  the  wall  of  the  city  had 
twelve  foundations,  and  in  them 
the  names  of  the  twelve  apostles 
of  the  Lamb. 


C  37 

15  And  he  that  talked  with  me 
liad  a  golden  reed  to  measure  the 
city,  the  gates  and  the  wall. 

16  And  the  city  lieth  foursquare, 
and  the  length  is  as  large  as  the 
breadth:  and  he  measm-ed  the 
city  with  the  reed,  twelve  thou- 
sand furlongs.  The  length  and 
the  breadth  and  the  height  of  it 
are  equal. 

17  And  he  measured  the  wall 
thereof,  a  hundred  and  forty  and 
four  cubits,  accorduig  to  the 
measure  of  a  man,  that  is,  of  the 
angel. 

18  And  tlie  building  of  the  wall 
of  it  was  of  jasper:  and  the  city 
waspure  gold,  like  untoclear  glass. 

19  And  the  foundations  of  the 
wall  of  the  city  were  garnished 
with  all  mannerofpreciousstones. 
The  first  foimdation  was  jasper; 
the  second,  sapphire ;  the  third,  a 
chalcedony;  the  fourth,  an  em- 
erald ; 

20  The  fifth,  sardonyx;  the 
sixth,  sardius ;  the  seventh,  chiTS- 
olite ;  the  eighth,  beryl ;  the  ninth, 
a  topaz;  the  tenth,  a  chrysopra- 
sus;  the  eleventh,  a  jacinth;  the 
twelfth,  an  amethyst. 

21  And  the  twelve  gates  were 
twelve  pearls;  every  several  gate 
was  of  one  pearl:  and  the  street 
of  the  city  was  pure  gold,  as  it 
were  transparent  glass. 

22  And  I  saw  no  temple  therein : 
for  the  Lord  God  Almighty  and 
the  Lamb  are  the  temple  of  it. 

23  And  the  city  had  no  need  of 
the  sun,  neither  of  the  moon,  to 
shine  in  it :  for  the  glory  of  God 
did  lighten  it,  and  the  Lamb  is 
the  light  thereof. 

24  And  the  nations  of  them 
which  are  saved  shall  walk  in  the 
light  of  it:  and  the  kings  of  the 
earth  do  bring  their  glory  and 
honour  into  it. 

25  And  the  gates  of  it  shall  not 
be  shut  at  all  by  day:  for  there 
shall  be  no  night  there. 

26  And  they  shall  bring  the 
glory  and  honour  of  the  nations 
into  it. 

27  And  there  shall  in  no  wise 
enter  into  it  any  thing  that  de- 
fileth,  neither  whatsoever  work- 
eth  abomination,  or  maketh  a  lie: 
but  they  which  are  written  m  the 
Lamb's  book  of  life. 

Re.  22—1  And  he  shewed  me  a 
pure  river  of  water  of  life,  clear 
as  crystal,  proceeding  out  of  the 
throne  of  God  and  of  the  Lamb. 


2  In  the  midst  of  the  street  of 
it,  and  on  either  side  of  the  river, 
was  there  the  tree  of  life,  which 
bare  twelve  manner  of  fruits,  and 
yielded  her  fruit  every  month: 
and  the  leaves  of  the  tree  were 
for  the  healing  of  the  nations. 

3  And  there  shall  be  no  more 
curse:  but  the  throne  of  God  and 
of  the  Lamb  shall  be  in  it;  and 
his  servants  shall  serve  him; 

4  And  they  shall  see  his  face; 
and  his  name  shall  be  in  their 
foreheads. 

5  And  there  shall  be  no  night 
there;  and  they  need  no  candle, 
neither  light  of  the  sun;  for  the 
Lord  God  giveth  them  light:  and 
they  shall  reign  for  ever  and  ever. 

6  And  he  said  imto  me.  These 
sayuigs  are  faithful  and  true :  and 
the  Lord  God  of  the  holy  prophets 
sent  his  angel  to  shew  unto  his 
servants  the  things  which  must 
shortly  be  done. 

7  Behold,  I  come  quickly:  bless- 
ed is  he  that  keepeth  the  sayings 
of  the  prophecy  of  this  book. 

8  And  I  John  saw  these  things, 
and  heard  them.  And  when  I 
had  lieard  and  seen,  I  fell  down 
to  worship  the  angel  which 
shewed  me  these  things. 

9  Then  saith  he  unto  me.  See 
thou  do  it  not :  for  I  am  thy  fellow 
servant,  and  of  thy  brethren  the 
prophets,  and  of  them  which  keep 
the  savings  of  this  book :  worship 
God. 

10  And  he  saith  vmto  me.  Seal 
not  the  sayings  of  the  prophecy  of 
this  book:  for  the  time  is  at  hand. 

11  He  that  is  unjust,  let  him  be 
mijust  still:  and  he  which  is 
filthy,  let  him  be  filthy  still :  and 
he  that  is  righteous,  let  him  be 
righteous  still:  and  he  that  is 
holy,  let  him  be  holy  still. 

12  And,  behold,  I  come  quickly; 
and  my  reward  is  with  me,  to  give 
every  man  according  as  his  work 
shall  be. 

13  I  am  Alpha  and  Omega,  the 
beginning  and  the  end,  the  first 
and  the  last. 

14  Blessed  are  they  that  do  his 
commandments,  that  they  may 
have  right  to  the  tree  of  lire,  and 
may  enter  in  through  the  gates 
into  the  city. 

15  For  without  are  dogs,  and  sor- 
cerers, and  whoremongers,  and 
murderers,  and  idolaters,  and 
whosoever  loveth  and  maketh  a

16  I  Jesus  have  sent  mine  angel 
to  testify  unto  you  tliese  tilings  in

Nineveh  (Jonah,  the  whale, 
and  the  gourd),  Rehoboth,  Calah, 
Resen,  etc. 

Ge.  10—11  Asshur  builded  Nine- 
veh^and  the  city  Rehoboth,  and 
Calah, 

12  And  Resen  between  Nineveh 
and  Calah :  the  same  is  a  gi-eat  city. 

Jon.  1—1  Now  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  imto  Jonah  the  son  of 
Amittai,  saying, 

2  Arise,  go  to  Nineveh,  that 
great  city,  and  cry  against  it; 
for  their  wickedness  is  come  up 
before  me. 

3  But  Jonah  rose  up  to  flee  unto 
Tarshish  from  the  presence  of  the 
Lord,  and  went  down  to  Joppa; 
and  he  found  a  ship  going  to  lar- 
shish :  so  he  paid  the  fare  thereof, 
and  went  down  into  it,  to  go  with 
them  imto  Tarshish  from  the 
presence  of  the  Lord. 

4  II  But  the  Lord  sent  otit  a 
great  wind  into  the  sea,  and  there 
was  a  mighty  tempest  in  the 
sea,  so  that  the  ship  was  like  to 
be  broken. 

5  Then  the  mariners  were  afraid, 
and  cried  every  manixnto  his  god, 
and  cast  forth  the  wares  that  were 
in  the  ship  into  the  sea,  to  lighten 
it  of  them.  But  Jonah  was  gone 
down  into  the  sides  of  the  ship ; 
and  he  lay,  and  was  fast  asleep. 

6  So  the  shipmaster  came  to 
him,  and  said  unto  him.  What 
meanest  thou,  O  sleeper?  arise, 
call  upon  thy  God,  if  so  be  that 
God  will  think  upon  us,  that  we 
perish  not. 

7  And  they  said  every  one  to  his 
fellow.  Come,  and  let  us  cast  lots, 
that  we  may  know  for  whose 
cause  this  evil  is  upon  us.  So 
they  cast  lots,  and  the  lot  fell 
upon  Jonah. 

15  So  they  took  up  Jonah,  and 
cast  him  forth  into  the  sea:  and 
the  sea  ceased  from  her  raging. 

16  Then  the  men  feared  the 
Lord  exceedingly,  and  offered  a 
sacrifice  imto  the  Lord,  and 
made  vows. 

17  Now  the  Lord  had  prepared 
a  great  fish  to  swallow  up  Jonah. 
And  Jonah  was  in  the  belly  of  the 


fish  three  days  and  three  nights. 

Mat.  12 — 40  For  as  Jonas  was 
tliree  days  and  three  nights  in  the 
whale's  belly;  so  shall  the  Son  of 
man  be  three  days  and  three 
nights  in  the  heart  of  the  earth. 

41  The  men  of  Nineveh  shall  rise 
in  judgment  with  this  generation, 
and  shall  condemn  it:  because 
they  repented  at  the  preaching  of 
Jonas ;  and,  behold,  a  greater  than 
Jonas  is  here. 

Jon.  2—1  Then  Jonah  prayed 
unto  the  Lord  his  God  out  of  the 
fish's  belly, 

2  And  said,  I  cried  by  reason  of 
mme  affliction  unto  the  Lord, 
and  he  heard  me ;  out  of  the  belly 
of  hell  cried  L  and  thou  heardest 
my  voice. 

10  II  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
the  fish,  and  it  vomited  out  Jonah 
upon  the  dry  land. 

Jon.  3—1  And  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  imto  Jonah  the  sec- 
ond time,  saying, 

2  Arise,  go  unto  Nineveh,  that 
great  city,  and  preach  unto  it  the 
preaching  that  1  bid  thee. 

3  So  Jonah  arose,  and  went  unto 
Nineveh,  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord.  Now  Nineveh  was 
an  exceeding  great  city  of  three 
days'  journey. 

4  And  Jonah  began  to  enter  mto 
the  citv  a  day's  journey,  and  he 
cried,  and  said.  Yet  forty  days, 
and  Nineveh  shall  be  overthrown. 

5  H  So  the  people  of  Nineveh  be- 
lieved God,  and  proclaimed  a  last, 
and  put  on  sackcloth,  from  the 
greatest  of  them  even  to  the  least 
of  them.  . 

6  For  word  came  mito  the  kmg 
of  Nineveh,  and  he  arose  from  his 
throne,  and  he  laid  his  robe  from 
him,  and  covered  him  with  sack- 
cloth, and  sat  in  ashes. 

7  And  he  caused  it  to  be  pro- 
claimed and  published  through 
Nineveh  by  the  decree  of  the 
king  and  his  nobles,  .saying,  Let 
neither  man  nor  beast,  herd  nor 
flock,  taste  any  thmg:  let  them 
not  feed,  nor  drink  water: 

8  But  let  man  and  beast  be 
covered  with  sackcloth,  and  cry 
mightily  unto  God :  yea,  let  them 
tuni  every  one  from  his  evil  way, 
and  from  the  violence  that  is  m 
their  hands. 

9  Who  can  tell  if  God  will  turn 
and  repent,  and  turn  away  fi'om  his 
fierce  auger,  that  we  perish  not? 


39 


10  And  God  saw  their  works, 
that  they  turned  from  their  evil 
way;  and  God  repented  of  the 
evil,  that  he  had  said  that  he 
would  do  unto  them :  and  he  did 
it  not.    See  Na.  3. 

Jon.  4—1  But  it  displeased  Jonah 
exceedingly,  and  he  was  very 
angry. 

2  And  he  prayed  unto  the  Lord, 
and  said,  1  pray  thee,  O  Lord,  was 
not  this  my  saying,  when  I  was 
yet  in  uiy  co\iutry  ?  Therefore  I 
fled  before  unto  Tarshish:  for  I 
knew  that  thou  art  a  gracious 
God,  and  merciful,  slow  to  anger, 
and  of  great  kindness,  and  repent- 
est  thee  of  the  evil. 

3  Therefore  now,  O  Lord,  take,  I 
beseech  thee,  my  life  from  me ;  for 
it  is  better  for  me  to  die  than  to 
live. 

4  t  Then  said  the  Lord,  Doest 
thou  well  to  be  angry  ? 

5  So  Jonah  went  out  of  the  city, 
and  sat  on  the  east  side  of  the  city, 
and  there  made  him  a  booth,  and 
sat  under  it  in  the  shadow,  till  he 
might  see  what  would  become  of 
the  city. 

6  And  the  Lord  God  prepared  a 
gourd,  and  made  it  to  come  up 
over  Jonah,  that  it  might  be  a 
shadow  over  his  head,  to  deliver 
him  from  his  grief.  So  Jonah  was 
exceeding' glad  of  the  gourd. 

7  But  God  prepared  a  worm 
when  the  morning  rose  the  next 
day,  and  it  smote  the  gourd  that 
it  withered. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
sun  did  arise,  that  God  prepared  a 
vehement  east  wind ;  and  the  sun 
beat  upon  the  head  of  Jonah,  that 
he  fainted,  and  wished  in  himself 
to  die,  and  said.  It  is  better  for  me 
to  die  than  to  live. 

9  And  God  said  to  Jonah,  Doest 
thou  well  to  be  angry  for  the 
gourd  ?  And  he  said,  I  do  well  to 
be  angry,  even  unto  death. 

10  Ihen  said  the  Lord,  Thou 
hast  had  pity  on  the  gourd,  for  the 
which  th(m  hast  not  laboured, 
neither  madest  it  grow;  which 
came  up  in  a  night,  and  perished 
in  a  night : 

11  And  should  not  I  spare  Nin- 
eyeh,  that  great  city,  wherein  are 
more  than  sixscore  thousand  per- 
sons that  cannot  discern  between 
their  right  hand  and  their  left 
hand ;  and  also  much  cattle? 

Zep.  2—13  And   the   Lord  will 


stretch  out  his  hand  against  the 
north,  and  destroy  Assyria;  and 
will  make  Nineveh  a  desolation, 
and  dry  like  a  wilderness. 

15  This  is  the  rejoicing  city  that 
dwelt  carelessly,  that  said  in  her 
heart,  I  am,  and  there  is  none  be- 
sides me:  how  is  she  become  a 
desolation,  a  place  for  beasts  to  lie 
down  in !  every  one  that  passeth  by 
her  shall  hiss,  and  wag  his  hand. 

Ur  of  the  Chaldees  and  Damas- 
cus. 

Ge.  11—31  AndTerah  took  Abram 
his  son,  and  Lot  the  son  of  Haran 
his  son  s  .son,  and  Sarai  his  daugh- 
ter in  law,  his  son  Abram"s  wife ; 
and  they  went  foi-th  with  them 
from  Ur  of  the  Chaldees,  to  go 
into  the  land  of  Canaan. 

Is.  8—1  Moreover  the  Lord  said 
unto  me.  Take  thee  a  great  roll, 
and  write  in  it  with  a  man's  pen 
concerning  Maher-shalal-h  a  s  h- 
baz. 

2  And  I  took  unto  me  faithful 
witnesses  to  record,  Uriah  the 
priest,  and  Zechariah. 

3  And  I  went  unto  the  prophet- 
ess; and  she  conceived,  and  bare 
a  son.  Then  said  the  Lord  to  nie, 
Call  his  name  Maher-shalal-hash- 
baz. 

4  For  before  the  child  shall  have 
knowledge  to  cry.  My  father,  and 
my  mother,  the  riches  of  Damas- 
cus and  the  -spoil  of  Samaria  shall 
be  taken  away  before  the  king  of 
Assyria. 

Is.  17—1  The  burden  of  Damas- 
cus. Behold,  Damascus  is  taken 
away  from  being  a  city,  and  it 
shall  be  a  ruinous  heap. 

3  The  fortress  also  shall  cease 
from  Ephraim,  and  the  kingdom 
from  Damascus,  and  the  remnant 
of  Syria, 

Je.  49—23  Concernmg  Damascus. 
Hamath  is  confounded,  and  Ar- 
pad;  for  they  have  heard  evil  tid- 
ings ;  they  are  fainthearted ;  there 
is  sorrow  on  the  sea ;  it  cannot  be 
quiet. 

24  Damascus  is  waxed  feeble, 
and  turneth  herself  to  flee,. ana 
fear  hath  seized  on  her.  -  ;■   i 

26  Therefore  her  young  men 
shall  fall  in  her  streets,  and  all 
the  men  of  war  shall  be  cut  off. 

27  And  I  will  kindle  a  tire  in  the 
wall  of  Dama.scus,  and  it  shall  con- 
sume the  palaces  of  Ben-hadad.

Lot  entertains  two  angels.  De- 
struction of  Sodom,  Gomorrah, 
Admah,  and  Zeboim.  Lot,  his 
wife,  and  his  two  daughters. 

Ge.  19—1  And  there  came  two 
angels  to  Sodom  at  even ;  and  Lot 
sat  in  the  gate  of  Sodom :  and  Lot 
seeing  them  rose  up  to  meet  them ; 
and  he  bowed  himself  with  his 
face  toward  the  gromid ; 

2  And  he  said.  Behold  now,  my 
lords,  turn  in,  1  pray  you,  into 
your  servant's  house,  and  tarry  all 
night,  and  wash  yovir  feet,  and  ye 
shall  rise  up  early,  and  go  on  yoiir 
ways.  And  they  said.  Nay:  but 
we  will  abide  in  the  street  all 
night. 

3  And  he  pressed  upon  them 
greatly;  and  they  entered  into 
nis house;  and  he  made  them  a 
feast,  and  did  bake  unleavened 
bread,  and  they  did  eat, 

411  But  before  they  lay  down, 
the  men  of  the  city,  even  the  men 
of  Sodom,  compassed  the  house 
round,  both  old  and  yovmg,  all 
the  people  from  every  quarter : 

5  And  they  called  mito  Lot,  and 
said  unto  him.  Where  are  the  men 
which  came  in  to  thee  thisnight? 
bring  them  out  xmto  us,  that  we 
may  know  them. 

6  And  Lot  went  out  at  the  door 
unto  them,  and  shut  the  door 
after  him, 

7  And  said,  I  pray  you,  brethren, 
do  not  so  wickedly. 

8  Behold  now,  I  have  two 
daughters  which  have  not  known 
man;  let  me,  I  pray  you,  bring 
them  out  unto  you,  and  do  ye  to 
them  as  is  good  m  your  eyes:  only 
unto  these  men  do  nothing;  for 
therefore  came  they  vmder  the 
shadow  of  my  roof. 

9  And  they  said.  Stand  back. 
And  they  said  again.  This  one 
fellow  came  in  to  sojourn,  and  he 
will  needs  be  a  judge:  now  will 
we  deal  worse  with  thee  than 
with  them.  Ajid  they  pressed  sore 
upon  the  man,  even  Lot,  and  came 
near  to  break  the  door. 

10  But  the  men  put  forth  their 
hand,  and  pulled  Lot  into  the 
house,  and  snut  the  door. 

11  And  they  smote  the  men  that 
were  at  the  door  of  the  house  with 
blindness,  both  small  and  great: 
so  that  they  wearied  themselves 
to  find  the  door. 

12  IF  And  the  men  said  unto  Lot, 


Hast  thou  here  any  besides?  son 
in  law,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy 
daughters,  and  whatsoever  thoii 
hast  in  the  city,  bring  them  out, 

13  For  we  will  destroy  this  place, 
because  the  cry  of  them  is  waxen 
great  before  the  face  of  the  Lord  ; 
and  the  Loed  hath  sent  us  to  de- 
stroy it. 

14  And  Lot  went  out,  and  spake 
unto  his  sons  in  law,  which  mar- 
ried his  daughters,  and  said.  Up, 

£et  you  out  of  this  place ;  for  the 
ORD  will  destroy  this  city.  But 
he  .seemed  as  one  that  mocked 
ixnto  his  sons  in  law. 

15  f  And  when  the  momuig 
arose,  then  the  angels  hastened 
Lot,  saying.  Arise,  take  thy  wife. 
and  thy  two  daughters,  which  are 
here;  lest  thou  be  consumed  in 
the  iniquity  of  the  city. 

16  And  while  he  lingered,  the 
men  laid  hold  upon  his  band,  and 
upon  the  hand  of  his  wife,  and 
upon  the  hand  of  his  two  daugh- 
ters; the  Lord  being  merciful 
unto  him :  and  they  brought  him 
forth,  and  set  him  without  the 
city. 

17  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  had  brought  them  forth 
abroad,  that  he  said.  Escape  for 
thy  life;  look  not  behind  thee, 
neither  stay  thou  in  all  the  plain ; 
escape  to  the  mountain,  lest  thou 
be  consumed. 

18  And  Lot  said  unto  them.  Oh, 
not  so,  my  Lord : 

19  Behold  now,  thy  servant  hath 
found  grace  in  thy  sight,  and  thou 
hast  magnified  thy  mercy,  which 
thou  hast  shewed  unto  me  in  sav- 
mg  my  life;  and  I  cannot  escape 
to  the  movuitain,  lest  some  evil 
take  me,  and  I  die: 

20  Behold  now,  this  city  is  near 
to  tiee  unto,  and  it  is  a  little  one: 
O,  let  me  escape  thither,  (is  it  not 
a  little  one?)  and  my  soul  shall 
live. 

21  And  he  said  unto  him.  See, 
I  have  accepted  thee  concerning 
this  thing  also,  that  I  will  not 
overthrow  this  city,  for  the  which 
thou  hast  spoken. 

22  Haste  thee,  escape  hither; 
for  I  cannot  do  any  thing  till  thou 
be  come  thither.  Therefore  the 
name  of  the  city  was  called 
Zoar. 

23  IT  The  sun  was  risen  upon  the 
earth  when  Lot  entered  into 
Zoar. 


41 


24  Then  the  Lord  rained  upon 
Sodom  and  upon  Gomorrah  brim- 
stone and  tire  from  the  Lord  out 
of  heaven ; 

25  And  he  overthrew  those 
cities,  and  all  the  plain,  and  all 
the  inhabitants  of  the  cities,  and 
that  which  grew  upon  the  ground. 

26  f  But  his  wite  looked  back 
from  behind  him,  and  she  became 
a  pillar  of  salt. 

(Lu.  17—32  Remember  Lot's 
wife.) 

27  If  And  Abraham  gat  up  early 
in  the  morning  to  the  place  where 
he  stood  before  the  Lord: 

28  And  he  looked  toward  Sodom 
and  Gomonah,  and  toward  all  the 
landof  the  plain,  and  beheld,  and, 
lo,  the  smoke  of  the  country  went 
up  as  the  smoke  of  a  furnace. 

29  If  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
God  destroyed  the  cities  of  the 
plain,  that  God  remembered 
Abraham,  and  sent  Lot  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  overthrow,  when  he 
overthrew  the  cities  in  the  which 
Lot  dwelt. 

30  If  And  Lot  went  up  out  of 
Zoar,  and  dwelt  in  the  mountain, 
and  his  two  daughters  with  him ; 
for  he  feared  to  dwell  in  Zoar: 
and  he  dwelt  in  a  cave,  he  and 
his  two  daughters. 

31  And  the  firstborn  said  unto 
the  younger.  Our  father  is  old, 
and  there  is  not  a  man  in  the 
earth  to  come  in  luito  us  after  the 
manner  of  all  the  earth : 

32  Come,  let  us  make  our  father 
drink  wine,  and  we  will  lie  with 
him.  that  we  may  preserve  seed 
of  our  father. 

33  And  they  made  their  father 
drink  wine  that  night:  and  the 
firstborn  went  in,  and  lay  with 
her  father ;  and  he  perceived  not 
when  she  lay  down,  nor  when  she 
arose. 

34  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
morrow,  that  the  firstborn  said 
unto  the  younger.  Behold.  I  lay 
yesternight  with  my  father:  let 
us  make  him  drink  wine  this 
night  also;  and  go  thou  in.  and 
lie  with  hiiii,  that  we  may  pre- 
serve seed  of  our  father. 

45  And  they  made  their  father 
drink  wine  that  night  also:  and 
the  yoimger  arose,  and  lay  with 
him ;  and  he  perceived  not  when 
she  lay  do^vn,  nor  when  she 
arose. 

36  Thus  were  both  the  daughters 


of  Lot  with  child  by  their  father. 

37  And  the  firstborn  bare  a  son. 
and  called  his  name  Moab:  the 
same  is  the  father  of  the  Moab- 
ites  unto  this  day. 

38  And  the  younger,  she  also 
bare  a  son.  and  called  his  name 
Ben-ammi :  the  same  is  the  father 
of  the  children  of  Amnion  unto 
this  day. 

De.  29—23  And  that  the  whole 
laud  thereof  is  brimstone,  and 
salt,  and  burning,  that  it  is  not 
sown,  nor  bearetli,  nor  any  grass 
groweth  therein,  like  the  over- 
throw of  Sodom  and  Gomorrah, 
Adinah  and  Zeboim,  which  the 
Lord  overthrew  in  his  anger,  and 
in  his  wrath : 

Jude  1—7  Even  as  Sodom  and 
Gomorrah,  and  the  cities  about 
them  in  like  mamier.  giving 
themselves  over  to  fornication, 
and  going  after  strange  flesh,  are 
set  forth  for  an  example,  suffering 
the  vengeance  of  eternal  tire. 

Hebron,  in  the  land  of  Canaan, 
the  Promised  Laud  (Ge.  12  and  13, 
p.  148,  149);  where  Abraham. 
Isaac,  and  Jacob  sojom-ned,  and 
where  they  and  their  wives  were 
buried  in  the  cave  of  JVIachpelah ; 
and  after  tlie  return  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  from  Egypt  to  the 
Promised  Land,  Hebron  was  given 
to  Caleb.  Jos.  14.  6-15  and  1  Ki.  2. 
11,  p.  365. 

Ge.  23—1  And  Sarah  was  a  hun- 
dred and  seven  and  twenty  years 
old :  these  were  the  years  of  the 
life  of  Sarah. 

2  And  Sarah  died  in  Kirjath- 
arba;  the  same  is  Hebron  in  the 
land  of  Canaan:  and  Abraham 
came  to  mourn  for  Sarah,  and  to 
weep  for  her. 

3  if  And  Abraham  stood  up  from 
before  his  dead,  and  spake  unto 
the  sons  of  Heth,  saying, 

4  I  am  a  stranger  and  a  sojourn- 
er with  you:  give  me  a  possession 
of  a  buryingplace  with  you,  that 
I  may  bury  my  dead  out  of  my 
sight. 

5  And  the  children  of  Heth  an- 
swered Abraham,  saying, 

6  Hear  us.  my  lord;  thou  art 
a  mighty  prince  among  us:  in  the 
choice  of  our  sepulchres  bury  thy 
dead;  none  of  us  shall  withhold 
from  thee  his  sepulchre,  but  that 
thou  mayest  bury  thy  dead. 


42 


7  And  Abraham  stood  wp,  and 
"bowed  himself  to  the  people  of  the 
land,  even  to  the  children  of  Heth. 

8  And  he  communed  with  them, 
saying,  If  it  be  your  mind  that  I 
should  bui-y  my  dead  out  of  niy 
sight,  entreat  for  me  to  Ephron, 

9  That  he  may  give  me  the  cave 
of  Machpelah,  which  he  hath, 
which  is  in  the  end  of  his  field ; 
for  as  much  money  as  it  is  worth 
he  shall  give  it  me  for  a  possession 
of  a  buryingplace  amongst  you. 

10  And  Ephi-on  the  Hittite  an- 
swered Abraham  in  the  andieuce 
of  the  children  of  Heth,  even  of 
all  that  went  in  at  the  gate  of  his 
city,  saying, 

11  Nay,  my  lord,  hear  me:  the 
field  give  I  thee,  and  the  cave  that 
is  therein,  I  give  it  thee;  in  the 
presence  of  the  sons  of  my  people 
give  I  it  thee:  bm-y  thy  dead. 

12  And  Abraham  bowed  down 
himself  before  the  people. 

13  And  he  spake  imto  Ephron 
saying.  But  if  thou  wilt  give  it,  I 
pray  thee,  hear  me:  I  will  give 
thee  money  fo«  the  field;  and  I 
will  bury  my  dead  there. 

14  And  Ephron  answered  Abra- 
ham, saying  unto  him, 

15  My  lord,  hearken  unto  me: 
the  land  is  worth  four  hundred 
shekels  of  silver;  what  is  that 
betwixt  me  and  thee?  bury  there- 
fore thy  dead. 

16  And  Abraham  hearkened  un- 
to Ephron ;  and  Abraham  weighed 
to  Ephron  the  silver,  which  he  had 
named  in  the  audience  of  the  sons 
of  Heth,  four-  hundred  shekels  of 
silvei',  current  money  with  the 
merchant. 

19  And  after  this,  Abraham  biir- 
ied  Sarah  his  wife  in  the  cave  of 
the  field  of  Machpelah  before 
Mamre:  the  same  is  Hebron  in 
the  laud  of  Canaan. 

Ge.  25—1  Then  again  Abraham 
took  a  wife,  and  ner  name  was 
Keturah. 

2  And  she  bare  him  Zimran,  and 
Jokshan,aud  Medan,  andMidian, 
and  Ishbak,  and  Shuah. 

5  And  Abraham  gave  all  that 
he  had  unto  Isaac. 

6  But  unto  the  sons  of  the  con- 
cubines, which  Abraham  had, 
Abraham  gave  gifts,  and  sent 
them  away  from  Isaac  his  son, 
while  he  yet  lived,  eastward,  mito 
the  east  country. 

7  And  these  are   the  years  of 


Abraham's  life,  a  hundred  three- 
score and  fifteen  years. 

8  Then  Abraham  gave  up  the 
ghost,  and  died  in  a  good  old  age, 
an  old  man,  and  full  of  years; 
and  was  gathered  to  his  people. 

9  And  his  sons  Isaac  and  Ish- 
mael  buried  him  in  .the  cave  of 
Machpelah. 

Ge.  35—27  And  Jacob  came  unto 
Isaac  his  father  unto  Mamre,  unto 
the  city  of  Arba,  which  is  Hebron, 
where  Abraham  and  Isaac  so- 
journed. 

28  And  the  days  of  Isaac  were  a 
hundred  and  fom-score  years. 

29  And  Isaac  gave  up  the  ghost, 
and  died,  and  was  gathered  unto 
his  people:  and  his  sons  Esau  and 
Jacob  buried  him. 

Ge.  47—28  And  Jacob  lived  in 
the  land  of  Egypt  seventeen  years: 
so  the  whole  age  of  Jacob  was  a 
hundred  forty  and  seven  years. 

29  And  the  time  drew  nigh  that 
Israel  must  die:  and  he  called  his 
son  Joseph,  and  said  unto  him, 
bury  me  not,  I  pray  thee  in  Egypt: 
But  I  will  lie  with  my  fathers, 

Ge.  49—30  In  the  cave  of  Mach- 
pelah, in  the  land  of  Canaan. 

31  Ihere  they  buried  Abraham 
and  Sarah  his  wife;  there  they 
bru-ied  Isaac  and  Rebekah  his

Jos.  14—13  Joshua  blessed  him,

14  Hebron  therefore  became  the 
inheritance  of  Caleb;  because  that 
he  wholly  followed  the  Lord  God 
of  Israel. 

Bethlehem.  See  also  Matt.  2.  1

Ge.  35—16  And  they  journeyed 
from  Bethel:  and  Rachel  tra- 
vailed, and  she  had  hard  labour. 

17  And  when  she  was  in  hard 
labour,  the  midwife  said  unto 
her.  Fear  not ;  thou  shaft  have  this 
son  also. 

18  And  as  her  soul  was  in  depart- 
ing, (for  she  died,)  she  called  his 
name  Ben-oni:  but  his  father 
called  him  Benjamin. 

19  And  Rachel  died,  and  was 
buried  in  the  way  to  Ephrath, 
which  is  Beth-lehem. 

20  And  Jacob  set  a  pillar  upon 
her  grave:  that  is  the  pillar  of 
Rachel's  grave  unto  this  day.

Rii.  1—22  Naomi  and  Ruth  the 
Moabitess,  her  daughter  iu  law, 
returned  out  of  the  country  of 
Moab:  and  came  to  Beth-lehem. 

Ru.  4—13  So  Boaz  took  Ruth,  and 
she  was  his  wife :  and  she  bare  a 
sou. 

17  And  they  called  his  name 
Obed:  he  is  the  father  of  Jesse, 
the  father  of  David. 

1  Sa.  17—12  Now  David  was  the 
son  of  that  Ephrathite  of  Beth- 
iehem-judah,  whose  name  was 
Jesse^  and  he  had  eight  sons: 
And  David  was  the  youngest. 

1  Chr.  2—13  And  Jesse  begat  his 
firstborn  Eliab,  Abiiiadab  the 
second,  and  Shimma  the  third, 

14  Nethaneel  the  fourth,  Raddai 
the  fifth,  _     .  ,     ,

seventh:  . 

16  Whose  sisters  were  Zeruiah, 
and  Abigail.  And  the  sons  of 
Zeruiah;  Abishai,  and  Joab,  and 
A.sahel,  three. 

17  And    Abigail   bare    Amasa. 


(David's  sons,  see  1  Chr.  3.) 

I  Sa.  IG— 1  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Samuel.  How  long  wilt  thou 
mourn  for  Saul,  seeing  I  have  re- 
jected him  from  reigning  over 
Israel?  fill  thine  horn  with  oil,  and 

fo  to  Jes.se  the  Beth-lehemite :  for 
have  provided  me  a  king  among 
his  sons.  .  ,  .  , 

4  And  Samuel  did  that  which 
the  Lord  spake,  and  came  to 
Beth-lehem. 

10  Again,  Jesse  made  seven  of 
his  sons  to  pass  before  Samuel. 
And  Samuel  said  luito  Jesse,  The 
Lord  hath  not  chosen  these. 

II  And  Samuel  said  mito  Jesse, 
Are  here  all  thy  children?  And 
he  said.  There  remaineth  yet  the 
youngest,  and,  behold, he  keepeth 
the  sheep.  And  Samuel  said  unto 
Jesse,  Send  and  fetch  him. 

12  And  he  sent,  and  brought  him 
in.  Now  he  was  niddy,  and  of  a 
beautiful  countenance,  and  goodly 
to  look  to.  And  the  Lord  said. 
Arise,  anoint  him :  for  this  is  he. 

13  Then  Samuel  took  the  hona 
of  oil,  and  anointed  him  in  the 
midst  of  his  brethi-en:  and  the 
Spirit  of  the  Lord  came  upon 
David  from  that  day  forward. 

Jericho,  Tyre  or  Tyrus.

days?  her  own  feet  shall  carry 
her  afar  off  to  sojourn. 

8  AVho  hath  taken  this  counsel 
against  Tyre,  the  cro\vning_  city,

able of  the  earth? 

11  He  stretched  out  his  hand 
over  the  sea,  he  shook  the  king- 
doms: the  Lord  hath  given  a 
commandment  against  the  mer- 
chant city,  to  destroy  the  strong 
holds  thereof. 

14  Howl,  ye  ships  of  Tarshish: 
for  your  strength  is  laid  waste. 

15  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  Tyre  shall  be  for- 
gotten seventy  years,  according 
to  the  days  of  one  king:  after  the 
end  of  seventy  years  .shall  Tyre 
sing  as  a  harlot.

be  strong  in  the  Lord.

against  the  wiles  of  the  devil. 

12  For  we  wrestle  not  against 
flesh  and  blood,  but  against  prm- 
cipalities,  against  powers,  against 
the  rulers  of  the  darkness  of  this 
world,  against  spiritual  wicked- 
ness in  high  places. 

13  Wherefore  take  mito  you  the 
whole  armom'of  God,  that  ye  mav

eousness ; 

15  And  your  feet  shod  with  the

16  Above  all,  taking  the  shield 
of  faith,  wherewith  ye  shall  be 
able  to  quench  all  the  fiery  darts 
of  the  wicked.

COMMUNION. 

1  Co.  10—15  I  speak  as  to  wise 
men;  judge  ye  what  I  say. 

16  The  cup  of  blessing  which  we 
bless,  is  it  not  the  communion  of 


the  blood  of  Christ?  The  bread 
which  we  break,  is  it  not  the  com- 
munion of  the  body  of  Christ? 

17  For  we  being  many  are  one 
bread,  and  one  body:  for  we  are 
all  partakers  of  that  one  bread. 

21  Ye  camiot  drink  the  cup  of 
the  Lord,  and  the  cujp  of  devils: 
ye  cannot  be  partakers  of  the 
Lord's  table,  and  of  the  table  of 
devils  

1  Co.  11—17  Now  in  this  that  I 
declare  imto  you  I  praise  you  not, 
that  ye  come  together  not  for  the 
better,  but  for  the  worse. 

18  For  first  of  all,  when  ye  come 
together  in  the  church,  I  hear  that 
there  be  divisions  among  you; 
and  I  partly  believe  it. 

19  For  there  must  be  also  here- 
sies among  you,  that  they  which 
are  approved  may  be  made  mani- 
fest among  you. 

20  When  ye  come  together  there- 
fore into  one  place,  this  is  not  to 
eat  the  Lord's  supper. 

21  For  in  eating  every  one  tak- 
eth  before  other  his  own  supper: 
and  one  is  hungry,  and  another  is 
drunken. 

22  What!  have  je  not  houses  to 
eat  and  to  drink  m?  or  despise  ye 
the  church  of  God,  and  shame 
them  that  have  not?  What  shall  I 
say  to  you?  shall  I  praise  you  in 
this?    I  praise  you  not. 

23  For  I  have  received  of  the 
Lord  that  which  also  I  delivered 
unto  you,  That  the  Lord  Jesus,  the 
same  night  in  which  he  was  be- 
trayed, took  bread: 

24  And  when  he  had  given 
thanks,  he  brake  it,  and  said. 
Take,  eat ;  this  is  my  body,  which 
is  broken  for  you:  this  ao  in  re- 
membrance of  me. 

25  After  the  same  manner  also 
he  took  the  cua  when  he  had 
supped,  saying.  This  cup  is  the 
new  testament  in  my  blood:  this 
do  ye,  as  oft  as  ye  drink  it,  in 
remembrance  of  me. 

26  For  as  often  as  ye  eat  this 
bread,  and  drink  this  cup,  ye  do 
shew  the  Lord's  death  till  he 
come. 

27  Wlierefore  whosoever  shall 
eat  this  bread,  and  drink  this 
cup  of  the  Lord,  unworthily,  shall 
be  guilty  of  the  body  and  blood 
of  the  Lord. 

28  But  let  a  man  examine  him- 
self, and  so  let  him  eat  of  that 
bread,  and  drink  of  that  cup. 


45 


29  For  he  that  eateth  and  drink- 
eth  unworthily,  eateth  and  drink- 
eth  damnation  to  himself,  not  dis- 
cerning the  Lord's  body. 

30  For  this  cause  many  are  weak 
and  sickly  among  you.  and  many 
sleep. 

31  For  if  we  would  judge  our- 
selves, we  should  not  be  judged. 

32  But  when  we  are  judged,  we 
are  chastened  of  the  Lord,  that  we 
should  not  be  condemned  with 
the  world. 

33  Wherefore,  my  brethren,when 
ye  come  together  to  eat,  tarry  one 
lor  another. 

34  And  if  any  man  hunger,  let 
him  eat  at  home;  that  ye  come 
not  together  unto  condemnation. 
And  the  rest  will  I  set  in  order 
when  I  come.  

The  Ten  Commandments;  the 
tables  of  stone  on  which  the  Ten 
Commandments  were  written  by 
the  finger  of  God ;  Aaron  and  the 
golden  calf,  at  the  sight  of  which 
Mo.ses  became  angry  and  cast  the 
tables  of  stone  out  of  his  hands 
and  brake  them.  And  God's  anger 
was  so  great  that  he  caused  the 
children  of  Levi  to  kill  three  thou- 
sand of  their  brotliers.  The  tables 
of  stone  are  renewed,  and,  when 
Moses  came  down  from  the  moun- 
tain with  them,  his  face  shone  so 
brightly  that  Aaron  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  were  afraid  of  him. 
So  Moses  covered  his  face  with  a 
veil.  The  ark  of  the  covenant  in 
which  the  tables  of  stone  were  to 
be  kept.  Moses  repeats  the  Ten 
Commandments  to  the  people. 
See  De.  5. 

Ex.  19—1  In  the  third  month, 
when  the  children  of  Israel  were 
gone  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  the  same  day  came  they 
into  the  wilderness  of  Sinai. 

2.  And  there  Israel  camped  be- 
fore the  momit. 

3  And  Moses  went  up  unto  God, 
and  the  Lord  called  unto  him  out 
of  the  mountain,saying,Thus  shalt 
thou  say  to  the  house  of  Jacob, 
and  tell  the  children  of  Israel ; 

4  Ye  have  seen  what  I  did  unto 
the  Egyptians,  and  how  I  bare  yo  u 


on  eagles  wings,  and  brought  you 
unto  myself. 

5  Now  therefore,  if  ye  will  obey 
my  voice  indeed,  and  keep  my  cov- 
enant, then  ye  shall  be  a  peculiar 
treasure  unto  me  above  all  people : 
for  all  the  earth  is  mine: 

6  And  ye  shall  be  unto  me  a 
kingdom  of  priests,  and  a  holy 
nation. 

7  And  Moses  came  and  called  for 
the  elders  of  the  people,  and  laid 
before  their  faces  all  these  words. 

8  And  all  the  people  answered 
together,  and  said,  All  that  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  we  will  do. 
And  Moses  returned  the  words  of 
the  people  unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Lo,  I  come  unto  thee  in  a  thick 
cloud,  tliat  the  people  may  hear 
when  I  speak  with  thee,  and  be- 
lieve thee  for  ever. 

10  Go  unto  the  people,  and  sanc- 
tify them  to  day  and  to  morrow, 
and  let  them  wash  their  clothes. 

11  And  be  ready  against  the  third 
day:  for  the  third  day  the  Lord 
will  come  down  in  the  sight  of  all 
the  people  upon  mount  Sinai. 

12  And  thou  shalt  set  bounds 
unto  the  people  round  about,  say- 
ing,Take  heed  to  yourselves,  that 
ye  go  not  up  into  the  mount,  or 
touch  the  border  of  it :  whosoever 
toucheth  the  mount  shall  be 
surely  put  to  death: 

13  There  shall  not  a  hand  touch 
it,  but  he  shall  surely  be  stoned,  or 
shot  through :  whether  it  be  beast 
or  man,  it  sliall  not  live:  when  the 
trumpet  soundeth  long,  they  shajl 
come  up  to  the  mount. 

14  And  Moses  went  down  from 
the  mount  unto  the  people,  and 
sanctified  the  people;  and  they 
washed  their  clothes. 

16  And  it  came  to  pa.ss  on  the 
third  day  in  the  nioniing,  that 
there  were  thunders  and  light- 
nings, and  a  thick  cloud  upon  the 
mount,  and  the  voice  of  the  trum- 
pet exceeding  loud ;  so  that  all  the 
people  that  was  in  the  camp  trem- 

17  And  Moses  brought  forth  the 
people  out  of  the  camp  to  meet 
with  God ;  and  they  stood  at  the 
nether  part  of  the  mount. 


46 


18  And  moTxnt  Sinai  was  alto- 
gether ou  a  smoke,  because  the 
Lord  descended  upon  it  in  fire : 
and  tlie  smoke  thereof  ascended 
as  the  smoke  of  a  furnace,  and 
the  whole  mount  quaked  greatly. 

19  And  when  the  voice  of  the 
trumpet  sounded  long,  and  waxed 
louder  and  louder,  Moses  spake, 
and  God  answered  him  by  a  voice. 

20  And  the  Lord  came  down 
upon  mount  Sinai,  on  the  top  of 
the  mount : 

21  And  said  unto  Moses,  Go 
down,  charge  the  people,  lest  they 
break  through  unto  the  Lokd  to 
gaze,  and  many  of  them  perish. 

22  And  let  the  priests  also,  which 
come  near  to  the  Lord,  sanctify 
themselves,  lest  the  Lord  break 
forth  upon  them.  And  thou  shalt 
come  up,  thou,  and  Aaron  with 
thee. 

25  So  Moses  went  down  unto  the 
people,  and  spake  unto  them. 

Ex.  20—1  And  God  spake  all 
these  words,  saying, 

2  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  which 
have  brought  thee  out  of  the  land 
of  Egypt,  out  of  the  house  of 
bondage. 

3  Thou  shalt  have  no  other  gods 
before  me. 

4  Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee 
any  graven  image,  or  any  likeness 
of  any  thing  that  is  in  heaven 
above,  or  that  is  in  the  earth  be- 
neath, or  that  is  in  the  water 
under  the  earth : 

5  Thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thy- 
self to  them,  nor  serve  them:  for 
I  the  Lord  tliy  God  am  a  jealous 
God,  visiting  the  iniquity  of  the 
fathers  upon  the  children  unto 
the  third  and  fourth  generation 
of  them  that  hate  me ; 

6  And  shewing  mercy  unto  thou- 
sands of  them  that  love  me,  and 
keep  mv  commandments. 

7  Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name 
of  the  Lord  thy  God  in  vain :  for 
the  Lord  will  not  hold  him  guilt- 
less that  taketh  his  name  in  vain. 

8  Remember  the  sabbath  day,  to 
keep  it  holv. 

9  Six  davs  shalt  thou  labour, 
and  do  all  tliy  work : 

10  But  the  seventh  day  is  the 
sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy  God :  in 
it  tliou  shalt  not  do  any  work, 
thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy  daugh- 
ter, thy  manservant,  nor  thy  maid- 
servant, nor  thy  cattle,  nor  thy 
stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates: 


11  For  in  six  days  the  Lord 
made  heaven  and  earth,  the  sea, 
and  all  that  in  them  is,  and  rested 
the  seventh  day:  wherefore  the 
Lord  blessed  the  sabbath  day. 
and  hallowed  it. 

12  IT  Honour  thy  father  and  thy 
mother:  that  thy  days  may  be 
long  upon  the  land  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

13  Thou  Shalt  not  kill. 

14  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adul- 
tery. 

15  Thou  shalt  not  steal. 

16  Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  wit- 
ness against  thy  neighboiir. 

17  Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy 
neighbour's  house,  thou  shalt  not 
covet  thy  neighbour's  wife,  nor 
his  manservant,  nor  his  maidser- 
vant, nor  his  ox,  nor  his  ass,  nor 
any  thing  tliat  is  thyneighbom-'s. 

18  IT  And  all  the  people  saw  the 
thtmderings,  and  the  lightnings, 
and  the  noi.se  of  the  trumpet,  and 
the motmtain smoking:  and  when 
the  people  saw  it,  they  removed, 
and  stood  afar  off. 

19  And  they  said  unto  Moses, 
Speak  thou  with  us,  and  we  will 
hear:  but  let  not  God  speak  with 
us,  lest  we  die. 

20  And  Moses  said  unto  the  peo- 
ple. Fear  not:  for  God  is  come  to 
prove  you,  and  that  his  fear  may 
be  before  your  faces,  that  ye  sin 
not. 

21  And  the  people  stood  afar  off, 
and  Moses  drew  near  unto  the 
thick  darkness  where  God  was. 

22  IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Thus  thou  shalt  say  unto 
the  children  of  Israel,  Ye  have 
seen  that  I  have  talked  with  you 
from  heaven. 

23  Ye  shall  not  make  with  me 
gods  of  silver,  neither  shall  ye 
make  unto  you  gods  of  gold. 

Ex.  24—12  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Moses,  Come  up  to  me  into 
the  mount,  and  be  there:  and  I 
will  give  thee  tables  of  stone, 
and  a  law,  and  commandments 
which  I  have  written ;  that  thou 
mayest  teach  them. 

13  And  Moses  rose  up,  and  his 
minister  Joshua ;  and  Moses  went 
up  into  the  mount  of  God. 

14  And  he  said  unto  the  elders, 
Tan-y  ye  here  for  us,  until  we 
come  again  unto  you:  and,  be- 
hold, Aaron  and  Hur  are  with 
you :  if  an j;  man  have  any  matters 
to  do,  let  him  come  unto  them. 


15  And  Moses  went  up  into  the 
moiint,  and  a  cloud  covered  the 
mount. 

16  And  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
abode  upon  mount  Shiai,  and  the 
cloud  covered  it  six  days:  and  the 
seventh  day  he  called  unto  Moses 
out  of  the  midst  of  the  cloud. 

17  And  the  sight  of  the  gloiT  of 
the  Lord  was  like  devouring  tire 
on  the  top  of  the  mount  in  the 
eyes  of  the  childi-en  of  Israel. 

18  And  Moses  went  into  the 
midst  of  the  cloud,  and  was  in  the 
mount  forty  days  and  forty  nights. 

Ex.  31—18  And  he  gave  mito 
Moses,  when  he  had  made  an  end 
of  communing  with  him  upon 
mount  Sinai,  two  tables  of  testi- 
mony, tables  of  stone,  written 
the  finger  of  God. 

Aaron  and  the  Golden  Calf. 

Ex.  32—1  And  when  the  people 
saw  that  Moses  delayed  to  come 
dowTi  out  of  the  momit,  the  people 
gathered  themselves  together 
unto  Aaron,  and  said  unto  hmi, 
Up,  make  us  gods,  which  shall  go 
before  us;  for  as  for  this  Moses, 
the  man  that  brought  us  up  out 
of  the  land  of  EgyiJt,  we  wot  not 
what  is  become  of  him. 

2  And  Aaron  said.  Break  ofif  the 
golden  earrings  which  are  in  the 
ears  of  your  wives,  of  your  .sons, 
and  of  your  daughters,  and  bring 
them  unto  me. 

3  And  all  the  people  brake  off 
the  golden  earrings,  and  brought 
them  unto  Aaron. 

4  And  he  received  them,  and 
fashioned  it  with  a  graving  tool, 
after  he  had  made  it  a  molten 
calf:  and  they  said.  These  be  thy 
gods,  O  Israel,  which  lirought  thee 
up  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt. 

(Ps.  106—19  They  made  a  calf  in 
Horeb,  and  worshipped  the  mol- 
ten image.) 

5  And  Aaron  built  an  altar  be- 
fore it,  and  said.  To  morrow  is  a 
feast  to  the  Lord. 

6  And  they  rose  up  early  on  the 
morrow,  and  offered  burnt  offer- 
ings, and  brought  peace  offerings ; 
and  the  people  sat  down  to  eat  and 
to  drink,  and  rose  up  to  play. 

7  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Go,  get  thee  down;  for 
thy  people,  which  thou  brought- 
est  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  have 
corrupted  themselves: 


47  0 

8  They  have  turned  aside  quick- 
ly oiit  of  the  way  which  I  com- 
manded them:  they  have  made 
a  molten  calf,  and  worshipped  it. 
and  sacrificed  there vuito,  and  said, 
These  be  thy  gods,  O  Israel,  which 
have  brought  thee  up  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt,    p.  234. 

15  H  And  Moses  turned,  and  went 
down  from  the  mount,  and  the 
two  tables  of  the  testimony  wei-e 
in  his  hand :  the  tables  were  writ- 
ten on  both  their  sides;  on  the 
one  side  and  on  the  other  were 
they  wi-itten. 

16  And  the  tables  were  the  work 
of  God,  and  the  writing  was  the 
writing  of  God,  graven  upon  the 
tables,    p.  21.5. 

19  IF  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  he  came  nigh  unto  the  camp, 
that  he  saw  the  calf,  and  the  dan- 
cing: and  Moses'  anger  waxed 
hot,  and  he  cast  the  tables  out  of 
his  hands,  and  brake  them  be- 
neath the  moiint. 

20  And  he  took  the  calf  which 
they  had  made,  and  bunat  it  in 
the  fire,  and  ground  it  to  powder, 
and  strewed  it  upon  the  water, 
and  made  the  children  of  Israel 
drink  of  it. 

26  Then  Moses  stood  in  the  gate 
of  the  camp,  and  said.  Who  is  on 
the  Lord's  side?  let  him  come 
imto  me.  And  all  the  sons  of 
Levi  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether unto  him 

27  And  he  said  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  Put 
every  man  his  sword  by  his  side, 
and  go  in  and  out  from  gate  to 
gate  throughout  the  camp,  and 
slay  every  man  his  brother,  and 
every  man  his  companion,  and 
every  man  his  neighbour. 

28  And  the  children  of  Levi  did 
according  to  the  word  of  Moses: 
and  there  fell  of  the  people  that 
day  about  tlu^ee  thousana  men. 

35  And  the  Lord  plagued  the 
people,  because  they  made  the 
calf,  which  Aaron  made. 

Ex.  34—1  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Moses,  Hew  thee  two  tables 
of  stone  like  unto  the  first:  and  I 
will  write  upon  these  tables  the- 
words  that  were  in  the  first  tables, 
which  thou  brakest. 

2  And  be  ready  in  the  morning, 
and  come  up  in  the  morning  unto 
mount  Sinai,  and  present  tnyself 
there  to  me  in  the  top  of  the 
momit. 


3  And  no  man  shall  come  up 
with  thee,  neither  let  any  man  be 
seen  throughout  all  the  mount; 
neither  let  the  flocks  nor  herds 
feed  before  that  mount. 

i  IT  And  he  hewed  two  tables  of 
stone  like  unto  the  first ;  and  Mo- 
ses rose  up  early  in  the  morning, 
and  went  up  uuto  mount  Sinai,  as 
the  Lord  had  commanded  him, 
and  took  in  his  hand  the  two 
tables  of  stone. 

5Aud  the  LoRB  descended  in  the 
cloud,  and  stood  with  him  there, 
and  proclaimed  the  name  of  the 
Lord. 

6  And  the  Lord  passed  by  before 
him,  and  proclaimed.  The  Lord, 
The  Lord  God,  merciful  and  gra- 
cious,longsufferiug  and  abundant 
in  goodness  and  truth, 

7  Keeping  mercy  for  thousands, 
forgiving  iniquity  and  transgres- 
sion and  sin,  and  that  will  by  no 
means  clear  the  guilty;  visiting 
the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon 
the  children,  and  upon  the  chil- 
dren's children,  unto  the  third 
and  to  the  fourth  generation. 

8  And  Moses  made  haste,  and 
bowed  his  head  toward  the  earth, 
and  worshipped. 

27  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses. Write  thou  these  words:  for 
after  the  tenor  of  these  words  I 
have  made  a  covenant  with  thee 
and  with  Israel. 

28  And  he  was  there  with  the 
Lord  forty  days  and  forty  nights ; 
he  did  neither  eat  bread.nor  drink 
water.  And  He  wrote  upon  the 
tables  the  words  of  the  covenant, 
the  ten  commandments.  I)e.9.9-18. 

29  IT  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Moses  came  down  from  mount  Si- 
nai with  tlie  two  tables  of  testi- 
monyinMoses'hand,  when  became 
down  from  the  mount,  that  Moses 
wist  not  that  the  skin  of  his  face 
shone  while  he  talked  with  him. 

30  And  when  Aaron  and  ajl  the 
children  of  Israel  saw  Moses,  be- 
hold, the  skiu  of  his  face  shone; 
and  they  were  afraid  to  come  nigh 
him. 

31  And  Moses  called  unto  them ; 
and  Aaron  and  all  the  rulers  of  the 
congregation  returned  unto  him: 
and  Moses  talked  with  them. 

32  And  afterward  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  came  nigh:  and  he 
gave  them  in  commandment  all 
that  the  Lord  had  spoken  with 
iiim  in  moimt  Sinai. 


48  C 

33  And  till  Moses  had  done 
speaking  with  them,  he  put  a  vail 
on  his  face. 

34  But  when  Moses  went  in  be- 
fore the  Lord  to  speak  with  him, 
he  took  the  vail  off,  until  he  came 
out.  And  he  came  out,  and  spake 
unto  the  children  of  Israel  that 
which  he  was  commanded. 

35  And  the  children  of  Israel  saw 
the  face  of  Moses,  that  the  skin  of 
Moses'  face  shone :  and  Moses  put 
the  vail  upon  his  face  again,  until 
he  went  in  to  speak  witli  Him. 

2  Co.  3—7  If  the  ministration  of 
death,  written  and  engraven  in 
stones,  was  glorious,  so  that  the 
children  of  Israel  could  not  stead- 
fastly behold  the  face  of  Moses  for 
the  glory  of  his  coimtenance; 
which  glory  was  to  be  done  away ; 

11  For  if  that  which  is  done  away 
was  glorious,  much  more  that 
which  remaineth  is  glorious. 

12  Seeing  then  that  we  have 
such  hope,  we  use  great  plainness 
of  speech : 

13  And  not  as  Moses,  which  put 
a  vail  over  his  face,  that  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  could  not  steadfast- 
ly look  to  the  end  of  that  which  is 
abolished : 

14  But  their  minds  were  blind- 
ed: for  until  this  day  remaineth 
the  same  vail  untaken  away  in  the 
reading  of  the  old  testament; 
which  vail  is  done  away  in  Christ. 

15  But  aven  \mto  this  day.when 
Moses  is  read,  the  vail  is  upon 
theu-  heart. 

16  Nevertheless,  when  it  shall 
turn  to  the  Lord,  the  vail  shall  be 
taken  away. 

De.  10—1  At  that  time  the  Lord 
said  unto  me.  Hew  thee  two  tables 
of  stone  like  unto  the  first,  and 
come  up  unto  me  into  the  mount, 
and  make  thee  an  ark  of  wood. 

2  And  I  will  write  on  the  tables 
the  words  that  were  in  the  first 
tables  which  thou  brakest,  and 
thou  shalt  put  them  in  the  ark. 

3  And  I  made  an  ark  of  shittim 
wood,  and  hewed  two  tables  of 
stone  like  unto  the  first,  and  went 
up  into  the  momit,  having  the  two 
tables  in  mine  hand. 

4  And  he  wrote  on  the  tables, 
according  to  the  first  writing,  the 
ten  commandments,  whicli  the 
Lord  spake  unto  you  in  the 
mount,  out  of  the  midst  of  the 
nre,  in  the  day  of  the  assenbly: 
and  the  Lord  gave  them  unto  me. 


49 


5  Aud  I  turned  myself  and  came 
down  from  the  mount,  and  put 
the  tables  in  the  ark  which  I  had 
made ;  and  there  they  be,  as  the 
LoKD  commanded  me. 


Ark  of  the  Covenant. 

Ex.  25—10  IT  And  they  shall  make 
an  ark  of  shittim  wood :  two  cubits 
and  a  half  shall  be  the  length 
thereof,  aud  a  cubit  and  a  half  the 
breadth  thereof,  aud  a  cubit  and 
a  half  the  height  thereof. 

11  And  thou  shalt  overlap  it 
■with  pui-e  gold,  within  and  with- 
out shalt  thou  overlay  it,  and 
shalt  make  upon  it  a  crown  of 
gold  round  about. 

12  And  thou  shalt  cast  four  rings 
of  gold  for  it,  aud  put  them  in  the 
four  corners;  a:"^!  two  rmgs  shall 
be  in  the  one  side  of  it.  and  two 
rings  in  the  other  side  of  it. 

13  Aud  thou  shalt  make  staves 
of  shittim  wood,  and  overlay  them 
with  gold. 

14  And  thou  shalt  put  the  staves 
into  the  rings  by  the  sides  of  the 
ark,  that  the  ark  may  be  borne 
with  them. 

15  The  staves  shall  be  in  the 
rings  of  the  ark:  they  shall  not 
be  taken  from  it. 

16  And  thou  shalt  put  into  the 
ark  the  testimony  which  I  shall 
give  thee. 

He.  9—1  And  the  ark  of  the  cov- 
enant overlaid  round  about  with 
gold,  wherein  was  the  golden  pot 
that  had  maiuia,  and  Aaron's  rod 
that  budded,  and  the  tables  of 
the  covenant. 

Pro.  13—13  Whoso  despiseth  the 
word  shall  be  destroyed:  but  he 
that  feareth  the  commandment 
shall  be  rewarded. 

Is.  48—18  O  that  thou  hadst 
hearkened  to  my  commandments! 
then  had  thy  peace  been  as  a 
river,  and  thy  righteousness  as 
the  waves  of  the  sea. 

Ec.8— 5  Whoso  keepeth  the  com- 
mandmentshall  feel  no  evil  thing : 
and  a  wise  man's  heart  discerneth 
both  time  and  judgment. 

Mat.  5—19  Whosoever  therefore 
shall  break  one  of  these  least 
commandments,  and  shall  teach 
men  so,  he  shall  be  called  the 
least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven: 
but  whosoever  shall  do  and  teach 
them,  the  same  shall  be  called 
great  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

Mat.  19—17   And  he   said  unto 


him.  Why  callest  thou  me  good? 
there  is  none  good  but  one,  that 
is,  God:  but  if  thou  wilt  enter 
intolife,keepthe  commandments. 
Mat.  22—35  Then  oue  of  them, 
which  was  a  lawyer,  asked  him  a^ 
guestion,  tempting  him,  and  say- 
ing, 

36  Master,  which  is  the  great 
commandment  in  the  law? 

37  Jesus  said  luito  him.  Thou 
shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with 
all  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy 
soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind. 

38  This  is  the  first  and  great 
commandment. 

39  And  the  second  is  like  unto 
it,  Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour 
as  tliyself. 

40  On  these  two  commandments 
hang  all  the  law  and  the  prophets. 

De.  6—5  And  thou  shalt  love  the 
Lord  thy  God  with  all  thine 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  aud 
with  all  thv  might. 

13  Thou  shalt  fear  the  Lord  thy 
God,  and  serve  him,  and  shalt 
swear  by  his  name. 

Le.  19—18  Thou  shalt  not 
avenge,  nor  bear  any  grudge 
against  the  children  of  thy  peo- 
ple, but  thou  shalt  love  thy  neigh- 
bour as  thyself :  I  am  the  Lord. 

Mar.  7—7  Howbeit  in  vain  do 
they  worship  me,  teaching  for  doc- 
trines the  commandments  of  men. 

8  For  laying  aside  the  com- 
mandment of  God,  ye  hold  the 
tradition  of  men,  as  the  washing 
of  pots  and  cups:  and  many  other 
such  like  ihings  ye  do. 

9  Full  well  ye  reject  the  com- 
mandment of  God,  that  ye  may 
keep  your  own  tradition. 

Juo.  12—49  The  Father  which 
sent  me,  he  gave  me  a  command- 
ment, what  I  should  say,  and 
what  I  should  speak. 

50  And  I  know  that  his  com- 
mandment is  life  everlasting. 

Jno.  13—34  A  new  command- 
ment I  give  unto  you.  That  ye 
love  one  another ;  as  I  have  loved 
you,  that  ye  also  love  one  another. 

35  By  this  shall  all  men  know 
that  ye  are  my  disciples,  if  ye 
have  love  one  to  another. 

.Jno.  1.5—10  If  ye  keep  my  com- 
mandments, ye  shall  aoide  in  my 
love;  even  as  I  have  kept  my 
Father's  commandments,  and 
abide  in  his  love. 

12  This  is  my  commandment. 
That  ye  love  one  another,  as  ' 
have  loved  you. 


50 


1  Ti.  1—5  Now  the  end  of  the 
commandment  is  charity  out  of  a 
pure  heart,  and  of  a  ^ood  con- 
science, and  of  faith  unfeigned. 

Ec.  12—13  Let  us  hear  the  con- 
clusion of  the  whole  matter :  Fear 
ijrod,  and  keep  his  command- 
ments: for  this  IS  the  whole  duty 
of  man.

Ps.  50—15  Call  upon  me  in  the 
day  of  trouble :  I  will  deliver  thee, 
and  thou  shalt  glorify  me. 

Pro.  8—4  Unto  you,  O  men,  I  call ; 
and  my  voice  is  to  the  sons  of  man. 

Pro.  1—24  I  have  called,  and  ye 
refused ;  I  have  stretched  out  my 
hand,  and  no  man  regarded ; 

27  When  your  fear  cometh,  and 
when  distress  and  anguish  cometh 
upon  you. 

28  Then  shall  they  call  upon  me, 
but  I  will  not  answer;  they  shall 
seek  me  early,  but  they  shall  not 
find  me. 

Mat.  20-16  So  the  last  shall  be

be  called,  but  few  chosen. 

Matt.  22—14  For  many  are  called, 
but  few  are  chosen. 

Ep.  4—1  I  therefore  beseech  you 
that  ye  walk  worthy  of  the  voca- 
tion wherewith  ye  are  called. 

1  Co.  1—26  Ye  see  your  calling, 
brethren,  how  that  not  many  wise 
men  after  the  flesh,  not  many 
mighty,  not  many  noble,  are 
called. 

1  Cu.  7—17  But  as  God  hath  dis- 
tributed to  every  man,  as  the  Lord 


hath  called  every  one,  so  let  him 
walk.  And  so  ordain  I  in  all 
churches. 

20  Let  every  man  abide  in  the 
same  calling  wherein  he  was 
called. 

21  Art  thou  called  being  a  serv- 
ant? care  not  for  it:  but  if  thou 
mayest  be  made  free,  use  it  rather. 

22  For  he  that  is  called  in  the 
Lord,  being  a  servant,  is  the  Lord's 
freeman:  also  he  that  is  called, 
bemg  free,  is  Christ's  servant. 

23  \  e  are  bought  with  a  price ; 
be  not  ye  the  servants  of  men. 

24  Brethren,  let  every  man, 
wherein  he  is  called,  therein  abide 
with  God. 

Ro.  8—28  And  we  know  that  all 
things  work  together  for  good  to 
them  that  love  God,  to  them  who 
are  the  called  according  to  his 
purpose. 

29  For  whom  he  did  foreknow, 
he  also  did  predestmate  to  be  con- 
formed to  the  image  of  his  Son, 
that  he  might  be  the  firstborn 
among  many  brethren, 

30  Moreover,  whom  he  did  pre- 
destinate, them  he  also  calfed; 
and  whom  he  called,  them  he  also 
justified:  and  whom  he  justified, 
them  he  also  glorified. 

Ep.  1—4  According  as  he  hath 
chosen  us  in  him  before  the  foun- 
dation of  the  world,  that  we 
should  be  holy  and  without 
blame  before  him  in  love: 

5  Having  predestinated  us  unto 
the  adoption  of  children  by  Jesus 
Christ  to  himself. 

11  In  whom  also  we  have  ob- 
tamed  an  inheritance,  being  pre- 
destinated according  to  the  pur- 
pose of  him  who  worketh  all 
things  after  the  counsel  of  his 
own  will. 

Ro.  11—28  As  concerning  the 
gospel,  they  are  enemies  for  your 
sakes:  but  as  touching  the  elec- 
tion, they  are  beloved  for  the 
fathers'  sakes. 

29  For  the  gifts  and  calling  of 
God  are  without  repentance.  (Re- 
pent, p.  246). 

Is.  65—9  And  I  will  bring  forth 
a  seed  out  of  Jacob,  and  out  of 
Judah  an  inheritor  of  my  moun- 
tains :  and  mine  elect  shall  inherit 
it,  and  my  servants  shall  dwell 
there,    v.  22,  p.  so. 

1  Co.  1—2  Unto  the  church  of 
God  which  is  at  Corinth,  to  them 
that  are  sanctified  in  Christ  Jesus, 
called  to  be  saints. 


51 


Ro.  8—33  Who  shall  lay  any- 
thing to  the  charge  of  God's 
elect?    It  is  God  that  jiistitieth. 

2  Ti.  2—10  I  endure  all  things 
for  the  elect's  sake,  that  they  may 
also  obtain  the  salvation  which  is 
in  Christ  Jesus  with  eternal  gloiy. 

2  1^6;  1—10  Wherefore,  brethren, 
giye  diligence  to  make  your  call- 
ing and  election  sure :  for  if  ye  do 
these  things,  ye  shall  never  fall. 

2  Jno.  1—13  The  children  of  thy 
elect  sister  greet  thee.    Amen. 

COUNSEL,     COUNSELLORS. 
CROSS,  CONFESS. 

2  Sa.  16—23  The  counsel  of  Ahith- 
ophel,  which  he  counselled  in 
those  days,  was  as  it  a  man  had 
inquire  d  at  the  oracle  of  God :  so 
was  all  the  counsel  of  Ahitho- 
phel  both  with  David  and  with 
Absalom. 

Job  12—17  He  leadeth  counsel- 
lors away  spoiled,  and  maketh 
the  judges  fools. 

Pro.  1—25  Ye  have  set  at  nought 
all  my  counsel,  and  would  none 
of  my  reproof. 

30  They  would  none  of  my  coun- 
sel: they  despised  all  my  reproof. 

Pro.  11—14  Where  no  counsel  is, 
the  people  fall:  but  in  the  multi- 
tude of  counsellors  there  is  safety. 

Pro.  15 — 22  Without  counsel  pur- 
poses are  disappointed:  but  in  the 
multitude  of  counsellors  they  are 
established. 

Pi"o.  19—20  Hear  counsel,  and  re- 
ceive instraction,  that  thou  may- 
est  be  wise  in  thy  latter  end. 

Pro.  24—6  For  by  wise  counsel 
thou  shalt  make  thy  war:  and  in 
multitude  of  counsellors  there  is 
safety. 

Is.  8—10  Take  counsel  together, 
and  it  shall  come  to  nought; 
speak  the  word,  and  it  shall  not 
stand :  for  God  is  with  us. 

Is.  41— 28  And  there  was  no  man; 
even  among  them,  and  there  was 
no  counsellor,' that,  when  I  asked 
of  them,  could  answer  a  word. 

Is.  45—21  Tell  ye,  and  bring  them 
near;  yea,  let  tjiem  take  counsel 
together. 

Is.  47—13  Thou  art  wearied  in 
the  multitude  of  thy  counsels. 
Let  now  the  astrologers,  the  star- 
gazers,  the  monthly  prognostica- 
tors,  stand  up,  and  save  thee. 

Je.  32—18  The  Great.  The  Mighty 
God,  The  Lord  of  hosts;  great  in 
counsel,  and  mighty  in  work. 


Mat.  10—38  And  he  that  taketli  • 
not  his  cross,  and  foUoweth  after 
me,  is  not  worthy  of  me. 

Mat.  Ki— 24  Then  said  Jesus  unto 
his  disciples.  If  any  man  will 
come  after  me,  let  him  deny  him- 
self, and  take  up  his  cross,  and 
follow  me. 

Lu.  14—27  And  whosoever  doth 
not  bear  his  cross,  and  ctmie  after 
me,  cannot  be  my  disciple. 

Lu.  23—26  And  as  they  led  him 
away,  they  laid  hold  upon  one 
Simon,  a  Cyrenian,  and  on  him 
they  laid  the  cross,  that  he  might 
bear  it  after  Jesus. 

Jno.  19—17  Je.sus  bearing  his 
cross  went  forth  into  a  place  called 
the  place  of  a  skull,  which  is 
callea  in  the  Hebrew  Golgotha. 

18  Where  they  crucified  him, 
and  two  others  with  him. 

19  And  Pilate  wrote  a  title,  and 
put  it  on  the  cro.ss.  And  the  writ- 
ing was,  JESUS  OF  NAZARETH. 
THE  KING  OF  THE  JEWS.  p. 
516,  517. 

Phi.  2—8  And  he  humbled  him- 
self, and  became  obedient  unto 
death,  even  the  death  of  the  cross. 

Ps.  32—5  I  said.Iwillcontessmy 
transgressions  unto  the  Lord  ;  and 
thou  forgavest  the  iniquity  of  my 
sin.    Selah. 

Mat.  10— 32  Whosoever  shall  con- 
fess me  before  men,  him  will  I 
confess  also  before  my  Father 
which  is  in  heaven. 

33  But  whosoever  shall  deny  me 
before  men,  him  will  I  also  deny 
before  my  Father  which  is  in 
heaven. 

Lu.  12—8  Whosoever  shall  con- 
fess me  before  men,  him  shall  the 
Son  of  man  also  confess  before 
the  angels  of  God : 

9  But  he  that  denieth  me  before 
men  shall  be  denied  before  the 
angels  of  God. 

Ro.  10—9  That  if  thou  shalt  con- 
fess with  thy  mouth  the  Lord 
Jesus,  and  shalt  believe  in  thine 
heart  that  God  hath  raised  him 
from  the  dead,  thou  shalt  be 
saved. 

Ja. 5—16  Confess  your  faults  one 
to  another. 

1  Jno.  1—0  If  we  confess  our  sins, 
he  is  fiiithful  and  just  to  forgive 
us  our  sins. 

1  Jno.  4—15  Whosoever  shall 
confess  that  Jesus  is  the  Son  of 
God.  God  dwelleth  in  him.  aud 
he  in  God.

CIRCUMCISION  commanded, 
etc.  See  also  Ex.  4.  34-26.  p.  151: 
De,  10. 16  and  Ac.  7. 51,  p.  275.  Cir- 
cumcision abolished  according  to 
the  New  Testament.  Ac.  10.  45  and 
11. 1-18.  Question  of  circumcision 
settled  by  the  a_postles,  Ac.  15.  23- 
29,  and  contention  between  Paul 
and  Peter  about  the  circumcision. 
Gal.  2.  1-16.  Joshua  circumcised 
600,000  men  of  Israel  at  one  time. 
See  Jos.  5.  2-9. 

Ge.l7— 9AndGodsaid  unto  Abra- 
ham, Thou  shalt  keep  my  cove- 
nant, thou,  and  thy  seed  afterthee 
in  their  generations. 

10  This  is  my  covenant,  which  ye 
shall  keep,  between  me  and  you 
and  thy  seed  after  thee;  Every 
man  child  among  you  shall  be 
circumcised. 

11  And  ye  shall  circumcise  the 
flesh  of  your  foreskin ;  and  it  shall 
be  a  token  of  the  covenant  be- 
twixt me  and  you.' 

12  And  he  that  is  eight  days  old 
shall  be  circumcised  among  you, 
every  man  child  in  your  genera- 
tions, he  that  is  bom  in  the  house, 
or  bought  with  money  of  any 
stranger, which  is  not  of  thy  seed. 

13  He  that  is  born  in  thy  house, 
and  he  that  is  bought  with  thy 
money,  must  needs  be  circum- 
cised :  and  my  covenant  shall  be 
in  your  flesh  for  an  everlasting 
covenant. 

14  And  the  uncircunicised  man 
child  whose  flesli  of  his  foreskin  is 
not  circumcised,  that  soul  shall 
be  cut  off  from  his  people ;  he  hath 
broken  my  covenant. 

23  And  Abraham  took  Ishmael 
his  son,  and  all  that  were  born  in 
his  house.and  all  that  were  bought 
with  his  money, everymale  among 
the  men  of  Abraham's  house :  and 
circumcised  the  flesh  of  their  fore- 
skin in  the  selfsame  day,  as  God 
had  said  unto  him. 

24  And  Abraham  was  ninety 
years  old  and  nine,  when  he  was 
circumcised. 

25  And  Ishmael  his  son  was  thir- 
teen years  old,  when  he  was  cir- 
cumcised. 

Ge.  21^  And  Abraham  circum- 
cised his  son  Isaac  being  eight 
days  old,  as  God  had  commanded 
him. 

5  And  Abraham  was  a  hundred 
years  old.  when  his  son  Isaac  was 
bom  unto  him.  p.  335. 


De.  30—6  -■^nd  the  Lord  will  cir- 
cumcise thine  heart,  and  the  heart 
of  thy  seed,  to  love  the  Lord  with 
all  tliine  heart  and  soul. 

Je.  4 — 1  Circumcise  yourselves  to 
the  Lord,  and  take  away  the  fore- 
skins of  your  heart,  ye  men  of 
Judah  and  Jerusalem;  lest  my 
fury  come  forth  like  fire,  and  bum 
that  none  can  quench  it,  because 
of  the  evil  of  your  douigs. 

Ro.  2—25  For  circumcision  verily 
profiteth,  if  thou  keep  the  law: 
but  if  thou  be  a  brealcer  of  the 
law,  thy  circumcision  is  made  un- 
circumcision. 

1  Co.  7—19  Circumcision  is  noth- 
ing, and  uncircumcision  is  noth- 
ing, but  the  keeping  of  the  com- 
mandments of  God. 

Gal.  5—6  For  in  Jesus  Christ 
neither  circumcision  availeth  any 
thing,  nor  uncircumcision;  but 
faith  which  worketh  by  love. 

Lu.  2—21  And  when  eight  days 
were  accomplished  for  the  circum- 
cising of  the  child,  his  name  was 
called  JESUS,  which  was  so 
named  of  the  angel  before  he  was 
conceived  in  the  womb.  p.  498. 

COMFORT,      COMFORTERS. 
CHASTISEMENT,  COMMUNE. 

Job.  16—1  Then  Job  said, 

2  I  have  heard  many  such 
things:  miserable  comforters  are 
ve  all.  p.  384. 

Job.  21—34  How  then  comfort  ye 
me  in  vain,  seeing  in  your  answers 
there  remaineth  falsehood,  p.  385. 

Ps.  69—20  I  looked  for  some  to 
take  pity,  but  there  was  none; 
and  for  comforters,  but  I  found 
none. 

Is.  40—1  Comfort  ye,  comfort  ye 
my  people,  saith  yoiu'  God.  p.  470. 

is.  61—2  To  proclaim  the  accept- 
able year  of  the  Lord,  and  the  day 
of  vengeance  of  our  God ;  to  com- 
fort all  that  mourn,  p.  473. 

Is.  66—13  As  onewhom  his  mother 
comforteth,  so  will  I  comfort  you ; 
and  ye  shall  be  comforted. 

Jno.  14—16  And  I  will  pray  the 
Father,  and  he  shall  give  you  an- 
other Comforter,  that  he  may 
abide  with  you  for  ever ; 

17  Even  the  Spirit  of  truth; 
whom  the  world  cannot  receive, 
because  it  seeth  him  not.  neither 
knoweth  him :  but  ye  know  him  • 
for  he  dwelleth  with  you,  and 
shall  be  in  you. 


53 


18  I  will  not  leave  you  comfort- 
less: I  will  come  to  you. 

26  But  the  Comforter,  which  is 
the  Holy  Ghost,  whom  the  Father 
will  seud  in  my  name,  he'  shall 
teach  you  all  things,  and  bring 
ail  things  to  your  remembrance, 
whatsoever  I  have  said  mito  you. 

1  Ki.  12—14  Rehoboam  said  Solo- 
mon my  father  chastised  you 
with  whips,  but  I  will  chastise 
you  with  scorpions. 

De.  8 — 5  Also  consider  in  thine 
heart,  that,  as  a  man  chasteneth 
his  son,  so  the  Lord  thy  God 
chasteneth  thee.   Job.  5. 17,  p.  189. 

6  Therefore  thou  shalt  keep  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  to  walk  in  his  ways,  and  to 
fear  him. 

Pro.  3—11  My  son,  despise  not 
the  chastening  of  the  Lord; 
neither  be  weary  of  his  cor- 
rection : 

12  For  whom  the  Lord  loveth 
he  correcteth ;  even  as  a  father 
the  son  in  whom  he  delighteth. 

He.  12—7  If  ye  endure  chasten- 
ing, God  dealeth  with  you  as  with 
sons:  for  what  son  is  he  whom 
the  father  chasteneth  not? 

8  But  if  ye  be  without  chastise- 
ment, whereof  all  are  partakers, 
then  are  ye  bastards,  and  not  sons. 

Ex.  25—22  And  there!  will  meet 
with  thee,  and  I  will  commune 
with  thee  from  above  the  mercy 
seat,  from  between  the  two  cheru- 
bim which  are  upon  the  ark  of 
the  testimony. 

Job.  4—2  Ii  we  assay  to  com- 
mune with  thee,  wilt  thou  be 
grieved?  but  who  can  withhold 
himself  from  speaking?    p.  383. 

Ps.  4 — 4  Stand  in  awe,  and  sin 
not:  commune  with  your  own 
heart  upon  your  bed,  and  be  still. 

Ps.  77 — 6  I  call  to  remembrance 
my  son^  in  the  night :  I  commune 
with  mine  own  heart:  and  my 
spirit  made  diligent  search. 

CANDLE  (Golden  Candlestick, 
see  Ex.  2.5.  31  and  Re.  1.12,  p.  490), 
Countenance,  Conscience,  Con- 
tentment, Covetousness,  Confi- 
dence, Calamity,  Crafty,  Corn. 
See  also  Is.  62.  8,  p.  306,  Am.  8.  5, 
p.  26. 

Job.  21—17  How  oft  is  the  candle 
of  the  wicked  put  out!  and  how 
oft  Cometh  their  destruction  upon 
them!  God  distributeth  sorrows 
in  his  anger. 


Job.  18—6  The  light  shall  be 
dark  in  his  tabernacle,  and  his 
candle  shall  be  put  out  with  him. 

Job.  29— -2  Oh  that  I  were  as  in 
the  days  when  God  preserved 
me: 

3  When  his  candle  shined  upon 
my  head,  and  when  by  his  light 
I  walked  through  darkness,  p. 
386. 

Ps.  18—28  For  thou  wilt  light 
my  candle:  the  Lord  my  God 
will  enlighten  my  darkness. 

Pro.  20—27  The  spirit  of  man  is 
the  candle  of  the  Lord,  searching 
all  the  inward  parts  of  the  belly. 

Pro.  24—20  For  there  shall  be  no 
reward  to  the  evil  man ;  the  can- 
dle of  the  wicked  shall  be  put 
out. 

Pro.  31—18  She  perceiveth  that 
her  merchandise  is  good:  her 
candle  goeth  not  out  by  night, 
p.   209. 

Mat.  .5—15  Neither  do  men  light 
a  caudle,  and  put  it  under  a 
bushel,  but  on  a  candlestick ;  and 
it  giveth  light  unto  all  that  are  in 
the  house,    p.  175. 

Lu.  8 — 16  No  man,  when  he  hath 
lighted  a  caudle,  covereth  it  with 
a  vessel,  or  putteth  it  under  a 
bed;  but  setteth  it  on  a  candle- 
stick, that  they  which  enter  in 
may  see  the  light,    p.  535. 

Re.  18—23  And  the  light  of  a 
candle  shall  shine  no  more  at  all 
in  thee. 

Re.  22—5  And  there  shall  be  no 
night  there;  and  they  need  no 
caudle,  neither  light  of  the  sun. 
p.  37. 

Ne.  2—2  Why  is  thy  countenance 
sad,  seeing  thou  art  not  sick?  this 
is  nothing  else  but  sorrow  of  heart. 

SS.  2—14  Let  me  see  thy  counte- 
nance, let  me  hear  thy  voice ;  for 
sweet  is  thy  voice,  and  thy  coun- 
tenance is  comely,    p.  172. 

Is.  3—9  The  shew  of  then-  coun- 
tenance doth  witness  against 
them. 

Jiio.  8—9  They  which  heard  it, 
being  convicted  by  their  own 
conscience,  went  out  one  by  one, 
beginning  at  the  eldest,    p.  437. 

1  Co.  10—29  Conscience,  I  say, 
not  thine  own,  but  of  the  other: 
for  why  is  my  liberty  judged  of 
another  man's  conscience? 

Ac.  24 — 16  And  herein  do  I  ex- 
ercise myself,  to  have  always  a 
conscience  void  of  offence  toward 
God,  and  toward  men. 


54 


He.  13—18  Pray  for  us:  for  we 
trust  we  have  a  good  conscience, 
in  all  things  willing  to  live 
honestly. 

1  Ti.  4—2  Speaking  lies  in  hy- 
pocrisy; having  then-  conscience 
seared  with  a  hot  ii'on. 

Phi.  4—11  Not  that  I  speak  in 
respect  of  want:  for  I  have 
learned,  in  whatsoever  state  I 
am,  therewith  to  be  content. 
He.  13.  5.  p.  58. 

1  Ti.  6—6  But  godliness  with 
contentment  is  great  gain. 

7  For  we  brought  nothing  into 
this  world,  and  it  is  certain  we 
can  carry  nothing  out. 

8  And  havmg  food  and  raiment, 
let  us  be  therewith  content. 

Je.  6—13  For  from  the  least  of 
them  even  unto  the  greatest  of 
them  every  one  is  given  to  covet- 
ousness;  and  fi-om  the  prophet 
even  unto  the  priest  every  one 
dealeth  falsely. 

Hab.  2—9  Woe  to  him  that  cov- 
eteth  an  evil  covetousness  to  his 
house,  that  he  may  set  his  nest 
on  high. 

Lu.  12—15  And  he  said  unto 
them,  Take  heed,  and  beware  of 
covetousness:  for  a  man's  life 
consisteth  not  in  the  abundance 
of  the  things  which  he  possesseth. 

Pro.  25—19  Confidence  in  an  un- 
faithful man  in  time  of  trouble  is 
like  a  broken  tooth,  and  a  foot 
out  of  joint. 

2  Co.  7—16  I  rejoice  therefore 
that  I  have  confidence  in  yon  in 
all  thing.s. 

He.  1(1—35  Cast  not  away  there- 
fore your  confidence,  which  hath 
great  recompense  of  reward. 

Pro.  1—26  I  also  will  laugh  at 
your  calamity;  I  will  mock  when 
your  fear  cometh. 

Pro.  6—15  Therefore  shall  his 
calamity  come  suddenly;  sud- 
denly shall  he  be  broken  without 
remedy. 

Pi-o.  17—5  Whoso  mocketh  the 
poor  reproacheth  his  Maker:  and 
he  that  is  glad  at  calamities  shall 
not  be  unpunished. 

Pro.  24—22  For  their  calamity 
shall  rise  suddenly;  and  who 
knoweth  the  ruin  of  them  both? 

Job.  .5—12  He  disappointeth  the 
devices  of  the  crafty,  so  that  their 
hands  cannot  perform  their  enter- 
prise. 

13  He  taketh  the  wise  in  their 
own  craftiness:  and  the  counsel 


of  the  froward  is  carried  head- 
long. 

Da.  8—25  And  through  his  policy 
also  he  shall  cause  craft  to  pros- 
per in  his  hand.    p.  395. 

2  Co.  12—16  But  be  it  so,  I  did 
not  burden  you:  nevertheless, 
being  crafty,  I  caught  you  with 
guile. 

Re.  18—22  And  no  craftsman,  of 
whatsoever  craft  he  be,  shall  be 
found  any  more  in  thee.    p.  535. 

Ge.  27 — 28  Therefore  God  give 
thee  of  the  dew  of  heaven,  and 
the  fatness  of  the  earth,  and 
plenty  of  com  and  wine.    p.  340. 

Ge.  41—57  And  all  countries 
came  into  Egypt  to  Joseph  for  to 
buy  corn;  because  that  the  fam- 
ine was  so  sore  in  all  lands,  p. 
349. 

Ge.  42—1  Jacob  said  unto  his 
sons, I  have  heard  that  there  is 
corn  in  Egypt:  get  you  down 
thither,  and  buy  for  us. 

3  And  Joseph's  ten  bretlu-en 
went  down  to  buy  corn  in  Egypt, 
p.  .349. 

De.  23—25  When  thou  comest 
into  the  standing  corn  of  thy 
neighbour,  then  thou  mayest 
pluck  the  ears  with  thine  hand ; 
but  thou  shalt  not  move  a  .sickle 
unto  thy  neighbour's"  standing 
corn. 

Ps.  78—24  And  had  rained  down 
manna  to  eat,  and  had  given  them 
of  the  corn  of  heaven. 

Pro.  11—26  He  that  withholdeth 
com,  the  people  shall  curse  him : 
but  blessing  shall  be  upon  the 
head  of  him  that  selleth  it. 

Zee.  9—17  How  great  is  his  good-

Mat.  12—1  At  that  time  Jesus 
went  on  the  sabbath  day  through 
the  com ;  and  his  disciples  were  a 
hungered,  and  began  to  pluck  the 
ears  of  com,  and  to  eat. 

2  But  the  Pharisees  said.  Thy 
disciples  do  that  which  is  not 
lawful  to  do  upon  the  sabbath 
day. 

3  But  he  said  unto  them,  Have 
ye  not  read  what  David  did,  when 
he  was  a  hungered ; 

4  How  he  entered  into  the  house 
of  God,  and  did  eat  the  shew- 
bread,  which  was  not  lawful  for 
him  to  eat,  neither  lor  them 
which  were  with  him,  but  only 
for  the  priests?    (David  and  his 


55 


men  did  eat  tlie  bread,  and  in 
conseciuence  eighty-five  priests 
and  all  the  people  m  the  city  of 
Nob  were  slam.  1  Sa.  21,  22,  p.  360.) 

5  Or  have  ye  not  read  in  the  law, 
how  that  on  the  sabbath  days  the 
priests  in  the  temple  profane  the 
sabbath,  and  are  blameless  ? 

6  But  I  say  unto  you,  That  in 
this  place  is  one  greater  than  the 
temple. 

8  For  the  Son  of  man  is  Lord 
even  of  the  sabbath  day.

SS.  3—9  King  Solomon  made  him- 
self a  chariot  of  the  wood  of  Leb- 
anon. 

10  He  made  the  pillars  of  silver, 
the  bottom  of  gold,  the  covering: 
of  it  of  purple,  the  midst  thereof 
being  paved  with  love,  for  the 
daughters  of  Jerusalem.

Ps.  68—17  The  chariots  of  God  are 
twenty  thousand,  even  thousands 
of  angels:  the  Lord  is  among 
them ,  as  in  Sinai,  in  the  holy  place. 

Na.  2—3  The  chariots  shall  be 
with  flaminjj  torches  in  the  day  of 
his  preparation. 

4  The  chariots  shall  rage  in  the 
streets,  they  shall  justle  one 
against  anotherin  the  broad  ways ; 
they  shall  run  like  the  lightnings.

Ps.  116—13  I  will  take  the  cup  of 
salvation,  and  call  upon  the  name 
of  the  Lord. 

Is.  51—17  O  Jerusalem,  which 
hast  drunk  at  the  handof  theLoRD 
the   cup  of   his  fury;    thou  hast 


drunken  the  dregs  of  the  cup  of 
trembling,  and  wrung  them  out. 

Je.  16—7  Neither  shall  men  com- 
fort them ;  neither  shall  men  give 
them  the  cup  of  consolation  to 
drink. 

Je.  51—7  Babylon  hathbeen  a  gol- 
den cup  in  the  Lord's  hand,  that 
made  all  the  earth  drunken,  p.  33. 

Eze.  23—31  Thou  hast  walked  in 
the  way  of  thy  sister;  therefore 
will  I  give  hercup  into  tlime  hand. 

32  Thou  shalt  drink  of  thy  .sister's 
cup  deep  and  large :  thou  shalt  be 
laughed  to  scorn  and  had  in  de- 
rision •  it  containeth  much.  . 

33  Thou  shalt  be  filled  with 
drunkenness  and  sorrow,  with  the 
cup  of  astoni-shnient  and  desola- 
tion, with  the  cup  of  thy  sister 
Samaria. 

Mat.  26—39  O  my  Father,  if  it  be 
possible,  let  this  cup  pass  from 
me:  nevertheless,  not  as  I  will, 
but  as  thou  wilt. 

42  O  my  Father,  if-  this  cup  may 
not  pass  away  from  me,  except  I 
drink  it,  thy  will  be  done.  Mat. 
20.  22.  p.  460. 

Mar.  9 — 41  For  whosoever  shall 
give  you  a  cup  of  water  to  drink  in 
my  name,  because  ye  belong  to 
Christ,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  he 
shall  not  lose  his  reward. 

1  Co.  10—21  Ye  cannot  drink  the 
cup  of  the  Lord,  and  the  cup  of 
devils:  ye  cannot  be  partakers  of 
the  Lord's  table,  and  of  the  table 
of  devils. 

Re.  14—10  The  same  shall  drink 
of  the  wine  of  the  wrath  of  God,

plate  of  the  holy  crown  of  pure 
gold,  and  wrote  upon  it  a  writing 
like  to  the  engravingsof  a  signet, 
HOLINESS  TO  THE  LORD. 

Pro.  27—24  For  riches  are  not  for 
ever:  and  doth  the  crown  endure 
to  every  generation  ? 

Is.  62—3  Thoii  shalt  also  be  a 
crown  of  glory  in  the  hand  of  the 
Lord,  and  aroj'al  diadem  in  the 
hand  of  thy  God.  Is.  28.  5,  p.  470. 

Pro.  16—31  The  hoary  head  is  a 
crown  of  glory,  if  it  be  found  in

SS.  a-11  Go  forth,  O  ye  daughters 
of  Zion,  and  behold  kmg  Splomoii 
with  the  crown  wherewith  his 
mother  crowned  him  in  the  day 
of  his  espousals.  . 

La.  5—16  The  crown  is  fallen 
from  our  head:  woe  unto  us,  that 
we  have  sinned !         .  ,     ,     r     j 

Eze.  21—26  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  Remove  the  diadem,  and 
take  off  the  cro-mi:  exalt  him 
that  is  low,  and  abase  him  that  is 

1  Co.  9—25  And  every  man  that 
striveth  for  the  mastery  is  tem- 
perate in  all  things.  Now  they 
do  it  to  obtain  a  corruptible 
crown;   but  we  an  incoiTuptible. 

2  Ti.  4—8  Henceforth  there  is 
laid  up  for  me  a  crown  of  right- 
eousness, which  the  Lord,  the 
righteous  judge,  shall  give  me 
at  that  day:  and  not  to  me  only. 
Taut  unto  all  them  also  that  love 
liis  appearing. 

1  Pe.  5—4  And  when  the  chief 
Shepherd  shall  appear,  ye  shall 
receive  a  crown  of  glory  that 
fadeth  not  away.      „  .  ,  ,  , 

Re.  2—10  Be  thou  faithful  unto

The  flying  roll,  the  Curse. 
The  curse  in  general.  Jeremiah 
cursed  the  day  of  his  birth  (.Je. 
20.  14,  this  page).  See  also  the 
serpent  cursed,  and  the  ground 
cursed  for  Adam's  sake  (Ge.  3. 14,

4.  11,  p.  12).  Ham  ciu-sed  (Ge.  9,  22,

upon  the  children  of  Israel,  which 
did  come  to  pass.  See  Blessing 
and  Cm-se  (p.  161-165).  The  Lord's 
curse  upon  Eli  the  priest  and  his 
sons,  and  the  priest  whom  the 
Lord  raised  up  in  Eli's  stead 
had  sons  ectually  as  bad  as  Eli's 
sons(l  Sa.  2.  22-36  and  1  Sa.  8.  1-5). 
David's  curse  upon  Joab  (2.  Sa.  3.

David  (2  Sa.  12.  10,  p.  426).  David

Zee.  5—1  Then  I  turned,  and 
lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  looked, 
and  behold  a  flying  roll. 

2  And  he  said  unto  me.  What 
seest  thou?  And  I  answered,  I 
see  a  flying  roll;  the  length 
thereof  is  twenty  cubits,  and 'the 
breadth  therof  ten  cubits. 

3  Then  said  he  unto  me.  This  is 
the  curse  that  goeth  forth  over 
the  face  of  the  whole  earth  •  for 
every  one  that  stealeth  shall  be 
cut  off  as  on  this  side  according 
to  it  •  and  every  one  that  swear- 
eth  shall  be  cut  off  as  on  that  side 
according  to  it.  .  ,     , 

4  I  will  bring  it  forth,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  it  shall  enter  into  the 
house  of  the  thief,  and  into  the 
house  of  him  that  sweareth 
falsely  by  my  name:  and  it  shall 
remain  in  the  midst  of  his  house, 
and  shall  consume  it  with  the  tim- 
ber and  the  stones  thereof,   p.  454. 

Je.  20—14  Cursed  be  the  day 
wherein  I  was  bom:  let  not  the 
day  wherein  my  mother  bare  me 
he  blessed. 

15  Cursed  be  the  man  who 
brought  tidings  to  my  father,  say- 
ing, A  man  child  is  bom  unto 
thee ;  making  him  very  glad. 

16  And  let  that  man  be  as  the 
cities  which  the  Lord  overthrew, 
and  repented  not:  and  let  him 
hear  the  cry  in  the  morning,  and 
the  shouting  at  noontide ; 

17  Because  he  slew  me  not  from 
the  womb;  or  that  my  mother 
might  have  been  my  grave. 

18  Wherefore  came  I  forth  out 
of  the  womb  to  see  labour  and 
son-ow,  that  my  days  should  be 
consumed  with  shame  ? 

Ro.  12—14  Bless  them  which  per- 
secute you:  bless,  and  curse  not. 

Pro.  3—33  The  curse  of  the  Lord 
is  in  the  house  of  the  wicked :  but 
he  blesseth  the  habitation  of  the 
just. 

Je.  48—10  Cursed  be  he  that  do- 
eth  the  work  of  the  Lord  deceit- 
fully, and  cui'sed  be  he  that  keep- 
eth  back  his  sword  from  blood. 

Gal.  3—13  Christ  hath  redeemed 
us  from  the  curse  of  the  law,  being 
made  a  curse  for  us:  for  it  is  writ- 
ten. Cursed  is  every  one  that  haug- 
eth  on  a  tree.  De.  21.  22,  p.  129.

Ec.  12—1  Remember  now  thy 
Creator  in  the  days  of  tliy  youth, 
while  the  evil  days  come  not,  nor 
the  years  draw  nigh,  when  thou 
shalt  say,  1  have  no  pleasure  in 
them: 

2  While  the  sun,  or  the  light,  or 
the  moon,  or  the  stars,  he  not 
darkened,  nor  the  clouds  retxrm 
after  the  rain : 

3  In  the  day  when  the  keepers 
of  the  house  shall  tremble,  and  the 
strong  men  shall  bow  themselves, 
and  the  grinders  cease  because 
they  are  few,  and  those  that  look 
out  of  tlie  windows  be  darkened, 

4  And  the  doors  shall  be  shut  in 
the  streets,  when  the  sound  of  the 
grinding  is  low,  and  he  shall  rise 
up  at  the  voice  of  the  bird,  and 
all  the  daiighters  of  music  shall 
be  brought  low ; 

5  Also  when  they  shall  be  afraid 
of  that  which  is  high,  and  fears 
shall  be  in  the  way,  and  the  al- 
mond tree  shall  flourish,  and  the 

grasshopper  shall  be  a  burden,  and 
esire  shall  fail:  because  man 
goeth  to  his  long  home,  and  the 
mourners  go  about  the  streets: 

6  Or  ever  the  silver  cord  be 
loosed,  or  the  golden  bowl  be 
broken,  or  the  pitcher  be  broken 
at  the  fountain,  or  the  wheel 
broken  at  the  cistern. 

7  Then  shall  the  dust  retiu-n  to 
the  earth  as  it  was:  and  the  spirit 
shall  return  unto  God  who  gave  it. 

Ro.  1—25  Who  changed  the  truth 
of  God  into  a  lie,  and  worshipped 
and  served  the  creature  more  than 
the  Creator.

Mi.  5—1  They  shall  .smite  the 
judge  of  Israel  with  a  rod  upon 
the  check,    p.  481. 

Mar.  15—19  And  they  smote  him 
on  the  head  with  a  reed,  and  did 
spit  upon  him,  and  bowing  their 
knees  worshipped  him. 

Mat.  27—30  And  they  spit  upon 
him,  and  took  the  reed,  and  smote 
him  on  the  head. 

Is.  50—6  I  gave  my  back  to  the 
smiters,  and  my  cheeks  to  them 
that  plucked  off  the  hair :  I  hid  not 
my  face  from  shame  and  spit- 
ting. 


La.  3—30  He  giveth  his  cheek  to 
him  that  smiteth  him:  he  is 
tilled  full  with  reproach. 

Job.  16—10  They  have  gaped 
upon  me  with  their  mouth ;  they 
have  smitten  me  upon  the  cheek 
reproachfully. 

Mat.  5—39  I  say  unto  you,  Re- 
sist not  evil:  but  whosoever  shall 
smite  thee  on  thy  right  cheek, 
turn  to  him  the  other  al.so. 

Lu.  6—29  And  unto  him  that 
smiteth  thee  on  the  one  cheek 
offer  also  the  otlier ;  and  him  that 
taketh  away  thy  cloak  forbid  not 
to  take  thy  coat  also. 

SS.  1—10  Thy  cheeks  are  comely 
with  rows  of  jewels,  thy  neck  with 
chains  of  gold.    SS.  5.  13,  p.  173. 

Job.  30—6  To  dwell  in  the  cliffs 
of  the  valleys,  in  caves  of  the 
earth,  and  in  the  rocks. 

Je.  49—16  Thy  terribleness  hath 
deceived  thee,  and  the  pride  of 
thine  heart,  O  thou  that  dwellest 
in  the  cleftsof  the  rock,  that  bold- 
est the  height  of  the  hill:  though 
thou  shouldest  make  thy  nest  as 
high  as  the  eagle,  I  will  bring  thee 
down  from  thence,  saith  the 
Lord. 

Is.  32—5  The  vile  person  shall  be 
no  more  called  liberal,  nor  the 
cburl  said  to  be  bountiful. 

7  The  instruments  also  of  the 
chui-1  are  evil:  he  deviseth  wick- 
ed devices  to  destroy  the  poor 
with  lying  words,  even  when  the 
needy  speaketh  right. 

Ps.  40—2  He  brought  me  up  out 
of  a  horrible  pit,  out  of  the  miry 
clay,  and  set  my  feet  upon  a  rock, 
and  established  my  goings. 

Ro.  9—21  Hath  not  the  potter 
power  over  the  clay,  of  the  same 
lump  to  make  one  vessel  unto  hon- 
our, and  another  unto  dishonour? 

De.  32—26  I  said,  I  would  scatter 
them  into  comers,  I  would  make 
the  remembrance  of  them  to 
cease  from  among  men. 

Ac.  26—26  For  the  king  knoweth 
of  these  things,  before  whom  also 
I  speak  freely:  fori  am  persuaded 
that  none  of  these  things  are  hid- 
den from  bim ;  for  this  thing  was 
not  done  in  a  comer. 

Mat.  13—15  Lest  at  any  time  they 
should  see  with  then-  eyes,  and 
hear  with  their  ears,  and  should 
understand  with  their  heart,  and 
sbould  be  converted,  and  I  should 
heal  them.  See  Is.  6.  10;  Jno.  12.

Ac.  25—10  Then  said  Paul,  I

appeal  iinto  Cesar.  Then  Festus 
said.  Hast  tliou  appealed  unto  Ce- 
sar ?  unto  Cesar  shalt  thou  go.

God's.  „  ,    ^

Zee.  7—13  Therefore  it  is  come 
to  pass,  that  as  he  cried,  and  they

LORD  of  hosts.  ,,    ,

God;  Behold,  I  judge  between 
cattle  and  cattle,  between  the 
rams  and  the  he  goats.

your  bands  be  made  strong:  for  I 
have  heard  from  the  Lord  God  of 
hosts  a  consumption,  even  deter- 
mmed  upon  the  whole  earth. 

1  Co.  1—11  For  it  hath  been  de- 
clared unto  me  of  you,  my  breth-

house  of  Chloe,  that  there  are 
contentions  among  you.

De.  32 — 17  They  sacriticed  unto 
devils,  not  to  God ;  to  Gods  wlioni 
they  knew  not. 

Ps.  106—37  Yea,  they  sacrified 
their  sons  and  their  daughters 
unto  devils, 

38  And  shed  innocent  blood, 
even  the  blood  of  their  sons  and 
of  their  daughters,  whom  they 
sacrificed  unto  the  idols  of  Ca- 
naan :  and  the  laud  was  polluted 
.with  blood. 

1  Chr.  21—1  And  Satan  stood  up 
against  Israel,  and  provoked 
David  to  number  Lsrael.    p.  3G3. 

2  Chr.  11 — 15  And  he  ordained 
him  priests  for  the  high  places, 
and  for  the  devils,  and  for  the 
calves  which  he  had  made. 

Christ  fasted  forty  days  and 
forty  nights,  and  was  then 
tempted  by  the  Devil,  etc. 

Mat.  4^1  Then  was  Jesus  led 
up  of  the  Spirit  into  the  wilder- 
ness to  be  tempted  of  the  devil. 

2  And  when  he  had  fasted  forty 
days  and  forty  nights,  he  was 
afterward  a  hungered. 

3  And  when  the  tempter  came 
to  him,  he  said,  If  thou  be  the 
Son  of  God,  command  that  these 
stones  be  made  bread. 

4  But  he  answered  and  said.  It 
is  written,  Man  shall  not  live  by 
bread  alone,  but  by  eveiT  word 
that  proceedeth  out  of  the  mouth 
of  God. 

(De.  8—3  And  he  humbled  thee, 
and  suffered  thee  to  hunger,  and 
fed  thee  with  manna,  which  thou 
knewest  not,  neither  did  thy 
fathers  know;  that  he  might 
make  thee  know  that  man  doth 
not  live  by  bread  only,  but  by 
every  word  that  proceedeth  out 
of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  doth 
man  live.) 

5  Then  the  devil  taketh  him  up 
into  the  holy  city,  and  setteth 
him  on  a  pinnacle  of  the  temple, 

6  And  saith  unto  him.  If  thou 
be  the  Son  of  (xod,  ca.st  thyself 
down :  for  it  is  written,  He  shall 
give  his  angels  charge  concerning 
thee:  and  in  their  hands  they 
shall  bear  thee  up,  lest  at  any  time 
thou  dash  thy  foot  against  a 
stone. 

(Ps.  91—11  For  he  shall  give  his 
angels  charge  over  thee,  to  keep 
thee  in  all  thy  ways. 

12  They  shall  bear  thee  up  in 
their  hands,  lest  thou  dash  thy 
foot  against  a  stone.) 


7  Jesus  said  unto  him,  It  is  writ- 
ten again.  Thou  shalt  not  tempt 
the  Lord  thy  God. 

(De.  6—16  Ye  shall  not  tempt  the 
Lord  your  God,  as  ye  tempted 
him  in  Massah.    Ex.  17.  7,  p.  302.) 

8  Again,  the  devil  taketh  him 
up  into  an  exceeding  high  moun- 
tain, and  sheweth  him  all  the 
kingdoms  of  the  world,  and  the 
glory  of  them; 

9  And  saith  unto  him.  All  these 
things  will  I  give  thee,  if  thou 
wilt  fall  down  and  worship  me. 

10  Then  saith  Jesus  mito  him, 
Get  thee  hence,  Satan:  for  it  is 
written.  Thou  shalt  worship  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  him  only  shalt 
thou  serve. 

(Ex.  34— 14  For  thou  shalt  worship 
no  other  God :  for  the  Lord,  whose 
name  is  Jealous,  is  a  jealous 
God. 

De.  6—13  Thou  shalt  fear  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  serve  him, 
and  shalt  swear  by  his  name.) 

11  Then  the  devil  leaveth  him, 
and,  behold,  angels  came  and 
ministered  unto  him. 

Lu.  4—33  And  in  the  synagogue 
there  was  a  man,  which  had  a 
spirit  of  an  unclean  devil,  and 
cried  out  with  a  loud  voice, 

34  Saying,  Let  tis  alone;  what 
have  we  to  do  witjj  thee,  thou  Je- 
sus of  Nazareth?  art  thou  come  to 
destroy  us?  1  know  thoe  who  thou 
art ;  the  Holy  One  of  God. 

35  And  Jesus  rebuked  him,  say- 
ing. Hold  thy  peace,  and  come  out 
of  him.  And  when  the  devil  liad 
thrown  him  in  the  midst,  he  came 
out  of  him.  and  hurt  him  not. 

41  And  devils  also  came  out  of 
many,  crying  out,  and  saying. 
Thou  art  Christ  the  Son  of  God. 
And  he  reluiking  them  suffered 
them  not  to  speak :  for  they  knew 
that  he  was  Christ. 

Lu.  9—49  And  John  answered 
and  said,  Master,  we  saw  one 
casting  out  devils  in  thy  name; 
and  we  forbade  him,  because  he 
foUoweth  not  with  us. 

,50  And  Jesus  said  unto  him. 
Forbid  him  not :  for  he  that  is  not 
against  us  is  for  us. 

Lu.  10—17  And  the  seventy  re- 
turned again  with  joy,  saying. 
Lord,  even  the  devils  are  subject 
unto  us  through  thy  name. 

18  And  he  said  unto  them,  I 
beheld  Satan  as  lightning  fall 
from  heaven,    p.  262.

Mat.  12—22  Then  was  brought 
unto  him  one  possessed  with  a 
devil,  blind,  and  dtimb:  and  he 
healed  him,  insomuch  that  the 
blind  and  dtunb  both  spake  and 
saw. 

23  And  all  the  people  were 
amazed,  and  said.  Is  not  this  the 
Son  of  David? 

24  But  when  the  Pharisees  heard 
it,  they  said,  This  fellow  doth  not 
cast  out  devils,  btit  by  Beelzebub 
the  price  of  the  devils. 

25  And  Jesits  knew  their 
thoughts,  and  said  unto  them. 
Every  kingdom  divided  against 
itself  is  brottght  to  desolation; 
and  every  city  or  house  divided 
against  itself  shall  not  stand: 

26  And  it  Satan  cast  out  vSatan,  he 
is  divided  against  himt'«lf ;  how 
shall  then  his  kingdom  stand? 

27  And  if  I  by  Beelzebub  cast 
out  devils,  bv  whom  do  your  chil- 
dren cast  them  out?  therefore 
they  shall  be  your  judges. 

28  But  if  I  cast  out  devils  by  the 
Spirit  of  God,  then  the  kingdom 
of  God  is  come  luito  you. 

Mat.  17—14  And  there  came  to 
Jesus  a  certain  man,  kneeling 
down  to  him,  and  saying, 

15  Lord,  have  mercy  on  my  son ; 
for  he  is  lunatic,  and  sore  vexed : 
for  ofttimes  he  falleth  into  the 
tire,  and  oft  into  the  water. 

16  And  I  brought  him  to  thy 
disciples,  and  they  could  not  cure 
him. 

17  Then  Jesus  answered  and 
said,  O  faithless  and  perverse  gen- 
eration, how  long  shall  I  be  with 
you?  how  long  shall  J  suffer  you? 
bring  him  hither  to  me. 

18  And  Jesus  rebuked  the  devil ; 
and  he  departed  out  of  him:  and 
the  child  was  cured  from  that 
very  hour. 

19  Then  came  the  disciples  to 
Jesus  apart,  and  said,  Why  could 
not  we  cast  him  out? 

20  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Be- 
cause of  your  unbelief:  for  verily 
I  say  xxnto  you.  If  ye  have  faith  as 
a  grain  of  mustard  seed,  ye  shall 
say  unto  this  mountain.  Remove 
hence  to  yonder  place;  and  it 
shall  remove:  and  nothing  shall 
be  impossible  unto  you. 

21  Howbeit  this  kind  goeth  not 
out  but  by  prayer  and  fasting. 

Mat.  16—23  Get  thee  behind  me, 
Satan:  for  thou  savotu-est  not  the 
things  that  be  of  God,  but  those 
that  be  of  men.   p.  508. 


D 

Mar.  5—2  There  met  him  out  of 
the  tombs  a  man  with  an  unclean 
spirit, 

3  Who  had  his  dwelling  among 
the  tombs :  and  no  man  could 
bind  him,  no,  not  with  chains: 

6  But  when  he  saw  Jesus  afar 
off.  he  ran  and  worshipped  him. 

7  And  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
and  said,  What  have  I  to  do  with 
thee,  Jesus,  thou  Son  of  the  most 
liigh  God?  I  adjure  thee  by  God. 
that  tbou  torment  me  not. 

8  (For  he  said  unto  him,  Come  out 
of  the  man,  thou  unclean  spirit.) 

9.  And  he  asked  him,  W  hat  is 
thy  name?  And  he  answered, 
saying.  My  name  is  Legion:  for 
we  are  many. 

10  And  he  besought  him  much 
that  he  would  not  send  them 
away  out  of  the  countiT- 

11  Now  there  was  there  nigh 
unto  the  mountains  a  gi'eat  herd 
of  swine  feeding. 

12  And  all  the  devils  besought 
him.  saying,  Send  us  into  the 
swine,  that  we  may  enter  into 
them. 

13  And  forthwith  Jesus  gave 
them  leave.  And  the  unclean 
spirits  went  out,  and  entered 
into  the  swine;  and  the  herd  ran 
violently  down  a  steep  place  into 
the  sea,  (they  were  about  two 
thousand.)  and  were  choked  in 
the  sea.    Mat.  8. 28. 

Mar.  7—25  For  a  certain  woman, 
whose  young  daughter  had  an  un- 
clean spirit,  heard  of  him,  and 
came  and  fell  at  his  feet : 

26  The  woman  was  a  Greek,  a 
Syrophenician  by  nation ;  and  she 
besought  him  that  he  would  cast 
forth  the  devil  out  of  her  daugh- 
tcr. 

27  But  Jesus  said  unto  her,  Let 
the  children  first  be  filled:  tor  it 
is  not  meet  to  take  the  children's 
bread,  and  to  cast  it  unto  the 
dogs.  ,        ,      . ., 

28  And  she  answered  and  said 
unto  him.  Yes,  Lord ;  yet  the  do^s 
under  the  table  eat  of  the  chil- 
dren's crumbs. 

29  And  he  said  unto  her.  For  this 
saving  go  thy  way;  the  devil  is 
gone  out  of  thy  daughter. 

30  And  when  she  was  come  to 
her  house,  she  found  the  devil 
gone  out,  and  her  daughter  laid 
upon  the  bed. 

Ja.  4—7  Submit  yourselves  there- 
fore to  God.  Resist  he  devil,  and 
he  will  flee  from  you.

Jno.  8—44  Ye  are  of  your  father 
the  devil,  aud  the  lusts  of  your 
father  ye  will  do:  he  was  a  mur- 
derer from  the  begiimiug.  aud 
abode  not  in  the  truth,  because 
there  is  no  truth  in  him.  When 
he  speaketh  a  lie,  he  speaketh  of 
his  own :  for  he  is  a  liar,  and  the 
father  of  it. 

Lu.  8—2  And  certain  women, 
which  had  been  healed  of  evil 
spirits  and  infirmities,Mar>- called 
Magdalene,  out  of  whom  went 
seven  devils, 

3  And  Joanna,  and  Susanna, 
and  many  others. 

Ac.  13—10  O  full  of  subtilty  and 
mischief,  thou  child  of  the  devil. 
p.  528. 

1  Co.— 10  20  But  I  say,  that  the 
things  which  the  Gentiles  sacri- 
fice, they  sacrifice  to  devils,  aud 
not  to  God:  aud  I  would  uot  that 
ye  sliould  have  fellowship  with 
devils. 

21  Ye  cannot  drink  the  cup  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  cup  of  devils:  ye 
cannot  be  partakers  of  the  Lord's 
table,  and  of  the  table  of  devils. 

2  Co.  2—11  Lest  Satan  should  get 
an  advantage  of  us:  for  we  are 
not  ignorant  of  his  devices. 

2  Co.  4—4  The  god  of  this  world 
hath  blinded  the  minds  of  them 
which  believe  not,  lest  the  light 
of  the  glorious  gospel  of  Christ, 
who  is  the  image  of  God,  should 
shine  unto  them. 

2  Co.  6—15  What  concord  hath 
Christ  with  Belial  ?  or  what  part 
hath  he  that  believeth  with  an 
infidel  ? 

2  Co.  11—14  And  no  marvel ;  for 
Satan  himself  is  transformed  into 
an  angel  of  light. 

Ep.  4—26  Be  ye  angiy,  and  sin 
not :  let  not  the  sun  go  down  upon 
your  wrath : 

27  Neither  give  place  to  the  devil. 

Ep.  6 — 11  Put  on  the  whole  arm- 
our of  God,  that  ye  may  be  able  to 
stand  against  the  wiles  of  the 
devil. 

2  Ti.  2—26  And  that  they  may 
recover  themselves  out  of  the 
snare  of  the  devil,  who  are  taken 
captive  by  him  at  his  will. 

He.  2—14  That  through  death  he 
might  destroy  him  that  had  the 
power  of  death,  that  is,  the  devil. 

Ja.  2 — 19  Thou  believest  that 
there  is  one  God ;  thou  doest  well: 
the  devils  also  believe,  and  trem- 
ble. 


1  Pe.  5— S  Be  .sober,  be  vigilant ; 
because  your  adversary  tlie  devil, 
as  a  roaring  lion,  walketh  about, 
seeking  whom  he  may  devour. 

1  Jno.  3—8  He  that  committeth 
sin  is  of  the  devil ;  for  the  devil 
sinneth  from  the  beginning.  For 
this  purpose  the  Son  of  God  was 
manifested, that  he  mightdestroy 
the  works  of  the  devil. 

Jude  1—9  Yet  Michael  the  arch- 
angel, when  contending  with  the 
devil  he  disputed  about  the  body 
of  Moses,  durst  not  bring  against 
him  a  railing  accusation,  but  said. 
The  Lord  rebuke  thee. 

Re.  2 — 9  I  know  thy  works  and 
tribulation,  and  poverty,  (but  thou 
art  rich)  aud  I  know  the  blas- 
phemy of  them  which  say  they  are 
Jews,  and  are  not,  but  are  the 
synagogue  of  Satan. 

10  Fear  none  of  those  things 
whicli  thou  shalt  suifer:  behold, 
the  devil  shall  cast  some  of  you 
into  prison,  that  ye  may  be  tried ; 
and  ye  shall  have  tribulation  ten 
days:  be  thou  faithful  unto  death, 
and  I  will  give  thee  a  crown  of  life. 

13  I  know  thy  works,  and  where 
thou  dwellest,  even  where  Satan's 
seat  is:  and  thou  boldest  fast  my 
name,  and  hast  uot  denied  my 
faith,  even  in  those  days  wherein 
Antipas  was  my  faithful  martyr, 
who  was  slain  among  you,  where 
Satan  dwelleth.

Re.  12—1  And  there  appeared  a 
great  wonder  in  heaven ;  a  woman 
clothed  with  the  sun,  and  the 
moon  under  her  feet,  and  upon  her 
head  a  crown  of  twelve  stars: 

2  And  she  being  with  child 
cried,  travailing  in  birth,  and 
pained  to  be  delivered. 

3  And  there  appeared  another 
wonder  in  heaven;  and  behold  a 
great  red  dragon,  having  seven 
heads  and  ten  boms,  and  seven 
crowns  upon  his  heads. 


D 


4  And  his  tail  drew  the  third 
part  of  the  stars  of  heaven,  and 
did  cast  them  to  the  earth :  and 
the  dragon  stood  before  the 
woman  which  was  ready  to  be 
delivered,  for  to  devour  her  child 
as  soon  as  it  was  horn. 

5  And  she  brought  forth  a  man 
child,  who  was  to  rule  all  nations 
with  a  rod  of  iron:  and  her  child 
was  caught  up  unto  God,  and  to 
his  throne.  ^    -,  •   ^    ^v. 

6  And  the  woman  fled  into  the 
wilderness,  where  she  hath  a  place 
prepared  of  God,  that  they  should 
feed  her  there  a  thousand  two 
hundred  and  threescore  days. 

7  And  there  was  war  in  heaven : 
Michael  and  his  angels  fought 
against  the  dragon ;  and  the 
dragon  fought  and  his  angels. 

8  And  prevailed  nof.  neither 
was  their  place  fotmd  any  more 
in  heaven. 

9  And  the  great  dragon  was  cast 
out,  that  old  serpent,  called  the 
Devil,  and  Satan,  which  deceiv- 
eth  the  whole  world :  he  was  cast 
out  into  the  earth,  and  his  angels 
were  cast  out  with  him. 

10  And  I  heard  a  loud  voice  say- 
ing in  heaven,  Now  isconie  salva- 
tion, and  the  kingdom  of  our  God, 
and  the  power  of  his  Christ:  for 
the  accuser  of  our  brethren  is  cast 
down,  which  accused  them  before 
our  God  day  and  night. 

11  And  they  overcame  him  by 
the  blood  of  the  Lamb,  and  hy 
the  word  of  their  testimony ;  and 
they  loved  not  their  lives  unto 
the  death. 

12  Therefore  reioice,  ye  heavens, 
and  ye  that  dwell  in  them.  Woe 
to  the  inhabiters  of  the  earth  and 
of  the  sea!  for  the  devil  is  come 
down  unto  you,  having  great 
wrath,  because  he  knoweth  that 
he  hath  but  a  short  time, 

13  And  when  the  dragon  saw 
that  he  was  cast  imto  the  earth, 
he  persecuted  the  woman  which 
brought  forth  the  man  child.  . 

14  And  to  the  woman  were  giv- 
en two  wings  of  a  great  eagle, 
that  she  might  fly  into  the  wil- 
derness, into  her  place,  where  she 
is  nourished  for  a  time,  and 
times,  and  half  a  time,  from  the 
face  of  the  serpent. 

15  And  the  serpent  cast  out  of 
his  mouth  water  as  a  flood  after 
the  woman,  that  he  might  cause 
her  to  be  carried  away.

16  And  the  earth  helped  tlie 
woman;  and  the  earth  openec. 
her  mouth,  and  swallowed  up  the 
flood  which  the  dragon  cast  out. 

17  And  the  dragon  was  wroth 
with  the  woman,  and  went  to 
make  war  with  the  remnant  ot 
her  seed,  which  keep  the  com- 
mandments of  God.  and  have  the 
testimony  of  Jesus  Christ. 


The  two  Beasts  and  the  Dragon. 

Re.  13—1  And  I  stood  upon  the 
sand  of  the  sea,  and  saw  a  beast 
rise  up  out  of  the  sea,  having 
seven  neads  and  ten  horns,  and 
upon  his  horns  ten  crowns,  and 
upon  his  heads  the  name  of  blas- 
phemy. ,  .   ,   X 

2  And  the  beast  which  I  saw  was 
like  unto  a  leopard,  and  his  feet 
were  as  the  feet  of  a  bear,  and  his 
mouth  as  the  mouth  of  a  lion:  and 
the  dragon  gave  him  his  power, 
and  his  seat,  and  great  authority. 

3  And  I  saw  one  of  his  heads  as 
it  were  wounded  to  death;  and 
his  deadly  wound  was  healed: 
and  all  the  world  wondered  after 
the  beast. 

4  And  they  worshipped  the 
dragon  which  gave  power  unto 
the  beast:  and  they  worshipped 
the  beast,  saying,  Who  is  like  un- 
to the  beast?  who  is  able  to  make 
war  with  him?  . 

5  And  there  was  given  unto  him 
a  mouth  speaking  great  things 
and  blasphemies;  and  power  was 
given  unto  him  to  continue  forty 
and  two  months. 

6  And  he  opened  his  mouth  in 
blasphemv  against  God.  to  blas- 
pheme his  name,  and  his  taber- 
nacle, and  them  that  dwell  in 
heaven.  .  ,  .     ^ 

7  And  it  was  given  unto  him  to 
make  war  with  the  saints,  and  to 
overcome  them:  and  power  was 
given  him  over  all  kindreds,  and 
tongues,  and  nations. 

8  And  all  that  dwell  upon  the 
earth  shall  worship  him,  whose 
names  are  not  written  in  the 
book  of  life  of  the  Lamb  slam 
from  the  foundation  of  the 
world.  ,      ,     ,  .   ^         ^.   .. 

10  He  that  leadeth  into  captivity 
shall  go  into  captivity:  he  that 
killeth  with  the  sword  must  be 
killed  with  the  sword.  Here  is 
the  patience  and  the  faith  of  the 
saints. 


11  And  I  beheld  another  beast 
coming  up  out  of  the  earth ;  and 
he  had  two  horns  like  a  lamb,  and 
he  spake  as  a  dragon. 

12  And  he  exerciseth  all  the 
power  of  the  first  beast  before 
him,  and  causeth  the  earth  and 
them  which  dwell  therein  to  wor- 
ship the  first  beast,  whose  deadly 
wound  was  healed. 

13  And  he  doeth  great  wonders, 
so  that  he  maketh  fire  come  down 
from  heaven  on  the  earth. 

14  And  deceiveth  them  that 
dwell  on  the  earth  by  the  means 
of  those  miracles  which  he  had 

Eower  to  do  in  the  sight  of  the 
east;  saying  to  them  that  they 
should  make  an  image  to  the 
beast,  which  had  the  wound  by 
a  sword,  and  did  live. 

15  And  he  had  power  to  give 
life  unto  the  image  of  the  beast, 
that  the  image  of  the  beast  should 
both  speak,  and  cause  that  as 
many  as  would  not  worship  the  im- 
age of  the  beast  should  be  killed. 

IC  And  he  causeth  all,  both  small 
and  great,  rich  and  poor,  free  and 
bond,  to  receive  a  mark  in  their 
right  hand,  or  in  their  foreheads: 

17  And  that  no  man  might  buy 
or  sell,  save  he  that  had  the  mark, 
or  the  name  of  tlie  beast,  or  the 
number  of  his  name.. 

18  Here  is  wisdom.  Let  him  that 
hath  understanding  count  the 
number  of  the  beast :  for  it  is  the 
number  of  a  man;  and  his  number 
is  Six  hundred  threescore  and  six.

dust  of  Jacob,  and  the  number  of 
the  fourth  part  of  Israel?  Let  me 
die  the  death  of  the  righteous, 
and  let  my  last  end  be  like  his! 

Ju.  6—31  Will  ye  plead  for  Baal? 
will  ye  save  him?  he  that  will 
plead  for  him,  let  him  be  put  to 
death  whilst  it  is  yet  mornnig. 

1  Sa.  20—3  But  truly,  as  the  Lord 
liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth, 
there  is  but  a  step  between  me 
and  death. 

2  Sa.  14—14  For  we  must  needs 
die,  and  are  as  water  spilt  on  the

up  again. 

Ru.  1—16  And  Ruth  said  to 
Naomi,  Entreat  me  not  to  leave 
thee,  or  to  return  from  following 
after  thee :  for  whither  thou  goest, 
I  will  go ;  and  where  thou  lodgest, 
I  will  lodge:  thy  people  shall  be 
my  people,  and  thy  God  my  God: 

17  vVhere  thou  diest,  will  I  die, 
and  there  will  I  be  buried:  the 
Lord  do  so  to  me,  and  more  also, 
if  aught  but  death  part  thee  and 
me. 

22  So  Naomi  returned,  and  Ruth 
the  Moabitess,  her  daughter  in 
law,  with  her,  which  returned  out 
of  the  coiuitry  of  Moab:  and  they 
came  to  Beth-lehem  in  the  begin- 
ning of  barley  harvest.

Job  21—23  One  dieth  in  his  full 
strength,  being  wholly  at  ease  and 
quiet. 

24  His  breasts  are  full  of  milk, 
and  his  bones  are  moistened  with 
marrow. 

25  And  another  dieth  in  the  bit- 
terness of  his  soul,  and  never  eat- 
eth  with  pleasure.

ungodly  men  made  me  afraid,

Ps.  6—1 0  Lord,  deliver  my  soul . 
oh  save  me  for  thy  mercies  sake. 

5  For  in  death  there  is  no  re- 
mem  brauce  of  thee:  in  the  grave 
who  shall  give  thee  thanks .? 

Pro  5-23  He  shall  die  without 
instruction :  and  in  the  gi-eatness 
of  his  folly  he  shall  go  astray.  .

Ec  4—2 1  praised  the  dead  which 
are  already  dead,  more  than  the 
living  which  are  yet  alive. 

Ec.  7—17  Be  not  over  niuch 
wicked,  neither  be  thou  foolish: 
why  shouldest  thou  die  before  thy 

^Ec.'9— 5  For  the  living  know 
that  they  shall  die:  but  the  dead 
know  not  any  thing,  neither  have 
they  any  more  a  reward ;  tor  the 
memory  of  them  is  forgotten. 

Je.  8—3  And  death  shall  be 
chosen  rather  than  life  by  all  the 
residue  of  them  that  remain  of 
this  evil  family.  . 

Je.  9—21  For  death  is  come  up 
into  our  windows,  and  is  entered 
into  our  palaces,  to  cut  oil  the 
children  from  without,  and  the 
young  men  from  the  streets. 

Je.  15—2  Thus  saith  the  Lord; 
Such  as  are  for  death,  to  death ; 
such  as  are  for  the  sword,  to  the 
sword ;  such  as  are  for  the  famine, 
to  the  famine ;  and  such  as  are  for 
the  captivity,  to  the  captivity. 

Eze.  28—10  Thou  shalt  die  the 
deaths  of  the  micircumcised  by 
the  hand  of  strangers:  fori  have

Eze.  18—32  For  I  have  no  pleas- 
ure in  the  death  of  him  that

Jno.  8—51  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you.  If  a  man  keep  my  say- 
ing, he  shall  never  see  death. 

Mat.  16—28  Verily  I  say  unto  you. 
There  be  some  standing  here, 
which  shall  not  taste  of  death,

Lu.  24—5  And  as  they  were 
afraid,  and  bowed  down  their 
faces  to  the  earth,  they  said  unto 
them.  Why  seek  ye  the  living 
among  the  dead  ?  p.  522. 

Jno.  12—24  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you.  Except  a  corn  ot  wheat 
fall  into  the  ground  and  die,  it 
abideth  alone:  but  if  it  die.  it 
briugeth  forth  much  fruit.

Is.  25—8  He  will  swallow  up 
death  in  victory;  and  the  Lord 
will  wipe  away  tears  from  off  all 
faces;  and  the  rebuke  of  his  people 
shall  he  take  away  from  off  all  the 


earth :  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it.

children  are  partakers  of  flesh  and 
blood,  he  also  himself  likewise 
took  part  of  the  same;  that 
through  death  he  might  destroy 
him  that  had  the  power  of  death, 
that  is,  the  devil ;         ,  ,

Ge.  1—1  In  the  beginning  God 
created  the  heaven  and  the 
earth. 

2  And  the  earth  was  without 
form,  and  void ;  and  darkness  was 
upon  the  face  of  the  deep.  And 
the  Spirit  of  God  moved  upon  the 
face  of  the  waters. 

3  And  God  said.  Let  there  be 
light:  and  there  was  light. 

4  And  God  saw  the  light,  that 
it  was  good:  and  God  divided  the 
light  from  the  darkness. 

5  And  God  called  the  light  Day, 
and  the  darkness  he  called  Night. 
And  the  evening  and  the  morning 
were  the  first  day. 

Ex.  10—21  And  the  Lokd  said 
unto  Moses,  Stretch  out  thine 
hand  toward  heaven,  that  there 
may  be  darkness  over  the  land  of 
Egypt,  even  darkness  which  may 
be  felt.    p.  156. 

Is.  5—20  Woe  unto  them  that 
call  evil  good,  and  good  evil ;  that 
put  darkness  for  light,  and  light 
for  darkness;  that  put  bitter  for 
sweet,  and  sweet  for  bitter ! 


30  And  if  one  look  unto  the 
laud,  behold  darkness  and  sorrow ; 
and  the  light  is  darkened  in  the 
heavens  thereof. 

Is.  45—7  I  form  the  light,  and 
create  darkness:  I  make  peace, 
and  create  evil:  I  the  Lokd  do  all 
these  things. 

Is.  59—9  Therefore  is  judgment 
far  from  us,  neither  doth  justice 
overtake  us:  we  wait  for  light, 
but  behold  obscurity ;  for  bright- 
ness, but  we  walk  in  darkness. 

Is.  60—2  Behold,  the  darkness 
shall  cover  the  earth,  and  gross 
darkness  the  people.

afar  off,  and  Moses  drew  near 
unto  the  thick  darkness  where 
God  was.    p.  46. 

Ps.  18-9  He  bowed  the  heavens 
also,  and  came  down:  and  dark- 
ness was  under  his  feet. 

10  And  he  rode  upon  a  cherub, 
and  did  tiy :  yea,  he  did  fly  upon 
the  wings  of  the  wind. 

II  He  made  darkness  his  secret 
place;  his  pavilion  round  about 
him  were  dark  waters  and  thick 
clouds  of  the  skies.  2  Sa.  22.  10,

evil,  thy  whole  body  shall  be  full 
of  darkness.  If  there  fore  the  light 
that  is  in  thee  be  darkness,  how 
great  is  that  darkness! 

Mat.  22—13  Then  said  the  king 
to  the  servants,  Bind  him  hand 
and  foot,  and  cast  him  into  outer 
darkness;  there  shall  be  weeping 
and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

14  For  many  are  called,  but  few 
are  chosen,    p.  451.

profitable  servant  into  outer  dark- 
ness: there  shall  be  weeping  and 
gnashing  of  teeth,    p.  447. 

Mat.  27—45  From  tiie  sixth  hour 
there  was  darkness  over  the  land 
unto  the  ninth  hour.    p.  518. 

Lu.  12—3  Therefore,  whatsoever 
ye  have  spoken  in  darkness  shall 
be  heard  in  the  light;  and  that 
which  ye  have  spoken  in  the  ear 
in  closets  shall  be  proclaimed 
upon  the  housetops.

2  And  on  the  seventh  day  Goa 
ended  his  work  which  he  had 
made:  and  he  rested  on  the  sev- 
enth day  from  all  his  work. 

3  And  God  blessed  the  seventh 
day,  and  sanctified  it:  because 
that  in  it  he  had  rested  from  all 
his  work.    See  Ex.  20.  8,  9, 10, 11,  p. 

^''ex.  31-12  And  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Moses,  saying.  ,.,,^^„  „f

slmll  keep:  for  it  isa  sign  between 
me  and  you  throughout  your  gen- 
erations; that  ye  may  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord  that  doth  sanctify 

^'iiYe  shall  keep  the  sabbath

Sybe  put  to  death:  for  who- 
soever doeth  any  work  therem,

among  his  people. 

15  Srx  days  may  work  be  done , 
but  in  the  seventh  is  the  sabbath 
of  rest,  holy  to  the  Lord:  whoso- 
ever doeth  any  work  in  the  sab-

*°lf  Wherefore  the  children  of 
Israel  shall  keep  the  sabbath 
throughout  their  generations,  for 
a  perpetual  covenant.  , 

17  It  is  a  sign  between  me  and 
the  children  of  Israel  for  ever:  for

enth day  he  rested,  and  was  re-

Ex.  35—2  Six  days  shall  work  be 
done,  but  on  the  seventh  day  there 
shall  be  to  you  a  holy  day,  a  sab- 
bath of  rest  to  the  Lord:  whoso- 
ever doeth  work  therein  shall  be 
put  to  death. 

3  Ye  shall  kindle  no  tire  through- 
out your  habitations  upon  the  sab- 
bath day.  Es,  20.  8,  p.  46. 

Le.  23—3  Six  days  shall  work  be 
done:  but  the  seventh  day  is  the 
sabbath  of  rest,  a  holy  convoca- 
tion ;  ye  shall  do  no  work  therein : 
it  is  the  sabbath  of  the  Lord  in 
all  your  dwellings. 

Is.  58—13  If  thou  turn  away  thy 
foot  from  the  sabbath,  from  doing 
thy  pleasure  on  my  holy  day;  and 
call  the  sabbath  a  delight.the  holy 
of  the  Lord, honourable ;  and  shalt 
honour  him,  not  doing  thine  own 
ways,  nor  finding  thine  own  pleas- 
ure.norspeaking'thineown  words: 

14  Then  shalt  thou  delight  thy- 
self in  the  Lord;  and  I  will  cause 
thee  to  ride  upon  the  high  places 
of  the  earth,  and  feed  thee  with 
the  heritage  of  Jacob  thy  father: 
for  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  hath 
spoken  it.  Is.  56.  3-8. 

Mar.  2—27  And  he  said  unto 
them,  The  sabbath  was  made  for 
man^nd  not  man  for  the  sabbath : 

28  Therefore  the  Son  of  man  is 
Lord  also  of  the  sabbath.  See  Mat. 
12,  p.  54,  55,  and  Lu.  13.  11,  p.  454. 

Lu.  14—1  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
he  went  into  the  houseof  one  of  the 
chief  Pharisees  to  eat  bread  on  the 
sabbath  day,  that  they  watched 
him. 

2  And,  behold,  there  was  a  cer- 
tain man  before  him  which  had 
the  dropsy. 

3  And  Jesus  answering  spake 
unto  the  lawyers  and  Pharisees, 
saying,  Is  it  lawful  to  heal  on  the 
.sabbath  day? 

4  And  they  held  their  peace. 
And  he  took  him,  and  healed  him, 
and  let  him  go; 

5  And  answered  them,  saying. 
Which  of  you  shall  have  an  ass  or 
an  ox  fallen  into  a  pit,  and  will 
not  straightway  pull  him  out  on 
the  sabbath  day  ? 

6  And  they  could  not  answer 
him  again  to  these  thmgs. 

Jno.  7—23  If  a  man  on  the  sab- 
bath day  receive  circumcision, 
that  the  law  of  Moses  should  not 
be  broken;  are  ye  angry  at  me, 
because  I  have  made  a  man  every 
whit  whole  on  the  sabbath  day  ? 


THE  LORDS  DAY. 

Re.  1—10  I  was  in  the  Spirit  on 
the  Lord's  day,  and  heard  behind 
me  a  great  voice,  as  of  a  trumpet, 

11  Saying,  I  am  Alpha  and  Ome^ 
ga,  the  first  and  the  last. 

Collections  ordered  to  be  taken 
up  in  the  churches  on  the  sabbath 
day.  See  also  Ac.  6.  l  and  11,  29; 
Ro.  15.  26;  2  Co.  8. 1  and  9.  l. 

1  Co.  16—1  Now  concerning  the 
collection  for  the  saints,  as  I  have 
given  order  to  the  churches  of 
Galatia,  even  so  do  ye. 

2  Upon  the  first  day  of  the  week 
let  evei"y  one  of  you  lay  by  him 
in  store,  as  God  hath  prospered 
him,  that  there  be  no  gatherings 
when  I  come. 

Sabbath,  changed  from  seventh 
to  first  day  of  the  week  to  com- 
memmorate  Christ's  resurrection. 
See  Mat.  28.  l ;  Mar.  16.  2, 9;  Jno.  20. 
1,  19,  26,  p.  520,  521,  519. 

Day  of  Atonement,  A  Sabbath 
of  Rest. 

Le.  23—26  And  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Moses,  saying, 

27  Also  on  the  tenth  day  of  this 
seventh  month  there  shall  be  a 
day  of  atonement:  it  shall  be  a 
holy  convocation  unto  you;  and 
ye  shall  afflict  your  souls,  and 
offer  an  offering  made  by  tire  unto 
the  Lord. 

28  And  ye  shall  do  no  work  in 
that  .same  day :  for  it  is  a  day  of 
atonement,  to  make  an  atone- 
ment for  you  before  the  Lord 
your  God. 

29  For  whatsoever  soul  it  be  that 
shall  not  be  afflicted  in  that  same 
day,  he  shall  be  cut  off  from 
among  his  people. 

30  And  whatsoever  soul  it  be  that 
doeth  any  work  in  that  same  day, 
the  same  soul  will  I  destroy  from 
among  his  people. 

31  Ye  shall  do  no  manner  of 
work :  it  shall  be  a  statute  for  ever 
throughout  your  generations  in  all 
your  dwellings. 

32  It  shall  be  unto  you  a  sabbath 
of  rest,  and  ye  shall  afflict  your 
souls:  in  the  ninth  day  of  the 
month  at  even,  from  even  unto 
even,  shall  ye  celebrate  your  sab- 
bath.

D 

5  Only  if  thou  carefully  heark- 
en unto  the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy 
God,  to  observe  to  do  all  these 
commandments  which  I  com- 
mand thee  this  day.    p.  13. 

Ne.  13—15  In  those  days  saw  I 
(Nehemiah)  in  Judah  some  tread- 
ing winepresses  on  the  sabbath, 
and  bringing  in  sheaves,  and  lad- 
ing asses;  as  also  wine,  grapes, 
and  figs,  and  all  manner  of  bur- 
dens, which  they  brought  into 
Jerusalem  on  the  sabbath  day: 
and  I  testified  agauist  them  in  the 
day  wherein  they  sold  victuals. 

16  There  dwelt  men  of  Tyre  also 
therein,  which  brought  fish,  and 
all  manner  of  ware,  and  sold  on 
the  sabbath  unto  the  children  of 
Judah,  and  in  Jerusalem. 

17  Then  I  contended  with  the 
nobles  of  Judah,  and  .said  unto 
them,  What  evil  thing  is  this  that 
ye  do,  and  profane  the  sabbath 
day? 

18  Did  not  your  fathers  thus, 
and  did  not  our  God  bring  all  this 
evil  upon  us,  and  upon  tliiscity? 
yet  ye  bring  more  wrath  upon 
Israel  by  profanuig  the  sabbath. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
the  gates  of  Jerusalem  began  to 
be  dark  before  the  sabbath,  I  com- 
manded that  the  gates  should  be 
shut,  and  charged  that  they 
should  not  be  opened  till  after  the 
sabbath:  and  some  of  my  servants 
set  I  at  the  gates,  that  there 
should  no  burden  be  brought  in 
on  the  sabbath  day. 

20  So  the  merchants  and  sellers 
of  all  kind  of  ware  lodged  with- 
out Jerusalem  once  or  twice. 

21  Then  I  testified  against 
them,  and  said  imto  them.  Why 
lodge  ye  about  the  wall?  If  ye  do 
so  agam,  I  will  lay  hands  on  you. 
From  that  time  forth  came  they 
no  more  on  the  sabbath. 

22  And  I  commandeth  the  Le- 
vites,  that  they  should  cleanse 
themselves,  and  that  they  should 
come  and  keep  the  gates,  to  sanc- 
tify the  sabbath  day.  Remember 
me,  O  my  God,  concerning  this 
also,  and  spare  me  accordmg  to 
the  greatness  of  thy  mercy. 

Stoned  to  death  for  gathering 
sticks  on  the  sabbath  day. 

Nu.  1.5—32  And  while  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  were  in  the  wilder- 
ness, they  found  a  man  that  gath- 
ered sticks  upon  the  sabbath  day. 


69 


33  And  they  that  found  him 
gathering  sticks  brought  him 
unto  Moses  and  Aai-on,  and  unto 
all  the  congregation. 

34  And  tliey  put  him  in  ward, 
because  it  was  not  declared  what 
should  be  done  to  him. 

35  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, The  man  shall  be  surely  put 
to  death:  all  the  congregation 
shall  stone  him  with  stones  with- 
out the  camp. 

36  And  all  the  congregation 
brought  him  without  the  camp, 
and  stoned  him  with  stones,  and 
he  died :  as  the  Lord  commanded 
Moses. 

Hezekiah's  life  lengthened  fif- 
teen years.    See  also  Is.  38. 

2  Ki  20—1  In  those  days  was 
Hezekiah  sick  unto  death.  And 
the  prophet  Isaiah  the  son  of 
Amoz  came  to  him,  and  said  unto 
him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Set 
thine  house  in  order;  for  thou 
shalt  die,  and  not  live. 

2  Then  he  turned  his  face  to  the 
wall,  and  prayed  imto  the  Lord, 
saying, 

3  I  oeseech  thee,  O  Lord,  re- 
member now  how  I  have  walked 
before  thee  in  truth  and  with  a 
perfect  heart,  and  have  done  that 
which  is  good  in  thy  sight.  And 
Hezekiah  wept  sore. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  afore  Isa- 
iah was  gone  out  into  the  middle 
court,  that  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  him,  saying, 

5  Turn  again,  and  tell  Hezekiah 
the  captain  of  my  people.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  the  God  of  David 
thy  father,  I  have  heard  thy  pray- 
er, I  have  seen  thy  tears:  behold, 
I  will  heal  thee :  on  the  third  day 
thou  Shalt  go  up  unto  the  house 
of  the  Lord. 

6  And  I  will  add  unto  thy  days 
fifteen  years;  and  I  will  deliver 
thee  and  this  city  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  king  of  Assyria ;  and  I  will 
defend  this  city  for  mine  own 
sake,  and  for  my  servant  David's 
sake. 

7  And  Isaiah  said.  Take  a  lump 
of  figs.  And  they  took  and  laid  it 
on  the  boil,  and  he  recovei'ed. 

8  H  And  Hezekiah  said  unto  Isa- 
iah, What  shall  be  the  sign  that 
the  Lord  will  heal  me,  and  that  I 
shall  go  up  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord  the  third  day?

9  Aud  Isaiah  said.Thissigii  shalt 
thou  have  of  the  Lord,  shall  the 
shadow  go  forward  teu  degrees, 
or  go  back  teu  degreesl 

10  And  Hezekiah  auswered.  It 
is  a  light  thing  for  the  shadow  to 
go  dowu  ten  degrees:  nay,  but  let 
the  shadow  return  backward  ten 

degrees.  ,        .    ,        ^     ,.i,„

2  Pe.  3—8  Be  not  ignorant  of  this 
cue  thing,  that  one  day  is  with

how  frail  I  am. 

5  Behold,  thou  hast  made  m>

Is.  13—6  IT  Howl  ye ;  for  the  day  of 
the  Lord  is  at  hand ;  it  shall  come 
as  a  destruction  from  the  Al- 
mighty. 

7  Therefore  shall  all  hands  be 
faint,  and  every  man's  heart  shall 
melt: 

8  And  they  shall  be  afraid :  pangs 
and  sorrows  shall  take  hold  of 
them;  they  shall  be  in  pain  as  a 
woman  that  travaileth :  they  shall 
be  amazed  one  at  another;  theii' 
faces  shall  be  as  flames. 

9  Behold,  the  day  of  the  Lord 
Cometh,  ci'uel  both  with  wrath 
and  tierce  anger,  to  lay  the  land 
desolate:  and  lie  shall  destroy  the 
sinners  thereof  out  of  it. 

10  For  the  stars  of  heaven  and 
the  constellations  thereof  shall 
not  give  their  light:  the  sun  shall 
be  darkened  in  his  going  forth, 
and  the  moon  shall  not  cause  her 
light  to  shine. 

11  And  I  will  punish  the  world 
for  their  evil,  and  the  wicked  for 
their  iniquity;  and  I  will  cause 
the  aiTogancy  of  the  proud  to 
cease,  and  will  lay  low  the  haugh- 
tiness of  the  terrible. 

12  I  will  make  a  man  more 
precious  than  fine  gold;  even  a 
man  than  the  golden  wedge  of 
Ophir. 

13  Therefore  I  will  shake  the 
heavens,  and  the  earth  shall  re- 
move out  of  her  place,  in  the 
wrath  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and 
in  the  day  of  his  fierce  auger. 

Jo.  2—1  Blow  ye  the  trumpet  in

gloominess,  a  day  of  clouds  and

10  The  earth  shall  quake  before 
them ;  the  heavens  shall  tremble : 
the  smi  and  the  moon  shall,  be 
dark,  and  the  stars  shall  with- 
draw their  shining : 

11  And  the  Lord  shall  utter  his 
voice  before  his  army:  for  his 
camp  is  very  great:  for  he  is 
strong  that  executeth  his  word: 
for  the  day  of  the  Lord  is  great 
and  very  terrible ;  and  who  can

in  the  midst  of  Israel,  and  that  1 
am  the  Lord  your  God,  and  none 
else:  and  my  people  shall  never 
be  ashamed. 

28  H  And  it  shall  come  to  pass 
afterward,  that  I  will  pour  out  my 
Spirit  upon  all  flesh;  and  yoiir 
sons  and  your  daughters  shall 
prophesy,  your  old  men  shall 
dream  dreams,  your  young  men 
shall  see  visions: 

29  And  also  upon  the  servants 
and  upon  the  handmaids  in  those 
days  will  I  pour  out  my  Spirit.    . 

30  And  I  will  shew  wonders  m 
the  heavens  and  in  the  earth, 
blood,   and   fire,   and  pillars    ol 

31  The  sun  shall  be  turned  into 
darkness,  and  the  moon  into 
bloodi  before  the  great  and  the 
terrible  day  of  the  Lord  come. 

32  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
whosoever  shall  call  on  the  name 
of  the  Lord  shall  be  delivered: 
for  in  mount  Zion  and  m  Jerusa- 
lem shall  be  deliverance,  as  the 
Lord  hath  said,  and  in  the  rem- 
nant whom  the  Lord  shall  call. 

Zep.  1—14  The  great  day  of  the 
Lord  is  near,  it  is  near,  and  hast- 
eth  greatly,  even  the  voice  of  the 
day  of  the  Lord  :  the  mighty  man 
shall  cry  there  bitterly. 

15  That  day  is  a  day  of  wrath,  a 
day  of  trouble  and  distress,  a  day 
of  wasteness  and  desolation,  a  day 
of  darkness  and  gloominess,  a  day 
of  clouds  and  thick  darkness, 

16  A  day  of  the  trumpet  and 
alarm  against  the  fenced  cities, 
and  against  the  high  towers. 


17  And  I  wUlbrmg  distress  upon 
men,  that  they  shall  walk  like 
blind  men,  because  they  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord:  and 
their  blood  shall  be  poured  out  as 
dust,  and  their  flesh  as  the  dung. 

18  Neither  their  silver  nor  their 
gold  shall  be  able  to  deliver  them 
in  the  day  of  the  Lord  s  wrath ; 
but  the  whole  land  shall  be  de- 
voured by  the  fire  of  hisgealousy. 

Jo.  3-1  For.  behold,  m  those 
days,  and  in  that  tune,  when  1 
shall  brmg  again  the  captivity  of 
Judali  and  Jerusalem, 

2  I  will  also  gather  all  nations, 
and  will  bring  them  down  into  the 
valley  of  Jehoshaphat,  and  will 
plead  with  them  there  for  my  peo- 
ple and  for  my  heritage  Israel, 
whom  they  have  scattered  among 
the  nations,  and  parted  my  land. 

3  And  they  have  cast  lots  for  my 
people;  and  have  given  a  boy. for 
a  harlot,  and  sold  a  girl  for  wme, 
that  they  might  drink. 

9  U  Proclaim  ye  this  among  the 
Gentiles;  Prepare  war,  wake  up 
the  mighty  men,  let  all  the  men 
of  war  draw  near. 

10  Beat  your  ploughshares  mto 
swords,  and  your  prmiinghooks

12  Let  the  heathen  be  wakened, 
and  come  up  to  the  .valley  of  Je-

judge  all  the  heathenroimd  about. 

14  Multitudes  in  the  valley  of 
decision :  for  the  day  of  the  Lord 
is  near  in  the  valley  of  decision. 

15  The  sun  and  the  moon  shau 
be  darkened,  and  the  stars  shan 
withdraw  their  shining. 

16  The  Lord  also  shivll  roar  out 
of  Zion,  and  utter  his  voice  from 
Jerusalem ;  and  the  heavens  and 
the  earth  shall  shake.

Nu.  12—6  Hear  now  my  words: 
If  there  be  a  prophet  among  you, 
I  the  Lord  will  make  myself 
known  unto  him  in  a  vi.sion,  and 
will  speak  unto  him  in  a  dream, 
p.  3.56. 

De.l3— 1  If  there  arise  among  you 
a  prophet,  or  a  dreamer  of  dreams, 
and  giveth  thee  a  sign  or  a  wonder, 

2  And  the  sign  or  the  wonder 
come  to  pass,  whereof  he  spake 
luito  thee,  saying.  Let  us  go  after 
other  gods,  which  thou  hast  not 
known,  and  let  us  serve  them ; 

3  Thou  shalt  not  hearken  unto 
the  words  of  that  prophet,  or  that 
dreamer  of  dreams:  tor  the  Lord 
your  God  proveth  you,  to  know 
whether  ye  love  the  Lord  your 
God  with  all  your  heart  and  with 
all  your  soul. 

4  Ye  shall  walk  after  the  Lord 
your  God,  and  fear  him,  and  keep 
his  commandments,  and  obey  his 
voice,  and  ye  shall  serve  him,  and 
cleave  unto  him. 

5  And  that  prophet,  or  that 
dreamer  of  dreams,  shall  be  put  to 
death ;  because  he  hath  spoken  to 
turn  you  away  from  the  Lord 
your  God,  which  brought  you  out 
of  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  re- 
deemed you  out  of  the  house  of 
bondage,  to  thrust  thee  out  of  the 
v/ay  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
commanded  thee  to  walk  in.  So 
shalt  thou  put  the  evil  away  from 
the  midst  of  thee. 

Job  33—14  For  God  speaketh 
once,  yea  twice,  yet  man  perceiv- 
eth  it  not. 

15  In  a  dream,  in  a  vision  of  the 
night,  when  deep  sleep  falleth  up- 
on men,  in  slumoeriugs  upon  the 
bed; 

16  Then  he  openeth  the  ears  of 
men, and  sealeth  their  instruction. 


Job.  7—14  Then  thou  scarest  me 
with  dreams,  and  terrihest  me 
through  visions. 

Ec.  fr— 3  For  a  dream  cometh 
througk  the  multitude  of  busi- 
ness; and  a  fool's  voice  is  known 
by  multitude  of  words. 

7  For  in  the  multitude  of  dreams 
and  many  words  there  are  also 
divers  vanities :  but  fear  thou  God. 

Je.  23—28  The  prophet  that  hath 
a  di'eam,  let  him  tell  a  dream; 
and  he  that  hath  my  word,  let 
him  speak  my  word  faithfully. 
What  is  the  chaff  to  the  wheat  ? 
saith  the  Lord. 

32  Behold,  I  am  against  them 
that  prophesy  false  dreams,  saith 
the  Lord,  and  do  tell  them,  and 
cause  my  people  to  err  by  thek 
lies.  p.  227. 

Da.  1—17  God  gave  them  knowl- 
edge 6,ud  skill  in  all  learning  and 
wisdom:  and  Daniel  had  mider- 
standing  in  all  visions  and  dreams. 

Jude  1—8  Likewise  also  these 
filthy  dreamers  defile  the  flesh, 
despise  dominion,  and  speak  evil 
of  dignities.  < 

DEACONS. 

1  Ti.  3—8  Likewise  must  the 
deacons  be  grave,  not  double- 
tongued,  not  given  to  much  wine, 
not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre; 

9  Holding  the  mystery  of  the 
faith  in  a  pure  conscience. 

10  And  let  these  also  first  be 
proved;  then  let  them  use  the 
office  of  a  deacon,  being  found 
blameless. 

11  Even  so  must  their  wives  be 
grave,  not  slanderers,  sober,  faith- 
lul  in  all  things. 

12  Let  the  dieacons  be  the  hus- 
bands of  one  wife,  ruling  their 
children  and  their  own  houses 
well. 

13  For  they  that  have  used  the 
olHce  of  a  deacon  well  purchase 
to  themselves  a  good  degree,  and 
great  boldness  in  the  faith  which 
is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

Phi.  1—1  Paul  and  Timotheus, 
the  servants  of  .Jesus  Christ,  to  all 
the  saints  in  Christ  .Jesus  which

^' Job  2-12  And  Job's  three  friends 
when  they  lifted  up  their  eyes

lifted  up  their  voice,  and  wept ,

receive  you,  nor  hear  you  when

against  them.  Verily  I  say  unto

jqo  7_i6  Jesus  answered  them, 
and  said,  My  doctrine  is  not  mme. 
but  his  that  sent  me. 

17  If  any  man  will  do  his  will, 
he  shall  know  of  the  doctrine, 
whether  it  be  of  God.  or  whether 
I  speak  of  myself.  .  ♦i„^„9 

1  Co  14—26  How  is  It.  brethren? 
when  ye  come  together,  every  one 
of  you  hath  a  psalm,  hath  a  doc- 
trine, hath  a  revelation,  hath  an 
interi)retation.  Let  all  thmgs  be 
done  imto  edifying.   .  „v-^ti^ 

1  Ti  4—1  Now  the  Spirit  speaketh 
expressly,  that  in  the  latter  times 
some  shafl  depart  from  the  faith, 
giving  heed  to  seducmg  spurts, 
1  and  doctrines  of  devils. 


2  Ti.  4—3  For  the  time  will  come 
when  they  will  not  endure  sound 
doctrine ;  hut  after  their  own  lusts 
shall  they  heap  to  themselves 
teachers,  having  itching  ears. 

Tit.2— 1  Butspeakthouthe  things 
which  become  sound  doctrine. 

He.  13—9  Be  not  earned  about 
with  divers  and  strange  doctrines: 
for  it  is  a  good  tiling  that  the  heart 
be  established  with  grace ; 

2Juo.  1— 9  Whosoever  transgres- 
seth,  and  abideth  not  in  the  doc- 
trine of  Christ,  hath  not  God.  He 
that  abideth  in  the  doctrine  of 
Christ,  he  hath  both  the  Father 
and  the  Son. 

10  If  there  come  any  unto  you, 
and  bring  not  this  doctrine,  re- 
ceive him  not  into  your  house, 
neither  bid  him  God  speed : 

11  For  he  that  biddeth  him  God 
speed  ispartakerof  his  evil  deeds. 

Re.  2 — 15  So  hast  thou  also  them 
that  hold  the  doctrine  of  the  Nico- 
laitans,  which  thing  I  hate. 

Ro.  16—17  Now  I  beseech  you, 
brethren,  mark  them  which  cause 
divisions  and  offences  contrary  to 
the  doctrine  which  ye  have 
learned :  and  avoid  them. 

1  Co.  1—10  Now  I  beseech  you, 
brethren,  by  the  name  of  oiu"  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  that  ye  all  speak  the 
same  thing,  and  that  there  be  no 
divisions  among  you ;  but  that  ye 
be  perfectly  joined  together  in  the 
same  mind  and  in  the  same  judg- 
ment. 

1  Co.  11—18  For  first  of  all.  when 
ye  come  together  in  the  church,  1 
hear  that  there  be  divisions 
among  you ;  and  I  partly  believe  it. 

DOVES.  See  also  Noah's  Dove,

1  and  5.  12  and  6.  9,  p.  172,  173. 

Is.  38—14  Like  a  crane  or  a  swal- 
low, so  did  I  chatter:  I  did  mourn 
as  a  dove:  mine  eyes  fail  with 
looking  upward:  O  Lord,  I  am 
oppressed ;  undertake  for  me. 

Ps.  55—6  And  I  said.  Oh  that  I 
had  wings  like  a  dove!  for  then 
would  I  By  awav,  and  be  at  rest. 

Ps.  68—13  Though  ye  have  lain 
among  the  pots,  yet  shall  ye  be  as 
the  wmgs  of  a  dove  covered  with 
silver,  and  her  feathers  with  yel- 
low gold.

Ps.  74—19  O  deliver  not  the  soul 
of  thy  turtledove  unto  the  multi- 
tude of  the  wicked :  forget  not  the 
congregation  of  thy  poor  for  ever. 

SS.  2—14  O  my  dove,  that  art  in 
the  clefts  of  the  rock,  let  me  see 
thy  coiuitenance,  let  me  hear  thy 
voice ;  for  sweet  is  thy  voice,  and 
thy  countenance  is  comely,   p.  172. 

Na.  2—7  And  Huzzab  shall  be 
led  away  captive,  she  shall  be 
brought  up,  and  her  maids  shall 
lead  Tier  as  with  the  voice  of  doves, 
tabering  upon  their  breasts. 

Jno.  1—32  And  John  bare  record, 
saying,  I  saw  the  Spirit  descending 
from  heaven  like  a  dove,  and  it 
abode  upon  him. 

DOGS.  See  also  Ex.  11.  7,  p.  157;

Ki.  21  and  22 ;  and  2  Ki.  9,  p.  373-375. 

De.  23—18  Thou  Shalt  not  bring 
the  hire  of  a  whore,  or  the  price  of 
a  dog,  into  the  house  of  the  Lord 
thy  God  for  any  vow:  for  even 
both  these  are  abomination  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God.    p.  438. 

1  Sa.  24—14  After  whom  is  the 
king  of  Israel  come  out?  after 
whom  dost  thou  pursue?  after  a 
dead  dog,  after  a  flea. 

2  Sa.  3—8  Then  was  Abner  very 
wroth  for  the  words  of  Ish-bosheth, 
and  said.  Am  I  a  dog's  head? 

2  Sa.  9—8  What  is  thv  servant, 
that  thou  shouldest  look  upon 
such  a  dead  dog  as  I  am? 

Job  30—1  But  now  they  that  are 
younger  than  I  have  me  in  deri- 
sion, whose  fathers  I  would  have 
disdained  to  have  set  with  the 
dogs  of  my  flock,    p.  386. 

Ps.  22—16  For  dogs  have  com- 
passed me:  the  assembly  of  the 
wicked  have  inclosed  me:  they 
pierced  my  hands  and  my  feet. 

20  Deliver  my  soul  from  the 
sword;  my  darling  from  the 
power  of  the  dog. 

Ps.  68—23  That  thy  foot  may  be 
dipped  in  the  blood  of  thine  ene- 
mies, and  the  tongue  of  thy  dogs 
in  the  same. 

Pro.  26—11  As  a  dog  retumeth  to 
his  vomit,  so  a  fool  retumeth  to 
his  folly. 

17  He  that  passeth  by  and  med- 
dletli  with  .strife  belonging  not  to 
him,  is  like  one  that  taketn  a  dog 
by  the  ears.

Ec.  9—4  IT  For  to  him  that  is 
ioined  to  all  the  living  there  is 
hope:  for  a  living  dog  is  better 
than  a  dead  lion.  ,  .  ,   . 

Mat.  7—6  Give  not  that  which  is 
holy  unto  the  dogs,  neither  cast 
ye  your  pearls  before  swine,  lest 
they  trample  them  under  their 
feet,  and  tm-n  again  and  rend  you. 

Phi.  3—2  Beware  of  dogs,  beware 
of  evil  workers,  beware  of  the 
concision.  .    , 

2  Pe.  2—22  But  It  IS  happened 
unto  them  according  to  the  true 
proverb.  The  dog  is  turned  to  his 
own  vomit  again;  and.  The  sow 
that  was  washed  to  her  wallowing

Esau,  Thy  dwelling  shall  be  the 
fatness  of  the  earth,  and  of  the 
dew  of  heaven  from  above,  p.  340. 

Job.  8—22  They  that  hate  thee 
shall  be  clothed  with  shame ;  and 
the  dwellingplace  of  the  wicked 
shall  come  to  nought. 

Ps.  49—11  Their  inward  thought 
is,  that  their  houses  shall  continue 
for  ever,  and  their  dwellingplaces 
to  all  generations;  they  call  their 
lands  after  their  own  names. 

Pro.24— 15  Lay  not  wait,0  wicked 
man,  against  the  dwelluig  of  the 
righteous;   spoil   not  his  resting 

1  Co.  4—11  Even  unto  this  pres- 
ent hour  we  both  hunger,  and 
thkst,  and  are  naked,  and  have 
no  certain  dwellingplace. 

Is.  33—16  He  shall  dwell  on  high ; 
his  place  of  defence  shall  be  the 
munitions  of  rocks:  bread  shall  be 
given  him;  his  waters  shall  be 
sure.  p.  133. 

Pro.  12—24  The  hand  of  the  dili- 
gent shall  bear  rule:  but  the 
slothful  shall  be  under  tribute. 

Pro.  21—5  The  thoughts  of  the 
diligent  tend  only  to  plenteous- 
ness;  but  of  every  one  that  is 
hasty  only  to  want. 

Je.  4—20  Destruction  upon  de- 
struction is  cried;  for  the  whole 
land  is  spoiled. 

La.  3 — 47  Fear  and  a  snare  is 
come  upon  us,  desolation  and  de- 
struction. 

Eze.  7—25  Destruction  cometh; 


and  they  shall  seek  peace,  and 
there  shall  be  none. 

Pro.  2—11  Discretion  shall  pre- 
serve thee,  understanding  shall 
keep  thee. 

Is.  62—3  Thou  Shalt  also  be  a 
crown  of  glory  in  the  hand  of  the 
Lord,  and  a  royal  diadem  in  the 
hand  of  thy  God. 

Eze.  21—26  Thus  saith  the  Lord ; 
Remove  the  diadem,  and  take  off 
the  crown:  exalt  him  that  is  low, 
and  abase  him  that  is  high. 

Pro.  22—26  Be  not  thou  one  of 
them  that  strike  hands,  or  of 
them  that  are  sureties  for  debts. 

Mat.  6—12  And  forgive  us  our 
debts,  as  we  forgive  our  debtors. 

1  Ki.  4—25  And  Judah  and  Israel

his  vine  and  under  his  tig  tree, 
from  Dan  even  to  Beer-sheba,  all 
the  days  of  Solomon. 

2  Ki.  9—20  And  the  driving  is 
like  the  driving  of  Jehu;  for  he 
driveth  furiously. 

Ps.  21—11  For  they  intended  evil 
against  thee:  they  imagined  a 
mischievous  device,  which  they 
are  not  able  to  perform. 

Ps,  41—8  An  evil  disease,  say 
they,  cleaveth  fast  unto  him :  and 
now  that  he  lieth  he  shall  rise  up 
no  more. 

Pro.  1—31  They  shall  eat  of  the 
fruit  of  their  own  way,  and  be 
tilled  with  their  own  devices. 

Pro.  13—19  The  desire  accom- 
plished is  sweet  to  the  soul :  but  it 
IS  abomination  to  fools  to  depart 
from  evil. 

Pro.  24—29  Say  not.  I  will  do  so 
to  him  as  he  hath  done  to  me :  I 
will  render  to  the  man  according 
to  his  work.  Le.  24. 19,  p.  188 ;  Lu. 
6.  31 ;  Mat.  7. 12,  p.  197. 

Ob.  1—15  As  thou  hast  done,  it

ward shall  return  upon  thine  own 
head.  ,  ,     , 

Is.  24—16  The  treacherous  deal- 
ers have  dealt  treacherously ;  yea. 
very  treacherously. 

Ac.  24—24  And  after  certain 
days,  when  Felix  came  with  his 
wife  Drusilla,which  was  a  Jewess, 
he  sent  for  Paul,  and  heard  him 
concerning  the  faith  in  Christ. 

2  Pe.  2—10  Presumptuous  are 
they,  self-wiUed,  they  are  not 
afraid  to  speak  evil  of  dignities. 

2  Ti.  4—6  For  I  am  now  ready  to 
be  offered,  and  the  time  of  my 
departure  is  at  hand. 


E 

The  EARTH.  According  to  the 
Bible  the  earth  was  made  by  the 
Lord,  aud  by  him  said  to  be  "  very 
good  "  (Ge.  1.  31,  p.  183).  And  yet 
he  cursed  the  same  earth  tliat  he 
had  made  (Ge.  3. 17,  p.  184).  "  God 
himself  formed  the  earth  and 
made  it;  he  created  it  not  in 
vain"  (Is.  45. 18,  p.  101).  And  Sol- 
omon said,  It  was  to  abide  for  ever 
(Ec.  1.  4,  p.  115).  But  Peter  said  it 
was  to  be  burnt  up  (2  Pe.  3.  10,  p. 
115).  And  Isaiah  tells  us  that  we 
are  to  have  a  new  heaven  and  a 
new  earth.  (Is.  66.  22,  p.  114;  and 
Is.  65.  17-25,  this  page).  Because 
this  earth  is  to  fall  and  not  rise 
again  (Is.  24.  20,  this  page).  St. 
John  claims  that  in  a  vision  he 
saw  the  new  heaven  and  the  new 
earth  (Re.  21  and  22,  p.  36,  37).  See 
also  Ge.  8.  22,  p.  187 ;  Mat.  24.  35,  p. 
488;  Land,  p.  148;  1  Go.  15,  p,  198; 
Zep.  3.  8,  p.  481;  Is.  51.  6,  p.  115; 
Mi.  1.  3,  4,  p.  101 ;  Re.  7. 1,  p.  268. 

Ge.  1—1  In  the  beginning  God 
created  the  heaven  and  the  earth. 

2  And  the  earth  was  without 
form,  and  void ;  and  darkness  was 
upon  the  face  of  the  deep.  And 
the  Spirit  of  God  moved  upon  the 
face  of  the  waters. 

9  And  God  said.  Let  the  waters 
under  the  heaven  be  gathered  to- 
gether unto  one  place,  aud  let  the 
dry  land  appear:  and  it  was  so. 

10  And  God  called  the  dry  land 
Earth ;  and  the  gathering  together 
of  the  waters  called  he  Seas. 

11  And  God  said.  Let  the  earth 
bring  forth  grass,  the  herb  yield- 
ing seed,  and  the  fruit  tree  yield- 
ing fruit  after  his  kind  upon  the 
earth :  and  it  was  so. 

12  And  the  earth  brought  forth 
grass,  and  herb  yiekhng  seed 
after  his  kind,  and  the  tree  yield- 
ing fruit,  whose  seed  was  in  itself, 
after  his  kind :  and  God  saw  that 
it  was  good. 

13  And  the  evening  and  the 
morning  were  the  third  day. 

1  Sa.  2—8  For  the  pillars  of  the 
earth  are  the  Lord's,  and  he  hath 
set  the  world  upon  them. 

Job.  28— 5  As  for  the  earth,  out 
of  it  Cometh  bread :  and  under  it 
is  turned  up  as  it  were  fire. 

6  The  stones  of  it  are  the  place 
of  sapphires:  and  it  hath  dust  of 
gold. 

Job.  38 — i  Where  wast  thou 
when  I  laid  the  foundations  of  the 


77  E 

earth?  declare,  if  thou  hast  un- 
derstanding. 

5  Who  hath  laid  the  measures 
thereof,  if  thou  knowest?  or  who 
hath  stretched  the  line  upon  it? 

6  Whereupon  are  the  founda- 
tions thereof  fastened?  or  who 
laid  the  corner  stone?    p.  388. 

Ps.  24—1  The  earth  is  the  Lord's, 
and  the  fulne.ssthereof ;  the  world, 
and  they  that  dwell  therein. 

2  For  he  hath  founded  it  upon 
the  seas,  and  established  it  upon 
the  floods. 

Ps.  37— 9  Those  thatwaitupon  the 
Lord,  they  shall  inherit  the  earth. 

Is.  24—1  Behold,  the  Lord  mak- 
eth  the  earth  empty,  and  maketh 
it  waste,  and  turneth  it  upside 
down,  and  scattereth  abroad  the 
inhabitants  thereof. 

3  The  land  shall  be  utterly  emp- 
tied, and  utterly  spoiled:  for  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  this  word. 

4Theearthraournethand  fadeth 
away,  the  world  languisheth  and 
fadeth  away,  the  haughty  peo- 
ple of  the  earth  do  languish. 

5  The  earth  also  is  defiled  under 
the  inhabitants  thereof;  because 
they  have  transgressed  the  laws, 
changed  the  ordinance,  broken 
the  everlasting  covenant. 

6  Therefore  nath  the  curse  de- 
voured the  earth,  and  they  that 
dwell  therein  are  desolate :  there- 
fore the  inhabitants  of  the  earth 
are  burned,  aud  few  men  left. 

18  For  the  windows  from  on 
high  are  open,  and  the  founda- 
tions of  the  earth  do  shake. 

19  The  earth  is  utterly  broken 
down,  the  earth  is  clean  dissolved, 
the  earth  is  moved  exceedingly. 

20  The  earth  shall  reel  to  and 
fro  like  a  drunkard,  and  shall  be 
removed  like  a  cottage ;  and  the 
transgression  thereof  shall  be 
heavy  upon  it;  and  it  shall  fall, 
and  not  rise  again. 

Is.  65—17  For.  behold,  I  create 
new  heavens  and  a  new  earth: 
and  the  former  shall  not  be  re- 
membered, nor  come  into  mind. 

18  But  be  ye  glad  and  rejoice  for 
ever  in  that  which  I  create :  for, 
behold.  I  create  Jerusalem  a  re- 
joicing, and  her  people  a  joy. 

19  And  I  will  rejoice  in  Jerusa- 
lem, and  joy  in  my  people:  and 
the  voice  of  weeping  shall,  be  no 
more  heard  in  her. 

20  There  shall  be  no  more  thence 


an  infant  of  days,  nor  an  old  man 
that  hath  not  tilled  his  days:  for 
the  child  shall  die  a  hundred  years 
old ;  but  the  sinner  being  a  hun- 
dred years  old  shall  be  accursed. 

21  And  they  shall  build  houses, 
and  inhabit  them ;  and  plant  vine- 
yards, and  eat  the  fruit  of  them. 

22  They  shall  not  build,  and  an- 
other inhabit;  they  shall  not 
plant,  and  another  eat:  for  as  the 
days  of  a  tree  are  the  days  of  my 
people,  and  mine  elect  shall  long 
enjoy  the  work  of  their  hands. 

23  They  shall  not  labour  ui  vam, 
nor  bring  forth  for  trouble ;  for 
they  are  the  seed  of  the  blessed  ot 
the  Lord,  and  their  oflsprmg 
with  them. 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
before  they  call,  I  will,  ant  wer; 
and  while  they  are  yet  speakmg, 
I  will  hear.  ,    ,     ,      ^    i,  n 

25  The  wolf  and  the  lamb  shall 
feed  together,  and  the  lion  shall 
eat  straw  like  the  bullock:  and 
dust  shall  be  the  serpent's  meat. 

«They  shall  not  hm-t  nor  destroy  m 
all  my  holy  mountain,  saith  the 
Lord.    Is.  11.  6.  p.  469. 

Is.  48—13  Mine  hand  also  hath 
laid  the  foundation  of  the  earth, 
and  my  right  hand  hath  spanned 
the  heavens:  when  I  call  unto 
them,  they  stand  up  together.    . 

Ps.  102—25  Of  old  hast  thou  laid 
the  foundation  of  the  earth:  and 
the  heavens  are  the  work  of  thy 
hands.  They  shall  perish,  but 
thou  Shalt  endui-e.

Lu.  5— '27  And  he  went  forth,  and 
saw  a  publican,  named  Levi,  sit- 
ting at  the  receipt  of  custom :  and 
he  said  vmto  him,  Follow  me. 

28  And  he  left  all,  rose  up.  and 
followed  him. 

29  And  Levi  made  him  a  great 
feast  in  his  own  house:  and  there 
was  a  great  company  of  publicans 
and  of  others  that  sat  down  with 

them.  .,  ,  TIT,     ■ 

30  But  their  Scribes  and  Phari- 
sees murmured  against  his  disci- 
ples, saying.  Why  do  ye  eat  and 
drink  with  publicans  and  smners.-' 

31  And  Jesus  said  unto  them, 
They  that  are  whole  need  not  a 
physician ;  but  they  that  are  sick. 

32  I  came  not  to  call  the  right- 
eous, but  sinners  to  repentance. 

33  And  they  said  unto  him.  Why 
do  the  disciples  of  John  fast  often, 
and  make  prayers,  and  likewise 
the  disciples  of  the  Pharisees;  but 
thine  eat  and  drink? 

34  And  he  said  unto  them,  Can 
ye  make  the  children  of  the  bride- 
chamber  fast,  while  the  bride- 
groom is  with  them? 

35  But  the  days  will  come,  when 
the  bridegroom  shall  be  taken 
away  from  them,  and  then  shall 
thev  fast  in  those  days.

which  is  upon  the  face  of  all  the 
earth,  and  every  tree,  in  the  which 
is  the  fruit  of  a  tree  yielding  seed ; 
to  you  it  shall  be  for  meat. 

30  And  to  every  beast  of  the 
earth,  and  to  every  fowl  of  the 
air.  and  to  every  thing  that  creep- 
eth  upon  the  earth,  wherein  there 
is  life.  I  have  given  every  green 
herb  for  meat :  and  it  was  so.  Ge.

Le.  7—22  And  the  Lord  spake 
imto  Moses,  saying, 

23  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Israel,  saying.  Ye  shall  eat  no 
manner  of  fat,  of  ox,  or  of  sheep, 
or  of  goat. 

24  And  the  fat  of  the  heast  that 
dieth  of  itself,  and  the  fat  of  that 
which  is  torn  with  beasts,  may  be 
used  in  any  other  use ;  but  ye  shall 
in  no  wise  eat  of  it. 

25  For  whosoever  eateth  the  fat 
of  the  beast,  of  which  men  offer 
an  offering  made  by  tire  unto  the 
Lord,  even  the  soul  that  eateth  it 
shall  be  cut  off  from  his  people. 

26  Ye  shall  eat  no  manner  of 
blood,  whether  it  be  of  fowl  or 
of  beast,  in  any  of  your  dwell- 
ings. 

27  Whatsoever  soul  it  be  that 
eatelji  any  manner  of  blood,  even 
that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  his 
people. 

Le.  11—2  These  are  the  beasts 
which  ye  shall  eat  among  all  the 
beasts  that  are  on  the  earth. 

3  Whatsoever  parteth  the  hoof, 
and  is  clovenfooted,and  cheweth 
the  cud,  among  the  beasts,  that 
shall  ye  eat. 

4  Nevertheless, these  shall  ye  not 
eat  of  them  that  chew  the  cud,  or 
of  them  that  divide  the  hoof:  as 
the  camel,  because  he  cheweth 
the  cud,  but  divideth  not  the 
hoof;  he  is  unclean  unto  you. 

5  And  the  coney,  because  he 
cheweth  the  cud^  but  divideth 
not  the  hoof;  he  is  unclean  unto 
you. 

6  And  the  hare,  because  he  chew- 
eth the  cud,  but  divideth  not  the 
hoof ;  he  is  unclean  unto  you. 

7  And  the  swine,  though  he  di- 
vide the  hoof,  and  be  clovenfoot- 
ed,  yet  he  cheweth  not  the  cud ; 
he  is  unclean  to  you. 

8  Of  their  flesh  shall  ye  not  eat, 
and  their  carcass  shall  ye  not 
touch ;  they  are  unclean  to  you. 

9  These  shall  ye  eat  of  all  that 
are  in  the  waters:  whatsoever 
hath  fins  and  scales  in  the  waters, 
m  the  seas,  and  in  the  rivers,  them 
shall  ye  eat. 

10  And  all  that  have  not  fins 
and  scales  in  the  seas,  and  in  the 
rivers,  of  all  that  move  in  the  wa- 
ters, and  of  any  living  thing  which 
is  in  the  waters,  they  shall  be  an 
abomination  unto  you: 

11  They  shall  be  even  an  abom- 
ination unto  you ;  ye  shall  not  eat 


of  their  flesh,  but  ye  shall  have 
their  carcasses  in  abomination. 

12  Whatsoever  hath  no  fins  nor 
scales  in  the  waters,  that  shall  be 
an  abomination  unto  you. 

13  And  these  are  they  which  ye 
shall  have  in  abomination  among 
the  fowls;  they  shall  not  be  eaten, 
they  are  an  abomination :  the  ea- 
gle, and  the  ossifrage,  and  the 
ospray, 

14  And  the  vulture,  and  the  kite 
after  hiskmd; 

15  Every  raven  after  his  kind; 

16  And  the  owl,  and  the  night- 
hawk,  and  the  cuckoo,  and  the 
hawk  after  his  kind, 

17  And  the  little  owl,  and  the 
cormorant,  and  the  great  owl, 

18  And  the  swan,  and  the  peli- 
can, and  the  gier  eagle, 

19  And  the  stork,  the  heron 
after  her  kind,  and  the  lapwing, 
and  the  bat. 

20  All  fowls  that  creep,  going 
upon  all  four,  shall  be  an  abomina- 
tion unto  you. 

21  Yet  these  may  ye  eat  of  every 
flying  creeping  thing  that  goeth 
upon  all  foui',  which  have  legs 
above  their  feet,  to  leap  withal 
upon  the  earth ; 

22  Even  these  of  them  ye  may 
eat ;  the  locust  after  his  kind,  and 
the  bald  locxist  after  his  kind,  and 
the  beetle  after  his  kind,  and  the 
grasshopper  after  his  kind. 

23  But  all  other  flying  creeping 
things,which  have  four  feet,  shall 
be  an  abomination  luito  you. 

24  And  for  these  ye  shall  be  un- 
clean: whosoever  toucheth  the 
carcass  of  them  shall  be  uncleau 
until  the  even. 

25  And  whosoever beareth  aught 
of  the  carcass  of  them  shall  wash 
his  clothes,  and  be  unclean  until 
the  even. 

26  The  carcasses  of  every  beast 
which  divideth  the  hoof,  and  is 
not  clovenfooted,  nor  cheweth  the 
cud,  are  unclean  unto  you:  every 
one  that  toucheth  them  shall  be 
unclean. 

27  And  whatsoever  goeth  upon 
his  paws,  among  all  manner  of 
beasts  that  go  on  all  four,  those 
are  unclean  unto  you:  whoso 
toucheth  their  carcass  shall  be 
unclean  until  the  even. 

28  And  he  that  beareth  the  car- 
cass of  them  shall  wash  his  clothes,, 
and  be  unclean  until  the  even: 
they  are  unclean  unto  you. 


E 

29  These  also  shall  be  unclean 
unto  you  among  the  creeping 
things  that  creep  upon  the  earth ; 
the  weasel,  and  the  mouse,  and 
the  tortoise  after  his  kind, 

30  And  the  ferret,  and  the  cha- 
meleon, and  the  lizard,  and  the 
snailLand  the  mole. 

31  These  are  unclean  to  you 
among  all  that  creep:  whosoever 
doth  touch  them,  when  they  he 
dead,  shall  he  unclean  until  the 
even. 

41  And  every  creeping  thing  that 
creepethupon  the  earth  shall  he  an 
abomination ;  it  shallnot  be  eaten. 

42  Whatsoever  goeth  upon  the 
belly,  and  whatsoever  goeth  upon 
all  four,  or  whatsoever  hath  more 
feet  among  all  creeping  things 
that  creep  upon  the  earth,  them 
ye  shall  not  eat;  for  they  are  an 
abomination. 

46  This  is  the  law  of  the  beasts, 
and  of  the  fowl,  and  of  every  liv- 
ing creatui-e  that  moveth  in  the 
waters,  and  of  every  creature  that 
creepeth  upon  the  earth : 

47  To  make  a  difference  between 
the  imclean  and  the  clean,  and 
between  the  beast  that  may  be 
eaten  and  the  beast  that  may  not 
be  eaten. 

De.  14—21  Ye  shall  not  eat  of  any 
thing  that  dieth  of  itself:  thou 
shalt  give  it  unto  the  stranger  that 
is  in  thy  gates,  that  he  may  eat  it ; 
or  thou  mayest  sell  it  unto  an 
alien:  for  thou  art  a  holy  people 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God.  Thou 
shalt  not  seethe  a  kid  in  his  moth- 
er's milk. 

The  children  of  Israel  fed  on 
manna  (the  bread  of  heaven)  and 
quails  forty  years. 

Ex.  16—1  And  they  took  their 
journey  from  Elim,  and  all  the 
congregation  of  the  children  of 
Israel  came  unto  the  wilderness  of 
Sin,  which  is  between  Elim  and 
Sinai,  on  the  fifteenth  day  of  the 
second  month  after  their  depart- 
ing out  of  the  land  of  Egypt. 

2  And  the  whole  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Israel  nmrmured 
against  Moses  and  Aaron  in  the 
wilderness: 

3  And  the  children  of  Israel  said 
unto  them.  Would  to  God  we  had 
died  by  the  hand  of  the  Lord  in 
the  land  of  Egypt,  when  we  sat 
by  the  flesh  pots,  and  when  we  did 


80  B 

eat  bread  to  the  full ;  for  ye  have 
brought  us  forth  into  this  wilder- 
ness, to  kill  this  whole  assembly 
with  hunger. 

4  Then  said  the  Lord  unto  Mo- 
ses, Behold,  I  will  rain  bread  from 
heaven  for  you;  and  tlie  people 
shall  go  out  and  gather  a  certain 
rate  every  day,  that  I  may  prove 
them,  whether  they  will  walk  in 
my  law,  or  no. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
on  the  sixth  day  they  shall  prepare 
that  which  they  bruig  in ;  and  it 
shall  be  twice  as  much  as  they 
gather  daily. 

(Ps.  105—40  The  people  asked,  and 
he  brought  quails,  and  satisfied 
them  with  the  bread  of  heaven.) 

12  Speak  unto  them,  saying.  At 
even  ye  shall  eat  flesh,  and  ih  the 
morning  ye  shall  be  filled  with 
bread;  and  ye  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord  your  God, 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  at 
even  the  quails  came  up,  and  cov- 
ered the  camp :  and  in  the  morning 
the  dew  lay  roiind  about  the  host. 

14  And  when  the  dew  that  lay 
was  gone  up,  behold,  upon  the 
face  of  the  wilderness  there  lay  a 
small  round  thing,  as  small  as  the 
hoar  frost  on  the  ground. 

15  And  when  the  children  of 
Israel  saw  it,  they  said  one  to  an- 
other. It  is  manna:  for  they  wist 
not  what  it  was.  And  Moses  said 
unto  them, This  is  the  bread  which 
the  Lord  hath  given  you  to  eat. 

16  This  is  the  thing  which  the 
Lord  hath  commanded.  Gather  of 
it  every  man  according  to  his  eat- 
ing, an  omer  for  every  man,  ac- 
cording to  the  number  of  your 
persons;  take  ye  every  man  for 
them  which  are  in  his  tents. 

17  And  the  children  of  Israel  did 
so,  and  gathered,  some  more,  some 
less. 

18  And  when  they  did  mete  it 
with  an  omer,  he  that  gathered 
much  had  nothing  over,  and  he 
that  gathered  little  had  no  lack ; 
they  gathered  every  man  accord- 
ing to  his  eating. 

19  And  Moses  said.  Let  no  man 
leave  of  it  till  the  morning. 

20  Notwithstandingthey heark- 
ened not  unto  Moses;  but  some  of 
them  left  of  it  until  the  morning, 
and  it  bred  worms,  and  stank: 
and  Moses  was  wroth  with  them. 


B 


21  And  they  gathered  it  every 
morning,  every  man  according  to 
his  eating:  and  when  the  sun 
waxed  hot,  it  melted. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on 
the  sixth  day  they  gathered  twice 
as  much  bi-ead,  two  omers  for 
one  man:  and  all  the  rulers  of 
the  congregation  came  and  told 
Moses. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them,  This 
is  that  which  the  Lord  hath  said. 
To  morrow  is  the  rest  of  the  holy 
sabbath  unto  the  Lord:  bake 
that  which  ye  will  bake  to  day, 
and  seethe  that  ye  will  seethe; 
and  that  which  remaineth  over 
lay  up  for  you  to  be  kept  until 
the  morning. 

24  And  they  laid  it  up  till  the 
morning,  as  Moses  bade:  and  it 
did  not  stink,  neither  was  there 
any  worm  therein. 

25  And  Moses  said,  Eat  that  to 
day ;  for  to  day  is  a  sabbath  unto 
the  Lord:  to  day  ye  shall  not 
find  it  in  the  field. 

26  Six  days  ye  shall  gather  it; 
but  on  the  seventh  day,  which  is 
the  sabbath,  in  it  there  shall  be 
none. 

31  And  the  house  of  Israel  called 
the  name  thereof  Manna:  and  it 
was  like  coriander  seed,  white; 
and  the  taste  of  it  was  like  wafers 
made  with  honey. 

32  And  Moses  said,  This  is  the 
thing  which  the  Lord  command- 
eth.  Fill  an  omer  of  it  to  be  kept 
for  your  generations;  that  they 
may  see  the  bread  wherewith  I 
have  fed  you  in  the  wilderness, 
when  I  brought  you  forth  from 
the  land  of  Egypt. 

33  And  Moses  said  unto  Aaron, 
Take  a  pot,  and  put  an  omer  full 
of  manna  therem,  and  lay  it  up 
before  the  Lord,  to  be  kept  for 
your  generations.    He.  9.  4,  p.  49. 

34  As  the  Lord  commanded  Mo- 
ses, so  Aaron  laid  it  up  before  the 
Testimony,  to  be  kept. 

35  And  the  children  of  Israel  did 
eat  manna  forty  years,  until  they 
came  to  a  land  mhabitated :  they 
did  eat  manna,  until  they  came 
mito  the  borders  of  the  land  of 
Canaan.    Jos.  5. 10-12,  p.  169. 

Nu.  11—4  And  the  mixed  multi- 
tude that  was  among  them  fell  a 
lusting:  and  the  children  of  Is- 
rael also  wept  again,  and  said. 
Who  shall  give  us  flesh  to  eat? 


81  E 

5  We  remember  the  fish,  which 
we  did  eat  in  Egypt  freely;  the 
cucumbers,  and  the  melons,  and 
the  leeks,  and  the  onions,  and  the 
garlic : 

6  But  now  oiir  soul  is  dried 
away:  thei-e  is  nothing  at  all,  be- 
sides this  manna,  before  our  eyes. 

7  And  the  manna  was  as  corian- 
der seed,  and  the  colour  thereof  as 
the  colour  of  bdellium. 

8  And  the  people  went  about, 
and  gathered  it,  and  ground  it  in 
mills,  or  beat  it  in  a  mortar,  and 
baked  it  in  pans,  and  made  cakes 
of  it:  and  the  taste  of  it  was  as 
the  taste  of  fresh  oil. 

9  And  when  the  dew  fell  upon 
the  camp  in  the  night,  the  manna 
fell  upon  it. 

18  Say  thou  unto  the  people. 
Sanctify  yourselves  against  to 
morrow,  and  ye  shall  eat  flesh:  for 
ye  have  wept  in  the  ears  of  the 
Lord,  saying.  Who  shall  give  iis 
flesh  to  eat?  for  it  was  well  with 
us  in  Egypt :  therefore  the  Lord 
will  give  you  flesh,  and  ye  shall 
eat. 

19  Ye  shall  not  eat  one  day,  nor 
two  days,  nor  five  days,  neither 
ten  days,  nor  twenty  days ; 

20  But  even  a  whole  month,  un- 
til it  come  out  at  your  nostrils, 
and  it  be  loathsome  unto  yoxx:  be- 
cause that  ye  have  despised  the 
Lord  which  is  among  you,  and 
have  wept  before  him,  saying, 
Why  came  we  forth  out  of  Egypt? 

21  And  Moses  said.  The  people, 
among  whom  I  am,  are  six  hun- 
dred thousand  footmen;  and  thou 
hast  said,  I  will  give  them  flesh, 
that  they  may  eat  a  whole 
month. 

22  Shall  the  flocks  and  the  herds 
be  slain  for  them,  to  suffice  them? 
or  shall  all  the  fish  of  the  sea  be 
gathered  together  for  them,  to 
suffice  them? 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, Is  the  Lord's  hand  waxed 
short?  thou  shalt  see  now  whether 
my  word  shall  come  to  pass  unto 
thee  or  not. 

31  IT  And  there  went  forth  a 
wind  from  the  Lord,  and  brought 
quails  from  the  sea,  and  let  them 
fall  by  the  camp,  as  it  were  a  day's 
journey  on  this  side,  and  as  it  were 
a  day's  journey  on  the  other  side, 
round  about  the  camp,  and  as  it 
were  two  cubits  high  upon  the 
face  of  the  earth.

32  And  the  people  stood  up  all 
that  day,  and  all  that  night,  and 
all  the  uextday.and  they  gathered 
the  quails:  he  that  gathered  least 
gathered  ten  homers:  and  they 
spread  them  all  abroad  for  them- 
selves round  about  the  camp. 

33  And  while  the  flesh  was  yet 
between  their  teeth,  ere  it  was 
chewed,  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  the  people, 
and  the  Lord  smote  the  people 
with  a  very  great  plague. 

34  And  he  called  the  name  ot 
that  place  Kibroth-hattaavah :  be- 
cause there  they  buried  the  people 
that  lusted.  ,      .      ^    •,

mamia  upon  them  to  eat.  and 
had  given  them  of  the  com  ot 
heaven.  ,  ,  „     ,    , 

25  Man  did  eat  angels  food :  he 
sent  them  meat  to  the  full. .    r 

26  He  caused  an  east  wind  to 
blow  in  the  heaven:  and  by  his 
power  he  brought    in  the  south 

27  Herauied  flesh  also  upon  them 
as  dust,  and  feathered  fowls  like 
as  the  sand  of  the  sea : 

28  And  he  let  it  fall  in  the  midst 
of  their  camp,  round  about  their 
habitations.  ,  , , 

29  So  they  did  eat,  and  were  well 
filled:  for  he  gave  them  the  ii- own 

30  They  were  not  estranged  from 
their  lust:  but  while  their  meat 
was  yet  in  then-  mouths, 

31  The  wTath  of  (iod  came  upon 
them.and  slew  the  fattest  of  them, 
and  smote  down  the  chosen  men 
of  Israel.  ,      ,  ,  ^

overcometh  will  I  give  to  eat  ot

to  eat  the  flesh  of  their  sons  and 
the  flesh  of  their  daughters,  and 
they  shall  eat  every  one  the  flesh

Eze.  5—5  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God;  This  is  Jerusalem. 

9  And  I  will  do  in  thee  that 
which  I  have  not  done,  and  where- 
imto  I  will  not  do  any  more  the 
like,  because  of  all  thine  abomi-

thee,  and  the  whole  remnant  ot 
thee  will  I  scatter  into  all  the 
winds.  ^ ,.  .,,  ii 

11  Wlierefore,  as  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God  ;  Sm-ely,  because  thou 
hast  defiled  my  sanctuary  with  ail 
thy  detestable  things,  and  with 
all  thine  abominations,  therefore 
will  I  also  diminish  thee ;  neither 
shall  mine  eye  spare,  neither  wiU 
I  have  any  pity. 

12  A  third  part  of  thee  shall 
die  with  the  pestilence,  and  with 
famine  shall  they  be  consume^d.in 
the  midst  of  thee:  and  a  third 
part  shall  fall  by  the  sword  round 
about  thee;  and  I  will  scatter  a 
third  part  into  all  the  winds,  and 

1  will  draw  out  a  sword  alter 
them.  .  ,

complished, and  I  will  cause  niy 
fury  to  rest  upon  them,  and  1 
will  be  comforted:  and  they  shall 
know  that  I  the  Lord  have  spo- 
ken it  in  my  zeal,  when  I  have  ac- 
complished my  fm-y  in  them.    See

2Ki.  6—24  And  it  came  to  pass. 

that  Ben-hadad  king  of  Syria 
gathered  all  his  host,  and  went 
up.  and  besieged  Samaria. 

25  And  there  was  a  great  famine 
in  Samaria:  and.  behold,  they  be- 
sieged it,  until  an  ass's  head  was 
sold  for  fourscore  pieces  of  silver, 
and  the  fourth  part  of  a  cab  of 
dove's  dung  for  five  pieces  of  sil- 
ver.

26  And  as  the  king  of  Israel  was 
passing  by  upon  the  wall,  tliere 
cried  a  woman  unto  him.  saying, 
Help,  my  lord,  O  king. 

27  And  he  said,  If  the  Lord  do 
not  help  thee,  whence  shall  I  help 
thee  ?  out  of  the  bai-nfioor,  or  out 
of  the  winepress  ? 

28  And  the  king  said  unto  her, 
What  aileth  thee  ?  And  she  an- 
swered,This  woman  said  unto  me. 
Give  thy  son,  that  we  may  eat  him 
to  day,  and  we  will  eat  my  son  to 
morrow. 

29  So  we  boiled  my  son.  and  did 
eat  him :  and  I  said  imto  her  on  the 
next  day,Give  thy  sou.thatwemay 
eat  him:  and  she  hath  hid  her 
son. 

30  And  when  the  king  heard  the 
words  of  the  woman,  he  rent  his 
clothes;  and  he  passed  by  upon 
the  wall,  and  the  people  looked, 
and,  behold,  he  had  sackcloth 
within  upon  his  flesh. 

La.  4—10  The  hands  of  the  piti- 
ful women  have  sodden  their  own 
children :  they  were  their  meat  in 
the  destruction  of  the  daughter  of 
my  people. 

"HANDFUL    OF    MEAL    AND 
CRUSE  OF  OIL." 

1  Ki.  17—8  And  the  word  of  the 


Lord  came  unto  him,  saying, 
9  Arise,  get  thee  to  Zaremif 
and  dwell  there:  behold,  I 


ath, 

have 

woman 


commanded    a    widow 
there  to  sustain  thee. 

10  So  he  arose  and  went  to  Za- 
rephath.  And  when  he  came  to 
the  gate  of  the  city,  behold,  the 
widow  woman  was  there  gather- 
ing of  sticks :  and  he  called  to  her, 
and  said.  Fetch  me.  I  pray  thee,  a 
little  water  in  a  vessel,  that  I  may 
drink. 

11  And  as  she  was  going  to  fetch 
it,  he  called  to  her.  and  said. 
Bring  me.  1  pray  thee,  a  morsel  of 
bread  in  thine  hand. 

12  And  she  said,  as  the  Lord  thy 
God  liveth,  I  have  not  a  cake,  but 
a  handful  of  meal  in  a  barrel,  and 
a  little  oil  in  a  cruse :  and,  behold, 
I  am  gathering  two  sticks,  that  I 
may  go  in  and  dress  it  for  me  and 
my  son.that  we  may  eat  it, and  die. 

13  And  Elijahsaid  untoher.Fear 
not ;  go  and  do  as  thou  hast  said : 
but  make  me  thereof  a  little  cake 
first,and  bring  it  unto  m  c.ai  id  after 
make  for  thee  and  for  thy  son. 


E 

14  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  Israel,  The  barrel  of  meal  shall 
not  waste,  neither  shall  the  cruse 
of  oil  fail,  until  the  day  that  the 
Lord  sendeth  rain  upon  the  earth. 

15  And  she  went  and  did  accord- 
ing to  the  saying  of  Elijah:  and 
she,  and  he.  and  her  house,  did  eat 
many  days. 

16  And  the  barrel  of  meal  wasted 
not.  neither  did  the  cruse  of  oil 
fail,  according  to  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  which  lie  spake  by  Elijah, 
p.  398. 

Elisha  heals  the  pottage.  "Death 
in  the  pot."  He  satisfietn  one  hun- 
dred men  with  twenty  loaves. 

2  Ki.  4—38  Elisha  came  to  Gilgal : 
and  there  was  a  dearth  m  the 
land ;  and  the  sons  of  the  prophets 
were  sitting  before  him:  and  he 
said  unto  his  servant.  Set  on  the 
great  pot.  and  seethe  pottage  for 
the  sons  of  the  prophets. 

39  And  one  went  out  into  the 
field  to  gather  herbs,  and  gathered 
wild  gourds  his  lap  full,  and  came 
and  shred  them  into  the  pot  of 
pottage :  for  they  knew  them  not. 

40  So  they  poui-ed  out  for  the 
men  to  eat.  And,  as  they  were 
eating  of  the  pottage,  that  they 
cried  out,  and  said,  O  thou  man  of 
God,  there  is  death  in  the  pot. 
And  they  could  not  eat  thereof. 

41  But  lie  said.Then  bring  meal. 
And  he  cast  it  into  the  pot ;  and 
he  said.  Pour  out  for  the  people, 
that  they  may  eat.  And  there  was 
no  harm  in  the  pot. 

42  And  there  came  a  man.  and 
brought  the  man  of  God  bread, 
twenty  loaves  of  barley,  and  full 
ears  of  corn  in  the  husk.  And  he 
said,  Give  unto  the  people,  that 
they  may  eat. 

43  And  his  servitor  said,  Wliat, 
should  I  set  this  before  a  hundred 
men  ?  He  said  again.  Give  the 
people,  that  they  may  eat:  for 
thus  saith  the  Lord,  They  shall 
eat,  and  shall  leave  thereof. 

44  So  he  set  it  before  them,  and 
they  did  eat,  and  left  thereof. 

Jesus  Chi'ist,  with  twelve  loaves 
of  bread  and  a  few  little  fishes, 
f  eedeth  ninethousand  men,beside 
women  and  children.  "  And  they 
did  eat  and  were  filled."  See  the 
following  and  Mar.  6.  34-44;  Lu.  9.

JESUS  FED  THE  MULTITUDE. 

Mat.  14—15  And  when  it  was 
eveniug,  his  disciples  came  to  him, 
saying,  This  is  a  desert  place,  and 
the  time  is  now  past:  send  the 
multitude  away,  that  they  may  go 
into  the  villages,  and  buy  them- 
selves victuals. 

16  But  Jesus  said.  They  need  not 
depart ;  give  ye  them  to  eat. 

17  And  they  say.  We  have  here 
but  five  loaves,  and  two  tishes. 

19  And  he  commanded  the  mul- 
titude to  sit  down  on  the  grass, 
and  took  the  live  loaves,  and  the 
two  tishes,  and  looking  up  to 
heaven,  he  blessed,  and  brake,  and 
gave  the  loaves  to  his  disciples, 
and  the  disciples  to  the  multitude. 

20  And  they  did  all  eat,  aud  were 
filled:  and  they  took  up  of  the 
fragments  that  remained  twelve 
baskets  full. 

21  And  they  that  had  eaten  were 
about  five  thousand  men,  beside 
women  and  children. 

Mat.  15—32  Jesus  called  his  dis- 
ciples unto  him,  and  said,  I  have 
compassion  on  the  multitiide,  be- 
cause they  continue  with  me  now 
three  days,  and  have  nothing  to 
eat :  and  1  will  not  send  them  away 
fasting,  lest  they  faint  in  the  way. 

33  And  his  disciples  say  luito 
him.  Whence  should  we  have  so 
much  bread  in  the  wilderness,  as 
to  fill  so  great  a  multitude? 

34  And  Jesus  saith.  How  many 
loaves  have  ye?  And  they  said, 
Seven,  and  a  few  little  fishes. 

35  And  he  commanded  the  mul- 
titude to  sit  down  on  the  ground. 

36  And  he  took  the  seven  loaves 
and  the  fishes,  and  gave  thanks, 
and  brake  them,  and  gave  to  his 
disciples,  and  the  disciples  to  the 
multitude. 

37  And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were 
filled:  and  they  took  up  of  the 
broken  meat  that  was  left  seven 
baskets  full. 

38  And  they  that  did  eat  were 
four  thousand  men,  beside  women 
and  children. 

Jno.  6—26  Jesus  answered  them 
and  said.  Verily,  I  say  unto  you. 
Ye  seek  me.  not  because  ye  saw 
the  miracles,  but  because  ye  did 
eat  of  the  loaves,  and  were  filled.

Ne.  8—10  Go  your  way,  eat  the

is  holy  mito  our  Lord. 

Le.  26—26  Ten  women  shall  bake

Ps.  69—21  They  gave  me  also  gall 
for  my  meat;  and  in  my  thirst

Pro.l— 31  Therefore  shall  they  eat 
of  the  fi'uit  of  their  own  way,  and

Pro.  23—1  When  thou  sittest  to 
eat  with  a  ruler,  consider  dili- 
gently what  is  before  thee : 

2  And  put  a  knife  to  thy  throat, 
if  thou  be  a  man  given  to  appetite. 

3  Be  not  desirous  of  his  dainties: 
for  they  are  deceitful  meat. 

Is.  22—13  And  behold  joy  and 
gladness,  slaying  oxen,  and  killing 
sheep,  eating  flesh,  and  druiking 
wine :  let  us  eat  and  drink ;  for  to 
morrow  we  shall  die.

saying.  Arise,  Peter;  slay  and  eat. 

Ro.  14—2  For  one  believeth  that

who  is  weak,  eateth  herbs. 

3  Let  not  him  that  eateth  de- 
spise him  that  eateth  not ;  and  let 
not  him  which  eateth  not  judge 
him  that  eateth:  for  God  hath  re- 
ceived him. 

6  He  that  eateth,  eateth  to  the 
Lord,  for  he  giveth  God  thanks: 
and  he  that  eateth  not,  to  the  Lord 
he  eateth  not,  and  giveth  God 
thanks. 

1  Co.  8—8  Meat  commendeth  us 
not  to  God:  for  neither,  if  we  eat, 
are  we  the  better;  neither  if  we 
eat  not,  are  we  the  worse. 

13  Wherefore,  if  meat  make  my

1  Co.  10—27  If  auy  that  believe 
uot  bid  you  to  a  feast,  and  ye  be 
disposed  to  go;  whatsoever  is  set

tion for  conscience'  sake. 

31  Whether  therefore  ye  eat,  or 
drink,  or  whatsover  ye  do,  do  all 
to  the  gloiT  of  God. 

2  Th.  3—8  Neither  did  we  eat  any 
man's  bread  for  nought;  but 
wrought  night  and  day,  that  we 
might  not  be  chargeable  to  any  of 
you. 

10  For  even  when  we  were  with 
you,  this  we  commanded  you, 
that  if  any  would  uot  work, 
neither  should  he  eat. 

11  For  we  hear  that  there  are 
some  which  walk  among  you  dis- 
orderly, working  uot  at  all,  but 
are  busybodies. 

12  Now  them  that  are  such  we 
command  and  exhort  by  our  Lord

they  work,and  eattheir  own  bread.

Ex.  23—4  If  thou  meet  thine 
enemy's  ox  or  his  ass  going  astray, 
thou  shalt  surely  bring  it  back  to 
him  again. 

22  I  will  be  an  enemy  unto  thine 
enemies,  and  an  adversai-y  unto 
thine  adversaries,    p.  405. 

De.  32 — 41  I  will  render  ven- 
geance to  mine  enemies,  and  will 
reward  them  that  hate  me. 

Mat.5— 43Ye  have  heard  that 
it  hath  been  said.  Thou  shalt  love 
thy  neighbom-,  and  hate  thine 
enemy. 

44  But  I  say  unto  you,  Love  your 
enemies,  bless  them  that  curse 
you,  do  good  to  them  that  hate 
you,  and  pray  for  them  which  de- 
spitef  ully  use  you,  and  persecute 
you; 

45  That  ye  may  be  the  children 
of  your  Father  which  is  in  heav- 
en: for  he  maketh  his  sun  to  rise 
on  the  evil  and  on  the  good,  and 
sendeth  rain  on  the  just  and  on 
the  unjust. 

46  For  if  ye  love  them  which 
love  you,  what  reward  have  ye? 
do  not  even  the  publicans  the 
same? 

47  And  if  ye  salute  your  brethren 
only,  whatdoye  more  than  others? 
do  not  even  the  publicans  so? 

Lu.  6—35  Love  ye  your  enemies. 


£ 

do  good,  and  lend,  hoping  for 
nothing  again ;  and  your  reward 
shall  be  great,  and  ye  shall  be  the 
children  of  the  Highest:  for  he  is 
kind  unto  the  unthankful  and  to 
the  evil. 

Lu.  19—27  But  those  mine  ene- 
mies, which  would  not  that  I 
should  reign  over  them,  bring 
hither,  and  slay  them  before  me.

Pro.  25—21  If  thine  enemy  be 
hungry,  give  him  bread  to  eat; 
and  if  he  be  thirsty,  give  him 
water  to  drink : 

22  For  thou  shalt  heap  coals  of 
fire  upon  his  head,  and  the  Lord 
shall  reward  thee. 

Ro.  12—20  Therefore  if  thine 
enemy  hunger,  feed  him;  if  he 
thirst,  give  liim  drink:  for  in  so 
doing  thou  shalt  heap  coals  of 
fii-e  on  his  head. 

21  Be  not  overcome  of  evil,  but 
overcome  evil  with  good. 

Mi.  7—8  Rejoice  not  against  me, 
O  mine  enemy :  when  I  fall,  I  shall 
arise ;  when  I  sit  in  darkness,  the 
LoKD  shall  be  a  light  unto  me. 

Job  19—11  He  hath  also  kindled 
his  wrath  against  me,  and  he 
counteth  me  unto  him  as  one  of 
his  enemies,    p.  385. 

Ps.  17—8  Keep  me  as  the  apple 
of  the  eye;  hide  me  under  the 
shadow  of  thy  wings, 

9  From  the  wicked  that  oppress 
me,  from  my  deadly  enemies,  who 
compass  me  about. 

Ps.  18-3  I  will  call  upon  the 
Lord:  so  shall  I  be  saved  from 
mine  enemies. 

17  He  delivered  me  from  my 
strong  enemy,  and  from  them 
which  hated  me:  for  they  were 
too  strong  for  me. 

37 1  have  pursued  mine  enemies, 
and  overtaken  them :  neither  did  I 
turn  again  till  they  were  con- 
sumed. 

40  Thou  hast  also  given  me  the 
necks  of  mine  enemies-  that  I 
might  destroy  them  that  hate  me. 

41  They  cried,  but  there  was 
none  to  save  them :  even  unto  the 
Lord,  but  he  answered  them  not. 

48  He  delivereth  me  from  mine 
enemies:  yea,  thou  liftest  me  up 
above  those  that  rise  up  against 
me :  thou  hast  delivered  me  from 
the  violent  man. 

Ps.  61—3  For  thou  hast  been  a 
shelter  for  me,  and  a  strong  tower 
from  the  enemy.

Ps.  35—19  Let  not  mine  enemies 
wrongfully  rejoice  over  me: 
neither  let  them  wink  with  the 
eye  that  hate  me  without  a  caiise.

Pro.  24—17  Rejoice  not  when 
thine  enemy  falleth.  and  let  not

stumbleth:  .  . 

18  Lest  the  Lord  see  it,  and  it 
displease  him,  and  he  turn  away 
his  wi-ath  from  him. 

Pro.  27—4  Wrath  is  cruel,  and 
anger  is  outrageous;  but  who  is 
able  to  stand  before  envy?

friend ;  but  the  kisses  of  an  enemy 
are  deceitful.  ,    , , 

La.  1—9  O  Lord,  behold  my  af- 
fliction: for  the  enemy  hath 
magnitied  himself. 

16  For  these  things  I  weep;  mine 
eye,  mine  eye  runneth  down  with 
water,  because  the  comforter  that 
should  relieve  my  soul  is  far  from 
me :  my  children  are  desolate,  be-

La.  2—16  All  thine  enemies  have

Ja.  3—14  But  if  ye  have  bitter 
en\'ying  and  strife  in  your  hearts,

Ro.  12—9  Abhor  that  which  is

hear  a  word  behind  thee,  saying. 
This  is  the  way,  walk  ye  in  it, 
when  ye  turn  to  the  right  hand, 
and  when  ye  turn  to  the  left. 

Mar.  4—23  If  any  man  have  ears 
to  hear,  let  him  hear.

away  their  ears  from  the  truth, 
and  shall  be  turned  unto  fables.

Is.  56-3  Neither  let  the  son  of 
the  stranger,  that  hath  joined 
himself  to  the  Lord,  speak,  say- 
ing. The  Lord  hath  utterly  sep- 
arated me  from  his  people: 
neither  let  the  eunuch  say,  Be- 
hold, 1  am  a  dry  ti"ee. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  unto 
the  eunuchs  that  keep  my  sab- 
baths, and  choose  the  things  that 
please  me,  and  take  hold  of  my 
covenant ; 

5  Even  unto  them  will  I  give  in 
mine  house  and  within  my  walls 
a  place  and  a  iiaiiie  better  than  of 
sons  and  of  daughters:  I  will  give 
them  an  everlasting  name,  that 
shall  not  be  cut  off. 

6  Also  the  sons  of  the  stranger, 
that  join  themselves  to  the  Lord, 
to  serve  him,  and  to  love  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  to  be  his  servants, 
every  one  that  keepeth  the  sab- 
bath from  polluting  it,  and  taketh 
hold  of  my  covenant ; 

7  Them  will  I  bring  to  my  holy 
mountain,  and  make  them  joyful 
in  my  house  of  prayer:  their  burnt 
offerings  and  sacrifices  shall  be 
accepted  upon  mine  altar;  for 
mine  house  shall  be  called  a  house 
of  prayer  for  all  people. 

8  The  Lord  God  which  gather- 
eth  the  outcasts  of  Israel  saith, 
Yet  will  I  gather  others  to  him, 
besides  tho.se  that  are  gathered. 

Mat.  19—12  There  are  some 
eunuchs,  which  were  so  bom  from 
their  mother's  womb:  and  some 
eunuchs,  which  were  made  eu- 
nuchs of  men:  and  there  be 
eunuchs,  which  have  made  them- 
selves eunuchs  for  the  kingdom 
of  heaven's  sake.  He  that  is 
able  to  receive  it,  let  him  re- 
ceive it.

FOOLS,  FOLLY,  FABLES.  FOR- 
NICATION. See  also  Ro.  l.  24-32, 
p.  439. 

Ps.  14— i  The  fool  hath  said  in 
his  heart.  There  is  no  God. 

Ps.  53—1  The  fool  hath  said  in 
his  heart.  There  is  no  God. 

Ps.  94—8  Understand,  ye  brutish 
among  the  i>eople:  and  ye  fools, 
when  will  ve  be  wise? 

Ps.  107—17  Fools,  because  of  their 
transgression,  and  becau.se  of 
their  iniQuities.  are  afflicted. 

Pro.  1—7  The  fear  of  the  Loei>  is 
the  beginning  of  knowledge:  but 
fools  despi.se  wisdom  and  instruc- 
tion. ,  , 

^2  The  turning  away  of  the  sim- 
ple sliall  slay  them,  the  prosperity 
of  fofjls  shall  destroy  them. 


Pro.  9—6  Forsake  the  foolish,  and 
live ;  and  go  in  the  way  of  under- 
standing. 

Pro.  10—21  The  lips  of  the  right- 
eous feed  many :  but  fools  die  for 
want  of  wisdom. 

23  It  is  as  sport  to  a  fool  to  do 
mischief:  but  a  man  of  under- 
standing hath  wisdom. 

Pro.  11—29  The  fool  shall  be  ser- 
vant to  the  wise  of  heart. 

Pro.  12—15  The  way  of  a  fool  is 
right  in  his  own  eyes:  but  he 
that  hearkeueth  unto  counsel  is 
wise. 

16  A  fool's  wrath  is  presently 
known :  but  a  prudent  man  cover- 
eth  shame. 

Pro.  15—5  A  fool  despiseth  his 
father's  instruction:  but  he  that 
regardeth  reproof  is  prudent. 

14  The  heart  of  him  that  hath  un- 
derstanding seeketh  knowledge: 
but  the  mouth  of  fools  feedeth  on 
foolishness. 

21  Folly  is  joy  to  him  that  is  des- 
titute of  wisdom. 

Pro.  17—7  Excellent  speech  be- 
cometh  not  a  fool:  mucli  less  do 
lying  lips  a  prince. 

10  A  reproof  entereth  more  into 
a  wise  man  than  a  hiiudred  stripes 
into  a  fool. 

12  Let  a  bear  robbed  of  her 
whelps  meet  a  man,  rather  than  a 
fool  in  his  folly. 

16  AVlierefore  is  there  a  price  in 
the  hand  of  a  fool  to  get  wis- 
dom, seeing  he  hath  no  heart  to 
it? 

21  He  that  begetteth  a  fool  doeth 
it  to  his  sorrow :  and  the  father  of 
a  fool  hath  no  joy. 

24  Wisdom  is  before  him  that 
hath  understanding ;  but  the  eyes 
of  a  fool  are  in  the  ends  of  the 
earth. 

28  Even  a  fool,  when  he  holdeth 
his  peace,  is  counted  wise. 

Pro.  18—2  A  fool  hath  no  delight 
in  understanding,  but  that  liis 
heart  may  discover  itself. 

6  A  fool's  lips  enter  into  conten- 
tion, and  his  mouth  calleth  for 
strokes. 

7  A  fool's  mouth  is  his  destruc- 
tion, and  his  lips  are  the  snare  of 
his  soul. 

Pro.  19—29  Judgments  are  pre- 
pared for  scomers,  and  stripes  for 
the  back  of  fools. 

Pro.  20—3  It  is  an  honour  for  a 
man  to  cease  from  strife:  but 
every  fool  will  be  meddling. 

1  Sa.  26—21  Behold,  I  have  played 


92  P 

the  fool,  and  have  erred  exceed- 
ingly. 

Pro.  24— 7.'Wisdom  is  too  high  for 
a  fool:  he  openeth  not  his  mouth 
in  the  gate. 

9  The  thought  of  foolishness  is 
sin:  and  the  scomer  is  an  abom- 
ination to  men. 

Pro.  26—1  As  snow  in  summer, 
and  as  rain  in  harvest,  so  honour 
is  not  seemly  for  a  fool. 

3  A  whip  for  the  horse,  a  bridle 
for  the  ass,  and  a  rod  for  the  fool's 
back. 

4  Answer  not  a  fool  according  to 
his  f  olly,lest  thou  also  be  like  unto 
him. 

5  Answer  a  fool  according  to  his 
folly,  lest  he  be  wise  in  his  own 
conceit. 

6  He  that  sendeth  a  message  by 
the  hand  of  a  fool  cutteth  off  the 
feet,  and  drinketh  damage. 

7  The  legs  of  the  lame  are  not 
equal :  so  is  a  parable  in  the  mouth 
of  fools. 

8  As  he  that  bindeth  a  stone  in 
a  sling,  so  is  he  that  giveth  honour 
to  a  fool. 

9  As  a  thorn  goeth  up  into  the 
hand  of  a  drunkard,  so  is  a  parable 
in  the  mouth  of  fools. 

10  The  great  God  that  fomaed  all 
things  both  rewardeth  the  fool, 
and  rewardeth  transgressors. 

11  As  a  dog  returneth  to  his 
vomit,  so  a  fool  returneth  to  his 
folly. 

Pro.  27—3  A  stone  is  heavy,  and 
the  sand  weighty;  but  a  fool's 
wrath  is  heavier  than  them  both. 

22  Though  thou  shouldest  bray 
a  fool  in  a  mortar  among  wheat 
with  a  pestle,  yet  will  not  nis  fool- 
ishness depart  from  him. 

Pro.  29—11  A  fool  uttereth  all  his 
mind :  but  a  wise  man  keepeth  it 
in  till  afterwards. 

Ec.  5 — t  AMien  thou  vowest  a  vow 
unto  God,  defer  not  to  pay  it;  for 
he  hath  no  pleasure  in  tools. 

Ec.  7—5  It  is  better  to  hear  the 
rebuke  of  the  wise,  than  for  a  man 
to  hear  the  song  of  fools. 

6  For  as  the  crackling  of  thorns 
under  a  pot,  so  is  the  laughter  of 
the  fool:  this  also  is  vanity. 

Ec.  lo— 1  Dead  flies  cause  the 
ointment  of  the  apothecary  to 
send  forth  a  stinking  savoiir:  so 
doth  a  little  folly  him  that  is  in 
reputation  forwisdom  and  honour. 

2  A  wise  man's  heart  is  at  his 
right  hand;  but  a  fool's  heart  at 
his  left.

3  Yea  also,  when  he  that  is  a 
fool  walketh  by  the  way,  his  wis- 
dom faileth  him,  and  he  saith  to 
every  one  that  he  is  a  fool. 

6  Folly  is  set  in  great  dignity, 
and  the  rich  sit  in  low  place. 

12  The  words  of  a  wise  man's 
mouth  are  gracious;  but  the  lips 
of  a  fool  will  swallow  up  himself. 

13  The  beginning  of  the  words 
of  his  moutn  is  foolishness:  and 
the  end  of  his  talk  is  mischievous 
madness. 

14  A  fool  also  is  full  of  words: 
a  man  cannot  tell  wliat  shall  be; 
and  what  shall  be  after  him,  who 
can  tell  him? 

15  The  labour  of  the  foolish 
wearieth  every  one  of  them,  be- 
cause he  knoweth  not  how  to  go 
to  the  city. 

1  Co.  4—10  We  are  fools  for 
Christ's  sake,  but  ye  are  wise  in 
Christ;  we  are  weak,  but  ye  are 
strong ;  ye  are  honourable,  but  we 
are  despised. 

2  Co.  11—16  I  say  again,  Let  no 
man  think  me  a  fool ;  if  otherwise,

FEAR,  AFRAID,  FIGHTING. 

Ge.  15—1  The  Lord  came  unto 
Abram  :in  a  vision,  saying,  Fear 
not,  Abram :  I  am  thy  shield,  and 
thy  exceeding  great  reward. 

2  Ki.  6—16  Fear  not:  for  they 
that  be  with  us  are  more  than 
they  that  be  with  them. 

Job  41—33  Upon  earth  there  is 
not  his  like,  who  is  made  without 
fear.    p.  401. 


Ps.  53—5  There  were  they  in 
gi-eat  fear,  where  no  fear  was. 

Ps.  55—5  Fearfulness  and  trem-

Is.  41—10  Fear  thou  not ;  for  I  am 
with  thee :  be  not  dismayed ;  for  I 
am  thy  God:  I  will  strengthen 
thee ;  yea,  I  will  help  thee ;  yea,  I 
will  uphold  thee  with  the  right 
hand  of  my  righteousness. 

Lu.  12—4  And  I  say  unto  you  my 
friends,  Be  not  afraid  of  them  that 
kill  the  body,  and  after  that  have 
no  more  that  they  can  do. 

5  But  I  will  forewarn  you  whom 
ye  shall  fear:  Fear  him,  which 
after  he  hath  killed  hath  power  to 
cast  into  hell ;  yea,  I  say  unto  you. 
Fear  him. 

Jos.  1—9  Be  strong  and  of  a  good 
courage ;  be  not  afraid,  neither  be 
thou  dismayed :  for  the  Lord  thy 
God  is  with  thee  whithersoever 
thou  goest.    p.  168. 

Job  11—18  And  thou  shalt  be  se- 
cure, because  there  is  hope;  and 
thou  .shalt  take  thy  re.st  in  safety. 

19  Also  thou  shalt  lie  down,  and 
none  shall  make  thee  afraid. 

Ps.  3—6  I  will  not  be  afraid  of 
ten  thousands  of  people,  that  have 
set  themselves  agamst  me. 

Ps.  91—5  Thou  shalt  not  be  afraid 
for  tlie  terror  by  night ;  nor  for  the 
arrow  that  tlieth  by  day ; 

Pro.  3—24  When  thou  liest  down, 
thou  shalt  not  be  afraid :  yea,  thou 
shalt  lie  down,  and  thy  sleep  shall 
be  sweet. 

25  Be  not  afraid  of  sudden  fear, 
neither  of  the  desolation  of  the 
wicked. 

Eze.  2—6  Son  of  man,  be  not 
afraid  of  them,  neither  be  afraid 
of  their  words,  though  briers  and 
thorns  be  with  thee,  and  thou  dost 
dwell  among  scorpions:  be  not 
afraid  of  tlieii'  words,  nor  be  dis- 
mayed at  their  looks,  though  they 
be  a  rebellious  house. 

Ex.  21—12  He  that  smiteth  a 
man,  so  that  he  die,  shall  be 
surely  put  to  death. 

13  And  if  a  man  lie  not  in  wait, 
but  God  deliver  him  into  his 
hand ;  then  I  will  appoint  thee  a 
place  whither  he  shall  flee. 

14  But  if  a  man  come  presumpt- 
uously upon  his  neignbour,  to 
slay  him  with  guile ;  thou  shalt 
take  him  from  mine  altar,  that  he 
may  die.

19  If  he  rise  again,  and  walk 
abroad  upon  his  staff,  then  shall 
he  that  smote  him  be  quit:  only 
he  shall  pay  for  the  loss  of  his 
time,  and  shall  cause  him  to  he

20  And  if  a  man  smite  his  ser- 
vant, or  his  maid,  with  a  rod. 
and  he  die  under  his  hand;  he 
shall  be  surely  punished. 

21  Notwithstanding,  if  he  con-

be  punished :  for  he  is  his  money. 

22  If  men  strive,  and  hurt  a

Je.  1—19  And  they  shall  nght

unto  the  Lord.  Increase  our  faith. 
6  And  the  Lord  said.  If  ye  had 
faith  as  a  grain  of  mustard  seed, 
ye  might  say  unto  this  sycamine 
tree.  Be  thou  plucked  up  by  the 
root,  and  be  thou  planted  in  the 
sea;  and  it  should  obey  you.  bee 
Mat.  17.20,  Mar.  11.22,  p.  216.        . 

Ro  14—1  Him  that  is  weak  m 
the  faith  receive  ye,  but  not  to 
doubtful  disputations. 

22  Hast  thou  faith?  have  it  to 
thyself  before  God.  Happy  is  he 
that  condemneth  not  himself  in 
that  thing  which  he  alloweth. 

2  Co.  13-5  Examine  yourselves, 
whether  ye  be  in  the  faith.

brance the  unfeigned  faith  that  is 
in  thee,  which  dwelt  first  in  tliy 
grandmother  Lois,  and  thy 
mother  Eunice;  and  I  am  per- 
suaded that  in  thee  also.

1  Co.  16— 13  Watch  ye,  stand  fast 
in  the  faith,  quit  you  like  men, 
be  strong.  Let  all  your  things  be 
done  with  charity. 

2  Co.  5—7  For  we  walk  by  faith, 
not  by  sight. 

Ep.  2—8  For  by  grace  are  ye 
saved  through  faith ;  and  that  not 
of  yourselves:  it  is  the  gift  of 
God. 

1  Ti.  6—12  Fight  the  good  fight 
of  faith,  lay  hold  on  eternal  life. 

He.  10—23  Let  us  hold  fa,st  the 
profession  of  our  faith  without 
wavering,    p.  199. 

Ja.  2—14  What  doth  it  profit,  my 
brethren,  though  a  man  say  he 
hath  faith,  and  have  not  works? 
can  faith  save  him?    p.  14. 

18  Yea,  a  man  may  say.  Thou 
hast  faith,  and  I  have  works: 
shew  me  thy  faith  without  thy 
works,  and  I  will  shew  thee  my 
faith  by  my  works. 

20  But  wilt  thou  know,  O  vain 
man,  that  faith  without  works  is 
dead? 

24  Ye  see  then  how  that  by 
works  a  man  is  justified,  and  not 
by  faith  only. 

26  For  as  the  body  without  the 
spirit  is  dead,  so  faith  without 
works  is  dead  also. 

2  Pe.  1—5  Add  to  your  faith  vir- 
tue ;  and  to  virtue,  knowledge ; 

6  And  to  knowledge,  temper- 
ance; and  to  temperance,  pa- 
tience; and  to  patience,  godli- 
ness; 

7  And  to  godliness,  brotherly 
kindness;  and  to  brotherly  kind- 
ness, charity. 

8  For  if  these  things  be  in  you, 
and  abound,  they  make  you  that 
ye  shall  neither  be  barren  nor  un- 
fruitful in  the  knowledge  of  our 
Lord  .Jesus  Christ. 

Ro.5— 1  Therefore  being  justified 
by  faith,  we  have  peace  with  God 
through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ : 

2  By  whom  also  we  have  access 
by  faith  into  this  ^race  wherein 
we  stand,  and  rejoice  in  hope  of 
the  glory  of  God. 

3  And  not  only  so,  but  we  glory 
in  tribulations  also;  knowingthat 
tribulation  worketh  patience ; 

4  And  patience,  experience ;  and 
experience,  hope: 

5  And  hope  maketh  not  asham- 
ed ;  because  the  loveof  God  is  shed 
abroad  in  our  hearts  by  the  Holy 
Ghost  which  is  given  unto  us. 

Job  6—11  What  is  my  strength. 


that  I  should  hope?  and  what  is 
mine  end,  that  1  should  prolong 
my  life? 

20  They  were  confounded  be- 
cause they  had  hoped ;  they  came 
thither,  and  were  ashamed. 

Job  17—15  And  where  is  now  my 
hope?  as  for  my  hope,  who  shall 
see  it? 

Job  19—10  He  hath  destroyed  me 
on  every  side,  and  I  am  gone: 
and  mine  hope  hath  he  removed 
like  a  tree.    p.  385. 

Pro.  13—12  Hope  deferred  mak- 
eth the  heart  sick :  but  when  the 
desire  cometh,  it  is  a  tree  of  life. 

Ro.  8—24  For  we  are  saved  by 
hope :  but  hope  that  is  seen  is  not 
hope :  for  what  a  man  seeth,  why 
doth  he  yet  hope  for? 

25  But  if  we  hope  for  that  we 
see  not,  then  do  we  with  patience 
wait  for  it. 

Ro.  12—12  Rejoicing  iu  hope; 
patient  in  tribulation;  continuing 
instant  in  prayer. 

1  Co.  9—10  He  that  plougheth 
should  plough  in  hope:  and  that 
he  that  thresheth  in  hope  should 
be  partaker  of  his  hope. 

2  Co.  1—7  And  our  hope  of  you 
is  steadfast,  knowing,  tnat  as  ye 
are  partakers  of  the  sufferings, 
so  shall  ye  be  also  of  the  consola- 
tion. 

Gal.  5—5  For  we  through  the 
Spirit  wait  for  the  hope  of  right- 
eousness by  faith. 

1  Co.  13—1  Though  I  speak  with 
the  tongues  of  men  and  of  angels, 
and  have  not  charity,  I  am  be- 
come as  sounding  brass,  or  a  tink- 
ling cymbal. 

2  And  though  I  have  the  gift 
of  prophecy,  and  understand  all 
mysteries,  and  allknowledge ;  and 
though  I  have  all  faith,  so  that  I 
could  remove  mountains,  and 
have  not  charity,  I  am  nothing. 

3  And  though  I  bestow  all  my 

Foods  to  feed  the  poor,  and  though 
give  my  body  to  be  burned,  and 
have  not  charity,  it  profiteth  me 
nothing. 

4  Charity  suffereth  long,  and  is 
kind;  charity  euvieth  not;  char- 
ity vamiteth  not  itself,  is  not 
puffed  up. 

8  Charity  never  faileth;  but 
whether  there  be  prophecies,  they 
shall  fail;  whether  there  be 
tongues.they  shall  cease ;  whether 
there  be  knowledge,  it  shall  van- 
ish away. 


p 

13  And  now  abideth  faith,  hope, 
charity,  these  three;  .but  the 
greatest  of  these  is  chanty. 

1  Co.  14—1  Follow  after  chanty, 
and  desire  spiritual  gifts. 

Col.  3—14  And  above  all  these 
things  put  on  charity,  which  is  the 
bondof  perfectness.         „  ,,  . 

1  Pe.  4—8  And  aboye  all  things 
have  fervent  charity  among  your- 
selves: for  charity  shall  cover  tlie 
multitude  of  sins.

fasted,  say  they,  and  thou  seest 
not*^  wherefore  have  we  ainictea 
our'  soul,  and  thou  takest  no 
knowledge?  Behold,  m  the  day 
of  your  fast  ye  find  pleasui-e,  and 
exact  all  your  labours, 

4  Behold,  ye  fast  for  strife  and 
debate,  and  to  smite  with  the  hst 
of  wickedness:  ye  shall  not  fast 
as  ye  do  this  day,  to  make  your 
voice  to  be  heard  on  high. 

5  Is  it  such  a  fast  that  I  have 
chosen?  a  day  for  a  man  to  afflict 
his  soul?  is  it  to  bow  down  hi.s 
head  as  a  bulrush,  and  to  spreact 
sackcloth  and  ashes  under  him  .■' 
wilt  thou  call  this  a  fast,  and  an 
acceptable  day  to  the  Lord;' 

6  Is  not  this  the  fast  that  I  have 
chosen?  to  loose  the  bands  of 
wickedness,  to  undo  the  heavy 
burdens,  and  to  let  the  oppressed 
go  free,  and  that  ye  break  every 

7  Is  it  not  to  deal  thy  bread  to 
the  hungry,  and  that  thou  briiig 
the  poor  that  are  cast  out  to  thy 
house?  when  thou  seest  the  nar- 
ked, that  thou  cover  him ;  and 
that  thou  hide  not  thyself  from 
thine  own  flesh?  t  r.     ■^^ 

Da.  10—2  In  those  days  I  Daniel 
was  mourning  three  full  weeks. . 

3  I  ate  no  pleasant  bread,  nei- 
ther came  flesh  nor  wine  in  my 
mouth,  neither  did  I  anoint  my- 
self at  all,  till  three  whole  weeks 
were  fulfilled.  , 

Ac.  27—33  And  while  the  day 
was  coming  on,  Paul  besought 
them  all  to  take,  meat,  saying. 
This  day  is  the  fourteenth  day 
that  ye  have  tarried,  and  con- 
tinued fasting,  havmg  taken 
nothing.

Mat.  6—16  When  ye  fast,  be  nbt, 
as  the  hypocrites,  of  a  sad  counte- 
nance: for  they  disfigure  then- 
faces,  that  they  may  appear  unto 
men  to  fast.  Verily  I  say  unto 
vou.  They  have  their  reward.  . 
'  17  But  when  thou  fastest,  anoint 
thine  head,  and  wash  thy  face ; 

18  That  thou  appear  not  unto 
men  to  fast,  but  unto  thy  Father 
which  is  in  secret:  and  thy  Fath- 
er which  seeth  in  secret  shall  re- 
ward thee  openly.

Je.  10—25  Pour  out  thy  fury  upon

and  upon  the  families  that  call

Ps  73—7  Their  eyes  stand  out 
with  fatness:  they  have  more 
than  heart  could  wish. 


De.  32—15  But  Jeshurun  (a  name 

fiveu  to  Israel)  waxed  fat,  and 
icked :  thou  art  waxeu  fat,  thou 
art  grown  thick,  thou  art  covered 
with  fatness ;  then  he  forsook  God 
which  made  him,  and  lightly  es- 
teemed the  Kock  of  his  salvation.

Je.  5—28  They  are  waxen  fat,

your  staff  of  bread. 

Am.  8—11  The  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  I  will  send  a  fam-

J  no.  13-4  Jesus  riseth  from  sup- 
per, and  laid  aside  his  garments; 
and  took  a  towel,  and  girded  him- 
self. 

5  After  that  he  poureth  water 
into  a  basin,  and  began  to  wash 
the  disciples'  feet,  and  to  wipe 
them  with  the  towel. 

6  Then  couieth  he  to  Simon  Pe- 
ter: and  Peter  saith  unto  him. 
Lord,  dost  thou  wash  my  feet  ? 

7  Jesus  answered  and  said,What 
I  do  thou  knowest  not  now;  but 
thou  Shalt  know  hereafter. 

8  Peter  saith  unto  him,  Thou 
Shalt  never  wa.sh  my  feet.  Jesus 
answered  him.  If  I  wash  thee  not, 
thou  hast  no  part  with  me. 

9  Simon  Peter  saith  unto  him. 
Lord,  not  my  feet  only,  but  also 
my  hands  and  my  head. 

10  Jesus  saith,  He  that  is  washed 
needeth  not  save  to  wash  his  feet, 
but  is  clean  every  whit:  and  ye 
are  clean,  but  not  all. 

11  For  he  knew  who  ."should  be- 
tray him;  therefore  said  he,  Ye 
are  not  all  clean. 

12  So  after  he  had  washed  then- 
feet,  and  had  taken  his  garments, 
and  was  set  do«ni  again,  he  said 
unto  them.  Know  ye  what  I  have 
done  to  you '? 

13  Ye  call  me  Master  and  Lord: 
and  ye  say  well ;  for  so  I  am. 

14  If  I  then,  your  Lord  and  Mas- 
ter.have  washed  your  feet ;  ye  also 
ought  to  wash  one  another's  feet.

ample, that  ye  should  do  as  I  have 
done  to  you.

11.  27,  p.  2(X»;  18.  3,  p.  201;  28.  19,  p. 
521 ;  Mar.  16.  15-18,  p.  522 ;  Jno.  6.  40, 
47,  p.  248;  10.  9,  p.  270;  11.  25,  20,  p. 
457;  14.  6,  p.  135,  and  Jno.  3.  9, 12,  p. 
175.  As  to  who  God  is,  or  where  he 
came  from,  or  who  created  him 
(and  we  are  taught  that  all  things 
were  created  by  a  Creator),  we 
know  nothuig  about  him.  We  do 
not  know  that  such  a  being  ever 
did  exist,  and  surely  we  have  no 
proof  of  it.  All  we  do  know  is 
what  we  have  learned  from  the 
doubtful  Biblical  statements  of 
the  Jewish  writers.  Isaiah  said, 
"Before  me  there  was  no  God 
formed,  neither  shall  there  be 
after  me  "  (Is.  43. 10,  p.  lOl).  So  ac- 
cording to  this  there  was  a  time 
when  no  God  existed,  and  a  time 
to  come  when  no  God  will  exist. 
But  Moses  tells  us  in  Ps.  90.  2,  p. 
102,  "Even  from  everlasting  to 
everlasting  thou  art  God."  For  the 
hrst  mention  of  God  see  Ge.  1,  p. 
65;  Kingdom  of  God,  p.  142. 

Ex.  20—3  Thou  Shalt  have  no 
other  gods  before  me.  p.  46. 

Ex.34— 14  Thou  Shalt  worship  no 
other  god:  for  the  Lord,  whose 
uanie  is  Jealous,  is  a  jealous  God. 

De.  4—24  The  Lord  thy  God  is  a 
consuming  tire,  a  jealous  God. 

39  The  Lord  he  is  God  in  heaven 
above,  and  upon  the  earth  be- 
neath: there  is  none  else.  See  De. 
13.  16-18. 

De.  17—2  If  there  be  found 
among  you,  man  or  woman,  that 

3  Hath  gone  and  served  other 
gods,  and  worshipped  them,  either 
the  sun,  or  moon,  or  any  of  the 
host  of  heaven,  which  I  have  not 
commanded ; 

4  And  it  be  told  thee,  and  thou 
hast  heard  of  it,  and  inquired  dili- 
gently, and,  behold,  it  be  true,  and 
the  thing  certain,  that  such  abom- 
ination is  wrought  in  Israel: 

5  Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth

that  man  or  woman,  which  have 
committed  that  wicked  thing, 
unto  thy  gates,  and  shalt  stone 
them  with  stones,  till  they  die. 

De.  7—9  Know  therefore  that  the 
Lord  thy  God,  he  is  God,  the 
faithful  God,  which  keepeth  cov- 
enant and  mercy  with  them  that 
love  him  and  keep  his  command- 
ments to  a  thousand  generations. 

De.  10—17  For  the  Lord  your  God 
is  God  of  gods,  and  Lord  of  lords,  a 
great  God,  a  mighty,  and  a  terri- 
ble, which  regardeth  not  persons, 
nor  taketli  reward. 

20  Thou  shalt  fear  the  Lord  thy 
God;  him  shalt  thou  serve,  and  to 
him  shalt  thou  cleave,  ana  swear 
by  his  name. 

De.  32—39  I,  even  I,  am  he,  and 
there  is  no  god  with  me :  I  kill,  and 
I  make  alive ;  I  wound,  and  I  heal : 
neither  is  there  any  that  can  de- 
liver out  of  my  hand. 

40  For  I  lift  up  my  hand  to 
heaven,  and  say,  I  live  for  ever. 

41  If  I  whet  my  glittering  sword, 
and  mine  hand  take  hold  on  judg- 
ment ;  I  Will  render  vengeance  to 
mine  enemies,  and  will  reward 
them  that  hate  me. 

42  I  will  make  mine  arrows 
drunk  with  blood,  and  my  sword 
shall  devour  flesh ;  and  that  with 
the  blood  of  the  slain  and  of  the 
captives,  from  the  beginning  of 
revenges  upon  the  enemy. 

Is.  33—22  For  the  Lord  is  our 
judge,  the  Lord  is  our  lawgiver, 
the  Lord  is  our  King;  he  will 
save  us. 

Is.  49—23  And  thou  shalt  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord  :  for  they  shall 
not  be  ashamed  that  wait  for  me. 
Is.  46,  p.  279. 

Is.  40—12  Who  hath  measured 
the  waters  in  the  hollow  of  his 
hand,  and  meted  out  heaven  with 
the  span,  and  comprehended  the 
dust  of  the  earth  in  a  measure, 
and  weighed  the  mountains  in 
scales,  and  tlie  hills  in  a  balance? 

13  Who  hath  directed  the  Spirit 
of  the  Lord,  or  being  his  counsel- 
lor hath  taught  him  ? 

Is.  43—3  For  I  am  the  Lord  thy 
God,  the  Holy  One  of  Israel,  thy 
Saviour. 

10  Ye  are  my  witnesses,  saith 
the  Lord,  and  my  servant  whom 
I  have  chosen ;  that  ye  may  know 
and  believe  me,  and  luiderstand 
that  I  am  he :  before  me  there  was 
no  God  formed,  neither  shall 
there  be  after  me. 


11  I,  even  I,  am  the  Lord  ;  and 

beside  me  there  is  no  saviour. 

12  I  have  saved,  and  I  have 
shewed,  when  there  was  no 
strange  god  among  you :  therefore 
ye  are  my  witnesses,  saith  the 
Lord,  that  I  am  God. 

13  Yea,  before  the  day  was  I  am 
he ;  and  there  is  none  that  can  de- 
liver out  of  my  hand :  I  will  work, 
and  who  shall  let  it? 

15  I  am  the  Lord,  your  Holy 
One,  the  Creator  of  Israel,  your 
King. 

Is.  44—6  Thus  saith  the  Lord  the 
King  of  Israel,  and  his  Redeemer 
the  Lord  of  hosts ;  I  am  the  first, 
and  I  am  the  last;  and  besides  me 
there  is  no  God. 

8  Is  there  a  God  besides  me?  yea, 
there  is  no  God ;  I  know  not  any. 

Is.  45—6  That  they  may  know 
from  the  rising  of  the  sun,  and 
from  the  west,  that  there  is  none 
besides  me.  I  am  the  Lord,  and 
there  is  none  else. 

8  Drop  down,  ye  heavens,  ftom 
above,  and  let  the  skies  pour  down 
righteousness :  let  the  earth  open, 
and  let  them  bring  forth  salvation, 
and  let  righteousness  spring  up  to- 
gether; I  the  Lord  have  created 
It. 

9  Woe  unto  him  that  striveth 
with  his  Maker! 

12  I  have  made  the  earth,  and 
created  man  upon  it:  I  nave 
stretched  out  the  heavens,  and  all 
their  host  have  I  commanded. 

18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  that 
created  the  heavens;  God  himself 
that  formed  the  earth  and  made 
it ;  he  hath  established  it,  he  cre- 
ated it  not  in  vain,  he  formed  it  to 
be  inhabited :  I  am  the  Lord,  and 
there  is  none  else.    p.  400. 

Ps.  9—7  The  Lord  shall  endure 
for  ever:  he  hath  prepared  his 
throne  for  judgment. 

8  And  he  shall  judge  the  world 
in  righteousness,  he  shall  minister 
judgment  to  the  people  in  up- 
rightness. 

9  The  Lord  also  will  be  a  refuge 
for  the  oppressed,  a  refuge  in 
times  of  trouble. 

Mi.  1—3  For  the  Lord  cometh 
forth  out  of  his  place,  and  will 
come  down,  and  tread  upon  the 
high  places  of  the  earth. 

4  And  the  momitains  shall  be 
molten  under  him,  and  the  valleys 
shall  be  cleft,  as  wax  before  the 
fire,  and  as  the  waters  that  are 
poured  down  a  steep  place.

that  is  of  a  contrite  and  humble 
spirit,  to  revive  the  spirit  of  the 
Immble,  and  to  revive  the  heart  of 
the  contrite  ones.  Da.  4.  34,  p.  390. 
Is.59— 16  He  sawthat  there  was  no 
man, and  wondered  that  there  was 
no  intercessor:  therefore  his  arm 
brought  salvation  vOito  him;  and 
his  righteousness,it  sustainedhim. 


17  For  he  put  on  righteousness  as 
a  breastplate,  and  a  helmet  of  sal- 
vation upon  his  head ;  and  he  put 
on  the  garments  of  vengeance  for 
clothing,  and  was  clad  with  zeal 
as  a  cloak.  ,.-,-, 

18  According  to  their  deeds,  ac- 
corduigly  he  will  repay,  fury  to 
his  adversaries,  recompense  to  his 
enemies. 

19  So  shall  they  fear  the  name  of 
the  Lord  from  the  west,  and  his 
glorv  from  the  rising  of  the  sun. 
When  the  enemy  shall  come  in 
like  a  flood,  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
shall  lift  up  a  standard  against 
him.  p.  473. 

2  Chr.  15—12  And  they  entered 
into  a  covenant  to  seek  the  Lord 
God  of  their  fathers  with  all  their 
heart  and  with  all  their  soul ; 

13  That  whosoever  would  not 
seek  the  Lord  Godof  Israel  should 
be  put  to  death,  whether  small  or 
great,  whether  man  or  woman. 

14  And  theysware  imto  the  Lord

ing, trumpets,  and  comets. 

15  And  all  Judah  rejoiced  at  the 
oath:  for  thev  had  sworn  with  all 
their  heart,  and  sought  him  with 
their  whole  desire;  and  he  was 
fomid  of  them:  and  the  Lord 
gave  them  rest  round  about.

Father,  which  is  in  heaven. 

22  Many  will  say  to  me  in  that 
day,  Lord,  Lord,  have  we  not 
prophesied  in  thy  name?  and  in 
thy  name  have  cast  out  devils? 
and  in  thy  name  done  many  won- 
derful works? 

23  And  then  will  I  profess  unto 
them,  I  never  knew  you:  depart 
from  me,  ye  that  work  hiiquity.

Hab.  1—12  Art  thou  not  from 
everlasting,  O  Lord  my  (Jod, 
mine  Holy  One?  We  shall  not 
die.  O  Lord,  thou  hast  ordained 
them  for  judgment;  and,  O 
mighty  God,  thou  hast  established 
them  tor  correction. 

13  Thou  art  of  purer  eyes  than 
to  behold  evil,  and  canst  not  look 
on  iniquity:  wherefore  lookest 
thou  upon  them  that  deal  treach- 
erously, and  boldest  thy  tongue 
when  the  wicked  devom-eth  the 
man  that  is  more  righteous  than 
he? 

La.  3—37  Who  is  he  that  saith, 
and  it  cometh  to  pass,  when  the 
Lord  commandeth  it  not? 

38  Out  of  the  mouth  of  the  Most 
High  proceedeth  not  evil  and 
good?

Ro.  11—33  O  the  depth  of  the

knowledge  of  God!  how  unsearch- 
able are  his  judgments,  and  his 
ways  past  finding  out !

mind  of  the  Lord?  or  who  hath

2  Ti.  2—19  Nevertheless  the 
foundation  of  God  standeth  sure,

eth them  that  are  his. 

24  And  the  servant  of  the  Lord 
must  not  strive ;  but  be  gentle  un-

Tit.  1—16  Tliey  profess  that  they 
know  God;  but  in  works  they

and  men,  the  man  Christ  Jesus ;

for  all,  to  be  testified  in  due 
time. 

2  Pe.  3—9  The  Lord  is  not  slack

all  should  come  to  repentance.

came  up  from  Egypt,    p.  418.

O 


Is.  30—27  Behold,  the  name  of  the 
Lord  cometh  from  far.  bunimg 
with  his  anger,  and  the  burden 
thereof  is  heavy:  his  lips  are  full 
of  indignation,  and  his  tongue  as 
a  devouring  fire : 

28  And  his  breath,  as  an  over- 
flowing stream,  shall  reach  to  the 
midst  of  the  neck,  to  sift  the  na- 
tions with  the  sieve  of  vanity :  and 
there  shall  be  a  bridle  in  the  jaws 
of  the  people,  causing  them  to  err. 

30  And  the  Lord  shall  cause  his 
glorious  voice  to  be  heard,  and 
shall  shew  the  lighting  domi  of 
his  arm,  with  the  indignation  ot 
his  auger,  and  with  the  flame  of  a 
devouring  fire,  with  scattermg, 
and  tempest,  and  hailstones. 

Is.  42—13  The  Lord  shal  1  go  forth 
as  a  mighty  man.  he  shall  stir  up 
jealousy  like  a  man  of  war:  he 
shall  cry,  yea,  roar;  he  shall  pre- 
vail against  his  enemies. 

Is.  63—10  They  rebelled,  and 
vexed  his  Holy  Spirit:  therefore 
he  was  turned  to  be  their  enemy, 
and  he  fought  against  them. 

Je.  50—25  The  Lord  hath  opened 
his  armoury,  and   hath  brought 

forth  the  weapons  of  his  indigna- 

Na.  1—2  God  is  jealous,  and  the 
Lord  revengeth;  the  Lord  re- 
vengeth.and  is  furious;  the  Lord 
will  take  vengeance  on  his  adver- 
saries, and  he  reserveth  wi-ath  for 
his  enemies.         ,  , 

3  The  Lord  isslow  to  anger,  and 
great  m  power,  and  will  not  at  all 
acquit  the  wicked :  the  Lord  hath 
his  way  in  the  whirlwind  and  m 
the  storm,  and  the  clouds  are  the 
dust  of  his  feet.      ,  ,    ^       ... 

6  Who  can  stand  before  his  in- 
dignation? and  who  can  abide  in 
the  fierceness  of  his  anger?  his 
fury  is  povired  out  like  hre.  and  the 
rocks  are  thrown  down  by  him.

Ex.  24—1  And  he  said  unto 
Moses,  Come  up  unto  the  Lord, 
thou,  and  Aaron,  Nadab,  and 
Abihu,  and  seventy  of  the  elders 
of  Israel ;  and  worship  ye  atar  oft. 

2  And  Moses  alone  shall  come 
near  the  Lord:  but  they  shall  not 
come  nigh;  neither  shall  the 
people  go  up  with  him. 

9  Then  went  up  Moses,  Aaron. 
Nadab,  Abihu,  and  seventy  of  the 
elders  of  Israel;  ^    ,     -t 

10  And  they  saw  the  God  of  Is- 
rael: and  there  was  mider  his  feet 
as  it  were  a  paved  work  of  a  sap- 
phire stone,  and  as  it  were  the 
body  of  heaven  in  his  clearness. 

11  And  upon  the  nobles  of  the 
children  of  Israel  he  laid  not  his 
hand :  also  they  saw  God,  and  did 
eat  and  drink.  Continued  on  p.  46. 

Ex.  33—13  Now  therefore,  1  pray 
thee,  if  I  have  fomid  grace  in  thy 
sight,  shew  me  now  thy  way.  that 
I  may  know  thee. 

17  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses. I  will  do  this  thing  also  that 
thou  hast  spoken:  for  thou  hast 
found  grace  ui  my  sight,  and  1 
know  thee  by  name. 

18  And  he  said,  I  beseech  thee, 
shew  me  thy  glory.     .,,        .       ., 

19  And  he  said,  I  will  make  all 
my  goodness  pass  before  thee,  and 
I  will  proclaim  the  name  of  the 
Lord  before  thee ;  and  will  be 
gracious  to  whom  I  will  be  gra- 
cious, and  will  shew  mercy  on 
whom  I  will  shew  mercy. 

20  And  he  said.  Thou  canst  not 
see  my  face :  for  there  shall  no 
man  see  me,  and  live. 

21  And  the  Lord  said.  Behold, 
there  is  a  place  by  me,  and  thou 
Shalt  stand  upon  a  rock : 

22  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
while  my  glory  passeth  by,  that  I 
will  put  thee  in  a  cleft  of  the 
rock,  and  will  cover  thee  with  my 
hand  while  I  pass  by : 

23  And  I  will  take  away  mine 
hand,  and  thou  shalt  see  my  back 
parts;   but  my  face  shall  not  be

another  said  on  that  manner.

21  And  there  came  forth  a  spirit, 
and  stood  before  the  Lokd,  and 
said,  I  will  persuade  him. 

22  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
Wherewith?  And  he  said,  I  will 
go  forth,  and  I  will  he  a  lying 
spirit  in  the  mouth  of  all  his 
prophets.  And  he  said,  Thou  shalt 
persuade  him,  and  prevail  also: 
go  forth,  and  do  so. 

23  Now  therefore,  behold,  the 
Lord  hath  put  a  lying  spirit  in 
the  mouth  of  all  these  thy  proph- 
ets, and  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
evil  concerning  thee. 

Job  42—1  Then  Job  answered 
the  Lord,  and  said, 

2  I  know  that  thou  canst  do 
every  thing,  and  that  no  thought 
can  be  withholden  fi'om  thee. 

5  Ihave  heard  of  thee  by  the 
hearing  of  the  ear;  but  now  mine 
eye  seeth  thee.   p.  388. 

Is.  6—1  In  the  year  that  king 
Uzziah  died  I  saw  also  the  Lord 
sitting  upon  a  throne,  high  and 
lifted  up,  and  his  train  filled  the 
temple. 

2  Above  it  stood  the  seraphim : 
each  one  had  six  wings;  with 
twain  he  covered  his  face,  and 
with  twain  he  covered  his  feet, 
and  with  twain  he  did  fly. 

3  And  one  cried  unto  another, 
and  said.  Holy,  holy,  holy,  is  the 
Lord  of  hosts:  the  whole  earth 
is  full  of  his  glory. 

4  And  thCpostsofthedoor  moved 
at  the  voice  of  him  that  cried,  and 
the  house  was  filled  with  smoke. 

5  Then  said  I,  Woe  is  me !  for  I 
am  undone;  because  I  am  a  man 
of  unclean  lips,  and  I  dwell  in  the 
midst  of  a  people  of  miclean  lips: 
for  mine  eyes  have  seen  the  King, 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

Am.  9—1 1  saw  the  Lord  standing 
upon  the  altar:  and  he  said.  Smite 
the  lintel  of  the  door,  that  the 
posts  may  shake:  and  cut  them 
in  the  head,  all  of  them ;  and  I  will 
slay  the  last  of  them  with  the 
sword :  he  that  fleeth  of  them  shall 
not  flee  away,  and  he  that  escap- 
eth  of'them  shall  not  be  delivered. 

2  Though  they  dig  into  hell, 
thence'shall  mine  hand  take  them ; 
though  they  climb  up  to  heaven, 
thence  will  I  bring  them  down: 

3  And  though  tliey  hide  them- 
selves in  the  top  of  Carinel,  I  will 
search  and  take  them  out  thence ; 
and  though  they  be  hid  from  niv 
sight  in  the  bottom  of  the  sea,  I 


thence  will  I  command  the  ser- 
pent, and  he  shall  bite  them: 

4  And  though  they  go  into  cap- 
tivity before  their  enemies.thence 
will  I  command  the  sword,  and  it 
shall  slay  them:  and  I  will  set 
mine  eyes  upon  them  for  evil,  and 
not  for  good. 

Ac.  7—55  But  he,  being  full  of 
the  Holy  Ghost,  looked  up  stead- 
fastly into  heaven,  and  saw  the 
glory  of  (ifod,  and  Jesus  standing 
on  the  right  hand  of  God, 

56  And  said.  Behold,  I  see  the 
heavens  opened,  and  the  Son  of 
man  standing  on  the  right  hand 
of  God. 

57  Then  they  cried  out  with  a 
loud  voice,  and  stopped  their  ears, 
and  ran  upon  him  with  one  ac- 
cord, 

58  And  cast  him  out  of  the  city, 
andstonedhim:  and  thewitnesses 
laid  down  their  clothes  at  a  young 
man's  feet,  whose  name  was  Saul. 

59  And  they  stoned  Stephen, 
calling  upon  God,  and  saying. 
Lord  Jesus,  receive  my  spirit. 

60  And  he  kneeled  down,  and 
cried  with  a  loud  voice.  Lord,  lay 
not  this  sin  to  their  charge.  And 
when  he  had  said  this,  he  fell 
asleep. 

Juo.  1—18  No  man  hath  seen  God 
at  any  time;  the  only  begotten 
Son,  which  is  in  the  bosom  of 
the  Father,  he  hath  declared 
him. 

Jno.  5-37  And  the  Father  him- 
self, which  hath  sent  me,  hath 
borne  witness  of  me.  Ye  have 
neither  heard  his  voice  at  any 
time,  nor  seen  his  shape. 

De.  4—12  And  the  Lord  spake  un- 
to you  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire : 
ye  heard  the  voice  of  the  words, 
but  saw  no  similitude;  only  ye 
heard  a  voice. 

33  Did  ever  people  hear  the 
voice  of  God  speaking  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  fire,  as  thou  hast 
heard,  and  livQ? 

36  Out  of  heaven  he  made  thee 
to  hear  his  voice,  that  he  might 
instruct  thee:  and  upon  earth  he 
shewed  thee  his  great  fire;  and

Abraham,  unto  Isaac,  and  unto 
Jacob,  by  the  name  of  God  Al- 
mighty; but  by  my  name  JEHO- 
VAH was  I  not  known  to  them. 

Is.  26—4  Trust  ye  in  the  Lord 
forever:  for  in  the  Lord  JEHO- 
VAH is  everlasting  strength. 

De.  33—26  There  is  none  like 
unto  the  God  of  Jeshurun  (a  name 
given  to  Israel)  who  rideth  upon 
the  heaven  in  thy  help,  and  in  his 
excellency  on  the  sky. 

27  The  eternal  God  is  thy  refuge, 
and  underneath  are  the  everlast- 
ing arms. 

Ps.  68 — 4  Sing  unto  God,  sing 
praises  to  his  name:  extol  him 
that  rideth  upon  the  heavens  by 
his  name  JAH. 

Ps.  111—9  He  sent  redemption 
unto  his  people:  he  hath  -com- 
manded his  covenant  forever: 
holy  and  reverend  is  his  name. 

Is.  40—28  The  everlasting  God, 
the  Lord,  the  Creator  of  the  ends 
of  the  earth,  fainteth  not,  neither 
is  weary. 

Ho.  2—16  And  it  shall  be  at  that 
day,  saith  the  Lord,  that  thou 
shalt  call  melslii;.and  shalt  call 
me  no  more  Baali. 

Mar.  14—36  Jesus  said,  Abba,  Fa- 
ther, all  things  are  possible  unto 
thee ;  take  away  this  cup  from  me : 
nevertheless,  not  what  I  will,  but 
what  thou  wilt.    p.  513.

eternal,  immortal,  invisible,  the 
only  wise  God,  be  honour  and 
glory  for  ever  and  ever.    Ameu. 


Trinity  of  persons  in  the  God- 
head. 

INIat.  28—18  And  Jesus  came  and 
spake  unto  the  eleven  disciples, 
saying,  All  power  is  given  unto 
me  in  heaven  and  in  earth. 

19  Go  ye  therefore,  and  teach  all 
nations,  baptizing  them  in  the 
name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the 
Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost: 

20  Teaching  them  to  observe  all 
things  whatsoever  I  have  com- 
manded you;  and,  lo,  I  am  with 
you  alway,  even  unto  the  end  of 
the  world.    Ameu,    p.  521. 

1  Jno.  5—7  For  there  are  three 
that  bear  record  in  heaven,  the 
Father,  the  Word,  and  the  Holy 
Ghost:  and  these  three  are  one. 

8  And  there  are  three  that  bear 
witness  in  earth,  the  spirit,  and 
the  water,  and  the  blood:  and 
these  three  agree  in  one. 

Ac.  17—29  As  we  are  the  offspring 
of  God.  we  ought  not  to  think 
that  the  Godhead  is  like  unto 
gold,  or  silver,  or  stone,  graven  by 
ait  and  man's  device,   p.  109. 

Ro.  1—20  For  the  invisible  things 
of  .him  from  the  creation  of  the 
world  are  clearly  seen,  being  un- 
derstood by  the  things  that  are 
made,  even  his  eternal  power  and 
Godhead. 

2  Co.  13—14  The  grace  of  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  and  the  love  of  God, 
and  the  communion  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  be  with  you  all.    Amen. 

GOD'S  FOOTSTOOLS. 

Is.  66—1  Thus  saith  the  Lord. 
The  heaven  is  my  throne,  and  the 
earth  is  my  footstool. 

Ps.  99—5  Exalt  ye  the  Lord  our 
God,  and  worship  at  his  footstool ; 
for  he  is  holy. 

Ps.  110—1  The  Lord  said  unto 
my  Lord.  Sit  thou  at  my  right 
hand,  until  I  make  thine  enemies 
thy  footstool. 

Mar.  12—36  For  David  himself 
said  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  The  Lord 
.said  to  my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my 
right  hand,  till  I  make  thine  ene- 
mies thy  footstool. 

La.  2—1  How  hath  the  Lord  cov- 
ered the  daughter  of  Zion  with  a 
cloud  in  his  anger,  and  cast  down 
from  heaven  unto  the  earth  the 
beauty  of  Israel,  and  remembered 
not  his  footstool  in  the  day  of  his 
anger !

"THE  UNKNOWN  GOD.

G 


Ac.  17—22  Then  Paul  stood  in  the 
midst  of  Mars'  hill,  and  said,  Ye 
men  of  Athens,  I  perceive  that  in 
all  things  ye  are  too  superstitious. 

23  For  as  I  passed  by,  and  be- 
held your  devotions,  I  found  an 
altar  with  this  inscription,  TO 
THE  UNKNOWN  GOD.  \Vhom 
therefore  ye  ignorantly  worship, 
him  declare  I  unto  you. 

30  And  the  times  of  this  igno- 
rance God  winlved  at;  but  now 
comniandeth  all  men  every  where 
to  repent,  p.  248. 

GODS.  AS  APPLIED  TO  MEN. 

Ex.  22—28  Thou  shalt  not  revile 
the  gods,  nor  curse  the  ruler  of  thy 
people. 

Ps.  82—1  God  standeth  in  the 
congregation  of  the  mighty;  he 
judgeth  among  the  gods. 

6  I  have  said.  Ye  are  gods;  and 
all  of  you  are  children  of  the  Most 
High. 

7  But  ye  shall  die  like  men,  and 
fall  like  one  of  the  princes. 

Jno.  10—31  Jesus  answered  them, 
Is  it  not  written  in  your  law,  I 
said,  Ye  are  gods  ? 

.35  If  he  called  them  gods,  unto 
whom  the  word  of  God  came,  and 
the  Scripture  cannot  be  broken ; 

36  Say  ye  of  him,  whom  the  Fa- 
ther hath  sanctified,  and  sent  into 
the  world,  Thou  blasphemest ;  be- 
cause I  said,  I  am  the  Son  of  God  ? 

Ps.  138—1  I  will  praise  thee  with 
my  whole  heart :  before  the  gods 
will  I  sing  praise  imto  thee. 

1  Co.  8—5  For  though  there  be 
that  are  called  gods,  whether  in 
heaven  or  in  earth,  (as  there  be 
gods  many,  and  lords  many,) 

6  But  to  us  there  is  but  one  God, 
the  Father,of  whom  are  all  things, 
and  one  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

GIFTS  of  God  and  gifts  of  men.

24,  25,  320;  Ac.  20.  35,  p.  16. 

De.  16—17  Every  man  shall  give 
as  he  is  able,  according  to  the 
blessing  of  the  Lord  thy  God 
which  he  hath  given  thee. 

2  Co.  9—7  Every  man  according 
as  he  purposeth  in  his  heart,  so  let 
him  give;  not  grudgingly,  or  of 
necessity :  for  God  loveth  a  cheer- 
ful giver.  2  Co.  8. 12,  p.  198. 


8  And  God  is  able  to  make  all 
grace  abound  toward  you;  that 
ye,always  having  all  sutiiciency  in 
all  things,  may  abound  to  every 
good  work : 

9  As  it  is  written.  He  hath  dis- 
persed abroad;  he  hath  given  to 
the  poor:  his  righteousness  re- 
maineth  for  ever.  Ps.  112. 9,  p.  235. 

Ex.  23—8  IT  And  thou  shalt  take 
no  gift:  for  the  gift  blindeth  the 
wise,  and  perverteth  the  words  of 
the  righteous. 

De.  16—19  Thou  shalt  not  respect 
persons,  neither  take  a  gift:  lor  a 
gift  doth  blind  the  eyes  of  the 
wise,  and  pervert  the  words  of  the 
righteous. 

Pro.  17—8  A  gift  is  as  a  precious 
stone  in  the  eyes  of  him  that  hath 
it:  whithersoever  it  tumetb,  it 
prospereth. 

23  A  wicked  man  taketli  a  gift 
out  of  the  bosom  to  pervert  the 
ways  of  judgment. 

Pro.  18—16  A  man's  gift  maketh 
room  for  him,  and  bringeth  him 
before  great  men. 

Pro.  19—6  Many  will  entreat  the 
favour  of  the  prince:  and  every 
man  is  a  friend  to  him  that  giveth 
gifts. 

Pro.  2.5—14  Whoso  boasteth  him- 
self of  a  false  gift  is  like  clouds 
and  wind  without  rain. 

Ec.  7—7  Surely  oppression  mak- 
eth a  wise  man  mad;  and  a  gift 
destroyeth  the  heart. 

Mat.  7—11  If  ye  then,  being  evil, 
know  how  to  give  good  gifts  unto 
your  children,  how  much  more 
shall  your  Father  -which  is  in 
heaven  give  good  things  to  them 
that  ask  him  ?  p.  19. 

Lu.6— 30  Give  to  every  man  that 
asketh  of  thee;  and  of  him  that 
taketh  away  thy  goods  ask  them 
not  again, 

Lu.  12 — 48  For  unto  whomsoever 
much  is  given,  of  him  shall  be 
much  required ;  and  to  whom  men 
have  committed  much,  of  him 
they  will  ask  the  more. 

1  Co.  7—7  Every  man  hath  his 
proper  gift  of  God,  one  after  this 
manner,  and  another  after  that. 

1  Co.  12—1  Now  concerning  spir- 
itual gifts,  brethren.  I  would  not 
have  you  ignorant. 

4  Now  there  are  diversities  of 
gifts,  but  the  same  Spirit. 

5  And  there  are  differences  of 
administrations,  but  the  same 
Lord.

6  And  there  are  diversities  of 
operations,  but  it  is  the  same  Cxod 
which  worketh  all  in  all. 

7.  But  the  manifestation  or  the 
Spu-it  is  given  to  every  man  to 
protit  -withal.        .       .         ,       .i 

8  For  to  one  is  given  by  the 
Spu-it  the  -word  of  -wisdom ;  to  an- 
other the  -word  of  kno-wledge  by 
the  same  Spu-it ; 

9  To  another  faith  by  the  same 
Spu-it;  to  another  the  gifts  of 
healiug  by  the  same  Spu-it ; 

10  To  another  the  -workuig  of 
mu-acles;  to  auother  prophecy; 
to  another  discerning  of  spirits: 
to  another  divers  kinds  ot 
tongues-  to  another  the  interpre- 
tation of  tongues:  ,      ,     ,    ^ 

11  But- all  these  -worketh  that 
one  and  the  selfsame  Spirit,  di- 
viding to  eveiT  man  severally  as 
he  will.  Continued  on  p.  20. 

Ja.  1—17  Every  good  gift  and

Job  30—26  When  I  looked  for 
good,  then  evil  came  uiito  me: 
and  -when  I  waited  for  light,  there 
came  darkness.  j  j  „„ 

Ps  14—2  The  Lord  looked  down 
from  heaven  upon  the  children  of 
men,  to  see  if  there  were  any  that 
did  understand,  and  seek  God. 

3  Thev  are  all  gone  aside^  they 
are  all"  together  become  hlthy: 
there  is  none  that  doeth  good,  no, 

°*'pro"V27  Withhold  not  good 
from  them  to  whom  it  is  due, 
when  it  is  in  the  power  of  thme 
l^f,Jt*>^^^it.^^  ^^^^  diligently 
seeketh  good  procureth  favour: 
but  he  that  seeketh  mischief,  it 
shall  come  unto  him. 

Ho.  6—4  Your  goodness  is  as  a 
morning  cloud,  and  as  the  early 
dew  it  goeth  away.       ,        ^ 

Am.  .^-14  Seek  good,  and  not 
evil,  that  ve  may  live.  Hate  the 
evil  and 'ove  the  good. 

Mar.  0—18  And  Jesus  said  imto 
him  Why  callest  thou  me  good/ 
there  is  aone  good  but  one,  that  is, 
God.    Mat.  19. 17,  p.  460. 

Lu.  6-33  And  if  ye  do  good  to 


them  which  do  good  to  you,  what 
thank  have  ye  ?  for  sinners  also 
do  even  the  same. 

Ro.  7—21 1  find  then  a  law,  that, 
when  I  would  do  good,  evil  is 
present  with  me. 

Ro.  14—16  Let  not  then  yom- 
good  be  evil  spoken  of. 

1  Co.  7—26  1  suppose  therefore 
that  this  is  good  for  the  present 
distress.  I  say,  that  it  is  good  for 
a  man  so  to  be.  . 

Ja.  4—17  Therefore  to  him  that 
knoweth  to  do  good,  and  doeth  it 
not,  to  him  it  is  sin. 

1  Pe.  3—13  And  who  is  he  that 
wUl  harm  you,  if  ye  be  followers 
of  that  which  is  good  ?     ,, 

3  Jiio.  1—11  Beloved,  follow  not 

that  which  is  evil,  but  that  Avhich 

is  good.    He  that  doeth  good  is  ot 

,  God :  bvit  he  that  doeth  evil  hath 

not  seen  God.  ,     . 

Ec.  5—11  When  goods  increase,

make  fringes  in  the  borders  of 
their  garments,  throughout  their

upon  the  fringe  of  the  borders  a 
ribband  of  blue :

and  remember  all  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord,  and  do  them.

ment of  divers  sdrts,  as  of  woollen

29  And  yet  I  say  unto  you.  That

not  arrayed  like  one  of  these. 

30  Wherefore,  if  God  so  clothe

day  is,  and  to  morrow  is  cast  into

What  shall  we  drmk?  or,  Where-

two  coats,  let  him  impart  to  him

meat,  let  him  do  likewise. 

Lu.  16—19  There  was  a  certain 
rich  man,  which  was  clothed  m

shall  not  be  found  naked. 

1  Ti.  2—9  That  women  adorn 
themselves  in  modest  apparel, 
with  shamefacedness  and  sobri- 
ety; not  with  braided  hair,  or 
gold,  or  pearls,  or  costly  array. 

1  Ti.  6—7  For  we  brought  noth- 
ing into  this  world,  and  it  is  cer-

1  Pe.  2—16  As  free,  and  not  using 
yovu-  liberty  for  a  cloak  of  mali- 
ciousness, but  as  the  servants  of 
God. 

Re.  3—4  Thou  hast  a  few  names

De  32—5  They  have  comipted 
themselves,  their  spot  is  not  the 
spot  of  his  children:  they  are  a 
perverse  and  crooked  generation. 

Pro.  30—11  There  is  a  generation 
that  curseth  their  father,  and  doth 
not  bless  then-  mother. 

12  There  is  a  generation  that  are 
pure  in  their  own  eyes,  and  yet  is 
not  washed  from  their  filthiness. 

13  There  is  a  generation,  O  how 
lofty  are  their  eyes!  and  then- 
eyelids  are  lifted  up, 

14  There  is  a  generation,  whose 
teeth  are  as  swords,  and  their  jaw 
teeth  as  knives,  to  devour  the 
poor  from  off  the  earth,  and  the 
needy  from  among  men. 

Ec.  1—4  One  generation  passeth 
away,  and  another  cometh:  but 
the  earth  abideth  for  ever.     .

Ge.  28—17  And  Jacob  wasafraidc 
and  said,  How  dreadful  is  this 
place!  this  is  the  house  of  God, 
and  this  is  the  gate  of  heaven. 

Job  38—17  Have  the  gates  oi 
death  been  opened  unto  thee?  or 
hast  thou  seen  the  doors  of  the 
shadow  of  death?  p.  388.,  ^  ^ 
Ps.  24—7  Lift  up  your  heads,  O

Ps.  118—19  Open  to  me  the  gates 
of  righteousness:  I  will  go  into 
them,  and  I  will  praise  the  Lord. 
Mat.  7—13  Enter  ye  in  at  the 
strait  gate:  for  wide  is  the  gate, 
and  broad  is  the  way,  that  lead- 
eth  to  destniction,  and  many 
there  be  which  go  in  thereat : 

14  Because  strait  is  the  gate,  and 
narrow  is  the  way,  which  leadeth 
unto  life,  and  few  there  be  that 
find  it. 

Lu.  13—24  Strive  to  enter  in  at 
the  strait  gate:  for  many,  I  say 
unto  you,  will  seek  to  enter  m, 
and  sliall  not  be  able. 

Ex.  14—11  Because  there  were 
no  graves  in  Egypt,  hast  thou 
taken  us  away  to  die  in  the  wil- 
derness?   p.  159.  . 

Job  7—9  As  the  cloud  is  con- 
sumed and  vanisheth  away ;  so  he 
that  goeth  down  to  the  grave 
shall  come  up  no  more. 

10  He  shall  return  no  more  to 
his  house,  neither  shall  his  place 
know  him  any  more. 

Job  17—13  If  I  wait,  the  grave  is 
mine  house:  I  have  made  my 
bed  in  the  darkness.  Job  14.  13, 
p.  281. 

Ps.  G— 5  For  in  death  there  is  no 
remembranceof  thee:  in  the  grave 
who  shall  give  thee  thanks? 

Pro.  30—16  The  grave ;  and  the 
barren  womb;  the  earth  that  is 
not  filled  with  water;  and  the 
tire  that  saith  not.  It  is  enough. 

Ec.  9—10  Wliatsoever  thy  hand 
findeth  to  do,  do  it  with  thy  might ; 
for  there  is  no  work,  nor  device, 
nor  knowledge,  nor  wisdom,  in 
the  grave,  whither  thou  goest. . 

Is.  53—9  He  made  his  grave  with 
the  wicked,  and  with  the  rich  m 
his  death ;  because  he  had  done 
no  violence,  neither  was  any  de- 
ceit in  his  mouth,    p.  473. 

Ho.  13—14  I  will  ransom  them 
from  the  power  of  the  grave  -I  will 
redeem  them  from  death :  O  death, 
I  will  be  thy  plagues;  O  grave,  I 
will  be  thy  destruction:  repent- 
ance shall  be  hid  .from  mine  eyes.

Ps.  49—14  Like  sheep  they  are 
laid  in  the  grave;  death  shall 
feed  on  them;  and  the  upright 
shall  have  dominion  over  them  in 
the  morning;  and  their  beauty 
shall  consume  in  the  grave. 

15  But  God  will  redeem  my  soul 
from  the  power  of  the  grave:  for 
he  shall  receive  me. 

Jno.  5—21  For  as  the  Father 
raiseth  up  the  dead,  and  quicken- 
eth  them ;  even  so  the  Son  quick- 
eneth  whom  he  will. 

28  Marvel  not  at  this:  for  the

14  Spikenard  and  saffron;  cala- 
mus and  cinnamon,  with  all  trees 


of  frankincense ;  myrrh  and  aloes, 
with  all  the  chief  spices: 

15  A  fountain  of  gardens,  a  well 
of  living  waters,  and  streams  from 
Lebanon. 

16  Awake,  O  north  wind;  and 
come,  thou  south;  blow  upon  my 
garden,  that  the  spices  thereof 
may  flow  out.  Let  my  beloved 
come  into  his  garden,  and  eat  his 
pleasant  fruits. 

De.  11—15  And  I  will  send  grass 
in  tliy  fields  for  thy  cattle,  that 
thou  mayest  eat  and  be  full. 

2  Ki.  19—26  Therefore  their  in- 
habitants were  of  small  power, 
they  were  dismayed  and  con- 
founded ;  they  were  as  the  grass  of 
the  field,  and  as  the  green  herb,  as 
the  grass  on  the  housetops,  and  as 
com  blasted  before  it  be  grown 
up. 

Ps.  129—6  Let  tliem  be  as  the 
grass  upon  the  housetops,  which 
withereth  afore  it  groweth  up: 

7  Wherewith  the  mower  filleth 
not  his  hand  ;  nor  he  that  bindeth 
sheaves  his  bo.som. 

Is.  40—5  And  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  shall  be  revealed,  and  all 
rtesh  shall  see  it  together:  for  the 
mouth  of  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
it. 

6  The  voice  said.  Cry.  And  he 
said,  What  shall  I  cry?  All  fiesh 
is  grass,  and  all  the  goodliness 
thereof  is  as  the  flower  of  the 
field: 

7  The  grass  withereth,  the  flower 
fadeth  •  because  the  spirit  of  the 
Lord  bloweth  upon  it :  surely  the 
people  is  grass. 

8  The  grass  withereth,  the  flower 
fadeth:  but  the  word  of  our  God 
shall  stand  for  ever. 

Mat.  6—30  Wherefore,  if  God  so 
clothe  the  grassof  the  field,  which 
to  day  is,  and  to  morrow  is  cast 
into  the  oven,  shall  he  not  much 
more  clothe  you,  O  ye  of  little 
faith? 

Jno.  1—17  For  the  law  was  given 
by  Moses,  but  grace  and  truth 
came  by  Jesus  Christ. 

Gal.  5 — 1  Christ  is  become  of  no 
effect  unto  you,  whosoever  of  you 
are  justified  by  the  law ;  ye  are 
fallen  from  grace. 

Ep.  2—8  For  by  grace  are  ye 
saved  through  faith  ;  and  that  not 
of  yourselves:  it  is  the  gift  of 
God. 

Ro.  16—24  The  ^ace  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ  bewith  you  all.  Amen.

18  But  since  we  left  off  to  burn 
incense  to  the  queen  of  heaven, 
and  to  pour  out  drink  offerings 
unto  her,  we  have  wanted  all 
things,  and  have  been  consumed 
by  the  sword  and  by  the  famine. 

Eze.  32—7  I  will  cover  the  heav- 
en, and  make  the  stars  thereof 
dark  ;  I  will  cover  the  sun  with  a 
cloud,  and  the  moon  shall  not 
give  her  light. 

8  All  tlie  bright  lights  of  heaven 
will  1  make  dark  over  thee,  and 
set  darkness  upon  thy  land. 

Jo.  2—30  Auci  I  will  shew  won- 
ders in  the  heavens  and  in  the 
earth,  blood,  and  fire,  and  pillars 
of  smoke,    p.  72. 

Je.  10—2  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Learn  not  the  way  of  the  heathen, 
and  be  not  dismayed  at  the  signs 
of  heaven. 

Mat.  13—31  Another  parable  put 
he  forth  unto  them,  saying,  The 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  to  a 
gram  of  mustard  seed,  which  a 
man  took,  and  sewed  in  his  field: 

32  Which  indeed  is  the  least  of 
all  seeds:  but  when  it  is  grown,  it 
is  the  greatest  among  herbs,  and 
becometh  a  tree,  so  that  the  birds 
of  the  air  come  and  lodge  in  the 
branches  thereof. 

33  Another  parable  spake  he 
unto  them;  The  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  like  unto  leaven,  which 
a  woman  took,  and  hid  in  three 
measures  of  meal,  till  the  whole 
was  leavened. 

44  Agam,  the  kingdom  of  heav- 
en is  like  unto  treasure  hid  in  a 
field ;  the  which  when  a  man  hath 
found,  he  hideth,  and  for  joy 
thereof  goeth  and  selleth  all  that 
he  hath,  and  buyeth  that  field. 

45  Again,  the  kingdom  of  heav- 
en is  like  mito  a  merchantman, 
seeking  goodly  pearls: 

46  Who,  when  lie  had  foimd  one 
peai-1  of  gi-eat  price,  went  and  sold 
all  that  he  had,  and  bought  it. 

47  Again,  the  kingdom  of  heav- 
en is  like  unto  a  net,  that  was 
cast  into  the  sea,  aud  gathered  of 
every  kind: 


116 


48  "Which,  when  it  was  full,  they 
drew  to  shore,  and  sat  down,  and 
gathered  the  good  into  vessels, 
but  cast  the  bad  away. 

49  So  shall  it  be  at  the  end  of  the 
world:  the  angels  shall  come, and 
sever  the  wicked  from  the  just, 

50  And  shall  <?ast  them  mto  the 
furnace  of  tire:  there  shall  be 
wailing  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

Mat.  8—11  Many  shall  come  from 
the  east  and  west,  and  shall  sit 
down  with  Abraham,  Isaac,  and 
Jacob,  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

Mat.  16—19  And  I  will  give  unto 
thee  the  keys  of  the  kingdom  of 
heaven:  and  whatsoever  thou 
Shalt  bind  on  earth  shall  be  bound 
in  heaven ;  and  whatsoever  thou 
Shalt  loose  on  earth  shall  be 
loosed  in  heaven,    p.  508. 

Mat.  10—7  And  as  ye  go,  preach, 
saying.  The  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  at  hand.    p.  458. 

Jno.  6—38  I  came  down  from 
heaven,  not  to  do  mine  own  will, 
but  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me. 

2  Co.  12—1  It  IS  not  expedient  for 
me  doubtless  to  glory.  I  will  come 
to  visions  and  revelations  ot  the 

2  I  knew  a  man  in  Christ  above 
fourteen  years  ago,  (whether  in  the 
bodv,  I  cannot  tell;  or  whether 
out  of  the  bodv,  I  cannot  tell:  God 
knoweth ;)  such  a  one  caught  up 
to  the  third  heaven. 

3  And  I  knew  such  a  man,(wheth- 
er  in  the  body,  or  out  of  the  body, 
I  cannot  tell :  God  knoweth ;) 

4  How  that  he  was  caught  up  in- 
to paradise,  and  heard  luispeaka- 
ble  words,  which  it  is  not  lawful 
for  a  man  to  utter. 

He.  12—23  To  the  general  assem- 
bly and  church  of  the  firstborn, 
which  are  written  in  heaven,  and 
to  God  the  Judge  of  all,  and  to  the 
spirits  of  just  men  made  perfect, 

24  And  to  Jesus  the  mediator 
of  the  new  covenant,  and  to  the 
blood  of  sprinkling,  that  speaketh 
better  things  than  that  of  Abel, 

25  See  that  ye  refuse  not  him 
that  speaketh :  for  i  f  they  escaped 
not  who  refused  him  that  spake 
on  earth,  much  more  shall  not  we 
escape,  if  we  turn  away  from  him 
that  speaketh  from  heaven: 

26  Wliose  voice  then  shook  the 
earth:  but  now  he  hath  promised, 
saying.  Yet  once  more  I  shake  not 
the  earth  only,  but  also  heaven. 


Hag.  i— 6  For  thus  saith  the 
LuBD  of  hosts;  Yet  once,  it  is  a 
little  while,  and  I  will  shake  the 
heavens,  and  the  earth,  and  the 
sea,  and  the  dry  land. 

Jno.  14— -2  In  my  Father  s  house 
are  many  mansions ;  if  it  were  not 
so,  I  would  have  told  you.  I  go  to 
prepare  a  place  for  you. 

3  And  if  I  go  and  prepare  a  place 
for  you,  I  will  come  again,  and  re- 
ceive you  unto  myself ;  that  where 
I  am,  there  ye  may  be  also. 

Am.  9—6  It  is  he  that  buildeth 
his  stories  in  the  heaven,  and  hath 
fomided  his  troop  in  the  earth; 
he  that  calleth  for  the  waters  of 
the  sea,  and  poureth  them  out 
upon  the  face  of  the  earth:  The 
Lord  is  his  name. 

Ju.  5—20  They  fought  from

Ps.  73—25  Whom  have  I  in  heav- 
en but  thee?  and  there  is  none  up- 
on earth  that  I  desire  besides  thee. 

Ps.  11.5— 16  The  heaven,  even  the 
heavens,  are  the  Lord's:  but  the 
earth  hath  he  given  to  the  chil- 
dren of  men.  . 

Pro.  2.5—3  The  heaven  for  height, 
and  the  earth  for  depth,  and  the 
heart  of  kings  is  unsearchable. 

Is.  14—12  How  art  thou  fallen 
from  heaven,  O  Lucifer,  son  of 
the  morning!  how  art  thou  cut 
down  to  the  groimd,  which  didst 
weaken  the  nations! 

13  For  thou  hast  said  in  thine 
heart,  I  will  ascend  into  heaven, 
I  will  exalt  mv  throne  above  the 
stars  of  God :  I  will  sit  also  upon 
the  mount  of  the  congregation, 
in  the  sides  of  the  north: 

14  I  will  ascend  above  the 
heights  of  the  clouds;  I  will  be 
like  the  Most  High. 

15  Yet  thou  Shalt  be  brought 
down  to  hell,  to  the  sides  of  the 
pit.  ,    ,, 

16  Thev  that  see  thee  shall  nar- 
rowly look  upon  thee,  and  con-

BOTTOMLESS  PIT. 

Re.  9-1  And  the  fifth  angel 
sounded,  and  I  saw  a  star  fall  from 
heaven  vmto  the  earth:  and  to 
him  was  given  the  key  of  the  bot- 
tomless pit. 


119 


2  And  lie  opened  the  bottomless 
pit;  and  there  arose  a  smoke  out 
of  the  pit,  as  tlie  smoke  of  a  great 
furnace ;  and  tlie  sun  and  the  air 
were  darkened  by  reason  of  the 
smoke  of  the  pit. 

3  And  there  came  out  of  the 
smoke  locusts  upon  the  earth: 
and  unto  them  was  given  power, 
as  the  scorpions  of  the  earth  have 
power. 

4  And  it  was  commanded  them 
that  they  should  not  hurt  the 
grass  of  the  earth,  neither  any 
green  thing,  neither  any  tree ;  but 
only  those  men  which  have  not 
the  seal  of  God  in  their  foreheads. 

5  And  to  them  it  was  given  that 
they  should  not  kill  them,  but 
that  they  should  be  tormented 
live  months:  and  their  torment 
was  as  the  torment  of  a  scorpion, 
when  he  striketh  a  man. 

6  And  m  those  days  shall  men 
seek  death,  and  shall  not  find  it; 
and  shall  desire  to  die,  and  death 
shall  flee  from  them. 

7  And  the  shapes  of  the  locusts 
were  like  luito  horses  prepared 
unto  battle;  and  on  their  heads 
were  as  it  were  crowns  like  gold, 
and  their  faces  were  as  the  faces 
of  men. 

8  And  they  had  hair  as  the  hair 
of  women,  and  their  teeth  were 
as  the  teeth  of  lions. 

9  And  they  had  breastplates,  as 
it  were  breastplates  of  iron;  and 
the  sound  of  their  wings  was  as 
the  .sound  of  chariots  of  many 
horses  running  to  battle. 

10  And  they  had  tails  like  unto 
scorpions,  and  there  were  stings 
in  their  tails:  and  their  power 
was  to  hurt  men  five  months. 

11  And  they  had  a  king  over 
them,  which  is  the  angel  of  the 
bottomless  pit,  whose  name  in  the 
Hebrew  tongue  is  Abaddon,  but 
in  the  Greek  tongue  hath  his 
name  Apollyon. 

12  One  woe  is  past;  and,  behold, 
there  come  two  woes  more  here- 
after. 

13  And  the  sixth  angel  sounded, 
and  I  heard  a  voice  from  the  four 
horns  of  the  golden  altar  which  is 
before  God, 

14  Sayuig  to  the  sixth  angel 
which  had  the  trumpet.  Loose  the 
four  angels  which  are  bound  in 
the  great  river  Euphrates. 

15  And  the  four  angels  were 
loo.sed.  which  were  prepared  for 


an  hour,  and  a  day,  and  a  montb, 
and  a  year,  for  to  slay  the  third 
part  of  men. 

16  And  the  number  of  the  army 
of  the  horsemen  were  two  hun- 
dred thousand  thousand:  and  I 
heard  the  number  of  them. 

17  And  thus  I  saw  the  horses  in 
the  vision,  and  them  that  sat  on 
them,  having  breastplates  of  fire, 
and  of  jacinth,  and  brimstone: 
and  the  heads  of  the  horses  were 
as  the  heads  of  lions;  and  out  of 
their  mouths  issued  fire  and 
smoke  and  brimstone. 

18  By  these  three  was  the  third 
part  of  men  killed,  by  the  fire, 
smoke,  and  brimstone,  which  is- 
sued out  of  their  mouths. 

19  For  their  power  is  in  their 
mouth,  and  in  their  tails:  for 
their  tails  were  like  unto  ser- 
pents, and  had  heads,  and  with 
them  they  do  hurt. 

20  And  the  rest  of  the  men  which 
were  not  killed  by  tlie.se  plagues 
yet  repented  not  of  the  works  of 
their  hands,  that  they  should  not 
worship  devils,  and  idols  of  gold, 
and  silver,  and  brass,  and  stone, 
and  of  wood ;  which  neither  can 
see,  nor  hear,  nor  walk : 

21  Neither  repented  they  of 
their  murders,  nor  of  their  sorcer- 
ies, nor  of  their  fornication,  nor 
of  their  thefts. 

Bottomle-ss  Pit;  Dragon;  Ser- 
pent ;  8atan,  the  Devil,  bound  one 
thousand  years;  the  first  resur- 
rection ;  the  last  and  general  res- 
urrection ;  .see  also  Re.  12  and  13, 
p.  61, 62. 

Re.  20—1  And  I  saw  an  an^el 
come  down  from  heaven,  having 
the  key  of  the  bottomle.ss  pit  and 
a  great  chain  in  his  hand. 

2  And  he  laid  hold  on  the  drag- 
on, that  old  serpent,  which  is  the 
Devil,  and  Satan,  and  bound  him 
a  thousand  years, 

3  And  cast  him  into  the  bottom- 
less pit,  and  shut  him  up,  and  .set 
a  seal  upon  him,  that  he  should 
deceive  the  nations  no  more,  till 
the  thousand  years  should  be  ful- 
filled :  and  after  that  he  must  be 
loosed  a  little  season. 

4  And  I  saw  thrones,  and  they 
sat  upon  them,  and  judgment  was 
given  unto  them :  and  I  saw  the 
souls  of  them  that  were  beheaded 
for  the  witness  of  Jesus,  and  for 


120 


the  word  of  God,  and  which  had 
uot  worshipped  the  beast,  ueitlier 
his  image,  neither  had  received 
his  mark  upon  tlieii'  foreheads,  or 
in  their  hands;  and  they  lived 
and  reigned  with  Christ  a  thou- 
S;ind  years. 

5  But  the  rest  of  the  dead  lived 
not  again  vmtil  the  thous;ind 
years  were  tinished.  This  is  the 
first  resm-rection. 

6  Blessed  and  holy  is  he  that 
hath  part  in  the  tii-st  resurrec- 
tion: on  such  the  second  death 
hath  no  power,  but  they  shall  be 
priests  of  God  and  of  Christ,  and 
shall  reign  with  him  a  thousiiud 
years. 

7  And  when  the  thousand  years 
are  expired,  Satan  shall  be  loosed 
out  of  his  prison, 

8  And  .<ihall  go  out  to  deceive 
the  nations  which  are  in  the  four- 
quarters  of  the  earth,  Gog  and 
Magog,  to  gather  them  together 
to  battle:  tlie  number  of  whom  is 
as  the  Siind  of  the  sea. 

9  And  they  went  up  on  the 
breadth  of  the  earth,  and  com- 
passed the  camp  of  the  s;\iuts 
about,  and  the  beloved  city:  and 
tire  came  down  from  God  out  of 
heaven,  and  devoured  them. 

10  And  the  devil  that  deceived 
them  was  cast  into  the  lake  of  tire 
and  brimstone,  where  the  beast 
and  the  false  prophet  are,  and 
shall  be  tormented  day  and  night 
for  ever  and  ever. 

11  And  I  saw  a  great  white 
tlu'one,  and  him  that  sat  on  it, 
from  whose  face  the  earth  and  the 
heaven  tied  away ;  and  there  was 
found  no  place  for  them. 

12  And  I  saw  the  dead,  small 
and  great,  stand  before  God:  and 
the  books  were  opened:  and  an- 
other book  was  opened,  which  is 
the  book  of  life:  and  the  dead 
were  judged  out  of  those  things 
which  were  written  in  the  hooks, 
according  to  their  works. 

13  And  the  .sea  gave  up  the  dead 
which  were  in  it ;  and  death  and 
hell  delivered  up  the  dead  which 
were  in  them:  and  they  were 
judged  every  man  according  to 
their  works. 

14  And  death  and  hell  were  cast 
hito  the  lake  of  tire.  This  is  the 
second  death. 

15  And  whosoever  was  uot  found 
written  in  the  book  of  life  was 
cast  into  the  lake  of  fire.

Ju.  G— 15  And  Jerubbaal,  who 
is  Gideon,  said  mito  him,  O  my 
Lord,  wherewith  shall  I  s;ive  Is- 
rael'.' behold,  my  family  is  poor 
in  Manasseh,  and  I  am  the  least  in 
my  father's  house,    p.  493. 

Jos.  2—1  And  Joshua  sent  two 
men  to  spy  secretly,  saying.  Go 
view  the  laud,  even  Jericlio.  And 
they  went,  and  came  into  a  har- 
lot's house,  named  Rahab,  and 
lodged  there,    p.  405. 

15  Then  she  let  them  down  by  a

and  masons:  and  they  built  David 
a  house. 

1  Ki.  22—39  Now  the  rest  of  the 
acts  of  Ahab,  and  the  ivory  house 
which  he  made,  are  they  not  writ- 
ten in  the  book  of  the  Chronicles 
of  the  kings  of  Israel"? 

Ezr.  6—11  Also  I  have  made  a 
decree,  that  whosoever  shall  alter 
this  word,  let  timber  be  pulled 
dowai  from  his  house,  and  being 
set  up,  let  him  be  hanged  thereon; 
and  let  his  house  be  made  a  dung- 
hill for  this.

Job  4—18  Behold,  he  put  no 
trust  in  ?iis  servants;  and  liis  an- 
gels he  charged  with  folly: 

19  How  much  less  in  them  that 
dwell  in  houses  of  clay,  whose 
foundation  is  in  the  dust. 

Joh  8—15  He  shall  lean  upon  his 
house,  but  it  shall  not  stand:  he 
shall  hold  it  fast,  but  it  shall  not 
endure. 

Job  la—ii  And  he  dwelleth  in 
desolate  cities,  and  in  houses 
which  no  man  iuhabiteth.  Job

Job  1^4—10  In  the  dark  they  dig 
througli  houses,  which  they  had 
marked  for  themselves  in  the 
daytime. 

Job  30— 23  For  I  know  that  thou 
wilt  bring  me  to  death,  and  to  the 
house  appointed  for  all  living. 

Ps.  :il— 2  Bow  down  thine  ear  to 
me ;  deliver  me  speedily :  be  thou 
my  strong  rock,  for  a  house  of  de- 
fence to  save  me. 

Ps.  36—8  They  shall  be  abund- 
antly satisfied  with  the  fatness  of 
thy  house;  and  thou  shalt  make 
them  drink  of  the  river  of  thy 
pleasures. 

Ps.  49 — 11  Their  inward  thought 
is,  that  their  houses  shall  continue 
for  ever, and  their  dwellingplaces 
to  all  generations;  they  call  their 
lands  after  their  own  names,  p.  242. 

Ps.  55 — 14  We  took  sweet  counsel 
together,  and  walked  unto  the 
house  of  (rod  in  company. 

Ps.  69—9  For  the  zeal  of  thine 
house  hath  eaten  me  up;  and  the 
reproaches  of  them  that  re- 
proached thee  are  fallen  upon 
me. 

Ps.  84—10  For  a  day  in  thy  courts 
is  better  tlian  a  thousand.  I  had 
rather  be  a  doorkeeper  in  the 
house  of  my  God,  than  to  dwell  in 
the  tents  of  wickedness. 

Ps.  92—13  Those  that  be  planted 
in  the  house  of  the  Lord  shall 
flourish  in  the  courts  of  our 
God. 

14  They  shall  still  bring  forth 
fruit  in  old  age ;  they  shall  be  fat 
and  flourishing.    Ps.  122,  p.  36. 

Ps.  127—1  Except  the  I^ord  build 
the  house,  they  labour  in  vain 
that  build  it:  except  the  Lord 
keep  the  city,  the  watchman 
waketh  but  in  vain. 

Pro.  9 — 1  Wisdom  hath  builded 
her  house,  she  hath  hewn  out  her 
seven  pillars. 

Pro.  11—29  He  that  troubleth  his 
own  house  shall  inherit  the  wind : 


and  the  fool  shall  be  servant  to 
the  wise  of  heart. 

Pro.  14—1  Every  wise  woman 
buildeth  her  house:  but  the  fool- 
ish plucketh  it  down. 

Pro.  I'j — <;  In  the  house  of  the 
righteous  is  much  treasure. 

25  The  Lord  will  destroy  the 
house  of  tlie  proud : 

27  He  that  is  greedy  of  gain 
troubleth  his  own  house;  but  he 
that  hateth  gifts  sliall  live. 

Pro.  17—1  Better  is  a  drj'  morsel, 
and  quietness  therewith,  than  a 
house  full  of  sacrifices  with  strife. 

Pro.  24—3  Through  wisdom  is  a 
house  builded;  and  by  under- 
standing it  is  established: 

4  And  by  knowledge  shall  the 
chambers  be  tilled  with  all  pre- 
cious and  pleasant  riches. 

27  Pn^pare  thy  work  without, 
and  make  it  fit  for  thyself  in  the 
field ;  and  afterwards  build  thine 
house. 

Ec.  7—2  It  is  better  to  go  to  the 
house  of  mourning,  than  to  go  to 
the  house  of  feasting:  for  that  is 
the  end  of  all  men;  and  the  liv- 
ing will  lay  it  to  his  heart. 

Ec.  10—18  By  much  slothfulness 
the  building  decayeth;  and 
through  idleness  of  the  hands  the 
house  droppeth  through. 

SS.  2 — 4  He  brought  me  to  the

Is.  .5—8  Woe  unto  tliem  that  join 
house  to  house,  that  lay  field  to 
field,  till  there  be  no  place. 

Is.  22—1  The  burdenof  the  valley 
of  vision.  What  aileth  thee  now, 
that  thou  art  wholly  gone  up  to 
the  housetops? 

Is.  6.5—21  And  they  shall  build 
houses,  and  inhabit  them ;  and 
they  shall  plant  vineyards,  and 
eat  the  fruit  of  them. 

Zep.  1—13  Their  goods  shall  be- 
come a  booty,  and  their  houses  a 
desolation :  they  shall  also  build 
hoiises,  but  not  inhabit  them; 
and  they  shall  plant  vineyards, 
but  not  drink  the  wine  thereof. 

Je.  22—13  Woe  imto  him  that 
buildeth  his  hotise  by  unright- 
eousness, and  his  chambers  by 
wrong;  that  useth  his  neigh- 
bour's service  without  wages,  and 
givetli  him  not  for  his  work ; 

14  That  saith,  I  will  build  me  a 
wide  house  and  large  chambers, 
and  cutteth  him  out  windows: 
and  it  is  ceiled  with  cedar,  and 
painted  with  vermilion.

Eze.  12-2  Son  of  man,  thou 
dwellest  in  the  midst  of  a  rebel- 
lious house,  which  liave  eyes  to 
see,  and  see  not;  they  have  ears 
to  hear,  and  hear  not:  for  they 
are  a  rebellious  house.  . 

Am.  3—15  And  I  will  smite  the 
winter  house  with  the  surnmer 
house ;  and  the  houses  of  ivory 
shall  perish,  and  the  great  houses 
shall  have  an  end.saiththe  Lord. 

Mat  7—24  Therefore  whosoever 
heareth  these  saymgs  of  mine, 
and  doeth  them,  I  will  Irken  him 
unto  a  wise  man,  which  hum  nis 
house  upon  a  rock :  ,    ■,        , 

25  And  the  ram  descended,  arid 
the  floods  came,  and  the  wmds 
blew,  and  beat  upon  that  house ; 
and  it  fell  not:  for  it  was  founded 
upon  a  rock.  ,    ^  ,         ^i 

26  And  every  one  that  heareth 
these  saymgs  of  mine,  and  doetu 
them  not,  shall  be  likened  unto  a 
foolish  man,  which  built  his 
house  upon  the  sand : 

27  And  the  ram  descended,  ana 
the  floods  came,  and  the  winds 
blew,  and  beat  upon  that  house; 
and  it  fell:  and  great  was  the  fall 

Mar.  3—25  And  if  a  house  be  di- 
vided against  itself,  that  house 
cannot  stand.  . 

27  No  man  can  enter  into  a 
strong  man's  house,  and  spoil  Ins 
goods,  except  he  will  nrst  bmcl 
the  strong  man ;  and  then  he  will 
spoil  his  house.    .  ,    ^ 

Lu.  10—5  And  mto  whatsoever 
house  ye  enter,  first  say.  Peace  be 
to  this  house.  ^  , 

6  And  if  the  son  of  peace  be 
there,  your  peace  shall  rest  upon 
it :  if  not,  it  shall  tm-n  to  you  agam. 
See  verse  7,  p.  178. 

Lu  12—52  For  fi'om  henceforth 
there  shall  be  five  in  one  house 
divided,  three  against  two,  and 
two  against  three.  Verse  39,  p.  446. 
Lu.  13—25  When  once  the  master 
of  the  house  is  risen  up,  and  hath 
shut  to  the  door,  and  ye  begin  lO 
stand  without,  and  to  knock  at 
the  door,  saying.  Lord,  Lord,  open 
unto  us;  and  he  shall  answer  and 
say  unto  you,  I  know  you  not 
whence  ye  are. 

35  Behold,  your  house  is  left  un- 
to you  desolate:  and  verily  I  say 
unto  you.  Ye  shall  not  see  me,  mi- 
til  the  time  come  when  ye  shall 
say.  Blessed  is  he  that  cometh  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord. 
1  Ti.  5—8  If  any  provide  not  for 


his  owJi,  and  specially  for  those  of 
his  own  house,  he  hath  denied  th« 
faith,  and  is  worse  than  an  mhdel. 

2  Co.  5—1  For  we  know  that,  if 
our  earthly  house  of  this  taber- 
nacle were  dissolved,  we  have  a 
building  of  God.  a  house  not 
made  with  hands,  eternal  m  the 
heavens. 

He.  3—i  For  every  house  is 
builded  by  some  man ;  but  he  that 
built  all  things  is  God.

15  The  ancient  and  honourable, 
he  is  the  head;  and  the  prophet 
that  teacheth  lies,  he  is  the  tail. 

Eze.  8—3  He  put  forth  the  form 
of  a  hand,  and  took  me  by  a  lock 
of  mine  head;  and  the  spirit 
lifted  me  up  between  the  eartu

to  the  door  of  the  imier  gate  that

brother  is  dead,  and  he  is  left 
alone:  if  mischief  befall  him  by 
the  way,  then  shall  ye  l)ring  down 
my  gray  hairs  with  sorrow  to  the 
grave,    p.  350. 

Ho.7— 9  Strangers  have  devoured 
his  strength,  and  ho  knoweth  it 
not:  yea,  gray  hairs  are  here  and 
there  upon  him,  yet  he  knoweth 
not. 

1  Co.  11—14  Doth  not  nature  itself 
teach  you,that,  if  a  man  have  long 
hair^t  is  a  shame  unto  him  ? 

15  But  if  a  woman  have  long 
hair,  it  is  a  glory  to  her:  for  her 
hak  is  given  her  for  a  covering. 

Lu.  21—17  And  ye  shall  be  hated 
of  all  men  for  my  name's  sake. 

18  But  there  shall  not  a  hair  of 
yom-  head  perish.  Mat.  10. 22,  p.  197. 

Job  8—22  They  tliat  hate  thee 
shall  be  clothed  with  shame ;  and 
the  dwellingplace  of  the  wicked 
shall  come  to  nought. 

Ps.  139—21  Do  not  I  hate  them.O 
Lord,  that  hate  thee  ?  and  am 
not  I  grieved  with  those  that  rise 
up  against  thee  ? 

22  I  liate  tliem  with  perfect 
hatred:  I  count  them  mme  en- 
emies.   Ps.  41.  7,  p.  325. 

Pro.  10—12  Hatred  stirreth  up 
strifes:  but  love  covereth  all  sins. 

18  He  that  hideth  hatred  with 
lying  lips,  and  he  that  uttereth  a 
slander,  is  a  fool. 

Jno.  15—18  If  the  world  hate  you, 
ye  know  that  it  hated  me  before 
It  hated  you. 

23  Hethathateth  mehateth  my 
Father  also. 

24  If  I  had  not  doue  among  them 
the  works  which  none  other  man 
did.they  had  not  had  sin :  but  now 
have  they  both  seen  and  hated 
both  me  and  my  Father. 

25  But  this  Cometh  to  pass,  that 
the  word  might  be  fulflUed  that  is 


written  in  tlieir  law.  They  hated 
me  without  a  cause. 

Ps.69— 4  They  that  hate  me  with- 
out a  cause  are  more  than  the  hairs 
of  mine  liead.

Pro.  14—10  The  heart  knoweth 
his  own  bitterness  •  and  a  stranger 
doth  not  intermeddle  with  his  joy. 

13  Even  in  laughter  the  heart  is 
sorrowful;  and  the  end  of  that 
mirth  is  heaviness. 

30  A  sound  heart  is  the  life  of 
the  flesh :  but  envy  the  rottenness 
of  the  bones.

eth  a  cheerful  countenance:  but 
by  sorrow  of  the  heart  the  spirit  is

heart  hath  a  continual  feast. 

Pro.  17—22  A  merry  heart  doeth 
good  like  a  medicine:  but  a  brok-

Pro.  21—4  A  high  look,  and  a

Pro.  28—14  Happy  is  the  man  that 
feareth  always:  but  he  that  hard- 
enetli  his  heart  shall  fall  into

26  He  that  trusteth  in  his  own 
heart  is  a  fool :  but  whoso  walk-

Ec.  7—3  Sorrow  is  better  than 
laughter:  for  by  the  sadness  of 
the  countenance  the  heart  is

4  The  heart  of  the  wise  is  in  the 
house  of  moummg;  but  the  heart

Is.  65—14  Behold,  my  servants

shall  cry  for  sorrow  of  heart,  and 
shall  howl  for  vexation  of  spirit. 

Je.  5—23  But  this  people  hath  a 
revolting  and  a  rebellious  heart ; 
they  are  revolted  and  gone. 

Je.  8—18  When  I  womd  comfort 
myself  against  sorrow,  my  heart  is 
faiut  in  me. 

Je.  17—9  The  heart  is  deceitful 
above  all  things,  and  desperately 
wicked:  who  can  know  it? 

10  I  the  LoKD  search  the  heart, 
even  to  give  every  man  according 
to  his  ways,  and  according  to  the 
fruit  of  his  doings. 

Je.  49—23  They  have  heard  evil 
tidings:  they  are  fainthearted; 
there  is  sorrow  on  the  sea. 

La.  3—41  Let  us  lift  up  our  heart 
with  our  hands  unto  God. 

65  Give  them  sorrow  of  heart, 
thy  curse  unto  them. 

La.  5—15  The  joy  of  our  heart  is 
ceased;  our  dance  is  turned  into 
moui'uing. 

Jo.  20—13  And  rend  your  heart, 
and  not  your  garments,  and  turn 
mito  the  Lord  your  God. 

Zee.  7—12  Yea,  they  made  their 
hearts  as  an  adamant  stone,  lest 
they  should  hear  the  law. 

Mat.  12-154  O  generation  of  vi- 
pers, how  can  ye,  being  evil,  speak 
good  things?  for  out  of  the  abun- 
dance of  the  heart  the  mouth 
speaketh. 

Ac.  8—21  Thou  hast  neither  part 
nor  lot  in  this  matter:  for  thy 
heart  is  not  right  in  the  sight  of 
God. 

Ro.  10—10  For  with  the  heart 
man  helieveth  unto  righteous- 
ness; and  with  the  mouth  confes- 
sion is  made  unto  salvation. 

2  Co.  7—3  I  speak  not  this  to  con- 
demn you:  for  I  have  said  before, 
that  ye  are  in  our  hearts  to  die 
and  live  with  you. 

Ep.  4—32  And  be  ye  kind  one  to 
another,  tenderhearted,  forgiving 
one  another. 

1  Jno.  3—20  For  if  our  heart  con-

21  peloved,  if  our  heart  condemn 
us  not,  then  have  we  confidence 
toward  God.

him. 

20  And  thou  shalt  put  some  of 
thine  honour  upon  him,  that  all

of  Israel  may  be  obedient. 

22  And  Moses  did  as  the  Lord 
commanded  him:  and  he  took 
Joshua,  and  set  him  before  Elea- 
zar  the  priest,  and  before  all  the 
congregation : 

23  And  he  laid  his  hands  upon 
him,  and  gave  hiin  a  charge,  as

Mar.  3—1  And  Jesus  entered 
again  into  the  synagogue;  and 
there  was  a  man  there  which  had 
a  withered  hand. 

2  And  they  watched  him.wheth- 
er  he  woiild  heal  him  on  the  sab- 
bath day ;  that  they  might  accuse 
him. 

3  And  he  saith  unto  the  man 
which  had  the  withered  hand, 
Stand  forth. 

4  And  he  saith  nnto  them,  Is  it 
lawful  to  do  good  on  the  sabbath 
davs,  or  to  do  evil  ?  to  save  life,  or 
to  kill?  But  they  held  their  peace. 

5  And  when  he  had  looked  roimd 
about  on  them  with  anger,  being 
grieved  for  the  hardness  of  their 
Eeaits,  he  saith  unto  the  man.

Is.  59—1  Behold,  the  Lord's  hand 
is  not  shortened,  that  it  cannot 
save ;  neither  his  ear  heavy,  that 
it  cannot  hear: 

2  But  your  iniquities  have  sepa- 
rated between  you  and  your  God, 
and  your  sins  have  hid  his  face 
from  you,  that  he  will  not  hear. 

3  For  your  hands  are  defiled 
with  blood,  and  your  fingers  with 
iniquity;  your  lips  have  spoken 
lies,  your  tongue  hath  muttered 
perverseness. 

Je.26— 14  As  for  me,  behold,  I  am 
in  your  hand:  do  with  me  as 
seemeth  good  and  meet  unto 
you. 

La.  1—14  The  yoke  of  my  trans- 
gressions is  bound  by  his  hand: 
they  are  wreathed,  and  come  up 
upon  my  neck :  he  hath  made  my 
strength  to  fall,  the  Lord  hath  de- 
livered me  into  their  hands.,  from 
whom  I  am  not  able  to  rise  up.

unto  him  the  Pharisees,  and  cer- 
tam  of  the  scribes,  which  came 
from  Jerusalem. 

2  And  when  they  saw  some  of 
his  disciples  eat  bread  with  de- 
filed, that  is  to  say,  with  unwash- 
eu  hands,  they  foimd  fault. 

3  For  the  Pharisees  and  all  the 
Jews,  except  they  wash  their 
hands  oft,  eat  not,  holding  the 
tradition  of  the  elders. 

4  And  when  they  come  from 
the  market,  except  they  wash, 
they  eat  not.  And  many  other 
things  there  be,  which  they  have 
received  to  hold,  as  the  washing 
of  cups,  and  pots,  brazen  vessels, 
and  of  tables. 

5  Then  the  Pharisees  and  scribes 
asked  him,  Why  walk  not  thy 
disciples  accordmg  to  the  tradi- 
tion of  the  elders,  out  eat  bread 
with  uuwashen  hands? 

Ac.  20—34  Yea,  ye  yourselves

istered unto  my  necessities,  and

Gal.  2—9  And  when  James, 
Cephas,  and  John,  who  seemed 
to  be  pillars,  perceived  the  grace 
that  was  given  unto  me,  they  gave 
to  me  and  Barnabas  the  right 
handsof  fellowship. 

Ac.  8—17  Then  laid  they  their 
hands  on  them,  and  they  received 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

Ac.  13—2  As  they  ministered  to 
the  Lord,  and  fasted,  the  Holy 
Ghost  said.  Separate  me  Barnabas 
and  Saul  for  the  work  whereunto 
I  have  called  them. 


3  And  when  they  had  fasted 
and  prayed,  and  laid  their  hands 
on  them,  they  sent  them  away.

Ro.  9—6  Not  as  though  the  word

For  they  are  not  all  Israel,  which 
are  of  Israel. 

Ro.  10—1  Brethren,  my  heart's 
desire  and  prayer  to  God  for  Israel 
is,  that  they  might  be  saved.

they  have  a  zeal  of  God,  but  not

idols  nor  graven  image,  neither 
shall  ye  set  up  any  image  of  stone 
in  your  land,  to  bow  down  unto 
it:  for  I  am  the  Lord  yovir  God.

they  shall  go  to  confusion  to- 
gether that  are  makers  of  idols. 

Ps.  115—2  Wherefore  should  the 
heathen  say,  "Where  is  their  God? 

3  But  our  God  is  in  the  heavens: 
he  hath  done  whatsoever  he  hath 
pleased. 

4  Their  idols  are  silver  and  gold, 
the  work  of  men's  hands. 

5  They  have  mouths,  but  they 
speak  not:  eyes  have  they,  but 
they  see  not: 

6  They  have  ears,  but  they  hear 
not:  noses  have  they,  but  they 
smgll  not: 

7  They  have  hands,  but  they 
handle  not:  feet  have  they,  but 
they  walk  not:  neither  speak  they 
through  thek  throat. 

8  They  that  make  them  are  like 
unto  them ;  so  is  every  one  that 
trusteth  in  them. 

1  Co.  10 — 14  Wherefore,  my  dearly 
beloved,  flee  from  idolatry.

yourselves  from  idols.  See  also

ass  couching  do\\Ti  between  two 
burdens: 

15  And  he  saw  that  rest  was 
good,  and  the  land  that  it  was 
pleasant ;  and  bowed  his  shoulder 
to  bear,  and  became  a  servant  un- 
to tribute. 

2  Ki.  19—26  Their  inhabitants 
were  of  small  power,  they  were 
dismayed  and  confotmded :  they 
were  as  the  grass  of  the  field,  and 
as  the  green  herb,  as  the  grass  on 
the  housetops,  and  ascorn  blasted 
before  it  be  grown  up. 

Ps.  147—17  He  casteth  forth  his 
ice  like  morsels:  who  can  stand 
before  his  cold? 

Pro.  5—12  I  hated  instruction, 
and  my  heart  despised  reproof; 

13  And  have  not  obeyed  the  voice 
of  my  teachers,  nor  inclined  mine 
ear  to  them  that  instructed  me ! 

Pro.  12—1  Whoso  loveth  instruc-

Eze.  16—49  Pride,  fulness  of 
bread,  and  abiindance  of  idleness

shame.

Clirist  with  Belial?  or  what  part

infidel?

being  a  Jew,  ask  est  drink  of  me?

Ac.  18—2  And  a  certain  Jew 
named  Aquila,  lately  come  from 
Italy,  with  his  wife  Priscilla,  (be- 
cause that  Claudius  had  com- 
manded all  Jews  to  depart  from 
Rome.) 

Ro.2— 9  Tribulation  and  angtiish, 
upon  every  soul  of  man  that  doeth 
evil ;  of  the  Jew  first,  and  also  of 
the  Gentile ; 


137 


10  But  gloiT.  honour,  .and  peace, 
to  every  man  that  worketh  good ; 
to  the  Jew  first,  and  also  to  the 
Gentile: 

11  For  there  is  no  respect  of  per- 
sons with  God. 

28  For  he  is  not  a  Jew,  which  is 
one  outwardly;  neither  is  that 
circumcision,  which  is  outward 
in  the  flesh : 

29  But  he  is  a  Jew,  which  is 
one  inwardly;  and  circumcision 
is  that  of  the  heart,  in  the  spirit, 
and  not  in  the  letter;  whose 
praise  is  not  of  men,  but  of  God. 

Ro.  3 — 1  What  advantage  then 
hath  the  Jew?  or  what  profit  is 
there  of  circumcision? 

2  Much  every  way :  chiefly,  be- 
cause that  unto  them  were  com- 
mitted the  oracles  of  God. 

3  For  what  if  some  did  not  be- 
lieve? shall  then-  unbelief  make 
the  faith  of  God  without  effect? 

1  Co.  1—20  Where  is  the  wise? 
where  is  the  scribe?  where  is  the 
dispvxter  of  this  world?  hath  not 
God  made  foolish  the  wisdom  of 
this  world? 

21  For  after  that  in  the  wisdom 
of  God  the  world  by  wisdom  knew 
not  God,  it  pleased  God  by  the 
foolishness  of  preaching  to  save 
them  that  believe. 

22  For  the  Jews  require  a  sign, 
and  the  Greeks  seek  after  wis- 
dom: 

23  But  wepreachChristcrucified, 
unto  the  Jews  a  stumblingblock, 
and  unto  the  Greeks  foolishness ; 

24  But  rmto  them  which  are 
called,  both  Jews  and  Greeks, 
Christ  the  power  of  God,  and  the 
wisdom  of  God. 

25  Because  thefoolishnessof  God 
is  wiser  than  men ;  and  the  weak- 
ness of  God  is  stronger  than  men. 

26  For  ye  see  your  calling,  breth- 
ren, how  that  not  many  wise  men 
after  the  fleeh,  not  many  mighty, 
not  many  noble,  are  called: 

27  But  God  hath  chosen  the  fool- 
ish things  of  the  world  to  confound 
the  wise;  and  God  hath  chosen 
the  weak  things  of  the  world  to 
confound  the  things  which  are 
mighty- 

28  And  base  thmgs  of  the  world, 
and  things  which  are  despised, 
hath  God  chosen,  yea,  and  things 
which  are  not,  to  bring  to  nought 
things  that  are. 

I  Co.  9—20  And  unto  the  Jews  I 
became  as  a  Jew,  that  I  might 
gain  the  Jews. 


Ro.  10—12  Tliere  is  no  difference 
between  the  Jew  and  the  Greek : 
for  the  same  Lord  over  all  is  rich 
unto  all  that  call  upon  him. 

13  For  whosover  shall  call  upon 
the  name  of  the  Lord  shall  be 
saved. 

1  Co.  12—13  For  by  one  Spirit  are 
we  all  baptized  into  one  body, 
whether  we  be  Jews  or  Gentiles, 
whether  we  be  bond  or  free;  and 
have  been  all  made  to  drink  into 
one  Spirit. 

Gal.  3—28  There  is  neither  Jew 
nor  Greek,  there  is  neither  bond 
nor  free,  there  is  neither  male  nor 
female:  for  ye  are  all  one  in 
Christ  Jesus. 

Col.  3—11  Where  there  is  neither 
Greek  nor  Jew,  circumcision  nor 
uncircumcision,  Barbarian,  Scy- 
thian, bond  nor  free:  but  Christ 
is  all,  and  in  all. 

Da.  5—13  And  the  king  spake 
and  said  unto  Daniel,  Art  thou 
that  Daniel,  which  art  of  the 
children  of  the  captivity  of 
Judah,  whom  the  king  my  father 
brought  out  of  Jewry?    p.  391. 

Jno.  7—1  After  these  things 
Jesus  walked  in  Galilee:  for  he 
would  not  walk  in  Jewry,  because 
the  Jews  sought  to  kill  nim. 


Ge.  10—2  The  sons  of  Japeth. 

5  By  these  were  the  isles  of  the 
Gentiles  divided  in  their  lands; 
every  one  after  his  tongue,  after 
their  families,  in  their  nations. 

Ac.  15—14  Simeon  hath  declared 
how  God  at  the  first  did  visit  the 
Gentiles,  to  take  out  of  them  a 
people  for  his  name.

be  trodden  down  of  the  Gentiles, 
until  the  times  of  the  Gentiles 
be  fulfilled,    p.  487. 

Ac.  13—46  Paul  and  Barnabas 
said.  It  M'as  necessary  that  the 
word  of  God  should  first  have  been 
spoken  to  you:  but  seeing  ye  put 
it  from  you,  and  judge  yourselves 
unworthy  of  everlasting  life,  lo, 
we  turn  to  the  Gentiles. 

47  For  so  hath  the  Lord  com- 
manded us,  saying,  I  have  set 
thee  to  be  a  light  of  the  Gentiles, 
that  thou  shouldest  be  for  salva- 
tion unto  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

48  And  when  the  Gentiles  heard 
this,  they  were  glad,  and  glorified 
the  word  of   the   Lord:    and    as 


138 


many  as  were  ordained  to  eternal 
life  believed. 

Is.  49—6  I  will  also  give  thee  for 
a  light  to  the  Gentiles,  that  thou 
mayest  be  my  salvation  tmto  the 
end  of  the  earth,    p.  471. 

Ac.  15—7  Peter  rose  up,  and  said 
unto  them,  Men  and  brethren,  ve 
know  how  that  a  good  while  ago 
God  made  choice  among  us,  that 
the  Gentiles  by  my  mouth  should 
hear  the  word  of  the  gospel,  and 
believe. 

8  And  God,  which  knoweth  the 
hearts,  bare  them  witness,  giving 
them  the  Holy  Ghost,  even  as  he 
did  unto  us ; 

9  And  put  no  difference  be- 
tween us  and  them,  purifying 
their  hearts  by  faith.

Ex.  23—2  Thou  Shalt  not  follow 
a  multitude  to  do  evil:  neither 
speak  in  a  cause  to  decline  after 
many  to  WTest  judgment: 

3  Neither  shalt  thou  counte-

6  Thou  shalt  not  wrest  the  judg-

Le.l9— 15  Yeshall  do  no  unright- 
eousness in  judgment ;  thou  shalt 
not  respect  the  person  of  the  poor, 
not  honour  the  person  of  the 
mighty:  but  in  righteousness 
shalt  thou  judge  thy  neighbour. 

De.  1—16  And  I  charged  your 
judges  at  that  time,  saying.  Hear 
the  causes  between  your  brethren, 
and  judge  righteously  between 
every  man  and  his  brother,  and 
the  stranger  that  is  with  him. 

17  Ye  shall  not  respect  persons 
in  judgment;  but  ye  shall  hear 
the  small  as  well  as  the  great ;  ye 
shall  not  be  afraid  of  the  face  of 
man;  for  the  judgment  is  God's: 
and  the  cause  that  is  too  hard  for 
you,  bring  it  unto  me. 

De.  16—18  Judges  and  officers 
•shalt  thou  make  thee  in  all  thy 
gates,  which  the  Lokd  thy  God 
giveth  thee,  throughout  thy 
tribes:  and  they  shall  judge  the 
people  with  just  judgment. 

19  Thou  shalt  not  wrest  judg- 
ment ;  thou  shalt  not  respect  per- 
sons, neither  take  a  gift :  for  a  gift 
doth  blind  the  eyes  of  the  wise. 


and   pervert    the  words  of    tiie 
righteous. 

De.  17—8  If  there  arise  a  matter 
too  hard  for  thee  in  judgment,  be- 
tween blood  and  blood,  between 
plea  and  plea,  and  between  stroke 
and  stroke,  being  matters  of  con- 
troversy withui  thy  gates:  then 
shalt  thou  arise,  and  get  thee  up 
into  the  place  which  the  Lord 
thy  God  shall  choose  ; 

9  And  thou  shalt  come  unto  the 
priests  the  Levites,  and  unto  the 
judge  that  shall  be  in  those  days, 
and  inquire ;  and  they  shall  shew 
thee  the  sentence  of  judgment: 

10  And  thou  shalt  do  according 
to  the  sentence,  which  they  of 
that  place  which  the  Lord  shall 
choose  shall  shew  thee;  and  thou 
shalt  observe  to  do  according  to 
all  that  they  inform  thee: 

11  According  to  the  sentence  of 
the  law  which  they  shall  teach 
thee,  and  according  to  the  judg- 
ment which  they  shall  tell  thee, 
thou  shalt  do: 

12  And  the  man  that  will  do 
presumptuously,  and  will  not 
hearken  unto  the  priest  that 
standeth  to  minister  there  before 
the  Lord  thy  God,  or  unto  the 
judge,  even  that  man  shall  die: 
and  thou  shalt  put  away  the  evil 
from  Israel. 

De.  25—1  If  there  be  a  contro- 
versy between  men,  and  they 
come  unto  judgment,  that  the 
judges  may  judge  them :  then 
they  shall  justify  the  righteous, 
and  condemn  the  wicked. 

2  And  it  shall  be,  if  the  wicked 
man  be  worthy  to  be  beaten,  that 
the  judge  shall  cause  him  to  lie 
down,  and  to  be  beaten  before  his 
face,  according  to  his  fault,  by  a 
certain  number. 

3  Forty  stripes  he  may  give  him. 
and  not  exceed :  lest,  if  he  should 
exceed,  and  beat  him  above  these 
with  many  stripes,  then  thy  broth- 
er should  seem  vile  unto  thee. 

De.  27—19  Cursed  be  he  that 
perverteth  the  judgment  of  the 
stranger,  fatherless,  and  widow: 
and  all  the  people  shall  say,  Amen. 

Job  9—20  If  I  justify  myself, 
mine  own  mouth  shall  condemn 
me:  if  I  say,  I  am  perfect,  it  shall 
also  prove  me  perverse. 

Job  14—3  And  dost  thou  open 
thine  eyes  upon  such  a  one,  and 
bringest  me  into  judgment  with 
thee? 


139 


Job  34—4  Let  us  choose  to  us 
judgment:  let  us  know  among 
ourselves  wliat  is  good. 

Ps.  9—7  But  the  Lord  shall  en- 
dure forever:  he  hath  prepared 
his  tlu-one  for  judgment. 

8  And  he  shall  judge  the  world 
in  righteousness,  he  shall  min- 
ister judgment  to  the  people  tu 
uprightness. 

Ps.  82—1  God  standeth  in  the 
congregation  of  the  mighty;  he 
judgeth  among  the  gods. 

2  How  long  will  ye  judge  \va- 
justly,  and  accept  the  persons  of 
the  wicked?    Selah. 

3  Defend  the  poor  and  father- 
less: do  justice  to  the  afflicted 
and  needy. 

Pro.  4—18  But  the  path  of  the 
just  is  as  tlie  shining  liglit,  that 
shineth  more  and  more  mito  the 
perfect  day. 

Pro.  10—7  The  memory  of  the 
just  is  blessed:  but  the  name  of 
the  wicked  shall  rot. 

Pro.  11—9  A  hypocrite  with  his 
mouth  destroyeth  his  neighbour: 
but  through  knowledge  shall  the 
just  be  delivered. 

Pro.  12—21  There  shall  no  evil 
happen  to  the  just :  but  the  wicked 
shall  be  filled  with  mischief. 

Pro.  13—23  Much  food  is  in  the 
tillage  of  the  poor:  but  there  is 
that  is  destroyed  for  want  of 
judgment. 

Pro.  17—15  He  that  justifieth 
the  wicked,  and  he  that  condemn- 
eth  the  just,  even  they  both  are 
abomination  to  the  Lord. 

Pro.  19—28  An  ungodly  witness 
scorneth  judgment:  and  the 
mouth  of  the  wicked  devoureth 
iniquity. 

29  Judgments  are  prepared  for 
scorners,  and  stripes  for  tlie  back 
of  fools. 

Pro.  21—3  To  do  justice  and 
judgment  is  more  acceptable  to 
the  Lord  than  sacrifice. 

Pro.  31—9  Open  thy  mouth, 
judge  righteously,  and  plead  the 
cause  of  the  poor  and  needy. 

Ec.  8—6  Because  to  every  pur- 
pose there  is  time  and  judgment, 
therefore  the  misery  of  man  is 
great  upon  him.    p.  194. 

Mi.  7-311  That  they  may  do  evil 
with  both  hands  earnestly,  the 
prince  asketh,  and  the  judge  ask- 
eth  for  a  reward :  and  the  great 
man,  he  uttereth  his  mischievous 
desire :  so  they  wrap  it  up. 


Is.  59 — 4  Nonecalleth  for  justice, 
nor  any  pleadeth  for  truth:  they 
trust  in  vanity,  and  speak  lies; 
they  conceive  mischief,  and  bring 
forth  iniquity. 

8  The  way  of  peace  they  know 
not;  and  there  is  no  judgment  in 
their  goings:  they  have  made 
them  crooked  paths;  whosoever 
goeth  therein  shallnotknowpeace. 

9  Therefore  is  jiidgment  far 
from  us,  neither  doth  justice  over- 
take us:  we  wait  for  light,  but 
behold  obscurity;  for  brightness, 
but  we  walk  in  darkness. 

11  We  roar  all  like  bears,  and 
mourn  sore  like  doves:  we  look 
for  judgment,  but  there  is  none; 
for  salvation,  but  it  is  far  off. 

14  And  judgment  is  turned  away- 
backward,  and  justice  standeth 
afar  off:  for  truth  is  fallen  m  the 
street,  and  equity  cannot  enter. 

15  Yea,  truth  faileth;  and  he 
that  departeth  from  evil  maketh 
himself  a  prey:  and  the  Lord 
saw  it,  and  it  displeased  him  that 
there  was  no  judgment. 

Je.  5—28  They  judge  not  the 
cause,  the  cause  of  the  fatherless, 
yet  they  prosper;  and  the  right 
of  the  needy  do  they  not  judge. 

Am.  5 — 7  Ye  who  tui'u  judgment 
to  wormwood,  and  leave  off  right- 
eousness in  the  earth. 

Am.  6—12  Ye  have  turned  judg- 
ment into  gall,  and  the  fruit  of 
righteousness  into  hemlock. 

Hah.  2—4  Behold,  his  soul  which 
is  lifted  up  is  not  upright  in  him ; 
but  the  just  shall  live  by  his  faitli, 

Zep.  3—3  Her  princes  within  her 
are  roaring  lions ;  her  judges  are 
evening  wolves;  they  gnaw  not 
the  bones  till  the  morrow. 

Lu.  6—37  Judge  not,  and  ye  shall 
not  be  judged :  condemn  not,  and 
ye  shall  not  be  condemned:  for- 
give, aild  ye  shall  be  forgiven. 

Lu.  18—2  Tliere  was  in  a  city  a 
judge,  which  feared  not  God, 
neither  regarded  man : 

3  And  tliere  was  a  widow  in 
that  city ;  and  she  came  unto  him, 
saying.  Avenge  me  of  mine  ad- 
versary. 

4  And  he  would  not  for  a  while: 
but  afterward  he  said  within  him- 
self, Though  I  fear  not  God,  nor 
regard  man; 

5  Yet  because  this  widow  troub- 
leth  me,  I  will  avenge  her,  lest  by 
her  continual  coming  she  weary , 
me. 


140 


6  And  the  Lord  said,  Hear  what 
the  unjust  judge  saitli. 

7  And  shall  not  God  avenge  his 
own  elect,  which  crj'  day  and 
night  unto  him,  though  he  bear 
long  with  them? 

8  1  tell  you  that  he  will  avenge 
them  speedily.  Nevertheless, 
when  the  Son  of  man  cometh, 
shall  he  tind  faith  on  the  earth? 

Mat.  7—1  Judge  not,  that  ye  be 
not  judged. 

2  For  with  what  judgment  ye 
judge,  ye  shall  be  judged:  and 
with  what  measure  ye  mete,  it 
shall  be  measured  to  you  again. 

Jno.  7 — 24  Judge  not  according  to 
the  appearance,  but  judge  right- 
eous judgment. 

Jno.  12 — 47  And  if  any  man  hear 
my  words,  and  believe  not,  1  judge 
him  not :  for  I  came  not  to  judge 
the  world,  but  to  save  the  world. 

48  He  that  i-ejecteth  me,  and 
receiveth  not  my  words,  hath  one 
that  judgeth  him :  the  word  that  I 
have  spoken,  the  same  .shall  judge 
him  in  the  last  day. 

Ro.  2—1  Therefore  thou  art  in- 
excusable, O  man,  whosoever  thou 
art  that  judgest :  for  wherein  thou 
judgest  another,  thou  condemn- 
est  thyself;  for  thou  that  judgest 
doest  the  same  things. 

2  But  we  are  sure  that  the  judg- 
ment of  God  is  according  to  truth 
against  them  which  commit  such 
things. 

3  And  thinkest  thou  this,  O  man, 
that  judgest  them  which  do  such 
things,  and  doest  the  same,  that 
thou  shalt  escape  the  judgment 
of  God? 

Ro.  14—10  But  why  dost  thou 
judge  thy  brother?  or  why  dost 
thou  set  at  nought  thy  brother? 
for  we  shall  all  stand  before  the 
judgment  seat  of  Christ. 

13  Let  us  not  therefore  judge  one 
another  any  more:  but  judge  this 
rather,  that  no  man  put  a  stum- 
blingblock  or  an  occasion  to  fall 
in  his  brother's  way. 

iXJo.  4—3  But  with  me  it  is  a  very 
small  thing  that  I  should  be 
judged  of  you,  or  of  man's  judg- 
ment: yea,  I  judge  not  mine  own 
self. 

4  For  I  know  nothing  by  my- 
self: yet  am  I  not  hereby  justi- 
fied: bxit  he  that  judgeth  me  is 
the  Lord. 

5  Therefore  judge  nothing  be- 
fore the  time,   mitil    the    Lord 


come,  who  both  will  bring  to  light 
the  hidden  things  of  darkness.and 
will  make  manifest  the  counsels 
of  the  hearts. 

1  Co.  6—2  Do  ye  not  know  that 
the  samts  shall  judge  the  world? 
and  if  the  world  shall  be  judged 
by  you,  are  ye  unworthy  to  judge 
the  smallest  matters? 

3  Know  ye  not  that  we  shall 
judge  angels?  how  much  more 
things  that  pertain  to  this  life? 

4  If  then  ye  have  judgments  of 
things  pertaining  to  this  life,  set 
them  to  judge  who  are  least  es- 
teemed in  the  church. 

2  Co.  5—10  For  we  must  all  ap- 
pear before  the  judgment  seat  of 
Clu-ist;  that  every  one  may  re- 
ceive tbe  things  done  in  his  body, 
according  to  that  he  hath  done, 
whether  it  be  good  or  bad. 

Ja.  4—11  Speak  not  evil  one  of 
another,  brethren.  He  that  speak- 
eth  evil  of  his  brother,  and  judg- 
eth his  brother,  speaketh  evil  of 
the  law,  and  judgeth  the  law :  but 
if  thou  judge  the  law,  thou  art  not 
a  doer  of  the  law,  but  a  judge. 

12  There  is  one  lawgiver,  who  is 
able  to  save  and  to  destroy:  who 
art  thou  that  judgest  another? 

Ja.  5—9  Grudge  not  one  against 
another,  brethren,  lest  ye  be  con- 
demned :  behold,  the  judge  stand- 
eth  before  the  door. 

1  Pe.  4—17  For  the  time  is  come 
that  judgment  must  begin  at  the 
house  of  God :  and  if  it  first  begin 
at  us,  what  shall  the  end  be  of 
them  that  obey  not  the  gospel  of 
God?

SS.  1—10  Thy  cheeks  are  comely 
with  rows  of  jewels,  thy  neck  with 
chains  of  gold.    p.  171. 

Eze.  IG— 11  I  decked  thee  also 
with  ornaments,  and  I  put  brace- 
lets upon  thy  hands,  and  a  chain 
on  thy  neck. 

12  And  I  put  a  jewel  on  thy  fore- 
head, and  earrings  in  thine  ears, 
and  a  beautiful  crown  upon  thine 
head. 

Ho.  2—13  And  she  decked  her- 
self with  her  earrings  and  her 
iewels,  and  she  went  after  her 
lovers,  and  forgat  me,  saith  the 
Lord.

Mai.  3—17  Aud  they  shall  he 
mine,  saitli  the  Lord  of  hosts,  iu 
that  day  when  I  make  up  my  jew- 
els ;  and  I  will  spare  them,  as  a  man 
spare th  his  own  sou.    p.  486. 


Ps.  5—11  Let  all  those  that  put 
their  trust  in  thee  rejoice:  let 
them  ever  shout  for  joy :  let  them 
also  that  love  thy  name  be  joyful 
in  thee. 

Is.  9 — 3  Thou  hast  multiplied  the 
nation,  and  not  increasea  the  joy ; 
they  joy  before  thee  according  to 
the  joy  in  harvest,  and  as  men 
rejoice  when  they  divide  the 
spoil. 

Lu.  2—10  Behold,  I  bring  you 
good  tidiugs  of  great  joy,  which 
shall  be  to  all  people. 

Jno.  16—22  And  ye  now  have  sor- 
row: but  I  will  see  you  again,  and 
your  heart  shall  rejoice,  and  your 
]oy  no  man  taketh  from  you. 

24  Ask,  and  ye  shall  receive, 
that  your  joy  may  be  full. 


Pro.  6—34  For  jealousy  is  the  rage 
of  a  man:  therefore  lie  will  not 
spare  in  the  day  of  vengeance. 

35  He  will  not  regard  any  ran- 
som ;  neither  will  he  rebt  content, 
though  thou  givest  many  gifts. 

SS.  8— ti  Set  me  as  a  seal  upon 
thine  heart,  as  a  seal  upon  thiue 
arm :  for  love  is  strong  as  death ; 
jealousy  is  cruel  as  the  grave:  the 
coals  thereof  are  coals  of  lire, 
which  hath  a  most  vehement 
flame,    p.  174. 

Nu.  5—11  H  And  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Moses,  saying, 

12  Speak  unto  the  children  of 
Israel,  and  say  unto  them.  If  any 
man's  wife  go  aside,  aud  commit 
a  trespass  against  him, 

13  And  a  man  lie  with  her  car- 
nally, and  it  be  hid  from  the  eyes 
of  her  husband,  and  be  kept  close, 
and  she  be  defiled,  aud  there  be 
no  witness  against  her,  neither  she 
be  taken  with  the  manner ; 

14  And  the  spirit  of  jealousy 
come  upon  him,  and  he  be  jealous 
of  his  wife,  and  she  be  defiled ;  or 
if  the  spirit  of  jealousy  come  upon 
him,  and  he  be  jealous  of  his  wife, 
and  she  be  not  defiled : 

15  Then  shall  the  man  bring  his 
wife  unto  the  priest,  and  he  shall 
bring  her  offering  for  her,  the 
tenth  part  of  an  ephah  of  barley 
meal;  he  shall  pour  no  oil  upon 


it,  uor  put  fraukiuceuse  thereon; 
for  it  is  an  offering  of  iealousy, 
an  offering  of  memorial,  bringiug 
iuiquity  to  remembrance. 

16  And  the  priest  shall  bring  her 
near,  aud  set  her  before  the  Lord  : 

17  And  the  priest  shall  take  holy 
water  in  an  earthen  vessel ;  and  of 
the  dust  that  is  in  the  floor  of  the 
tabernacle  the  priest  shall  take, 
and  put  it  into  the  water : 

18  And  the  priest  shall  set  the 
woman  before  the  Lord,  and  un- 
cover the  woman's  head,  and  put 
the  offermg  of  memorial  in  her 
hands,  which  is  the  jealousy  offer- 
ing: and  the  priest  shall  have  in 
his  hand  the  bitter  water  that 
causeth  the  curse : 

19  And  the  priest  shall  charge 
her  by  an  oath,  and  say  unto  the 
woman,  If  no  man  have  lain  ■with 
thee,  aud  if  thou  hast  not  gone 
aside  to  uncleannesswith  another 
instead  of  thy  husband,  be  thou 
free  from  this  bitter  water  that 
causeth  the  curse : 

20  But  if  thou  hast  gone  aside 
to  another  instead  of  thy  husband, 
and  if  thou  be  defiled,  and  some 
man  have  lain  with  thee  besides 
thine  husband : 

21  Then  the  priest  shall  charge 
the  woman  with  an  oath,  and  the 
priest  shall  say  unto  the  woman. 
The  Lord  make  thee  a  curse  and 
an  oath  among  thy  people,  when 
the  Lord  doth  make  thy  thigh  to 
rot,  and  thy  belly  to  swell ; 

22  And  this  water  that  causeth 
the  curse  shall  go  into  thy  bowels, 
to  make  thy  belly  to  swell,  and 
thy  thigh  to  rot.  And  the  woman 
shall  say.  Amen,  amen. 

23  And  the  priest  shall  write 
these  curses  in  a  l)ook,  and  he 
shall  blot  them  out  with  the  bitter 
water: 

24  And  he  shall  cause  the  wo- 
man to  drink  the  bitter  water  that 
causeth  the  curse :  aud  the  water 
that  causeth  the  curse  shall  enter 
into  her,  aud  become  bitter. 

25  Then  the  priest  shall  take  the 
jealousy  offermg  out  of  the  wo- 
man's hand,  and  shall  wave  the 
offering  before  the  Lord,  and 
offer  it  upon  the  altar: 

26  And  the  priest  shall  take  a 
handful  of  the  offering,  even  the 
memorial  thereof,  and  burn  it 
upon  the  altar,  and  afterward 
shall  cause  the  woman  to  drink 
the  water. 


142 


27  And  when  he  hath  made  her 
to  drink  the  water,  then  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  if  she  be  defiled, 
and  have  done  trespass  against 
her  husband,  that  the  water  that 
causeth  the  curse  shall  enter  into 
her,  and  become  bitter,  and  her 
Iselly  shall  swell  and  her  thigh 
shall  rot:  and  the  woman  shall 
be  a  curse  among  her  people. 

28  And  if  the  woman  be  not 
defiled,  but  be  clean:  then  she 
shall  be  free,  and  shall  conceive 
seed. 

29  This  is  the  law  of  jealousies, 
"wlieu  a  wife  goeth  aside  to 
another  instead  of  her  husband; 

30  Or  when  the  spirit  of  jealousy 
Cometh  upon  him,  and  he  be  jeal- 
ous over  liis  wife,  and  shall  set 
the  woman  before  the  Lord,  and 
the  priest  shall  execute  upon  her 
all  tliis  law. 

31  Then  shall  the  man  be  guilt- 
less from  iniquity,  and  this  wo- 
man shall  bear  her  iniquity.

en set  up  a  kingdom,  which  shall 
never  be  destroyed:  and  the  king- 
dom shall  not  be  left  to  other  peo- 
ple, but  it  shall  break  in  pieces  an  d 
consume  all  these  kingdoms,  and 
it  shall  stand  forever,  p.  389;  Da. 
7,  p.  394. 

Mat.  4—17  Jesus  began  to  preach, 
and  to  say.  Repent:  for  the  king- 
dom of  heaven  is  at  hand. 

Lu.  13—28  There  shall  be  weep- 
ing and  gnashing  of  teeth,  when 
ye  shall  see  Abraham,  and  Isaac, 
and  Jacob,  and  all  the  prophets, 
in  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  you 
yoiu'selves  thrust  out. 

29  And  they  shall  come  from 
the  east,  the  west,  the  north,  and 
from  the  south,  and  shall  sit 
down  in  the  kingdom  of  God. 

Lu.  17—20  And  when  he  was 
demanded  of  the  Pharisees,  when 
the  kingdom  of  God  should  come, 
he  answered  them  and  said,  The 
kingdom  of  God  cometh  not  with 
observation : 

21  Neither  shall  they  say,  Lo 
here!  or,  lo  there!  for,  behold, 
the  kingdom  of  God  is  within 
you. 

Lu.  18—29  And  he  said.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you.  There  is  no  man 
that  hath  left  house,  or  parents, 
or  brethren,  or  wife,  or  children, 
for  the  kingdom  of  God's  sake, 

:in  Who  shall  not  receive  mani- 
fold more  in  this  present  time, 
and  in  the  world  to  come  life 
everlasting. 

1  Co.  6—9  Know  ye  not  that  the 
imrighteous  shall  not  inherit  the 
kingdom  of  God?  Be  not  de- 
ceived: neither  foniicators,  nor 
idolaters,  nor  adulterers,  nor  ef- 
feminate, nor  abusers  of  them- 
selves with  mankind, 

10  Nor  thieves,  nor  covetous, 
nor  drunkards,  nor  revilers,  nor 
extortioners,  shall  inherit  the 
khigdomof  God.  Mat.  21. 31, p.  204. 
Ep.  5—5  For  no  whoremonger, 
nor  unclean  person,  nor  covetous 
man,  who  is  an  idolater,  hath 
anv  inheritance  in  the  kingdom 
of  Christ  and  of  God. 

Re.  11—15  And  there  were  great 
voices  in  heaven,  saying.  The 
kuigdoms  of  this  world  are  be- 
come the  kingdoms  of  our  Lord, 
and  of  his  Christ;  and  he  shall 
reign  for  ever  and  ever.   p.  532.

Ps.  45—1  My  heart  is  inditmg  a 
good  matter:  I  speak  of  the  things 
which  I  have  made  touching  the 
King :  my  tongue  is  the  pen  of  a 
ready  writer.     . 

2  Thou  art  fairer  than  the  chil- 
dren of  men:  grace  is  poured  into 
thy  lips;  therefore  God  hath 
blessed  thee  for  ever. 

sGird  thy  sword  upon  thy  thigh, 
O  most  Mighty,  with  thy  glory 
and  thy  majesty. 

4  And  in  thy  majesty  ride  pros- 
perously, because  of  truth  and 
meekness  and  righteousness ;  and 
thy  right  hand  shall  teach  thee 
terrible  thmgs. 

5  Thine  arrows  are  sharp  m 
the  heart  of  the  Kuig's  enemies; 
whereby  the  people  fall  under 
thee. 


6  Thy  throne,  O  God,  is  for  ever 
and  ever:  the  sceptre  of  thy  king- 
dom is  a  right  sceptre. 

7  Tliou  lovest  rigliteousness,  and 
hatest  wickedness:  therefore  God, 
thy  God,  hath  anointed  thee  with 
the  oil  of  gladness  above  thy 
fellows." 

Da.  7—14  And  there  was  given 
him  domuuon,  and  glory,  and  a 
kingdom,  that  all  people,  nations, 
and  languages,  should  serve  him: 
his  dominion  is  an  everlasting  do-

divided  against  itself  shall  not

ing to  the  Lord  and  Samuel,  1  Sa. 
12.  17,  p.  248.  Yet  the  Lord  told 
Samuel  to  make  them  a  king: 
and  the  Lord  chose  Saul  out  of  all 
Israel,  saying  to  Samuel.  "  Behold 
the  man  whom  I  spake  to  thee  of, 
this  same  shall  rule  over  my  peo- 
ple," and  Samuel  anointed  Saul 
King  (1  Sa.  9. 17  and  1  Sa.  10.  l) ;  and 
then  the  Lord  repented,  because 
he  had  chosen  him  to  be  King 
over  all  Israel,  1  Sa.  15.  1-35.  See

Ge.  36—1  Now  these  are  the  gen- 
erations of  Esau,  who  is  Edom. 

31  And  these  are  the  kings  that 
reigned  in  the  land  of  Edom,  be- 
fore there  reigned  any  king  over 
the  children  of  Israel. 

Nu.  21—21  And  Israel  sent  mes- 
sengers xmto  Sihon  king  of  the 
Amorites,  saying, 

22  Let  me  pass  through  thy 
land:  we  will  not  turn  into  the 
fields,  or  into  the  vineyards-  we 
will  not  drink  of  the  waters  of  the 
well:  but  we  will  go  along  by  the 
king's  high  way. 

23  And  Sihon  would  not  suffer 
Israel  to  pass  through  his  border: 
but  gathered  all  his  people  to- 
gether, and  fought  against  Israel. 

24  And  Israel  smote  him  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  and  pos- 
sessed his  land. 

33  And  they  turned  and  went 
up  by  the  way  of  Bashan:  and 
Og  the  king  of  Bashan  went  out 
against  them  to  the  battle. 

35  So  they  smote  him,  and  pos- 
sessed his  land. 

De.  3— €  And  we  utterly  de- 
stroyed them,  as  we  did  unto 
Sihon  king  of  Heshbon,  utterly 
destroying  the  men,  women,  and 
children,  of  every  city. 

De.  20—16  Of  the  cities  of  these 
people,  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
doth  give  thee  for  an  inheritance, 
thou  Shalt  save  alive  nothing  that 
breatheth. 

Nu.  23—21  He  hath  not  beheld 
iniquity  in  Jacob,  neither  hath 
he  seen  perverseness  in  Israel: 
the  Lord  his  God  is  with  him, 
and  the  shout  of  a  king  is  among 
them. 

Jos.  12—7  And  these   are    the 


kings  which  Joshua  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  smote: 

9  The  king  of  Jericho,  one ;  the 
king  of  Ai,  which  is  beside  Beth- 
el, one; 

10  The  king  of  Jerusalem,  one; 
the  king  of  Hebron,  one ;

king  of  Gilgal,  one ; 

24  The  king  of  Tirzah,  one ;  all 
the  kings  thirty  and  one. 

1  Sa.  24—14  After  whom  is  the 
king  of  Israel  come  out?  after 
whom  dost  thou  pursue?  after  a 
dead  dog,  after  a  flea? 

1  Sa.  26—20  Fo5  the  king  of  Is- 
rael is  come  out  to  seek  a  flea,  as 
when  one  doth  hunt  a  partridge 
in  the  mountains. 

1  Ki- 10—23  So  king  Solomon  ex- 
ceeded all  the  kings  of  the  earth

stood  not  before  Jehu,  how  then 
shall  we  stand?    p.  377. 

Est.  5—6  And  the  king  said  unto 
Esther  at  the  banquet  of  wine. 
What  is  thy  petition?  and  it  shall 
be  granted  thee:  and  what  is  thy 
request?  even  to  the  half  of  the 
kmgdom  it  shall  be  performed. 

Job  29—25  I  chose  out  their  way, 
and  sat  chief,  and  dwelt  as  a  king

Job  36—7  He  withdraweth  not 
his  eves  from  the  righteous:  but 
with  kings  are  they  on  the  throne ; 
yea,  he  doth  establish  them  for 
ever,  and  they  are  exalted.

Ps.  33—16  There  is  no  king  saved 
bj^  the  multitude  of  a  host:  a 
mighty  man  is  not  delivered  by 
much  strength. 

Pro.  8— 15  By  me  kings  reign, and 
princes  decree  justice. 

16  Byrne  princes  rule, and  nobles, 
even  all  the  judges  of  the  earth. 

Pro.  14—28  In  the  multitude  of 
people  is  the  king's  honour:  but 
in  the  want  of  people  is  the  de- 
struction of  the  prince. 

35  The  king's  favour  is  toward 
a  wise  servant :  but  his  wrath  is 
against  him  that  causeth  shame. 

Pro.  IC— 10  A  divine  sentence  is 
in  the  lips  of  the  king:  his  mouth 
trausgresseth  not  in  judgment. 

12  It  is  an  abomination  to  kings 
to  commit  wickedness:  the  throne 
is  established  by  righteousness. 

13  Righteous  lipsare  the  delight 
of  kings;  and  they  love  him  that 
speaketh  right. 

14  The  wrath  of  a  king  is  as  mes- 
sengers of  death:  but  a  wise  man 
willpacify  it. 

15  In  the  light  of  the  king's 
coiintenance  is  life;  and  his  fa- 
vour is  as  a  cloud  of  the  latter  rain. 

Pro.  19—12  The  king's  wrath  is 
as  the  roaring  of  a  lion;  but  his 
favour  is  as  dew  upon  the  grass. 

Pro.  20—2  The  fear  of  a  king  is 
as  the  roaring  of  a  lion;  whoso 
provoketh  him  to  anger  sinneth 
against  his  own  soul. 

8  A  king  that  sitteth  in  the 
throne  of  judgment  scattereth 
away  all  evil  with  his  eyes. 

26  A  wise  king  scattereth  the 
wicked,  and  bringeth  the  wheel 
over  them. 

28  Mercy  and  truth  preserve  the 
king:  and  his  throne  is  upholden 
by  mercy. 

Pro.  21—1  The  king's  heart  is  in 
the  hand  of  the  Lord,  as  the 
rivers  of  water:  he  tumeth  it 
whithersoever  he  will. 

Pro.  24—21  My  son,  fear  thou  the 
Lord  and  the  king:  and  meddle 
not  with  them  that  are  given  to 
change. 

Pro.  25—2  It  is  the  glory  of  God 
to  conceal  a  thing :  b^^t  the  honour 
of  kings  is  to  search  out  a  matter. 

3  The  heaven  for  height,  and 
the  earth  for  depth,  and  the  heart 
of  kings  is  unsearchable. 

5  Take  away  the  wicked  from 
before  the  king,  and  his  throne 
shall  be  established  in  righteous- 
ness. 


6  Put  not  forth  thyself  in  the 
presence  of  the  kuig,  and  stand 
not  in  the  place  of  great  men: 

7  For  better  it  is  that  it  be  said 
unto  thee.  Come  up  hither;  than 
that  thou  shouldest  be  put  lower 
in  the  presence  of  the  prince 
whom  thine  eyes  have  seen. 

Pro.  29—4  The  king  by  judgment 
estaVjlisheth  the  land :  but  he  thq,t 
receiveth  gifts  overthroweth  it. 

14  The  king  that  faithfully 
judgeth  the  poor,  his  throne  shall 
be  established  for  ever. 

2  8a.  14—17  As  an  angel  of  God, 
so  is  my  lord  the  king  to  discern 
good  and  bad. 

Ec.  4—13  Better  is  a  poor  and  a 
wise  child,  than  an  old  and  fool- 
ish king,  who  will  no  more  be 
admonished. 

14  For  out  of  prison  he  cometh  to 
reign ;  whereas  also  he  that  is  born 
in  his  kingdom  becometh  poor. 

Ec.  5—9  IT  Moreover  the  profit  of 
the  earth  is  for  all:  the  kmg  him- 
self is  Served  by  the  field. 

Ec.  8—2  I  counsel  thee  to  keep 
the  king's  commandment,  and 
that  in  regard  of  the  oath  of  God. 

3  Be  not  hasty  to  go  oiit  of  his 
sight:  stand  not  in  an  evil  thing; 
for  he  doeth  whatsoever  pleaseth 
him.    p.  194. 

4  Wliere  the  word  of  a  king  is, 
there  is  power:  and  who  may  say 
imto  him.  What  doest  thou? 

Ec.  10—20  Curse  not  the  king,  no 
not  in  thy  thought ;  and  curse  not 
the  rich  in  thy  bedchamber:  for 
a  bird  of  the  air  shall  carry  the 
voice,  and  that  which  hath  wings 
shall  tell  the  matter. 

Is.  .33— 17  Thine  eyes  shall  see  the 
King  in  his  beauty :  they  shall  be- 
hold the  land  that  is  very  far  off. 

Is.  49—23  Kings  shall  be  thy  nurs- 
ing fathers,  and  their  queens  thy 
nursing  mothers,    p.  471. 

Je.  29—22  The  Lord  make  thee 
like  Zedekiah  and  like  Ahab,. 
whom  the  king  of  Babylon  roasted 
in  the  fire.    See  Am.  2.  l,  p.  22. 

Ho.  13—9  O  Israel,  thou  hast 
destroyed  thyself;  but  in  me  is 
thine  help. 

10  I  will  be  thy  king:  where  is 
any  other  that  may  save  thee? 
and  thou  saidst,  Give  me  a  king 
and  princes? 

11  1  gave  thee  a  king  in  mine 
anger,  and  look  him  away  in  my 
wrath.    Ho.  3,  4,p.  480.

1  Co.  4—8  Now  ye  are  full,  now 
ye  are  rich,  ye  have  reigued  as 
kings  without  us:  and  I  would 
to  God  ye  did  reign,  that  we  also 
might  reign  with  you. 

1  Pe.  2—13  Suhmit  youi'selves  to 
every  ordinance  of  man  for  the 
Lord's  sake:  whether  it  be  to  the 
king,  as  supreme ; 

14  Or  unto  governors,  as  unto 
them  that  are  sent  by  him  for 
the  punishment  of  evil  doers,  and 
for  the  praise  of  them  that  do  well. 

15  For  so  is  the  will  of  God, 
that  with  well  doing  ye  may  put 
to  silence  the  ignorance  of  fool- 
ish men.

ruler  over  the  poor  people.

lies,  all  his  servants  are  wicked. 

26  Many  seek  the  ruler's  favour ; 
but  every  man's  judgment  cometh 
from  the  Lord. 

Ec.  10—4  If  the  spirit  of  the  ruler 
rise  up  agamst  thee,  leave  not 
thy  place;  for  yielding  pacifieth 
great  offences. 

Is.  3—5  And  the  people  shall  be 
oppressed,  every  one  by  another, 
and  every  one  by  his  neighbour: 
the  chila  shall  behave  himself 
proudly  agamst  the  ancient,  and 
the  base  against  the  honourable. 

6  When  a  man  shall  take  hold 
of  his  brother  of  the  house  of  his 
father,  saying.  Thou  hast  cloth- 
ing, be  thou  our  ruler,  and  let 
this  rain  be  under  thy  hand: 

7  In  that  day  shall  he  swear, 
saying,  I  will  not  be  a  healer; 
for  in  my_house  is  neither  bread 
nor  clothing:  make  me  not  a 
ruler  of  the  people. 

Ro.  13—1  Let  every  soul  be  sub- 
ject unto  the  higher  powers.  For 
there  is  no  power  but  of  God :  the 
powers  that  be  are  ordained  of 
God. 

2  Whosoever  therefore  resisteth 
the  power,  resisteth  the  ordinance 
of  God :  and  they  that  resist  shall 
receive  to  themselves  damnation. 


3  For  rulers  are  not  a  terror  to 
good  works,  but  to  the  evil.  Wilt 
thou  then  not  be  afraid  of  the  pow- 
er? do  that  which  is  good,  and 
thou  shalt  have  praise  of  the  same : 

4  For  he  is  the  minister  of  God 
to  thee  for  good.  But  if  thou  do 
that  which  is  evil,  be  afraid ;  for 
he  beareth  not  the  sword  in  vain : 
for  he  is  the  minister  of  God,  a 
revenger  to  execute  wrath  upon 
him  that  doeth  evil. 

5  Wherefore  ye  must  needs  be 
subject,  not  only  for  wrath,  but 
also  for  conscience'  sake. 

6  For,  for  this  cause  pay  ye  trib- 
ute also:  for  they  are  God's  min- 
isters, attending  continually  upon 
this  very  thmg. 

7  Render  therefore  to  all  their 
dxies:  tribute  to  whom  tribute  is 
due;  custom  to  whom  custom; 
fear  to  whom  fear;  honoiu'  to 
whom  honour. 


Nu.  22—15  And  Balak  sent  yet 
again  princes,  more,  and  more 
honourable  than  they. 

Job  34—18  Is  it  fit  to  say  to  a 
king.  Thou  art  wicked?  and  to 
princes.  Ye  are  ungodly? 

19  How  much  less  to  him  that 
accepteth  not  the  persons  of 
prmces,  nor  regardetn  the  rich 
more  than  the  poor?  for  they  all 
are  the  work  of  liis  hands. 

Ps.  146—3  Put  not  your  trust  in 
princes,  nor  ui  the  son  of  man,  in 
whom  there  is  no  help. 

Pro.  17—7  Excellent  speech  be- 
cometh  not  a  fool:  much  less  do 
lying  lips  a  prince. 

Pro.  19—6  Many  will  entreat  the 
favour  of  the  prince;  and  every 
man  is  a  friend  to  him  that 
giveth  gifts. 

Pro.  25—15  By  long  forbearing  is 
a  prince  persuaded,  and  a  soft 
tongue  breaketh  the  bone. 

Pro.  28—16  The  prince  that  want- 
eth  understanding  is  also  a  great 
oppressor. 

Ec.  10—16  Woe  to  thee,  O  land, 
when  thy  king  is  a  child,  and  thy 
princes  eat  in  the  morning! 

17  Blessed  art  thou,  O  land, 
when  thy  king  is  the  son  of 
nobles,  and  thy  princes  eat  in  due 
season,  for  strength,  and  not  for 
drunkenness ! 

Is.  1—23  Thy  princes  are  rebel- 
lious, and  companions  of  thieves: 
every  one  loveth  gifts,  and  fol- 
loweth  after  rewards,    p.  34.

Is.  3 — 4  And  I  will  give  children 
to  be  their  princes,  and  babesshall 
rule  over  them.    p.  14G. 

Is.  21—5  Prepare  the  table,  watch 
in  the  watchtower,  eat,  drink: 
arise,  ye  princes,  and  anoint  the 
shield. 

Is.  '23—8  Tyre,  the  crowning  city, 
whose  merchants  are  princes, 
whose  tratidckers  are  the  honour- 
able of  the  earth? 

Eze.  30—13  Thus  saitli  the  Lord 
Goi>  •  I  will  also  destroy  the  idols, 
and  I  will  cause  their  images  to 
cease  out  of  Noph  (Memphis,  Ho. 
0. 6) ;  and  there  shall  be  no  more  a 
prince  of  the  laud  of  Egypt. 

Da.  3—3  Then  the  princes,  the 
governors,  and  captains,  the 
judges,  the  treasurers,  the  coun- 
sellors, the  sheriffs,  and  all  the 
rulers  of  the  provinces,  were  gath- 
ered together,    p.  390. 

Ho.  7—3  They  made  the  king 
glad  with  their  wickedness,  and 
the  princes  with  their  lies. 

5  In  the  day  of  our  king,  the 
princes  have  made  him  sick  with 
bottles  of  wine ;  he  stretched  out 
his  hand  with  scorners. 

Zep.  3—3  Her  princes  within  her 
are  roaring  lions;  her  judges  are 
evening  wolves;  they  gnaw  not 
the  bones  till  the  morrow. 

Tit.  3 — 1  Put  them  in  mind  to  be 
subject  to  principalities  and  pow- 
ers, to  obey  magistrates,  to  be 
ready  to  every  good  work. 


Is.  9.-6  And  his  name  shall  be 
called  Wonderful,  Counsellor,  The 
mighty  God,  The  everlasting  Fa- 
ther, The  Prince  of  Peace,    p.  468. 

Ac.  3—14  But  ye  denied  the  Holy 
One  and  the  Just, 

15  And  killed  the  Prince  of  life, 
whom  God  hath  raised  from  the 
dead.  

Mat.  20—25  But  Jesus  called 
them  unto  him,  and  said.  Ye 
know  that  the  princes  of  the  Gen- 
tiles exercise  dominion  over  them, 
p.  461. 

Juo.  14—30  Hereafter  I  will  not 
talk  much  with  you:  for  the 
prince  of  tliis  world  cometh,  and 
hath  nothing  in  me. 

Ep.2 — 2  Wherein  in  time  past  ye 
walked  according  to  the  course  of 
this  world,  according  to  the  prince 
of  the  power  of  the  air,  the  spirit 
that  now  worketh  in  the  children 
of  disobedience. 


KNOWLEDGE.  KEY,  KISS, 
KIND.  KNOCIv,  KICK,  KNEE. 
etc.    Kill,  See  Murder,  p.  212. 

Ps.  139—6  Such  knowledge  is  too 
wonderful  for  me;  it  is  high,  I 
cannot  attain  unto  it. 

Pro.  1—29  For  they  that  hated 
knowledge,  and  did  not  choose 
the  fear  of  the  Lord. 

Pro.  2— 3  Yea,  if  thou  criest  after 
knowledge,  and  liftest  up  thy 
voice  for  understanding; 

4  If  thou  seekest  her  as  silver, 
and  searchest  for  her  as  for  hid 
treasures; 

5  Then  shalt  thou  understand 
the  fear  of  the  Lord,  and  find 
the  knowledge  of  God. 

Pro.  14—6  A  scf)nier  seeketh  wis- 
dom, and  fiudeth  it  not:  but 
knowledge  is  easy  unto  him  that 
understaudeth. 

Pro.  15—14  The  heart  of  him  that 
hath  understanding  seeketh 
knowledge:  but  the  mouth  of 
fools  feedeth  on  foolishness. 

Pro.  17—27  He  that  hath  knowl- 
edge spareth  his  words :  and  a  man 
of  understanding  is  of  an  excel- 
lent spirit. 

Ec.  1—18  For  in  much  wisdom  is 
much  grief:  and  he  that  iucreas- 
eth  knowledge  increaseth  sorrow. 
pi.308. 

Da.  12—4  O  Daniel,  shut  up  the 
words,  and  seal  the  book,  even  to 
the  time  of  the  end:  many  shall 
rim  to  and  fro,  and  knowledge 
shall  be  increased,    p.  247. 

1  Co.  8—1  We  know  that  we  all 
have  knowledge.  Knowledge 
puffeth  up,  but  charity  edifieth. 

Lu.  11—52  Woe  unto  you,  law- 
yers! for  ye  have  taken  away  the 
key  of  knowledge:  ye  entered  not 
in  yourselves,  and  them  that  were 
entering  in  ye  hindered. 

Is.  22—22  And  the  key  of  the 
house  of  David  will  I  lay  upon  his 
shoulder;  so  he  shall  open,  and 
none  shall  shut ;  and  he  shall  shut, 
and  none  shall  open. 

Re.  3—7  He  that  hath  the  key  of 
David,  he  that  openeth,  and  no 
man  shutteth ;  and  shutteth,  and 
no  man  openeth.    p.  530.

angi-y,  and  ye  perish.

Pro.  24—26  Every  man  shall  kiss 
his  lips  that  giveth  a  right 
answer. 

SS.  1—2  Let  him  kiss  me  with 
the  kisses  of  his  mouth,    p.  171. 

Ro.  16 — 16  Salute  one  another

with  a  kiss  of  charity. 


Ro.  12—10  Be  kindly  affectioned 
one  to  another  with  brotherly 
love. 

Ep.  4—32  And  be  ye  kind  one  to 
another,  tenderhearted,  forgiving 
one  another. 

2  Pe.  1—7  And'  to  godliness, 
brotherly  kindness ;  and  to  broth- 
erly kindness,  charity. 

Job  19—14  My  kinsfolks  have 
failed,  and  my  familiar  friends 
have  forgotten  me.    p.  385. 

Ru.  3—13  If  he  will  perform 
unto  thee  the  part  of  a  kinsman, 
well;  let  him  do  the  kinsman's 
part:  but  if  he  will  not  do  the 
part  of  a  kinsman  to  thee,  then 
will  I  do  the  part  of  a  kinsman 
to  thee,  as  the  Lord  liveth. 

Mat.  7—7  Ask,  and  it  shall  be 
^iven  you;  seek,  and  ye  shall 
fand;  knock,  and  it  shall  be 
opened  unto  you ; 

8  For  every  one  that  asketh  re- 
ceiveth;  and  he  that  seeketh 
findeth ;  and  to  him  that  knock- 
eth  it  shall  he  opened. 

De.  32—15  But  Jeshurun  waxed 
fat,  and  kicked,    p.  99. 

I  Sa.  2—29  Wherefore  kick  ye  at 
my  sacrifice  and  at  mine  offering,

kick  against  the  pricks,    p.  526. 

Is.  45 — 23  1  have  sworn  by  my-

knee  shall  bow,  every  tongue 
shall  swear.

Ge.  12—1  Now  the  Lord  had  said 
unto  Abram,  Get  thee  out  of  thy 
coimtry,  and  from  thy  kindred, 
and  from  thy  father's  house,  unto 
a  land  that  I  will  shew  thee : 

2  And  I  will  make  of  thee  a 
great  nation,  and  I  will  bless 
thee,  and  make  thy  name  great; 

3  And  I  will  bless  them  that 
bless  thee,  and  curse  him  that 
ciu-seth  thee :  and  in  thee  shall  all 
families  of  the  earth  be  blessed. 

4  So  Abram  departed,  as  the 
Lord  had  spoken  unto  him :  and 
Lot  went  with  him:  and  Abram 
was  seventy  and  five  years  old 
when  he  departed  out  or  Haran. 

5  And  Abram  took  Sarai  his 
wife,  and  Lot  his  brother's  son, 
and  all  their  substance  that  they 
had  gathered,  and  the  souls  that 
they  had  gotten  in  Haran;  and 
they  went  forth  to  go  into  the 
land  of  Canaan;  and  into  the 
land  of  Canaan  they  came. 


149 


7  And  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
Abram,  and  said,  Lnto  thy  seed 
will  I  give  this  land:  and  there 
build  ed  he  an  altar  unto  the 
Lord,  who  appeared  unto  him. 

Ge.  13— U  And  the  Lord  said 
imto  Abram,  after  that  Lot  was 
se^)arated  from  him,  Lift  up  now 
thine  eyes,  and  look  from  the 
place  where  thou  art  northward, 
and  southward,  and  eastward,  and 
westward : 

15  For  all  the  land  which  thou 
seest,  to  thee  will  I  give  it,  and  to 
thy  seed  for  ever. 

IG  And  I  will  make  thy  seed  as 
the  dust  of  the  earth:  so  that  if  a 
man  can  number  the  dust  of  the 
earth,  then  shall  thy  seed  also  be 
numbered. 

17  Arise,  walk  through  the  land 
in  the  length  of  it  and  in  the 
breadth  of  it ;  for  I  will  give  it 
unto  thee. 

18  Then  Abram  removed  his 
tent,  and  came  and  dwelt  in  the 
plain  of  Mamre,  in  Hebron,  and 
built  there  an  altar  unto  the  Lord. 

Ge.  15—5  And  the  Lord  brought 
him  forth  abroad,  and  said,  Look 
now  toward  heaven,  and  tell  the 
stars,  if  thou  be  able  to  number 
them :  and  he  said  unto  him.  So 
shall  thy  seed  be. 

6  And  he  believed  in  the  Lord  ; 
and  he  counted  it  to  him  for 
righteousness. 

7  And  lie  said  unto  him,  I  am 
the  Lord  that  brought  thee  out 
of  Ur  of  the  Clialdees,  to  give 
thee  this  land  to  inherit  it. 

13  And  he  said  unto  Abram, 
Know  of  a  surety  that  thy  seed 
shall  be  a  stranger  in  a  land  that 
is  not  theirs,  and  shall  serve  them ; 
and  they  shall  afflict  them  four 
hundred  years, 

14  And  also  that  nation,  whom 
they  shall  serve,  will  I  judge :  and 
afterward  shall  they  come  out 
with  great  substance. 

18  In  that  same  day  the  Lord 
made  a  covenant  with  Abram, 
saying,  Unto  thy  seed  have  I 
given  this  land,  from  the  river 
of  Egypt  unto  the  great  river, 
the  river  Euphrates: 

19  The  Kenites,  and  the  Keniz- 
zites,  and  the  Kadmonites, 

20  And  the  Hittites,  and  the 
Perizzites,  and  the  Rephaim, 

21  And  the  Amorites,  and  the 
Canaanites,  and  the  Girgashites, 
and  the  Jebusites. 


Ge.  17—1  And  when  Abram  was 
ninety  years  old  and  nine,  the 
Lord  appeared  to  Abram,  and  said 
unto  him,  I  am  the  Almighty 
God ;  v?alk  before  me.  and  be  thou 
perfect. 

5  Neither  shall  thy  name  any 
more  be  called  Abram,  but  thy 
name  shall  be  Abraham;  for  a 
father  of  many  nations  have  I 
made  thee. 

6  And  I  will  make  thee  exceed- 
ing fruitful,  and  I  will  make  na- 
tions of  thee,  and  kings  shall 
come  out  of  thee. 

7  And  I  will  establish  my  cov- 
enant between  me  and  thee  and 
thy  seed  after  thee  in  their  gen- 
erations, for  an  everlasting  cove- 
nant, to  be  a  God  unto  thee  and 
to  thy  seed  after  thee. 

8  And  I  will  give  unto  thee.and 
to  thy  seed  after  thee,  the  land 
whereui  thou  art  a  stranger,  all 
the  land  of  Canaan,  for  an  ever- 
lasting possession;  and  1  will  be 
their  God.    Continued  on  p.  52. 

15  And  God  said  unto  Abraham, 
As  for  Sarai  thy  wife,  thou  shalt 
not  call  her  name  Sarai,  but  Sarah 
shall  her  name  be. 

16  And  I  will  bless  her,  and  give 
thee  a  son  also  of  her:  yea,  I  will 
bless  her,and;she  shall  be  a  mother 
of  nations;  kings  of  people  shall 
be  of  her.    p.  180. 

•Jacob  and  his  entire  family  go 
down  into  Egypt.  See  also  Ge.  47, 
p.  353. 

Ge.  46—1  And  Israel  took  his 
journey  with  all  that  he  had,  and 
came  to  Beer-sheba,  and  offered 
sacrifices  unto  the  God  of  his 
father  Isaac. 

2  And  God  spake  unto  Israel  in 
the  visions  of  the  night,  and  said, 
Jacob,  Jacob.  And  he  said.  Here 
am  I. 

3  And  he  said,  I  am  God,  the 
God  of  thy  father:  fear  not  to  go 
down  into  Egypt ;  for  I  will  there 
niake  of  thee  a  great  nation. 

4  I  will  go  down  with  thee  into 
Egypt;  and  I  will  also  surely 
bring  thee  up  again;  and  Joseph 
shall  put  his  hand  upon  thine 
eyes. 

5  And  Jacob  rose  up  from  Beer- 
sheba  :  and  the  sons  of  Israel  car- 
ried Jacob  their  father,  and  their 
little  ones,  and  their  wives,  in  the 
wagons  which  Pharaoh  had  sent 
to  carry  him.

6  And  they  took  their  cattle, 
and  their  goods,  which  they  had 
gotten  in  the  land  of  Canaan,  and 
came  into  Egypt,  Jacob,  and  all 
his  seed  with  him.    De.  26.  5. 

26  All  the  souls  that  came  with 
Jacob  into  Egypt,  which  came 
out  of  his  loins,  besides  Jacob's 
sons'  wives,  all  the  souls  were 
threescore  and  six ; 

27  And  the  sons  of  Joseph,  which 
were  borne  him  in  Egypt,  were 
two  souls:  all  the  souls  of  the 
house  of  Jacob,  which  came  into 
Egypt,  were  threescore  and  ten.

6  And  Joseph  died,  and  all  his 
brethren,  and  all  that  generation. 

7  And  the  children  of  Israel 
were  fruitful,  and  increased  abun- 
dantly, and  multiplied,  and 
waxed  exceeding  mighty;  and 
the  land  was  filled  with  them. 

8  Now  there  arose  up  a  new 
king  over  Egypt,  which  knew  not 
Joseph. 

9  And  he  said  unto  his  people, 
Behold,  the  people  of  the  children 
of  Israel  are  more  and  mightier 
than  we: 

10  Come  on,  let  us  deal  wisely 
with  them;  lest  they  multiply, 
and  it  come  to  pass,  that,  when 
there  falleth  out  any  war,  they 
join  also  unto  our  enemies,  and 
tight  against  us,  and  so  get  them 
up  out  of  the  land. 

11  Therefore  they  did  set  over 
them  taskmasters  to  afflict  them 
with  their  burdens.  And  they 
built  for  Pharaoh  treasure  cities, 
Pithom  and  Raanises. 

12  But  the  more  they  afflicted 
them,  the  more  they  multiplied 


and  grew.  And  they  were  grieved 
because  of  the  children  of  Israel. 

13  And  the  Egyptians  made  the 
children  of  Israel  to  serve  with 
rigour : 

14  And  they  made  their  lives 
bitter  with  hard  bondage,  in  mor- 
tar, and  in  brick,  and  in  all  man- 
ner of  service  in  the  field:  all 
their  service,  wherein  they  made 
them  serve,  was  with  rigour.  Ex. 
5,  p.  30. 

Moses  at  the  Burning  Bush.  He 
is  commanded  and  instructed  by 
the  Lord  to  deliver  the  children 
of  Israel  out  of  the  hands  of  the 
Egj'ptians. 

Ex.  3—1  Now  Moses  kept  the 
flock  of  Jethro  his  father  in  law, 
the  priest  of  Midian:  and  he  led 
the  flock  to  the  back  side  of  the 
desert,  and  came  to  the  mountain 
of  God,  even  to  Horeb. 

2  And  the  Angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him  in  a  flame  of 
fire  out  of  the  midst  of  a  bush: 
and  he  looked,  and,  behold,  the 
bush  burned  with  fire,  and  the 
bush  was  not  consumed. 

3  And  Moses  said,  I  will  now 
turn  aside,  and  see  this  great 
sight,  why  the  bush  is  not  burnt. 

4  And  when  the  Lord  saw  that 
he  turned  aside  to  see,  God  called 
unto  him  out  of  the  midst  of  the 
bush,  and  said,  Moses,  Moses. 
And  he  said.  Here  am  I. 

5  And  he  said.  Draw  not  nigh 
hither:  put  off  thy  shoes  from  off 
thy  feet;  for  the  place  whereon 
thou  standest  is  holy  ground. 

6  Moreover  he  said,  I  am  the 
God  of  thy  father,  the  God  of 
Abraham,  Isaac,  and  Jacob.  And 
Moses  hid  his  face:  for  he  was 
afraid  to  look  upon  God. 

7  And  the  Lord  said,  I  have 
surely  seen  the  affliction  of  my 
people  which  are  in  Egypt,  and 
have  heard  their  cry  by  reason  of 
their  taskmasters;  for  I  know 
their  sorrows.    Ex.  5,  p.  30. 

8  And  I  am  come  down  to  de- 
liver them  out  of  the  hand  of  the 
Egyptians,  and  to  bring  them  up 
out  of  that  land  unto  a  good  land 
and  a  large,  unto  a  land  flowing 
with  milk  and  honey,  unto  the 
place  of  the  Canaanites,  and  the 
Hittites,  and  the  Amorites,  and 
the  Perizzites,  and  the  Hivites, 
and  the  Jebusites.

9  Now  therefore,  behold,  the  cry 
of  the  children  of  Israel  is  come 
unto  me:  aud  I  have  also  seen  the 
oppression  wherewith  the  Egyp- 
tians oppress  them. 

10  Come  now  therefore,  and  I 
will  send  thee  unto  Pharaoh,  that 


thou  mayest  bring  forth  my  people 
the  children  of  Israel  out  of  Egyjp 
13  And  Moses  said  unto  God,  Be 


t. 


hold,  when  I  come  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  and  shall  say  unto 
them,  The  God  of  your  fathers 
hath  sent  me  unto  you :  and  they 
shall  say  to  me.  What  ishis  name? 
what  shall  I  say  unto  them? 

14  And  God  said  unto  Moses,  I 
AM  THAT  I  AM:  and  he  said, 
Thus  shalt  thou  sayuntothe  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  I  AM  hath  sent  me 
unto  you. 

18  Aud  they  shall  hearken  to  thy 
voice:  and  thou  shalt  come,  thou 
and  the  elders  of  Israel,  unto  the 
king  of  Egypt,  and  ye  shall  say 
unto  him.  The  Lord  God  of  the 
Hebrews  hath  met  with  us:  and 
now  let  us  go,  we  beseech  thee, 
three  days'  journey  into  the  wil- 
derness, that  we  may  sacrifice  to 
the  Lord  our  God. 

19  And  I  am  sure  that  the  king 
of  Egypt  will  not  let  you  go,  no, 
not  by  a  mighty  hand. 

20  And  I  will  stretch  out  my 
hand,  and  smite  Egypt  with  all 
my  wonders  which  I  will  do  in  the 
midst  thereof :  and  after  that  he 
will  let  you  go. 

21  And  I  will  give  this  people 
favour  in  the  sight  of  the  Egyp- 
tians: and  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that,  when  ye  go,  ye  shall  not  go 
empty : 

22  But  every  woman  shall  bor- 
row of  her  neighbour,  and  of  her 
that  sojoumeth  in  her  house,  jew- 
els of  silver,  and  iewels  of  gold, 
and  raiment:  and  ye  shall  put 
them  upon  your  sons,  and  upon 
your  daughters;  and  ye  shall  spoil 
the  Egyptians. 

Ex.  4—1  And  Moses  answered 
and  said,  But,  behold,  they  will 
not  believe  me,  nor  hearken  unto 
my  voice:  for  they  will  say,  The 
Lord  hath  not  appeared  unto  thee. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
What  is  that  in  thine  hand?  Aud 
he  said,  A  rod. 

3  And  he  said.  Cast  it  on  the 
ground.  And  he  cast  it,  on  the 
ground,  and  it  became  a  serpent; 
and  Moses  fled  from  before  it. 


4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Put  forth  thine  hand,  and  take  it 
by  the  tail.  And  he  put  fortii  his 
hand,  and  caught  it,  and  it  be- 
came a  rod  in  his  hand. 

6  And  the  Lord  said  further- 
more unto  him,  Put  now  thine 
hand  into  thy  bosom.  And  he 
put  his  hand  into  his  bosom  :  and 
when  he  took  it  out,  behold,  his 
hand  was  leprous  as  snow. 

7  And  he  said.  Put  thine  hand 
into  thy  bosom  again.  And  he  put 
his  hand  into  his  bosom  again ; 
and  plucked  it  out  of  his  bosom,  - 
and,  behold,  it  was  turned  again 
as  his  other  Hesh. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if 
they  will  not  believe  also  these 
two  signs,  neither  hearken  unto 
thy  voice,  that  thou  shalt  take  of 
the  water  of  the  river,  and  pour  it 
upon  the  dry  land :  and  the  water 
which  thou  takest  out  of  the  river 
shall  become  blood  upon  the  dry 
land. 

18  And  Moses  went^  and  re- 
turned to  Jethro  his  father  in  law, 
and  said  unto  him,  Let  me  go,  I 

Eray  thee,  and  return  unto  my 
rethren  which  are  in  Egypt,  and 
see  whether  they  be  yet  alive. 
And  Jethro  said  to  Moses,  Go  in 
peace. 

20  And  Moses  took  his  wife  and 
his  sons,  and  set  them  upon  an 
ass,  and  he  returned  to  the  land 
of  Egypt:  and  Moses  took  the 
rod  of  God  in  his  hand. 

21  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, When  thou  goest  to  return 
into  Egypt,  see  that  thou  do  all 
those  wonders  before  Pharaoh, 
which  I  have  put  in  thine  hand: 
but  I  will  harden  his  heart,  that 
he  shall  not  let  the  people  go. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass  oy  the 
way  in  the  inn,  that  the  Lord  met 
him,  and  sought  to  kill  him. 

25  Then  Zipporah  took  a  sharp 
stone,  and  cut  off  the  foreskin  of 
her  son,  and  cast  it  at  his  feet,  and 
said,  Surely  a  bloody  husband  art 
thou  to  me. 

26  So  he  let  him  go:  then  she 
said,  A  bloody  husband  thou  art, 
because  of  the  circumcision. 

27  And  the  Lord  said  to  Aaron, 
Go  into  the  wilderness  to  meet 
Moses.  And  he  went,  and  met  him 
in  the  mount  of  God,  and  kissed 
him. 

28  And  Moses  told  Aaron  all  the 
I  words  of  the  Lord. 


152 


Ex.  5—1  And  afterward  Moses 
and  Aaron  went  in,  and  told  Pha- 
raoh, Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Israel,  Let  my  people  go,  that  they 
may  hold  a  feast  unto  me  m  the 
wilderness.  ,     •    ^i, 

2  And  Pharaoh  said,  who  is  the 
Lord,  that  J  should  obey  his 
voice  to  let  Israel  go?  l,,know 
not  the  Lord,  neither  will  I  let 
Israel  go.  . ,  „,     ^    ■,    ixv 

3  And  they  said.  The  God  of  the 
Hebrews  hath  met  with  us:  letus 
go,  we  pray  thee,  three  days'  jour- 
ney into  the  desert,  and  sacrince 
unto  the  Lord  our  God ;  lest  he 
fall  upon  us  with  pestilence,  or 
with  the  sword.  . 

4  And  the  king  of  Egypt  said 
•unto  them.  Wherefore  do  ye,  Mo- 
ses and  Aaron,  let  the  people  from 
their  works?  get  you  imto  your 
burdens,    p.  29.  ,       ^    ^t. 

22  And  Moses  returned  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said,  Lord,  wherefore 
hast  thou  so  evil  entreated  this 
people?  why  is  it  that  thou  hast 
sent  me?  .  ^    m.        r 

23  For  since  I  came  to  Pharaoh 
to  speak  in  thy  name,  he  hath 
done  evil  to  this  people ;  neither 
hast  thou  delivered  thy  people  at 
all. 

Ex.  6—1  Then  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Now  shalt  thou  see  what 
I  will  do  to  Pharaoh:  for  with  a 
strong  hand  shall  he  let  them  go, 
and  with  a  strong  hand  shall  he 
drive  them  out  of  his  land. 

6  Wherefore  say  vmto  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  I  am  the  Lord,  and 
I  will  brmg  you  out  from  imder 
the  burdens  of  the  Egyptians,  and 
I  will  rid  vou  out  ot  their  bond- 
age, and  I  will  redeem  you  with  a 
stretched  out  arm,  Ewid  with  great 
judgments:  „ 

7  And  I  will  take  you  to  me  tor 
a  people,  and  I  will  be  to  you  a 
God :  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord  vour  God.  which  bring- 
eth  you  oiit  from  under  the  bur- 
dens of  the  Egyptians. 

8  And  I  will  bring  you  m  unto 
the  land,  concerning  the  which  I 
did  swear  to  give  it  to  Abraham, 
to  Isaac,  and  to  Jacob ;  and  I  will 
give  it  you  for  a  heritage:  I  am 
the  Lord.  ,  ^    ^, 

9  And  Moses  spake  so  unto  the 
children  of  Israel:  but  they  heark- 
ened not  unto  Moses  for  anguish 
of  spirit,  and  for  cruel  bondage. 


10  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Moses,  saying, 

11  Go  in,  speak  unto  Pharaoh 
king  of  Egypt,  that  he  let  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  go  out  of  his  land. 

12  And  Moses  spake  before  the 
Lord,  saying.  Behold,  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  have  not  hearkened 
unto  me ;  how  then  shall  Pharaoh 
hear  me.  who  am  of  imcircum- 
cised  lips? 


Aaron's    Rod.    The    Plagues    of 
Egypt,  etc. 

Ex.  7—1  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  See,  I  have  made  thee  a 
god  to  Pharaoh ;  and  Aaron  thy 
brother  shall  be  thy  prophet. 

2  Thou  Shalt  speak  all  that  I 
command  thee;  and  Aaron  thy 
brother  shall  speak  unto  Pharaoh, 
that  he  send  the  children  of  Israel 
out  of  his  land.        ,       „,  ,, 

3  And  I  will  harden  Pharaoh's 
heart,  and  multiply  my  signs  and 
my  wonders  in  the  land  of  Egypt. 

4  But  Pharaoh  shall  not  hearken 
unto  vou.  that  I  may  lav  my  ha,nd 
upon  Egypt,  and  bring  forth  mine 
armies,  and  my  people  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt  bv  great  judgments.    . 

6  And  Moses  and  Aaron  did  as 
the  Lord  commanded  them,  so 
did  they. 

7  And  Moses  was  fourscore  years 
old,aud  Aaron  fom-score  and  three 
vears  old,  when  they  spake  unto 
Pharaoh. 

10  And  Moses  and  Aaron  went  m 
imto  Pharaoh,  and  they  did  so  as 
the  Lord  had  commanded:  and 
Aaron  cast  down  his  rod  before 
Pharaoh,  and  before  his  servants, 
and  it  became  a  serpent. 

11  Then  Pharaoh  also  called  the 
wise  men  and  the  sorcerers:  now 
the  magicians  of  Egypt,  they  also 
did  in  like  manner  with  their  en- 
chantments. 

12  For  they  cast  down  every  man 
his  rod.and  they  became  serpents: 
but  Aaron's  rod  swallowed  up 
then-  rods. 

13  And  he  hardened  Pharaoh  s 
heart,  that  he  hearkened  not  unto 
them ;  as  the  Lord  had  said. 

19  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Moses,  Say  unto  Aaron,  Take  thy 
rod,  and  stretch  out  thine  hand 
upon  the  waters  of  Egypt,  upon 
their  streams,  upon  their  rivers, 
and  upon  their  ponds,  and  upon 
all  their  pools  of  water,  that  they 


153 


may  hecome  blood ;  and  that  there 
may  be  blood  throughout  all  the 
land  of  Egypt,  both  hi  vessels  of 
wood,  and  in  vessels  of  stone. 

20  And  Moses  and  Aaron  did  so, 
as  the  Lord  commanded  ;  and  he 
lifted  up  the  rod,  and  smote  the 
waters  that  were  in  the  river,  in 
the  sight  of  Pharaoh,  and  in  the 
sight  of  his  servants;  and  all  the 
waters  that  were  in  the  river 
were  turned  to  blood. 

21  And  the  lish  that  was  in  th& 
river  died ;  and  the  river  stank, 
and  the  Egyptians  c(juld  not  drink 
of  the  water  of  the  river;  and 
there  was  blood  throughout  all 
the  land  of  Egypt. 

22  And  the  magicians  of  Egypt 
did  so  with  their  enchantments: 
and  Pharaoh's  heart  was  hard- 
ened, neither  did  he  hearken  un- 
to them ;  as  the  Lord  had  said. 

Ex.  8—5  And  the  Lord  spake  un- 
to Moses,  Say  imto  Aaron,  Stretch 
forth  thine  hand  with  thy  rod  over 
the  streams,  over  the  rivers,  and 
over  the  ponds,  and  cause  frogs  to 
come  up  iipon  the  land  of  Egypt. 

6  And  Aaron  stretched  out  his 
hand  over  the  waters  of  Egypt; 
a,nd  the  frogs  came  up,  and  cov- 
ered the  land  of  Egypt. 

7  And  the  magicians  did  so  with 
their  enchantments,  and  brought 
up  frogs  upon  the  land  of  Egypt. 

8  Then  Pharaoh  called  for  Mo- 
ses and  Aaron,  and  said,  Entreat 
the  Lord,  that  he  may  take  away 
the  frogs  from  me,  and  from  my 
people;  and  I  will  let  the  people 
go,  that  they  may  do  isacrihce 
imto  the  Lord. 

9  And  Moses  said  lanto  Pharaoh, 
Glory  over  me:  when  shall  I  en- 
treat for  thee,  and  for  thy  ser- 
vants, and  for  thy  people,  to  de- 
stroy the  frogs  from  thee  and  thy 
houses,  that  they  may  remain  in 
the  river  only? 

10  And  he  said.  To  morrow. 
And  he  said,  Be  it  according  to 
thy  word  ;  that  thovi  mayest  know 
that  there  is  none  like  unto  the 
Lord  om  God. 

12  And  Moses  and  Aaron  went 
out  from  Pharaoh:  and  Moses 
cried  unto  the  Lord  because  of 
the  frogs  which  he  had  brought 
against  Pharaoh. 

13  And  the  Lord  did  according 
to  the  word  of  Moses;  and  the 
frogs  died  out  of  the  houses,  out  of 
the  villages,  and  out  of  the  fields. 


14  And  they  gathered  them  to- 
gether upon  heaps ;  and  the  land 
stank. 

1.5  But  when  Pharaoh  saw  tliat 
there  was  respite,  he  hardened 
his  lieart,  and  hearkened  not 
unto  them  •  as  the  Lord  had  said. 

16  H  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Say  tmto  Aaron,  Stretch 
out  thy  rod,  and  smite  the  dust 
of  the  land,  that  it  may  become 
lice. 

17  And  they  did  so;  for  Aaron 
stretched  out  'his  hand  with  his 
rod,  and  smote  the  dust  of  the 
earth,  and  it  became  lice  in  man, 
and  in  beast ;  all  the  dust  of  the 
land  became  lice  tliroughout  all 
the  land  of  Egypt. 

18  And  the  magicians  did  so 
with  their  enchantments  to  bring 
forth  lice,  but  they  could  not :  so 
there  were  lice  upon  man,  and. 
upon  beast.    2  Ti.  3.  8,  p.  323. 

19  Then  the  magicians  said  unto 
Pharaoh,  This  is  the  finger  of 
God:  and  Pharaoh's  heart  was 
hardened,  and  he  hearkened  not 
unto  them ;  as  the  Lord  had  said. 

20  H  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, Rise  up  early  in  the  morn- 
ing, and  stand  before  Pharaoh; 
lo,  he  cometh  forth  to  the  water ; 
and  say  unto  him,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Let  my  people  go,  that  they 
may  serve  me. 

21  Else,  if  thou  wilt  not  let  my 
people  go,  behold,  I  will  send 
swarms  of  flies  upon  thee,  and  up- 
on thy  servants,  and  upon  thy  peo- 
ple, and  into  thy  houses:  and  the 
houses  of  the  Egyptians  shall  be 
full  of  swarms  of  flies,  and  also 
the  groirnd  whereon  they  are. 

22  And  I  will  sever  in  that  day 
the  land  of  Goshen,  in  which  my 
people  dwell,  that  no  swarms  of 
flies  shall  be  there;  to  the  end 
thou  mayest  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord  in  the  midst  of  the  earth. 

23  And  I  will  put  a  division  be- 
tween my  people  and  thy  people: 
to  morrow  shall  this  sign  be. 

24  And  the  Lord  did  so;  and 
there  came  a  grievous  swarm  of 
flies  into  the  house  of  Pharaoh, 
and  into  his  servants'  houses,  and 
into  all  the  land  of  Egypt:  the 
land  was  cornipted  by  reason  of 
the  swarm  of  flies. 

25  And  Pharaoh  called  for 
Moses  .and  for  Aaron,  and  said.  Go 
ye,  sacrifice  to  your  God  in  the 
land. 


154 


26  And  IMoses  said.  It  is  not  meet 
so  to  do ;  for  we  shall  sacrifice  the 
abomination  of  the  Egyptians  to 
the  Lord  our  God:  lo.  shall  we 
sacrifice  the  abomination  of  the 
Egyptians  before  their  eyes,  and 
will  they  not  stone  us?  . 

27  We  will  go  three  days'  jour- 
ney into  the  wilderness,  and  sac- 
rifice to  the  Lord  our  God,  as  he 
shall  command  us.  .„  ,  ^ 

28  And  Pharaoh  said,  I  will  let 
you  go,  that  ye  may  sacrifice  to 
the  Lord  your  God  m  the  wilder- 
ness; only  ye  shall  not  go  very  far 
away:  entreat  for  me.     ,    ,,  , 

29  And  Moses  said,  Behold,  I  go 
out  from  thee,  and  I  will  entreat 
the  Lord  that  the  swarms  of  flies 
may  depart  from  Pharaoh,  from 
his  servants,  and  from  his  people, 
to  morrow:  out  let  not  Pharaoh 
deal  deceitfully  any  more  in  not 
letting  the  people  go  to  sacrihce 
to  the  Lord. 

30  And  Moses  went  out  from 
Pharaoh,  and  entreated  the  Lord. 

31  And  the  Lord  did  according 
to  the  word  of  Moses :  and  he  re- 
moved the  swarms  of  files  from 
Pharaoh,  from  his  servants,  and 
from  his  people;  there  remained 
not  one.     _,  ,    ,      ■,        ■,  ,■ 

32  And  Pharaoh  hardened  his 
heart  at  this  time  also,  neither 
would  he  let  the  people  go. 

Ex.  9—1  Then  the  Lord  said 
unto  Moses,  Go  in  unto  Pharaoh 
and  tell  him,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  the  Hebrews,  Let  my  peo- 
ple go,  that  they  may  serve  me. 

2  For  if  thou  refuse  to  let  them 
go,  and  wilt  hold  them  still, 

3  Behold,  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
is  upon  thy  cattle  which  is  in  the 
field,  upon  the  horses,  upon  the 
asses,  upon  the  camels,  upon  the 
oxen,  and  upon  the  sheep:  there 
shall  be  a  very  gi-ievous  niurram. 

4  And  the  Lord  shall  sever  be- 
tween the  cattle  of  Israel  and  the 
cattle  of  Egypt:  and  there  shall 
nothing  die  of  all  that  is  the  chil- 
dren's of  Israel.  . 

5  And  the  Lord  appomted  a  set 
time,  saying,  To  morrow  the  Lord 
shall  do  this  thing  in  the  land. . 

6  And  the  Lord  did  that  thing 
on  the  morrow,  and  all  the  cattle 
of  Egypt  died :  but  of  the  cattle  of 
the  children  of  Israel  died  not  one. 

7  And  Pharaoh  sent,  and,  behold, 
there  was  not  one  of  the  cattle  of 
the  Israelites  dead.  And  the  heart 


of  Pharaoh  was  hardened,  and  he 
did  not  let  the  people  go.  . 

8  IF  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses  and  unto  Aaron,  Take  to 
you  handfuls  of  ashes  of  the  fur- 
nace, and  let  Moses  sprinkle  it 
toward  the  heaven  in  the  sight  of 
Pharaoh.  „  ,     ^ 

9  And  it  shall  become  small  dust 
in  all  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  shall 
be  a  boil  breaking  forth  with 
blains  upon  man,  and  upon  beast, 
throughout  all  the  land  of  Egypt. 

10  And  they  took  ashes  of  the 
furnace,  and  stood  before  Pha- 
raoh; and  Moses  sprinkled  it  up 
toward  heaven  •  and  it  became  a 
boil  breaking  forth  with  blams 
upon  man,  and  upon  beast. 

11  And  the  magicians  could  not 
stand  before  Moses  because  of  the 
boils;  for  the  t)oil  was  upon  the 
magicians,  and  upon  all  the  Egyp- 
tians. ,      ,        ,  ,, 

12  And  the  Lord  hardened  the 
heart  of  Pharaoh,  and  he  heark- 
ened not  unto  them ;  as  the  Lord 
had  spoken  unto  Moses.     . 

13  H  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Rise  up  early  in  the  mom- 
ing.and  stand  before  Pharaoh. and 
say  unto  him.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  the  Hebrews,  Let  my  peo- 
ple go,  that  they  may  serve  me. 

14  For  I  will  at  this  time  send  all 
my  plagues  upon  thme  heart,  and 
upon  thy  servants,  and  upon  thy 
people ;  that  thou  mayest  know 
that  there  is  none  like  me  m  all 

the  earth.  .,,     .    ^  t.       * 

15  For  now  1  will  stretch  out 
my  hand,  that  I  may  smite  thee 
and  thv  people  with  pestilence; 
and  thou  shall  be  cut  off  from 
the  earth.  ,      ,   r      xi  • 

16  And  m  very  deed  for  this 
cause  have  I  raised  thee  up,  for 
to  shew  in  thee  my  power;  and 
that  my  name  may  be  declared 
throughout  all  the  earth. 

17  As  yet  exaltest  thou  thyself 
against  my  people,  that  thou  wilt 
not  let  them  go?  ,      ^  ^,  . 

18  Behold,  to  morrow  about  this 
time  I  will  cause  it  to  rain  a  very 
grievous  hail,  such  as  hath  not 
been  in  Egypt  since  the  founda- 
tion thereof  even  until  now. 

19  Send  therefore  now,  and 
gather  thv  cattle,  and  ail  that 
thou  hast  in  the  field ;  for  upon 
every  man  and  beast  which  shall 
be  found  in  the  field,  and  shall 
not  be   brought  home,  the  nail 


155 


shall  come  dowu  upon  them,  and 
they  shall  die. 

20  He  that  feared  the  word  of 
the  Lord  aiuoug  the  servants  of 
Pharaoh  made  his  servants  and 
his  cattle  tiee  into  the  houses: 

21  And  he  that  regarded  not 
the  word  of  the  Lord  left  his 
servants  and  his  cattle  in  the 
field. 

22  IT  And  the  Lord  said  iinto 
Moses,  Stretch  forth  thine  hand 
toward  heaven,  that  there  may 
be  hail  in  all  the  land  of  Egypt, 
upon  man,  and  upon  beast,  and 
upon  every  herb  of  the  field, 
throughout  the  land  of  Egypt. 

23  And  Moses  stretched  forth 
his  rod  toward  heaven:  and  the 
Lord  sent  thunder  and  hail,  and 
the  fire  ran  along  upon  the 
ground ;  and  the  Lord  rained 
hail  upon  the  land  of  Egypt. 

24  So  there  was  hail,  and  fire 
mingled  with  the  hail,  very  griev- 
ous, such  as  there  was  none  like 
it  in  all  the  land  of  Egypt  since  it 
became  a  nation. 

2.5  And  the  hail  smote  through- 
out all  the  land  of  Egypt  all  that 
was  in  the  field,  both  man  and 
beast;  and  the  hail  smote  every 
herb  of  the  field,  and  brake  every 
tree  of  the  field. 

26  Only  in  the  land  of  Goshen, 
where  the  children  of  Israel  were, 
was  there  no  hail. 

27  H  And  Pharaoh  sent,  and 
called  for  Moses  and  Aaron,  and 
said  unto  them,  I  have  sinned  this 
time :  the  Lord  is  righteous,  and 
I  and  my  people  are  wicked. 

28  Entreat  the  Lord  (for  it  is 
enough)  that  there  be  no  more 
mighty  thunderings  and  hail ; 
and  I  will  let  you  go,  and  ye  shall 
stay  no  longer. 

29  And  Moses  said  vmto  him.  As 
soon  as  I  am  gone  out  of  the  city, 
I  will  spread  abroad  my  hands 
unto  the  Lord  ;  and  the  thunder 
shall  cease,  neither  shall  there  be 
any  more  hail ;  that  thou  mayest 
know  how  that  the  earth  is  the 
Lord's. 

30  But  as  for  thee  and  thy  serv- 
ants, I  know  that  ye  will  not  yet 
fear  the  Lord  God. 

31  And  the  flax  and  the  barley 
was  smitten:  for  the  barley  was 
in  the  ear,  and  the  flax  was  boiled. 

32  But  the  wheat  and  the  rye 
were  not  smitten:  for  they  were 
not  grown  up. 


.33  And  Moses  went  out  of  the 
city  from  Pharaoh,  and  spread 
abroad  his  hands  luito  the  Lord: 
and  the  thunders  and  hail  ceased, 
and  the  rain  was  not  poured  upon 
the  earth. 

34  And  when  Pharaoh  saw  that 
the  rain  and  the  hail  and  the 
thunders)  were  ceased,  he  sinned 
yet  more,  and  hardened  his  heart, 
he  and  his  servants. 

35  And  the  heart  of  Pharaoh 
was  hardened,  neither  would  he 
let  the  children  of  Israel  go;  as 
the  Lord  had  spoken  by  Moses. 

Ex.  10 — 1  And  the  Lord  said  un- 
to Moses,  Go  in  unto  Pharaoh :  for 
I  have  hardened  his  heart,  and  the 
heart  of  his  servants,  that  J  might 
shew  these  my  signs  before  him: 

2  And  that  thou  mayest  tell  in 
the  ears  of  thy  son,  and  of  thy 
son's  son,  what  things  I  have 
wrought  in  Egypt,  and  my  signs 
which  I  have  done  among  them ; 
that  ye  may  know  how  that  I  am 
the  Lord. 

3  And  Moses  and  Aaron  came  in 
unto  Pharaoh,  and  said  unto  him. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  the 
Hebrews,  How  long  wilt  thou  re- 
fuse to  hum  hie  thyself  before  me? 
let  my  people  go,  that  they  may 
serve  me. 

4  Else,  if  thou  refuse  to  let 
my  people  go,  behold,  to  morrow 
will  I  bring  the  locusts  into  thy 
coast : 

5  And  they  shall  cover  the  face 
of  the  earth,  that  one  cannot  be 
able  to  see  the  earth:  and  they 
shall  eat  the  residue  of  that  which 
is  escaped,  which  remaineth  unto 
you  from  the  hail,  and  shall  eat 
every  tree  which  groweth  for  you 
out  of  the  field: 

6  And  they  shall  fill  thy  houses, 
and  the  houses  of  all  thy  serv- 
ants, and  the  houses  of  all  the 
Egyptians;  which  neither  thy 
fathers,  nor  thy  fathers'  fathers 
have  seen,  suice  the  day  that  they' 
vi^ere  uptm  the  earth  unto  this 
day.  And  he  turned  himself,  and 
went  out  from  Pharaoh. 

7  And  Pharaoh's  servants  said 
unto  him.  How  long  shall  this 
man  be  a  snare  unto  us?  let  the 
men  go,  that  they  may  serve  the 
Lord  their  God:  knowest  thou 
not  yet  that  Egypt  is  destroyed? 

8  And  Moses  and  Aaron  were 
brought  again  unto  Pharaoh :  and 
he  said  unto  them,  Go,  serve  the 


156 


Lord  yom-  God :  but  who  are  they 
that  shall  go? 

9  And  Moses  said,  We  will  go 
with  our  young  and  with  our  old, 
with  our  sons  and  with  our  daugh- 
ters, with  our  flocks  and  with  our 
herds  will  we  go;  for  we  must 
hold  a  feast  unto  the  Lord. 

10  And  he  said  unto  them.  Let 
the  Lord  be  so  with  you,  as  I  will 
let  you  go,  and  your  little  ones: 
look  to  it ;  for  evil  is  before  you. 

11  Not  so :  go  now  ye  that  are 
men,  and  serve  the  Lord  ;  for 
that  ye  did  deshe.  And  they 
were  driven  out  from  Pharaoh's 
presence. 

12  H  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Stretch  out  thine  hand 
over  the  land  of  Egypt  for  the 
locusts,  that  they  may  come  up 
upon  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  eat 
every  herb  of  the  land,  even  all 
that  the  hail  hath  left. 

13  And  Moses  stretched  forth 
his  rod  over  the  land  of  Egypt, 
and  the  Lord  brought  an  east 
wind  upon  the  land  all  that  day, 
and  all  that  night;  and  when 
it  was  morning,  the  east  wind 
brought  the  locusts. 

14  And  the  locusts  went  up  over 
all  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  rested 
in  all  the  coasts  of  Egypt:  very 
grievous  were  they ;  before  them 
there  were  no  such  locusts  as  they, 
neither  after  them  shall  be  such. 

15  For  they  covered  the  face  of 
the  whole  earth,  so  that  the  land 
was  darkened ;  and  they  did  eat 
every  herb  of  the  land,  and  all 
the  fruit  of  the  trees  which  the 
hail  had  left:  and  there  remained 
not  any  green  thing  iu  the  trees, 
orin  theherbsof  thefield,through 
all  the  land  of  Egypt. 

16  IT  Then  Pharaoh  called  for 
Moses  and  Aaron  in  haste;  and 
he  said,  I  have  sinned  against  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  against  you. 

17  Now  therefore  forgive,  I  pray 
thee,  my  sin  only  this  once,  and 
entreat  the  Lord  your  God,  that 
he  may  take  away  from  me  this 
death  only. 

18  And  he  went  out  from  Pha- 
raoh, and  entreated  the  Lord. 

19  And  the  Lord  turned  a  mighty 
strong  westwind,  which  took  away 
the  locusts,  and  cast  them  into  the 
Red  sea ;  there  remained  not  one 
locust  in  all  the  coasts  of  Egypt. 

20  But  the  Lord  hardened  Pha- 
raoh's heart,  so  that  he  would 


not  let  the  children  of  Israel  go. 

21  IT  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Stretch  out  thine  hand  to- 
ward heaven,  that  there  may  be 
darkness  over  the  land  of  Egypt, 
even  darkness  which  may  be  felt. 

22  And  Moses  stretched  forth  his 
hand  toward  heaven;  and  there 
was  a  thick  darkness  in  all  the 
land  of  Egvpt  three  days: 

23  They  saw  not  one  another, 
neither  rose  any  fi'om  his  place 
for  three  davs:  but  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  had  light  in  their 
dwellings. 

24  H  And  Pharaoh  called  unto 
Jloses,  and  said.  Go  ye,  serve  tbe 
Lord;  only  let  your  flocks  and 
your  herds  be  stayed:  let  your 
little  ones  also  go  with  you. 

25  And  Moses  said.  Thou  must 
give  us  also  sacrifices  and  burnt 
offerings,  that  we  may  sacrifice 
unto  the  Lord  our  God. 

26  Our  cattle  also  shall  go  with 
us;  there  shall  not  a  hoof  be  left 
behuid ;  for  thereof  must  we  take 
to  serve  the  Lord  our  God ;  and 
we  know  not  with  what  we  must 
serve  the  Lord,  until  we  come 
thither.  ,  ,      -,        , 

27  11  But  the  Lord  hardened 
Pharaoh's  heart,  and  he  would 
not  let  them  go. 

28  And  Pharaoh  said  unto  him. 
Get  thee  from  me,  take  heed  to 
thyself,  see  my  face  no  more;  for 
in  that  day  thou  seest  my  face 
thou  Shalt  die. 

29  And  Moses  said.  Thou  hast 
spoken  well,  I  will  see  thy  face 
again  no  more. 

Ex.  11—1  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Yet  will  I  bring  one  plague 
more  upon  Pharaoh,  and  upon 
Egypt ;  afterwards  he  will  let  you 
go  hence:  when  he  shall  let  you 
go,  he  shall  surely  thrust  you  out 
hence  altogether. 

2  Speak  now  in  the  ears  of  the 
people,  and  let  every  man  bon-ow 
of  his  neighbour,  and  every  wo- 
man of  her  neighbour,  jewels  of 
silver,  and  jewels  of  gold. 

3  And  the  Lord  gave  the  peo- 
ple favom-  in  the  sight  of  the 
lEgyptians.  Moreover,  the  man 
Moses  was  very  great  in  the  land 
of  Egypt,  in  the  sight  of  Pha- 
raoh's servants,  and  in  the  sight 
of  tne  people.  . 

4  And  Moses  said.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  About  midnight  will 
I  go  out  into  the  midst  of  Egypt: 


157 


5  And  all  the  firstborn  in  the 
land  oi  Egypt  shall  die,  from  the 
firstborn  of  Pharaoh  that  sitteth 
upon  his  throne,  even  unto  the 
firstborn  of  the  maidservant  that 
is  behind  the  mill;  and  all  the 
firstborn  of  beasts. 

6  And  there  shall  be  a  great  cry 
throughout  all  the  land  of  Egypt, 
such  as  thei'e  was  none  like  it, 
nor  shall  be  like  it  any  more. 

7  But  against  any  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  shall  not  a  dog 
move  his  tongue,  against  man  or 
beast :  that  ye  may  know  how  that 
the  Lord  doth  put  a  difference  be- 
tween the  Egyptians  and  Israel. 

8  And  all  these  thy  servants  shall 
come  down  unto  me,  and  bow 
down  themselves  unto  me,  saying, 
Get  thee  out.  and  all  the  people 
that  follow  thee :  and  after  that  I 
will  go  out.  And  he  went  out 
irom  Pharaoh  in  a  great  anger. 

9  And  the  I^ord  said  unto  Moses, 
Pharaoh  shall  not  hearken  unto 
you;  that  my  wonders  may  be 
multiplied  in  the  land  of  Egypt. 

10  And  Moses  and  Aaron  did  all 
these  wonders  before  Pharaoh: 
and  the  Lord  hardened  Pharaoh's 
heart,  so  that  he  would  not  let  the 
children  of  Israel  go  out  of  his 
land. 

The  Passover  instituted.  The 
Firstborn  of  Egypt  slain. 

Ex.  12—1  And  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Moses  and  Aaron  in  the  land 
of  Egjpt,  saying, 

2  This  month  shall  be  unto  you 
the  begmning  of  months:  it  shall 
be  the  fii'st  month  of  the  year  to 
you. 

3  IT  Speak  ye  unto  all  the  congre- 
gation of  Israel,  saying.  In  the 
tenth  day  of  this  mouth  they  shall 
take  to  them  every  man  a  lamb, 
according  to  the  house  of  their 
fathers,  a  lamb  for  a  house : 

4  And  if  the  household  be  too 
little  forthe  lamb,  let  him  and  his 
neighbour  next  unto  his  house 

.y  take  it  according  to  the  number 
of  the  souls ;  every  man  according 
to  his  eating  shall  make  your 
count  for  the  lamb. 

5  Your  lamb  shall  be  without 
blemish,  a  male  of  the  first  year: 
ye  shall  take  it  out  fi'om  the 
sheep,  or  from  the  goats: 

6  And  ye  shall  keep  it  up  until 
the  fourteenth  day  of  the  same 
month:  and  the  whole  assembly 


of  the  congregation  of  Israel  shall 
kill  it  in  the  evening. 

7  And  they  shall  take  of  the 
blood,  and  strike  it  on  the  two 
side  posts  and  on  the  upper  door 
post  of  the  houses,  wherein  they 
shall  eat  it. 

8  And  they  shall  eat  the  flesh  in 
that  night,  roast  with  fire,  and  un- 
leavened bread;  and  with  bitter 
herbs  they  shall  eat  it. 

9  Eat  not  of  it  raw,  nor  sodden 
at  all  with  water,  but  roast  with 
tire;  his  head  with  his  legs,  and 
with  the  purteuance  thereof. 

10  And  ye  shall  let  nothing  of  it 
remain  until  the  morning;  and 
that  which  remaineth  of  it  until 
the  moruLug  ye  shall  bui-n  with 
lire. 

11  IT  And  thus  shall  ye  eat  it; 
with  your  loins  girded,  your  shoes 
on  your  feet,  and  your  staff  in 
your  hand ;  and  ye  shall  eat  it  in 
haste:  it  is  the  Lord's  passover. 

12  For  I  will  pass  through  the 
land  of  Egypt  this  night,  and  will 
smite  all  the  firstborn  in  the  land, 
both  man  and  beast;  and  against 
all  the  gods  of  Egypt  I  will  exe- 
cute judgment:  I  am  the  Lord. 

13  And  the  blood  shall  be  to  you 
for  a  token  upon  the  houses  where 
ye  are:  and  when  I  see  the  blood, 
I  will  pass  over  you,  and  the 
plague  shall  not  be  upon  you  to 
destroy  you,  when  I  smite  the 
land  of  Egypt. 

14  And  this  day  shall  be  unto  you 
for  a  memorial ;  and  ye  shall  keep 
it  a  feast  to  the  Lord  throughout 
your  generations:  ye  shall  keep  it 
a  feast  by  an  ordinance  for  ever. 

15  Seven  days  shall  ye  eat  \m- 
leavened  bread ;  even  the  first  day 
ye  shall  put  away  leaven  out  of 
your  houses:  for  whosoever  eat- 
eth  leavened  bread  from  the  first 
day  until  the  seventh  day,  that 
soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  Israel. 

10  And  in  the  first  day  there  shall 
be  a  holy  convocation,  and  in  the 
seventh  day  there  shall  be  a  holy 
convocation  to  you ;  no  manner  of 
work  shall  be  done  in  them,  save 
that  which  every  man  mu.st  eat, 
that  only  may  be  done  of  you. 

17  And  ye  shall  observe  the  feast 
of  unleavened  bread ;  for  in  this 
selfsame  day  have  I  brought  your 
annies  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt: 
therefore  shall  ye  observe  this 
day  in  your  generations  by  an 
ordinance  for  ever. 


158 


18  In  the  first  month,  on  the  I 
fourteenth  day  of  the  mouth  at 
even,   ye    shall   eat  unleavened 
bread,  until  the  one  and  twenti- 
eth day  of  the  month  at  even. 

19  Seven  days  shall  there  be  no 
leaven  found  in  your  houses:  for 
whosoever  eateth  that  which  is 
leavened,  even  that  soul  shall  be 
cut  off  from  the  congregation  of 
Israel,  whether  he  be  a  stranger, 
or  born  in  the  land. 

20  Ye  shall  eat  nothing  leavened ; 
in  all  your  habitations  shall  ye  eat 
unleavened  bread. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  at 
midnight  the  Lord  smote  all  the 
firstborn  in  the  land  of  Egypt, 
from  the  firstborn  of  Pharaoh  that 
sat  on  his  throne  unto  the  firstborn 
of  the  captive  that  was  in  the 
dungeon ;  and  all  the  firstborn  of 

30  And  Pharaoh  rose  up  in  the 
night,  he.  and  all  his  servants,  and 
all  the  Egyptians;  and  there  was 
a  great  cry  in  Egypt:  for  there 
was  not  a  house  where  there  was 
not  one  dead. 

31  And  he  called  for  Moses  and 
Aaron  by  night,  and  said.  Rise  up, 
and  get  you  forth  from  among  my 
people,  both  ye  and  the  children 
of  Israel ;  and  go,  serve  the  Lord, 
as  ye  have  said. 

32  Also  take  your  flocks  and 
your  herds,  as  ye  have  said,  and 
be  gone :  and  bless  me  also. 

33  And  the  Egyptians  were  ur- 
gent upon  the  people,  that  they 
might  send  them  out  of  the  land 
in  haste ;  for  they  said,  We  be  all 
dead  men.  ,  ,     ,    . 

31  And  the  people  took  their 
dough  before  it  was  leavened, 
their  kneadingtroughs  being 
bound  up  in  their  clothes  upon 
their  shoulders. 

35  And  the  children  of  Israel  did 
according  to  the  word  of  Moses; 
and  they  borrowed  of  the  Egyp- 
tians jewels  of  silver,  and  jewels 
of  gold,  and  raiment: 

36  And  the  Lord  gave  the  peo- 
ple favour  in  the  sight  of  the 
Egyptians,  so  that  they  lent  unto 
the'm  such  things  as  they  required : 
and  they  spoiled  the  Egyptians. 

37  And  the  children  of  Israel 
journeyed  from  Rameses  to  Suc- 
coth,  about  six  hundred  thousand 
on  foot  that  were  men,  beside 
children. 

38  And  a  mixed  multitude  went 


up  also  with  them ;  and  flocks,  and 
herds,  even  very  much  cattle. 

39  And  they  baked  unleavened 
cakes  of  the  dough  they  brought 
out  of  Egypt,  for  it  was  not  leav- 
ened; because  they  were  thrust 
out  of  Egypt,  and  could  not  tarry, 
neither  had  they  prepared  for 
themselves  any  victuals. 

40  Now  the  sojourning  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  who  dwelt  in 
Egjypt,  was  four  hundi-ed  and 
thirty  years. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end 
of  the  four  hundred  and  thirty 
years,  even  the  selfsame  day,  that 
all  the  hosts  of  the  Lord  went  out 
from  the  land  of  Egypt. 

(Ps.  105—37  He  brought  them 
forth  also  with  silver  and  gold: 
and  there  was  not  one  feeble  per- 
son among  their  tribes.) 

42  It  is  a  night  to  be  much  ob- 
served unto  the  Lord  for  bringing 
them  out  from  the  land  of  Egypt : 
this  is  that  night  of  the  Lord  to 
be  observed  of  all  the  children  of 
Israel  in  their  generations. 

43  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses 
and  Aaron,  This  is  the  ordinance 
of  the  passover:  There  shall  no 
stranger  eat  thereof: 

44  But  every  man's  servant  that 
is  bought  for  money,  when  thou 
hast  cii'cumcised  him,  then  shall 
he  eat  thereof. 

45  A  foreigner  and  a  hired  ser- 
vant shall  not  eat  thereof. 

46  In  one  house  shall  it  be  eaten ; 
thou  shalt  not  carry  forth  aught 
of  the  flesh  abroad  out  of  the 
house;  neither  shall  ye  break  a 
bone  thereof. 

47  All  the  congregation  of  Israel 
shall  keep  it. 

48  And  when  a  stranger  shall  so- 
journ with  thee,  and  will  keep  the 
passover  to  the  Lord,  let  all  his 
males  be  circumcised,  and  then 
let  him  come  near  and  keep  it; 
and  he  shall  be  as  one  that  is  born 
in  the  land:  for  no  uncircumcised 
person  shall  eat  thereof. 

50  Thus  did  all  the  children  of 
Israel;  as  the  Lord  commanded. 

51  And  the  same  day, the  Lord 
did  bring  the  children  of  Israel 
out  of  Egypt  by  their  armies. 

The  children  of  Israel  passed 
through  the  Red  Sea  and  into  the 
wilderness.  Pharaoh  and  his 
armv  pursued  after  them,  and 
were  drowned  in  the  Red  Sea. 


159 


Ex.  13—17  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  Pharaoh  had  let  the  peo- 
ple go,  that  God  led  them  not 
through  the  way  of  the  land  of  the 
Philistines,  although  that  was 
near;  for  God  said,  Lest  perad  ven- 
ture the  people  repent  when  they 
see  war,  and  they  return  to  Egypt : 

18  But  God  led  the  people  about, 
through  the  way  of  the  wilder- 
ness of  the  Red  sea:  and  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  went  up  harnessed 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt. 

20  And  they  took  their  jour- 
ney from  Succoth,  and  encamped 
in  Etham,  in  the  edge  of  the  wil- 
derness. 

21  And  the  Lord  went  before 
them  by  day  in  a  pillar  of  a  cloud, 
to  lead  them  the  way;  and  by 
night  in  a  pillar  of  tire,  to  give 
them  light;  to  go  by  day  and 
night. 

22  He  took  not  away  the  pillar 
of  the  cloud  by  day,  nor  the  pillar 
of  fire  by  night,  from  before  the 
people. 

Ex.  14—5  And  it  was  told  the 
king  of  Egypt  that  the  people 
fled:  and  the  heart  of  Pharaoh 
and  of  his  servants  was  turned 

Wainst  the  people,  and  they  said, 
hy  have  we  done  this,  that  we 
have  let  Israel  go  from  serving  us? 

6  And  he  made  ready  his  char- 
iot, and  took  his  people  with  him: 

7  And  he  took  six  hvuidred 
chosen  chariots,  and  all  the  char- 
iots of  Egypt,  and  captains  over 
every  one  of  them. 

8  And  the  Lord  hardened  the 
heart  of  Pharaoh  king  of  Egypt, 
and  he  pursued  after  the  children 
of  Israel:  and  the  children  of  Is- 
rael went  out  with  a  high  hand. 

9  But  the  Egyptians  pursued 
after  them,  all  the  horses  and 
chariots  of  Pharaoh,  and  his  horse- 
men, and  his  army,  and  overtook 
them  encamping  by  the  sea. 

10  And  when  Pharaoh  drew 
nigh,  the  children  of  Israel  lifted 
up  their  eyes,  and,  behold,  the 
Egyptians  marched  after  them; 
and  they  were  sore  afraid:  and 
the  children  of  Israel  cried  out 
unto  the  Lord. 

11  And  they  saidyunto  Moses, 
Because  there  were  no  graves  in 
Egypt,  hast  thou  taken  us  away 
to  die  in  the  wilderness?  where- 
fore hast  thou  dealt  thus  with  us, 
to  carry  us  forth  out  of  Egypt? 

12  Is  not  this  the  word' that  we 


did  tell  thee  in  Egypt,  saying. 
Let  us  alone,  that  we  may  serve 
the  Egyptians?  For  it  had  been 
better  for  us  to  serve  the  Egyp- 
tians, than  that  we  should  die  in 
the  wilderness. 

13  And  Moses  said  imto  the 
people.  Fear  ye  not,  stand  still, 
and  see  the  salvation  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  will  shew  to  you  to  day: 
for  the  Egyptians  whom  ye  have 
seen  to  day,  ye  shall  see  them, 
again  no  more  for  ever. 

14  The  Lord  shall  tight  for  you, 
and  ye  shall  hold  your  peace. 

19  And  the  Angel  of  God,  which 
went  before  the  camp  of  Israel, 
removed  and  went  behind  them ; 
and  the  pillar  of  the  cloud  went 
from  before  their  face,  and  stood 
behind  them : 

20  And  it  came  between  the 
camp  of  the  Egyptians  and  the 
camp  of  Israel;  and  it  was  a 
cloud  and  darkness  to  them,  but 
it  gave  light  by  night  to  these: 
so  that  the  one  came  not  near  the 
other  all  the  night. 

21  And  Moses  stretched  out  his 
hand  over  the  sea ;  and  tbe  Lord 
caused  the  sea  to  go  back  by  a 
strong  east  wind  all  that  night, 
and  made  the  sea  dry  land,  and 
the  waters  were  divided. 

22  And  the  children  of  Israel 
went  into  the  midst  of  the  sea 
upon  the  dry  ground:  and  the 
waters  were  a  wall  unto  them  on 
their  right  hand,  and  on  their 
left. 

23  And  the  Egyptians  pursued, 
and  went  in  after  them  to  the 
midst  of  the  sea,  even  all  Pha- 
raoh's horses,  his  chariots,  and 
his  horsemen. 

26  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Stretch  out  thine  hand 
over  the  sea,  that  the  waters  may 
come  again  upon  the  Egyptians, 
upon  their  cnariots,  and  upon 
their  horsemen. 

27  And  Moses  stretched  forth 
his  hand  over  the  sea,  and  the 
sea  returned  to  his  strength  when 
the  morning  appeared;  and  the 
Egyptians  tied  against  it ;  and  the 
Lord  overthrew  the  Egyptians  in 
the  midst  of  the  sea. 

28  And  the  waters  returned, 
and  covered  the  chariots,  and 
the  horsemen,  and  all  the  host  of 
Pharaoh  that  came  into  the  sea 
after  them;  there  remained  not 
so  much  as  one  of  them. 


160 


29  But  the  children  of  Israel 
■walked  upon  dry  laud  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea ;  aud  the  waters 
were  a  wall  uuto  them  ou  theii- 
right  haud,  aud  ou  theh  left. 

30  Thus  the  Lohd  saved  Israel 
that  day  out  of  the  haud  of  the 
Egyptians ;  aud  Israel  Siiw  the 
Egyptians  dead  upon  the  sea 
shore. 

31  Aud  Israel  saw  that  great 
work  which  the  Lord  did  upon 
the  Egvptiaus:  aud  the  people 
ieared  the  Lord,  aud  believed 
the  Lord,  and  his  servant  Moses. 

Ex.  15—1  Theu  sang  Moses  aud 
the  children  of  Israel  this  song 
mito  the  Lord,  aud  spake,  say- 
ing, I  will  slug  luito  the  Lord,  tor 
he  hath  triumphed  gloriously: 
the  horse  and  his  rider  hath  he 
throwu  into  the  sea. 

•20  Aud  Mu-iam  the  prophetess, 
the  sister  of  Aaron,  took  a  timbrel 
in  her  haud ,  aud  all  the  women 
went  out  after  her  with  timbrels 
aud  with  dances. 

•Ji  Aud  Miriam  answe.'-ed  them. 
Sing  ye  to  the  Lord,  for  he  hath 
triuuiphed  gloriously:  the  hor.se 
and  his  rider  hath  he  throwu  into 
the  sea. 

2-2  So  Closes  brought  Israel  from 
the  Red  sea,  aud  they  went  out 
iuto  the  wilderness  of  Shur;  and 
they  weut  three  days  in  the  wil- 
derness, aud  foimd  uo  water. 

23  Aud  wheu  they  came  to 
Marah.  they  could  uot  druik  of 
the  watere  of  Marah,  for  they 
were  bitter;  therefore  the  name 
of  it  was  called  Marah. 

24  Aud  the  people  uuu-mm'ed 
against  Moses,  sayiug.  What  shall 
we  drink? 

25  Aud  he  cried  unto  the  Lord  : 
and  the  Lord  shewed  him  a  tree, 
which  when  he  had  cast  iuto  the 
watei-s,  the  waters  were  made 
sweet:  there  he  made  for  them 
a  statute  aud  an  ordinance,  and 
there  he  proved  them. 

2(3  Aud  said.  If  thou  wilt  dili- 
geutly  hearken  to  the  voice  of 
the  Lord  thy  God,  aud  wilt  do 
that  which  is  right  in  his  sight, 
aud  wilt  give  ear  to  his  com- 
maudmeuts,  aud  keep  all  his  stat- 
utes, I  will  put  noue  of  these  dis- 
eases upon  thee,  which  I  have 
brought  upon  the  Egyptians:  for 
I  am  the  Lord  that  healeth  thee. 

27  Aud  they  came  to  Elim, 
where  were  twelve  wells  of  water. 


aud  threescore  and  ten  palm 
trees:  aud  they  eucamped  there 
by  the  waters.    Nu.  33.  9.  p.  301. 

After  forty  years  of  wauderiug 
in  the  wilderness,  aud  about 
thhty  days  before  his  deatti,  Mt>- 
ses  gave  the  following  comuu\ud- 
ments  to  the  children  of  Israel, 
excepting  Le.  26,  following,  which 
was  given  in  the  tii-st  or  second 
year  after  they  left  Egypt. 

De.  S— 7  The  Lord  thv  God 
bringeth  thee  iuto  a  good  laud,  a 
laud  of  brooks  of  water,  of  fouu- 
tains  aud  depths  that  spring  out 
of  valleys  and  hills; 

S  A  laud  of  wheat  and  barley, 
aud  vines,  aud  tig  trees,  aud 
pomegranates:  a  laud  of  oil  olive, 
and  honey: 

9  A  land  wherein  thou  shalt  eat 
bread  without  S(.nirceness,  thou 
shalt  uot  lack  any  thiug  in  it ;  a 
laud  whose  stones  are  u-on,  and 
out  of  whose  hills  thou  mayest 
dig  brass. 

10  When  thou  hast  eateu  and 
art  full,  theu  thou  shalt  bless  the 
Lord  thy  God  for  the  good  land 
which  he  hath  giveu  thee. 

11  Beware  that  thou  foi"get  not 
the  Lord  thy  God,  iu  uot  keepiug 
his  commandments,  aud  his  judg- 
meuts.  aud  his  stattites,  which  I 
command  thee  this  day: 

12  Lest,  when  thou  hast  eateu 
and  art  full,  and  hast  built  goodly 
hovises.  and  dwell  therein  ; 

13  Aud  when  thy  herds  and  thy 
flocks!  multiply,  aud  thy  silver 
and  thy  gold  IS  multiplied,  aud  all 
that  thou  hast  is  mtiltiplied ; 

14  Then  thiue  heart  be  lifted  up. 
aud  thou  forgot  the  Lord  thy 
God,  which  brought  thee  forth 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  fi-om 
the  house  of  bondage. 

De.  9 — 4  8peak  not  thou  in  thine 
heart,  after  that  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  cast  them  out  from  be- 
fore thee,  sayiug.  For  my  right- 
eousness the  Lord  hath  brought 
me  m  to  possess  this  land : 

5  Not  for  thy  righteousness,  or 
for  th  uprightness  of  thuie  heart, 
dost  thou  go  to  possess  their  laud : 
but  for  the  wickedness  of  these 
nations  the  Lord  thy  God  doth 
drive  them  out  fi-om  hefore  thee, 
aud  that  he  may  perform  the 
word  which  the  Lord  sware  unto 
thy  fathers,  Abraham,  Isaac,  and 
Jacob. 


161 


G  Understand  therefore,  that  the 
LoKD  thy  God  gi  veth  thee  not  this 
go<jd  land  to  possess  it  for  thy 
righteousness ;  for  thou  art  a  stiff- 
necked  people. 

De.  11—8  Therefore  shall  ye  keep 
all  the  commandments  which  I 
command  you  this  day,  that  ye 
may  he  strong,  and  go  in  and  pos- 
sess the  land,  whither  ye  go  to 
possess  it : 

9  And  that  ye  may  prolong  yoiir 
days  in  the  land,  which  the  Lord 
sware  unto  your  fathers  to  give 
unto  them  and  to  their  seed.a  land 
that  tloweth  with  milk  and  honey. 

10  For  the  land,  whither  thou 
goest  in  to  possess  it,  is  not  as  the 
land  of  Egypt,  from  whence  ye 
came  out,  where  thou  sowedst  thy 
seed,  and  wateredst  it  with  thy 
foot^as  a  garden  of  herbs: 

11  But  the  laud,  whither  ye  go  to 
possess  it.  is  a  land  of  hills  and 
valleys,  and  drinketh  water  of  the 
rain  of  heaven : 

12  A  laud  which  the  Lord  thy 
God  careth  for:  the  eyes  of  the 
Lord  thy  God  are  always  upon  it, 
from  the  beginning  of  the  year 
even  unto  the  end.  Nu.  35.  34,  p. 
213 ;  De.  23.  14,  p.  234. 

The  blessings  for  obedience,  and 
the  terrible  and  inhuman  curses 
for  disobedience. 

Le.  26—1  Ye  shall  make  you  no 
idols  nor  graven  image,  neither 
rear  you  up  a  standing  image, 
neither  shall  ye  set  up  any  image 
of  stone  in  your  land,  to  bow  down 
unto  it :  lor  I  am  the  Lord  your 
God. 

2  IF  Ye  shall  keep  my  sabbaths, 
and  reverence  my  sanctuary :  I  am 
the  Lord. 

3  IT  If  ye  walk  in  my  statutes, 
and  keep  my  commandments,  and 
do  them ; 

4  Then  I  will  give  you  rain  in 
due  season,  and  the  land  shall 
yield  her  increase,  and  the  trees  of 
the  field  shall  yield  their  fruit. 

5  And  your  threshing  shall  reach 
unto  the  vintage,  and  the  vintage 
shall  reach  unto  the  sowing  time: 
and  ye  shall  eat  your  bread  to  the 
full, and  dwell  in  your  land  safely. 

6  And  I  will  give  peace  in  the 
land,  and  ye  shall  lie  down,  and 
none  shall  make  you  afraid :  and  i 
will  rid  evil  beastsout  of  the  land, 
neither  shall  the  sword  go  through 
your  land. 


7  And  ye  shall  chase  your  ene- 
mies, and  tliey  sliall  fall  before 
you  by  the  sword. 

8  And  five  of  you  shall  chase  a 
hundred,  and  a  hundred  of  you 
sliall  put  ten  thousand  to  flight: 
and  your  enemies  shall  fall  before 
you  by  the  sword. 

9  For  I  will  have  respect  unto 
you,  and  make  you  fruitful,  and 
multiply  you,  and  establish  my 
covenant  with  you. 

10  And  ye  shall  eat  old  store, 
and  bring  forth  the  old  because  of 
the  new. 

11  And  I  will  set  my  tabernacle 
amongyou:  and  my  soul  shall  not 
abhor  you. 

12  And  I  will  walk  among  you, 
and  will  be  your  God,  and  ye  shall 
be  my  people. 

13  I  am  the  Lord  your  God, 
which  brought  you  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  Egypt,  that  ye  should 
not  be  their  bondmen ;  and  I  have 
broken  the  bands  of^  your  yoke, 
and  made  you  go  upright. 

14  H  But  if  ye  will  not  hearken 
unto  me,  and  will  not  do  all  these 
commandments ; 

15  And  if  ye  shall  despise  my 
.statutes,  or  if  your  soul  abhor  my 
judgments,  so  that  ye  will  not  do 
all  my  commandments, 

16  I  also  will  do  this  unto  you; 
I  will  even  appoint  over  you  tei^ 
ror,  consumption,  and  the  burn- 
ing ague,  that  shall  consume  the 
eyes,  and  cause  soitow  of  heart: 
and  ye  shall  sow  yourseedinvain, 
for  your  enemies  shall  eat  it. 

17  And  I  will  set  my  face  against 
you,  and  ye  shall  be  slain  before 
your  enemies:  they  that  hate  you 
shall  reign  over  you ;  and  ye  shall 
tlee  when  none  pursueth  you. 

18  And  if  ye  will  not  yet  for  all 
this  hearken  unto  me,  then  I  will 
punish  you  seven  times  more  for 
your  sins. 

19  And  1  will  break  the  pride  of 
your  power ;  and  I  will  make  your 
heaven  as  iron,  and  your  earth  as 
brass: 

20  And  your  strength  shall  be 
spent  in  vain:  for  your  land  shall 
not  yield  her  increase,  neither 
shall  the  trees  of  the  land  yield 
their  fruits. 

21  H  And  if  ye  walk  contrary 
unto  me,  and  will  not  hearken  un- 
to me;  I  will  bring  seven  times 
more  plagues  upon  you  according 
to  your  sins. 


162 


22  I  will  also  send  wild  beasts 
among  you,  which  shall  rob  you 
of  your  children,  and  destroy  your 
cattle,  and  make  you  few  in  num- 
ber ;  and  your  high  ways  shall  be 
desolate. 

23  And  if  ye  will  not  be  reform- 
ed by  me  by  these  things,  but  will 
walk  contrary  unto  me ; 

24  Then  will  I  also  walk  contrary 
unto  you,  and  will  punish  you  yet 
seven  times  for  your  sins. 

25  And  I  will  bring  a  sword  upon 
you,  that  shall  avenge  the  quarrel 
of  my  covenant :  and  when  ye  are 
gathered  together  within  your 
cities,  I  will  send  the  pestilence 
among  you ;  and  ye  shall  be  deliv- 
ered into  the  hand  of  the  enemy. 

26  And  when  I  have  broken  the 
staff  of  yoiir  bread,  ten  women 
shall  bake  your  bread  in  one  oven, 
and  they  shall  deliver  you  your 
bread  again  by  weight:  and  ye 
shall  eat,  and  not  be  satisfied. 

27  And  if  ye  will  not  for  all  this 
hearken  unto  me,  but  walk  con- 
trary \uito  me ; 

28  Then  I  will  walk  contrary 
unto  you  also  in  fury ;  and  I,  even 
I,  will  chastise  you  seven  times 
for  your  sins. 

29  And  ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of 
your  sons,  and  the  flesh  of  your 
daughters  shall  ye  eat.  2  Ki.  6.  28, 
p.  83. 

30  And  I  will  destroy  your  high 
places,  and  cut  down  your  images, 
and  cast  your  carcasses  upon  the 
carcasses  of  your  idols,  and  my 
soul  shall  abhor  you. 

31  And  I  will  make  yoiir  cities 
waste,  and  bring  your  sanctuaries 
unto  desolation,  and  J  will  not 
smell  the  savour  of  your  sweet 
odours. 

32  And  I  will  bring  the  land 
into  desolation :  and  your  enemies 
which  dwell  therein  shall  be  as- 
tonished at  it 

33  And  I  will  scatter  you  among 
the  heathen,  and  will  draw  out  a 
sword  after  you:  and  your  land 
shall  be  desolate,  and  your  cities 
waste.    2  Ki.  25,  p.  34. 

34  Then  shall  the  land  enjoy  her 
sabbaths,  as  long  as  it  lieth  deso- 
late, and  ye  be  in  your  enemies' 
land;  even  then  shall  the  land 
rest,  and  enjoy  her  sabbaths.  Le. 
25,  p.  68. 

35  As  long  as  it  lieth  desolate  it 
shall  rest;  because  it  did  not  rest 
in  your  sabbaths  when  ye  dwelt 
upon  it. 


36  And  upon  them  that  are  left 
alive  of  you  I  will  send  a  faintness 
into  their  hearts  in  the  lands  of 
their  enemies;  and  the  sound  of  a 
shaken  leaf  shall  chase  them ;  and 
they  shall  flee,  as  fleeing  from  a 
sword;  and  they  shall  fall  when 
nonepursueth. 

37  And  they  shall  fall  one  upon 
another,  as  it  were  before  a  sword, 
when  none  pursueth:  and  ye  shall 
have  no  power  to  stand  before 
your  enemies. 

38  And  ye  shall  perish  among  the 
heathen,  and  the  land  of  your  en- 
emies shall  eat  you  up. 

39  And  they  that  are  left  of  you 
shall  pine  away  in  their  iniquity 
in  your  enemies'  lands;  and  also 
in  the  iniquities  of  their  fathers 
shall  they  pine  away  with  them. 

40  If  they  shall  confess  their  in- 
iquity, and  the  iniquity  of  their 
fathers,  with  their  trespass  which 
they  trespassed  against  me,  and 
that  also  they  have  walked  con- 
trary unto  me ; 

41  And  that  I  also  have  walked 
contrary  unto  them,  and  have 
brought  them  into  the  land  of 
their  enemies;  if  then  their  un- 
circumcised  hearts  be  humbled, 
and  they  then  accept  of  the  pun- 
ishment of  their  iniquity : 

42  Then  will  I  remember  my 
covenant  with  Jacob,  and  also  my 
covenant  with  Isaac,  and  also 
my  covenant  with  Abraham  will 
I  remember;  and  I  will  remember 
the  land. 

43  The  land  also  shall  be  left  of 
them,  and  shall  enjoy  her  sab- 
baths, while  she  lieth  desolate 
without  them :  and  they  shall  ac- 
cept of  the  punishment  of  their 
iniquity;  because,  even  because 
they  despised  my  judgments,  and 
because  their  soul  abhorred  my 
statutes. 

44  And  yet  for  all  that,  when 
they  be  in  the  landof  their  ene- 
mies, I  will  not  cast  them  away, 
neither  will  I  abhor  them,  to  de- 
stroy them  utterly,  and  to  break 
my  covenant  with  them :  for  I  am 
the  Lord  their  God. 

45  But  I  will  for  their  sakes  re- 
member the  covenant  of  their  an- 
cestors, whom  I  brought  forth  out 
of  the  land  of  Egypt. 

46  These  are  the  statutes  and 
judgments  and  laws,  which  the 
LoKD  made  between  him  and  the 
children  of  Israel  in  mount  Sinai 
by  the  hand  of  Moses.

De.  28—1  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  if  thou  shalt  hearken  dili- 
gently unto  the  voice  of  tlie  Lord 
thy  God,  to  observe  and  to  do  all 
his  commandments  which  I  com- 
mand thee  this  day,  that  the  Lokd 
thy  God  will  set  thee  on  high 
above  all  nations  of  the  earth : 

2  And  all  these  blessings  shall 
come  on  thee,  and  overtake  thee, 
if  thou  shalt  hearken  unto  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God. 

3  Blessed  shalt  thou  be  in  the 
city,  and  blessed  shalt  thou  be  in 
the  field. 

4  Blessed  shall  be  the  fruit  of 
thy  body,  and  the  fruit  of  thy 
ground,  and  the  fruit  of  thy 
cattle,  the  increase  of  thy  kine, 
and  the  fiocks  of  thy  sheep. 

5  Blessed  shall  be  thy  basket 
and  thy  store. 

6  Biessed  shalt  thou  be  when 
thou  comest  in,  and  blessed  shalt 
thou  be  when  thou  goest  out. 

7  The  Lord  shall  cause  thine 
enemies  that  rise  un  against  thee 
to  be  smitten  before  thy  face: 
they  shall  come  out  against  thee 
one  way,  and  flee  before  thee 
seven  ways. 

8  The  Lord  shall  command  the 
blessing  upon  thee  in  thy  store- 
houses, and  in  all  that  thou  set- 
test  thine  hand  unto ;  and  he  shall 
bless  thee  in  the  laud  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  givetli  thee.  Is.  C5. 8, 
Eze.  34.  26.    p.  15. 

9  The  Lord  shall  establish  thee 
a  holy  people  unto  himself,  as  he 
hath  sworn  unto  thee,  if  thou 
shalt  keep  the  commandments  of 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  walk  in 
his  ways. 

10  And  all  people  of  the  earth 
shall  see  that  thou  art  called 
by  the  name  of  the  Lord;  and 
they  shall  be  afraid  of  thee. 

11  And  the  Lord  shall  make 
thee  plenteous  in  goods,  in  the 
fruit  of  thy  body,  and  in  the  fruit 
of  thy  cattle,  and  in  the  fruit  of 
thy  ground,  in  the  land  which  the 
Lord  sware  unto  thy  fathers  to 
give  thee. 

12  The  Lord  shall  open  unto 
thee  his  good  treasure,  the  heaven 
to  give  tlie  rain  unto  thy  land  in 
his  season,  and  to  bless  all  the 
work  of  thine  hand:  and  thou 
shalt  lend  unto  many  nations,  and 
thou  shalt  not  borrow. 

13  And  the  Lord  shall  make 
thee  the  head,  and  not  the  tail : 
and  thou  shalt  be  above  only,  and 


thou  shalt  not  be  beneath ;  if  that 
thou  hearken  unto  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord  thy  God, 
which  I  command  thee  this  day. 
to  observe  and  to  do  them : 

14  And  thou  shalt  not  go  aside 
from  any  of  the  words  which  I 
command  thee  this  day,  to  the 
right  hand,  or  to  the  left,  to  go 
after  other  gods  to  serve  them. 

15  H  But  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
if  thou  wilt  not  hearken  unto  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  to  ob- 
serve to  do  all  his  commandments, 
and  his  statutes  which  I  command 
thee  this  day;  that  all  these 
cur.ses  shall  come  upon  thee,  and 
overtake  thee : 

16  Cursed  shalt  thou  be  in  the 
city,  and  cursed  shalt  thou  be  in 
the  field. 

17  Cursed  shall  be  thy  basket 
and  thy  store. 

18  Cursed  shall  be  the  fruit  of 
thy  body,  and  the  fruit  of  thy 
land,  the  increase  of  thy  kine, 
and  the  flocks  of  thy  sheep. 

19  Cursed  shalt  thou  be  when 
thou  comest  in,  and  cursed  shalt 
thou  be  when  thou  goest  out. 

20  The  Lord  shall  send  upon 
thee  cursing,  vexation,  and  re- 
buke, in  all  that  thou  settest 
thine  hand  unto  for  to  do,  until 
thou  be  destroyed,  and  until  thou 
perish  quickly;  because  of  the 
wickedness  of  thy  doings,  where- 
by thou  hast  forsaken  me. 

21  The   Lord  shall   make  the 
pestilence  cleave  unto  thee,  until* 
he  have  consumed  thee  from  off 
the  land,  whither  thou  goest  to 
possess  it. 

22  The  Lord  shall  smite  thee 
with  a  consumption,  and  with  a 
fever,  and  with  an  inflammation, 
and  with  an  extreme  burning,  and 
with  the  sword,  and  with  blast- 
ing, and  with  mildew ;  and  they 
shall  pursue  thee  until  thou 
perish. 

23  And  thy  heaven  that  is  over 
thy  head  shall  be  brass,  and  the 
earth  that  is  under  thee  shall  be 
iron. 

24  The  Lord  shall  make  the 
rain  of  thy  land  powder  and  dust: 
from  heaven  shall  it  come  down 
upon  thee,  until  thou  be  de- 
stroyed. 

25  The  Lord  shall  cause  thee 
to  be  smitten  before  thine  ene- 
mies: thou  shalt  go  out  one 
way  against  them,  and  flee  seven 
ways  liefore  them;  and  shalt  be 


164 


lemoTed  into  all  the  kingdoms  of 
the  earth. 

•^6  And  thy  carcass  shall  be 
meat  unto  all  fowls  of  the  air.  and 
njiTO  the  beasts  of  the  earth,  and 
no  man  shall  fray  them  away. 

27  The  Lord  will  smite  thee 
-with  the  botch  of  Egypt,  and  with 
the  emerods,  and  with  the  scab, 
and  with  the  itch,  whereot  thou 
canst  not  be  healed. 

-28  The  LOED  shall  smite  thee 
-with  madness,  and  blindness,  and 
astonishment  of  heart : 

29  And  thoii  shalt  grope  at 
noondav,  as  the  blind  gropeth  in 
darkness,  and  thou  shalt  not  pros- 
per in  thy  ways:  and  thou  shalt 
be  oppressed  and  spoiled  ever- 
more, and  no  man  shall  save  thee. 

30  Thou  shalt  betroth  a  wife, 
and  another  man  shall  lie  with 
her:  thou  shalt  build  a  house, 
and  thou  shalt  not  dwell  therein : 
thou  shalt  plant  a  vineyard,  and 
shalt  not  gather  the  grapes 
thereof.  ,   . 

31  Thine  ox  shall  be  slam  be- 
fore thine  eves,  and  thou  shalt  not 
eat  thereof:  thme  ass  shall  be  vio- 
ientlv  taken  away  from  before 
thv  face,  and  shall  not  be  restored 
to  thee :  thy  sheep  shall  be  given 
■unto  thine  enemies,  and  thou 
shalt  have  none  to  rescue  them. 

32  Thv  sons  and  thy  daughters 
shall  be  given  unto  another  peo- 
ple, and  thine  eyes  shall  look. 
and  fail  with  longing  for  them 

•  all  the  dav  long:  and  there  shall 
be  no  might  in  thine  hand. 

33  The  fruit  of  thy  land,  and 
all  thv  labotirs  shall  a  nation 
which 'thou  knowest  not  eat  up: 
and  thou  shalt  be  only  oppressed 
and  crushed  alway : ,    ,     ,  , 

Si  So  that  thou  shalt  be  mad 
for  the  sight  of  thine  eyes  which 
thou  shalt  see.        ,         .       ,       • 

a5  The  Lord  shall  smite  thee  m 
the  knees,  and  in  the  legs,  with  a 
sore  botch  that  cannot  be  healed, 
from  the  sole  of  thy  foot  unto  the 
top  of  thy  head.  ,    „  ,    .        ^, 

36  The  Lord  shall  hrmg  thee, 
and  thy  king  which  thou  shalt  set 
over  thee,  vmto  a  nation  which 
neither  thou  nor  thy  fathers  have 
known;  and  there  shalt  thou 
serve  other  gods,  wood  and  stone. 

37  And  thou  shalt  become  an 
astonishment,  a  proverb,  and  a 
bvword,  among  all  nations  whith- 
er the  Lord  shall  lead  thee. 


38  Thou  shalt  carry  much  seed 
out  into  the  field,  and  shalt 
gather  but  little  in;  for  the  lo- 
cust shall  consume  it. 

39  Thou  shalt  plant  vmeyards, 
and  dress  them,  but  shalt  neither 
drink  of  the  wine,  nor  gather  the 
grapes ;  for  the  worms  shall  eat 
them. 

40  Thou  shalt  have  olive  trees 
throughout  all  thy  coasts,  but 
thou  shalt  not  anoint  thyself  with 
the  oil:  for  thine  olive  shall  cast 
his  fruit.  ,  , 

41  Thou  shalt  beget  sons  and 
daughters,  but  thou  shalt  not  en- 
joy them:  for  they  shall  go  into 
captivity.  ,  ,     •      -■  ., 

42  All  thv  trees  and  fruit  of  thy 
land  shall  the  locust  consume.   . 

43  The  stranger  that  is  withm 
thee  shall  get  up  above  thee  very 
high:  and  thou  shalt  comedown 
very  low.  ,  ,  , 

44  He  shall  lend  to  thee,  and 
thou  shalt  not  lend  to  him:  he 
shall  be  the  head,  and  thou  shalt 
be  the  tail. 

45  Moreover  all  these  cnrses 
shall  come  upon  thee,  and  shall 
pursue  thee,  and  overtake  thee, 
till  thou  be  destroyed;  because 
thou  hearkenedst  not  mito  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  to 
keep  his  commandments  and  his 
statutes  which   he   commanded 

46  And  thev  shall  be  upon  thee 
for  a  sign  and  for  a  wonder,  and 
upon  thy  seed  for  ever. 

47  Because  thou  servedst  not 
the  Lord  thy  God  with  joyful- 
ness.  and  with  gladness  of  heart, 
for  the  abimdance  of  all  thmgs: 

48  Therefore  shalt  thou  ser\-e 
thine  enemies,  which  the  Lord 
shall  send  against  thee,  m  htinger. 
and  in  thirst,  and  in  nakedness, 
and  in  want  of  all  things:  and  he 
shall  put  a  yoke  of  iron  upon  thv 
neck,    until   he   have   destroyed 

thee.  ,,,,_• 

49  The  Lord  shall  hrmg  a  na- 
tion against  thee  from  far,  faom 
the  end  of  the  earth,  as  swift  as 
the  eagle  tiieth:  a  nation  whose 
tongue  thou  shalt  not  imderstaud. 

50  A  nation  of  tierce  counte- 
nance, which  shall  not  regard  the 
person  of  the  old,  nor  shew  favour 
tothevoung.    2  Chr.  36. 17.  p.  6. 

51  Aiid  he  shall  eat  the  fruit  of 
thv  cattle,  and  the  fruit  of  thy 
lahd,  mitil   thou  be   destroyed: 


16fi 


which  also  shall  not  leave  thee 
either  com,  wiue,  or  oil,  or  the  iu- 
crease  of  thy  kine.or  tlocks  of  thy 
sheep,  until  he  have  destroyed 
thee. 

52  And  he  shall  besiege  thee  in 
all  thy  gates,  until  thy  high  and 
fenced  walls  come  down,  wherein 
thoii  tnistedst,  throughout  all  thy 
land :  and  he  shall  besiege  thee  in 
all  thy  gates  throughout  all  thy 
laud,  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  given  thee. 

53  And  thou  shalt  eat  the  fruit 
of  thine  own  body,  the  flesh  of 
thy  sons  and  of  thy  daughters, 
which  the  Lokd  thy  God  hath 
given  thee,  in  the  siege,  and  in  the 
straitness,  wherewith  thine  ene- 
mies shall  distressthee.  2  Ki.  6. 28, 
p.  83. 

54  So  that  the  man  that  is  tender 
among  you,  and  very  delicate,  his 
eye  shall  be  evil  toward  his  broth- 
er, and  toward  the  wife  of  his 
bosom,  and  toward  the  remnant 
of  his  children  which  he  shall 
leave: 

55  So  that  he  will  not  give  to  any 
of  them  of  the  flesh  of  his  children 
whom  he  shall  eat:  because  he 
hath  nothing  left  him  in  the  siege, 
and  in  the  straitness,  wherewith 
thine  enemies  shall  distress  thee 
in  all  thy  gates. 

56  The  tender  and  delicate  wo- 
man among  you,  which  would  not 
adventure  to  set  the  sole  of  her 
foot  upon  the  ground  for  delicate- 
ness  and  tenderness,  her  eye  .'^hall 
be  evil  toward  the  husband  of  her 
bosom,  and  toward  her  son,  and 
toward  her  daughter, 

57  And  toward  her  yoimg  one 
that  Cometh  out  from  between 
her  feet,  and  toward  her  children 
which  she  shall  bear :  for  .she  shall 
eat  them  for  want  of  all  things 
secretly  in  the  siege  and  strait- 
ness, where  with  thine  enemy  shall 
distress  thee  in  thy  gates. 

58  If  thou  wilt  not  observe  to  do 
all  the  words  of  this  law  that  are 
written  in  this  book,  that  thou 
mavest  fear  this  glorious  and 
fearful  name,  THE  LORD  THY 
GOD: 

59  Then  the  Lord  will  make 
thy  plagues  wonderful,  and  the 
plagues  of  thy  seed,  even  great 
plagues,  and  of  long  continuance, 
and  sore  sicknesses,  and  of  long 
continuance. 


60  Moreover,  he  will  bring  upon 
thee  all  the  diseases  of  Egypt, 
which  thou  wast  afraid  of;  and 
they  shall  cleave  unto  thee. 

Cl  Also  every  sickness,  and  every 

Elague,  which  is  not  written  in  the 
ooK  of  this  law,  them  will  the 
Lord  bring  upon  thee,  until  thou 
be  destroyed. 

62  And  ye  shall  be  left  few  in 
number,  whereas  ye  were  as  the 
stars  of  heaven  for  multitude;  be- 
cause thou  wouldest  not  obey  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God. 

63  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
as  the  Lord  rejoiced  over  you  to 
do  you  good,  and  to  multiply  you ; 
so  the  Lord  will  rejoice  over  you 
to  destroy  you,  and  to  bring  you 
to  nought ;  and  ye  shall  be  plucked 
from  off  the  land  whither  thoa 
goest  to  possess  it. 

64  And  the  Lord  shall  scatter 
thee  among  all  people,  from  the 
one  end  of  the  earth  even  unto  the 
other;  and  there  thou  shalt  serve 
other  gods,  which  neither  thou 
nor  thy  fathers  have  known,  even 
wood  and  stone. 

65  And  among  these  nations 
shalt  thou  find  no  ease,  neither 
shall  the  soul  of  thy  foot  have 
rest:  but  the  Lord  shall  give 
thee  there  a  trembling  heart,  and 
failing  of  eyes,  and  sorrow  of 
mind : 

66  And  thy  life  shall  hang  in 
doubt  before  thee;  and  thou  shalt 
fear  day  and  night,  and  shalt  have^ 
none  assurance  of  thy  life : 

67  In  the  morning  thou  shalt 
say,  Would  God  it  were  even !  and 
at  even  thou  shalt  say.  Would 
God  it  were  morning !  for  the  fear 
of  thine  heart  wherewith  thou 
shalt  fear,  and  for  the  sight  of 
thine  eyes  which  thou  shalt  see. 

08  And  the  Lord  shall  bring 
thee  into  Egypt  again  with  ships, 
by  the  way  whereof  I  spake  unto 
thee.  Thou  shalt  see  it  no  move 
again:  and  there  ye  shall  be  sold 
unto  your  enemies  for  bondmen 
and  bondwomen, and  no  man  shall 
buy  you.

De.  30—1  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  when  all  these  things  are 
come  upon  thee,  the  blessing  and 
the  curse,  whicli  I  have  set  before 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  call  them  to 
mind  among  all  the  nations, 
whither  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
•driven  thee, 

2  And  shalt  return  unto  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  shalt  obey  his 
voice  according  to  all  that  I  com- 
mand thee  this  day,  thou  and  thy 
children,  with  all  thine  heart,  and 
with  all  thy  soul ; 

3  That  then  the  Lord  thy  God 
will  turn  thy  captivity,  and  have 
compassion  upon  thee,  and  will  re- 
tru-n  and  gather  thee  from  all  the 
nations,  whither  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  scattered  thee. 

4  If  any  of  thine  be  driven  out 
Tinto  the  outmost  parts  of  heaven, 
from  thence  will  the  Lord  thy 
God  gat  her  thee,  and  from  thence 
will  he  fetch  thee: 

5  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
bring  thee  into  the  land  which 
thy  fathers  possessed,  and  thou 
shalt  possess  it;  and  he  will  do 
thee  good,  and  multiply  thee 
above  thy  fathers. 

6  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
cii'cumcise  thine  heart,  and  the 
heart  of  thy  seed,  to  love  the  Lord 
thy  God  with  all  thine  heart,  and 
with  all  thy  soul,  that  thou  may- 
est  live. 

7  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
put  all  these  curses  upon  thine  en- 
emies, and  on  them  that  hate 
thee,  which  persecuted  thee. 

8  And  thou  shalt  return  and 
obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord,  and 
do  all  his  commandments  which  I 
command  thee  this  day. 

9  And  the  Lord  thy  God  will 
make  thee  plenteotxs  in  every 
work  of  thine  hand,  in  the  fniit  of 
thy  body,  and  in  the  fruit  of  thy 
cattle,  and  in  the  fruit  of  thy  laud, 
for  good:  for  the  Lord  will"  again 
rejoice  over  thee  for  good,  as  he 
rejoiced  over  thy  fathers: 

10  If  thou  shalt  hearken  unto 
the  voice  of  the  Lord  thy  God,  to 
keep  his  commandments  and  his 
statutes  which  are  written  in  this 
book  of  the  law,  and  if  thou  turn 
unto  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all 
thine  heart,  and  with  all  thvsoul. 

11  IT  For  this  commandment 
which  I  command  thee  this  day, 
it  is  not  hidden  from  thee,  neither 
is  it  far  off. 


12  It  is  not  in  heaven,  that  thou 
shouldest  say,  Who  shall  go  up  for 
us  to  heaven,  and  bring  itimto  us, 
that  we  may  hear  it,  and  do  it? 

13  Neither  is  it  beyond  the  sea, 
that  thou  shouldest  say,  Wlio  shall 
go  over  the  sea  for  us,  and  bring  it 
unto  us,  that  we  may  hear  it,  and 
doit? 

14  But  the  word  isvery  nigh  un- 
to thee,  in  thy  mouth,  and  m  thy 
heart,  that  thou  mayest  do  it. 

15  II  See,  I  have  set  before  thee 
this  day  life  and  good,  and  death 
and  evil ; 

16  In  that  I  command  thee  this 
day  to  love  the  Lord  thy  God,  to 
walk  in  his  ways,  and  to  keep  his 
commandments,  and  his  statutes, 
and  his  judgments,  that  thou 
mayest  live  and  multiply :  and  the 
Lord  thy  God  shall  bless  thee  in 
the  land  whither  thou  goest  to 
possess  it. 

17  But  if  thine  heart  turn  away, 
so  that  thou  wilt  not  hear,  but 
shalt  be  drawn  away,  and  worship 
other  gods,  and  serve  them ; 

18 1  denounce  unto  you  this  day, 
that  ye  shall  surely  perish,  and 
that  ye  shall  not  prolong  your  days 
upon  the  land,  whither  thou  pass- 
est  over  Jordan  to  go  to  possess  it. 

19  I  call  heaven  and  earth  to  re- 
cord this  day  against  you,  that  I 
have  set  before  you  life  and  death, 
blessing  and  cursing:  therefore 
choose  life,  that  both  thou  and 
thy  seed  may  live: 

20  That  thou  miayest  love  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  that  thou 
mayest  obey  his  voice,  and  that 
tbou  mayest  cleave  unto  him:  for 
he  is  thy  life,  and  the  length  of 
thy  days:  that  thou  mayest  dwell 
in  the  land  which  the  Lord  sware 
unto  thy  fathers,  to  Abraham,  to 
Isaac,  and  to  Jacob,  to  give  them. 

De.  31—1  And  Moses  went  and 
spake  these  words  unto  all  Israel. 

2  And  he  said  unto  them,  I  am 
a  hmidred  and  twenty  years  old 
this  day;  I  can  no  more  go  out 
and  come  in:  also  the  Lord  hath 
said  unto  me.  Thou  shalt  not  go 
over  this  Jordan. 

3  The  Lord  thy  God,  he  will  go 
over  before  thee,  and  he  will  de- 
stroy these  nations  from  before 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  possess  them : 
and  Joshua,  he  shall  go  over  be- 
fore thee,  as  the  Lord  hath  said. 

7  And  Moses  called  unto 
Joshua,  and  said  unto  him  in  the 


167 


siglit  of  all  Israel,  Be  strong  and 
ot  a  good  courage :  for  thou  must 
go  with  this  people  unto  the  land 
which  the  Lord  hath  sworn  unto 
their>fathers  to  give  them ;  and 
thou  shalt  cause  them  to  inherit  it. 

14  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Behold,  thy  days  approach 
that  thou  must  die:  call  Joshua, 
and  present  yourselves  iu  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation,  that 
I  may  give  him  a  charge.  And 
Moses  and  Joshua  went,  and  pre- 
sented themselves  in  the  taberna- 
cle of  the  congregation. 

15  And  the  Lord  appeared  in  the 
tabernacle  in  a  pillar  of  a  cloud: 
and  the  pillar  of  the  cloud  stood 
over  the  door  of  the  tabernacle. 

16  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  Behold,  thou  shalt  sleep 
with  thy  fathers ;  and  this  people 
will  rise  up,  and  go  a  whoring 
after  the  gods  of  the  strangers 
of  the  land,  whither  they  go  to 
be  among  them,  and  will  forsake 
me,  and  break  my  covenant  which 
I  have  made  with  them. 

17  Then  my  anger  shall  be  kin- 
dled against  them  in  that  day,  and 
I  will  forsake  them,  and  I  will 
hide  my  face  from  them,  and  they 
shall  be  devoured,  and  many  evils 
and  troublesshall  befall  them ;  so 
that  they  will  say  in  that  day.  Are 
not  these  evils  come  upon  us,  be- 
cause our  God  is  not  among  us? 

De.  32—48  And  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Moses  that  selfsame  day,  say- 
ing, 

49  Get  thee  up  into  this  moun- 
tain Abarim,  luito  mount  Nebo, 
which  is  in  the  land  of  Moab,  that 
is  over  against  Jericho;  and  be- 
hold the  land  of  Canaan,  which  I 

f:ive  unto  the  children  of  Israel 
or  a  possession: 

50  And  die  in  the  mount  whither 
thou  goest  up,  and  be  gathered 
unto  thy  people;  as  Aaron  thy 
brother  died  in  mount  Hor,  and 
was  gathered  unto  his  people: 
Nu.  33.  38,  39,  p.  357. 

51  Because  ye  trespassed  against 
me  among  the  children  of  Israel 
at  the  waters  of  Meribah-Kadesh, 
ill  the  wilderness  of  Zin ;  because 
ye  sanctified  me  not  in  the  midst 
of  the  children  of  Israel.  Nu.  20. 
12, 13,  p.  303. 

52  Yet  thou  shalt  see  the  land 
before  thee ;  but  thou  shalt  not  go 
thither  unto  the  land  which  I 
give  the  children  Qf  Israel. 


De.  34—1  And  Moses  went  up 
from  the  plains  of  Moab  unto  the 
mountain  of  Nebo,  to  the  top  of 
Pisgah,  that  is  over  against  Jeri- 
cho: and  the  Lord  shewed  him 
all  the  land  of  Gilead,  unto  Dan, 

2  And  all  Naphtali,  and  the  land 
of  Ephraim,  and  Manasseh,  and 
all  the  land  of  Judah,  unto  the 
utmost  sea, 

3  And  the  south,  and  the  plain 
of  the  valley  of  Jericho,  the  city 
of  palm  trees,  unto  Zoar. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  imto  him. 
This  is  the  land  which  I  sware 
unto  Abraham,  unto  Isaac,  and 
imto  Jacob,  saying,  I  will  give  it 
unto  thy  seed :  I  have  caused  thee 
to  see  it  with  thine  eyes,  but  thou 
shalt  not  go  over  thither. 

5  So  Moses  the  servant  of  the 
Lord  died  there  in  the  land  of 
Moab,  according  to  the  word  of 
the  Lord. 

6  And  he  buried  him  in  a  valley 
in  the  land  of  Moab,  over  against 
Beth-peor:  but  no  man  knoweth 
of  his  sepulchre  unto  this  day. 

7  And  Moses  was  a  hundred 
and  twenty  years  old  when  he 
died:  his  eye  was  not  dim,  nor 
his  natural  force  abated. 

8  And  the  children  of  Israel 
wept  for  Moses  in  the  plains  of 
Moab  thu'ty  days:  so  the  days  of 
weeping  and  mourning  for  Moses 
were  ended. 

9  And  Joshua  was  full  of  the 
spirit  of  wisdom ;  for  Moses  had 
laid  his  hands  upon  him :  and  the 
children  of  Israel  hearkened  unto 
him,  and  did  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Moses.    Nu.  27,  p.  125. 

10  And  there  arose  not  a  prophet 
since  in  Israel  like  mito  Moses, 
whom  the  Lord  knew  face  to 
face, 

11  In  all  the  signs  and  the  won- 
ders which  the  Lord  sent  him 
to  do  in  the  land  of  Egypt,  to  Pha- 
raoh, and  to  all  his  servants,  and 
to  all  his  land, 

12  And  in  all  that  mighty  hand, 
and  in  all  the  great  terror  which 
Moses  shewed  in  the  sight  of  all 
Israel. 

Nu.  33—50  And  the  Lord  had 
spoken  unto  Moses  in  the  plains  of 
Moab  by  Jordan  near  Jericho, 
saying. 

51  bpeak  unto  the  children  of 
Israel,  and  say  mito  them.  When 
ye  are  passed  over  Jordan  into  the 
laud  01  Canaan : 


168 


52  Then  ye  shall  drive  out  all 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land  fi-om 
before  you,  and  destroy  all  their 
pictui-es,  and  destroy  all  their 
molten  images,  and  quite  pluck 
down  all  their  high  places: 

53  And  ye  shall  dispossess  the 
inhabitants  of  the  land,  and 
dwell  therein:  for  1  have  given 
you  the  land  to  possess  it. 

54  And  ye  shall  divide  the  land 
by  lot  for  an  inheritance  among 
your  families ;  and  to  the  more  ye 
shall  give  the  more  inheritance, 
and  to  the  fewer  ye  shall  give 
the  less  inheritance:  every  man's 
inheritance  shall  be  in  the  place 
where  his  lot  falleth;  according 
to  the  tribes  of  your  fathers  ye 
shall  inherit. 

55  But  if  ye  will  not  drive  out 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land  from 
before  you;  then  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  those  which  ye  let 
remain  of  them  shall  be  pricks  in 
ypur  eyes,  and  thorns  in  your 
sides,  and  shall  vex  you  in  the 
land  wherein  ye  dwell. 

56  Moreover  it  shall  come  to 

fass,  that  I  shall  do  unto  you,  as 
thought  to  do  unto  them. 

Joshua,  at  the  Lord's  command, 
led  the  children  of  Israel  into  the 
Promised  Land. 

Jos.  1—1  Now  after  the  death  of 
Moses  the  servant  of  the  Lord,  it 
came  to  pass  that  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun,  Mo- 
ses' minister,  sayiug, 

2  Moses  my  servant  is  dead; 
now  therefore  arise,  go  over  this 
Jordan,  thou,  and  all  this  people, 
unto  the  land  which  I  do  give  to 
them,  even  to  the  children  of 
Israel. 

3  Every  place  that  the  sole  of 
your  foot  shall  tread  upon,  that 
have  I  given  unto  you,  as  I  said 
tmto  Moses. 

4  From  the  wilderness  and  this 
Lebanon  even  unto  the  great  riv- 
er, the  river  Euphrates,  all  the 
land  of  the  Hittites,  and  unto  the 
great  sea  toward  the  going  down 
of  the  sun,  shall  be  your  coast. 

5  There  shall  not  any  man  be 
able  to  stand  before  thee  all  the 
days  of  thy  life:  as  I  was  with 
Moses,  so  I  will  be  with  thee:  I 
will  not  fail  thee,  nor  forsake 
thee. 

6  Be  strong  and  of  a  good  cour- 
age :    for  imto  this  people  shalt  I 


thou  divide  for  an  inheritance 
the  land,  which  I  sware  unto 
their  fathers  to  give  them. 

10  Then  Joshua  commanded  the 
officers  of  the  people,  saying. 

11  Pass  through  the  host,  and 
command  the  people,  saying. 
Prepare  you  victuals;  for  within 
three  days  ye  shall  pass  over  this 
Jordan,  to  go  in  to  possess  the 
land,  which  the  Lord  your  God 
giveth  you  to  possess  it. 

12  And  to  the  Reubenites,  and 
to  the  Gadites.  and  to  half  the 
tribe  of  Manasseh,  spake  Joshua, 
saying, 

13  Remember  the  word  which 
Moses  the  servant  of  the  Lord 
commanded  you,  saying.  The 
Lord  your  God  hath  given  you 
rest,  and  hath  given  you  this 
land. 

14  Your  wives,  your  little  ones, 
and  your  cattle,  shall  remain  in 
the  land  wliich  Moses  gave  vou 
on  this  side  Jordan ;  but  ye  shall 
pass  before  your  brethren  armed, 
all  the  mighty  men  of  valour, 
and  help  them ; 

15  Until  the  Lord  have  given 
your  brethren  rest,  as  he  hath 
given  you,  and  they  also  have 
possessed  the  land  which  the 
Lord  your  God  giveth  them :  then 
ye  shall  return  unto  the  land  of 
your  possession,  and  enjoy  it, 
which  Moses  the  Lord's  servant 
gave  you  on  this  side  Jordan 
toward  the  sunrising. 

16  And  they  answered  Joshua, 
saying.  All  that  thou  command- 
est  us  we  will  do,  and  wliitherso- 
ever  thou  sendest  us,  we  will  go. 

Jos.  3—7  And  the  Lord  said 
unto  Joshua,  This  day  will  I  be- 
gin to  magnify  thee  in  the  sight 
of  all  Israel,  that  they  may  know 
that,  as  I  was  with  Moses,  so  I 
will  be  with  thee. 

8  And  thou  shalt  command  the 
priests  that  bear  the  ark  of  the 
covenant,  saying.  When  ye  are 
come  to  the  brmk  of  the  water 
of  Jordan,  ye  shall  stand  still  in 
Jordan. 

9  And  Joshua  said  unto  the 
children  of  Israel,  Come  hither, 
and  hear  the  words  of  the  Lord 
your  God. 

10  And  Joshua  said.  Hereby  ye 
shall  know  that  the  living:  God  is 
among  you,  and  that  he  will  with- 
out fail  drive  out  from  before  you 
the  Canaanites,  and  the  Hittites, 


169 


and  the  Hivites,  and  the  Perizzit- 
es,  and  the  Girgashites,  and  the 
Amorites,  and  the  Jebusites. 

11  Behold,  the  ark  of  the  cove- 
nant of  the  Lord  of  all  the  earth 
passeth  over  before  you  into  Jor- 
dan. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  as 
soon  as  the  soles  of  the  feet  of  tlie 

Eriests  tliat  bear  the  ark  of  the 
,ORD,  the  Lord  of  all  the  earth, 
shall  rest  in  the  waters  of  Jordan, 
that  the  waters  of  Jordan  shall  be 
cut  off  from,  the  waters  that  come 
down  from  above ;  and  they  shall 
stand  upon  a  heap. 

14  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  people  removed  from  their 
tents,  to  pass  over  Jordan,  and  the 
priests  bearing  the  ark  of  the  cove- 
nant before  the  people ; 

15  And  as  they  that  bare  the  ark 
were  come  unto  Jordan,  and  the 
feet  of  the  priests  that  bear  the 
ark  were  dipped  in  the  brim  of  the 
water,  (for  Jordan  overtloweth  all 
his  banks  all  the  time  of  harvest,) 

16  That  the  waters  which  came 
down  from  above  stood  and  rose 
up  upon  a  heap  very  far  from  the 
city  Adam,  that  is  beside  Zare- 
tan;  and  those  that  came  down 
toward  the  sea  of  the  plain,  even 
the  salt  sea,  failed,  and  were  cut 
off:  and  the  people  passed  over 
right  against  Jericho. 

17  And  the  priests  that  bare  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
stood  firm  on  dry  ground  in  the 
mid.st  of  Jordan,  and  all  the  Is- 
raelites passed  over  on  dry  ground, 
until  all  the  people  were  passed 
clean  over  Jordan. 

Jos.  4—18  And  when  the  priests 
that  bare  the  ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  were  come  up  out  of 
the  midst  of  Jordan,  and  the  .soles 
of  the  priests'  feet  were  lifted  up 
unto  the  dry  land,  the  waters  of 
Jordan  returned  unto  their  place, 
and  flowed  over  all  his  banks,  as 
they  did  before. 

19  And  the  people  came  up  out 
of  Jordan  on  the  tenth  day  of  the 
first  month,  and  encamped  in  Gil- 
gal,  in  the  east  border  of  Jericho. 

Jos.  5—10  And  the  children  of  Is- 
rael encamped  in  Gilgal,  and  kept 
the  passover  on  the  fourteenth 
day  of  the  month  at  even  in  the 
plains  of  Jericho. 

11  And  they  did  eat  of  the  old 
corn  of  the  land  on  the  morrow 
after    the   passover,   unleavened 


cakes,  and  parched   com  in  the 
selfsame  day. 

12  And  the  marma  ceased  on 
the  morrow  after  they  had  eaten 
of  the  old  corn  of  the  land.  p.  492. 

Redemption  of  Land  and  Houses. 
See  also  Le.  27. 17,  Ru.  4.  4.  and  Je. 
32.  6-12. 

Le.  25—23  The  land  shall  not  be 
sold  forever:  for  the  land  is  mine ; 
for  ye  are  strangers  and  sojourners 
with  me. 

'24  And  in  all  the  land  of  your 
possession  ye  shall  grant  a  re- 
demption for  the  land. 

25  If  thy  brother  be  poor,  and 
hath  sold  away  some  of  his  pos- 
session, and  if  any  of  his  kin  come 
to  i-edeem  it,  then  shall  he  redeem 
that  which  his  brother  sold. 

26  And  if  the  man  have  none  to 
redeem  it,  and  himself  be  able  to 
redeem  it , 

27  Then  let  him  cotmt  the  years 
of  the  sale  thereof,  and  restore  the 
overplus  unto  the  man  to  whom 
he  sold  it;  that  he  may  return 
unto  his  possession. 

28  But  if  he  be  not  able  to  re- 
store it  to  him,  then  that  which 
is  sold  shall  remain  in  the  hand  of 
him  that  hath  bought  it  until  the 
year  of  jubilee:  and  in  the  jubilee 
It  shall  go  out,  and  he  shall  return 
tmto  his  possession. 

29  And  if  a  man  sell  a  dwelling- 
house  in  a  walled  city,  then  he 
may  redeem  it  within  a  whole  year 
after  it  is  sold. 

30  And  if  it  be  not  redeemed 
within  the  space  of  a  full  year,then 
the  house  that  is  in  the  walled 
city  shall  be  established  forever  to 
him  that  bought  it  throughout  his 
generations:  it  shall  not  go  out  in 
the  jubilee. 

31  But  the  houses  of  the  villages 
which  have  no  wall  round  about 
them  shall  be  counted  as  the  fields  , 
of  the  country:  they  may  be  re- 
deemed, and  they  shall  go  out  in 
the  jubilee. 

32  Notwithstanding  the  cities  of 
the  Levites,  and  the  nouses  of  the 
cities  of  their  possession,  may  the 
Levites  redeem  at  any  time. 

33  And  if  a  man  purchase  of  the 
Levites,  then  the  house  that  was 
sold,  and  the  city  of  his  possession, 
shall  go  out  in  the  year  of  jubilee : 
for  the  houses  of  the  cities  of  the 
Levites  are  their  possession  among 
the  children  of  Israel. 


170 


34  But  the  field  of  the  subm-hs  of 
their  cities  may  not  be  sold ;  for  it 
is  their  perpetual  possession. 

Is.  34—7  And  then-  land  shall  be 
soaked  with  blood,  and  their  dust 
made  fat  with  fatness. 

8  For  it  is  the  day  of  the  Lord  s 
vengeance,  and  the  year  of  recom- 
penses for  the  controversy  of  Zion. 

9  And  the  streams  thereof  shall 
be  turned  into  pitch,  and  the  dust 
thereof  into  brimstone,  and  the 
land  thereof  shall  become  burn- 
ing pitch.  . 

10  it  shall  not  be  quenched  night 
nor  day ;  the  smoke  thereof  shall 
go  up  for  ever:  from  generation 
to  generation  it  shall  lie  waste; 
none  shall  pass  through  it  for  ever 
and  ever.  ,      ,      ,    . 

Eze.  14—13  When  the  land  sm- 
neth  against  me  by  trespassing 
grievously,  then  will  I  stretch  out 
mine  hand  upon  it,  and  will  break 
the  staff  of  the  bread  thereof,  and 
will  send  famioe  upon  it,  and  will 
cut  off  man  and  beast  from  it : 

14  Though  these  tlu-ee  men, 
Noah,  Daniel,  and  Job,  were  in 
it,  they  should  deliver  but  their 
own  souls  by  their  righteousness, 
saith  the  Lord  God. 

Am.  7—10  Amaziah  the  priest  of 
Beth-el  sent  to  Jeroboam  kiug  of 
Israel,  saying,  Amos  hath  con- 
spired against  thee  in  the  midst 
of  the  house  of  Israel :  the  land  is 
not  able  to  bear  all  his  words. 

Job  10—22  A  land  of  darkness,  as 
darkness  itself ;  and  of  the  shadow 
of  death,    p.  384. 

Ps.  49—11  Their  uiward  thought 
is  that  their  houses  shall  continue 
for  ever,  and  their  dwelling-places 
to  all  generations ;  they  call  their 
lands  after  their  own  names. 

Ps.  63—1  Thou  art  my  God ;  early 
will  I  seek  thee:  in  a  dry  and 
thirsty  land,  where  no  water  is. 

Pro.  12—11  He  that  tilleth  his 
land  shall  be  satisfied  with  bread : 
but  he  that  f  olloweth  vain  persons 
is  void  of  understanding. 

Pro.  28—19  He  that  tilleth  his 
land  shall  have  plenty  of  bread: 
but  he  that  foUoweth  after  vara 
persons  shall  have  poverty 
enough, 

Je.  4—20  Destruction  upon  de- 
struction is  cried;  for  the  whole 
land  is  spoiled :  suddenly  are  my 
tents  spoiled,  and  my  curtains  in 
a  moment. 

Is.  2—7  Their  land  also  is  full  of 


silver  and  goldj  neither  is  there

I  love  you  not?  God  knoweth.

though  the  more  abundantly  1 
love  you.  the  less  I  be  loved. 

1  Th.  4— 9  But  as  touching  broth- 
erly love  ye  need  not  that  I  write 
unto  you:  for  ye  yourselves  are 
taught  of  God  to  love  one  another. 

I  Jno.  4—7  Beloved,  let  us  love 
one  another:  for  love  is  of  God; 
and  every  one  that  loveth  is  born 
of  God,  and  knoweth  God. 

8  He  that  loveth  not,  knoweth 
not  God :  for  God  is  love. 

9  In  this  was  manifested  the 
love  of  God  toward  us.  because 
that  God  sent  his  only  begotten 
Son  into  the  world,  that  we  might 
live  through  him. 

10  Herein  is  love,  not  that  we 
loved  God.  but  that  he  loved  us, 
and  sent  his  Son  to  be  the  propi- 
tiation for  our  sins. 

II  Beloved,  if  God  so  loved  us, 
we  ought  also  to  love  one  another. 


12  Neman  hath  seen  God  at  any 
time.  If  we  love  one  another,  God 
dwelleth  in  us,  and  his  love  is 
perfected  in  us. 

15  Whosoever  shall  confess  that 
Jesus  is  the  Sou  of  God.  God 
dwelleth  m  him,  and  he  in  God. 

16  And  we  have  known  and  be- 
lieved the  love  that  God  hath  to 
us.  God  is  love;  and  he  that 
dwelleth  in  love  dwelleth  in  God, 
and  God  in  him.    , 

17  Herein  is  our  love  made  per- 
fect, that  we  may  have  boldness 
in  the  day  of  judgment:  because 
as  he  is,  so  are  we  in  this  world. 

18  There  is  no  fear  in  love ;  but 
perfect  love  casteth  out  fear:  be- 
cause fear  hath  torment.  He  that 
feareth  is  not  made  perfect  in  love» 

19  We  love  him,  because  he  first 
loved  us.  Fi 

2  Jno.  1—5  Now  I  beseech  thee, 
lady,  not  as  though  I  wrote  a  new 
commandment  unto  thee,  but 
that  which  we  had  from  the  be- 
ginning, that  we  love  one  another. 

Re.  3—19  As  many  as  I  love,  I  re- 
buke and  chasten:  be  zealous 
therefore,  and  repent.

is  better  than  wine. 

3  Because  of  the  savour  of  thy 
good  ointments  thy  name  is  as 
ointment  poured  forth,  therefore 
do  the  virgins  love  thee. 

4  Draw  me,  we  will  run  after 
thee :  the  Kmg  hath  brought  me 
into  his  chambers:  we  will  be 
glad  and  rejoice  in  thee,  we  will 
remember  thy  love  more  than 
wine :  the  upright  love  thee. 

7  Tell  me,  O  thou  whom  my 
soul  loveth,  where  thou  feedest, 
where  thou  makest  thy  flock  to 
rest  at  noon :  for  why  should  I  be 
as  one  that  tumeth  aside  by  the 
flocks  of  thy  companions?

fairest  among  women,  go  thy  way 
forth  by  the  footsteps  of  theflock, 
and  feed  thy  kids  beside  the

loved among  the  sons.  I  sat  down 
xmder  his  shadow  with  great  de- 
light, and  his  fruit  was  sweet  to

over  me  was  love.

me  with  apples:  for  J  am  sick  of

behind  our  wall,  he  looketh  forth 
at  the  windows,  shewing  himself

brought  him  into  my  mother's

locks:  thv  hair  is  as  a  flock  of

GUead.  „    ,      ^ 

2  Thy  teeth  are  like  a  flock  of 
sheep  that  are  even  shorn,  which 
came  up  from  the  washiiig; 
whereof  every  one  bear  twins, 
and  none  is  barren  among  them. 

3  Thv  lips  are  like  a  thread  of 
scarlet,  ana  thy  speech  is  comely: 
thy  temples  are  like  a  piece  of  a 
pomegranate  within  thy  locks.

David  "builded  for  an  ai-moury, 
whereon  there  hang  a  thousand 
bucklers,  all  shields  of  mighty 
men. 

5  Thy  two  breasts  are  like  two 
voung  roes  that  are  twins,  which 
ieed  among  the  lilies. 

6  Until  the  day  break,  and  the 
shadows  flee  away,  I  will  get  me 
to  the  motmtains  of  myrrh,  and 
to  the  hills  of  frankincense. 

7  Thou  art  all  fair,  my  love; 
there  is  no  spot  in  thee. 

8  Come  with  me  from  Lebanon, 
mv  spouse,  with  me  from  Leba-

from  the  top  of  Shenir  and  Her- 
mon,  from  the  lions'  dens,  fi-om 
the  mountains  of  the  leopards.

my  sister,  my  spouse;  thou  hast 
ravished   my  heart  with  one  of

is  thy  love  than  wine!  and  the

SS.  .5—1  I  am  come  into  my  gar- 
den, my  sister,  my  srKju.se :  I  have 
fathered  my  myrrh  with  my  spice : 
have  eaten  my  honeycomb  with 
my  honey;  I  havednmk  my  wine 
with  my  milk:  eat,  O  friends: 
drink,  yea,  drink  abundantly,  O

21 1  sleep,  but  my  heart  waketh : 
it  is  the  voice  of  rny  beloved  that 
knocketh,  saying,  dpen  to  me,  my 
sister,  my  love,  my  dove,  my  un- 
defiled:  for  my  head  is  filled  with 
dew,  and  my  locks  with  the  drops 
of  the  night,    p.  111. 

4  My  beloved  put  in  his  hand  by 
the  hole  of  the  door,  and  my  bow- 
els were  moved  for  him. 

5  I  rose  up  to  open  to  my  belov- 
ed ;  and  my  hands  dropj:>ed  with 
mjTTh,  and  my  fingers  wnth  sweet 
smelling  myrrh,  upon  the  handles 
of  the  lock. 

6  I  opened  to  my  beloved ;  but 
mv  beloved  had  withdrawn  him- 
self, and  was  gone :  mv  .soul  failed 
when  he  spake:  I  sought  him, 
but  I  could  not  find  him ;  1  called 
him,  but  he  gave  me  no  answer. 

7  The  watchmen  that  went  about 
the  city  found  me,  they  smote  me, 
they  wounded  me:  the  keepers  of 
the  walls  took  away  my  vail  from 
me. 

8  I  charge  you,  0  daughters  of 
Jerusalem,  if  ye  find  my  beloved, 
that  ye  tell  him,  that  I  am  sick  of 
love. 

9  *J,  What  is  thy  beloved  more 
than  another  beloved,  O  thou  fair- 
est among  women?  what  is  thy 
beloved  more  than  another  belov- 
ed, that  thou  do.st  so  charge  us? 

10  My  beloved  is  white  and  rud- 
dy, the  chiefest  among  ten  thou- 
sand. 

11  His  head  is  as  the  most  fine 
gold;  his  locks  are  bushy,  and 
black  as  a  raven: 

12  His  eyes  are  as  the  eyes  of 
doves  by  the  rivers  of  waters, 
washed  with  milk,  and  fitly  set : 


13  His  cheeks  are  as  a  bed  of 
spices,  as  sweet  flowers:  his  lips 
like  lilies,  dropping  sweet  smell- 
ing m^Trh. 

u  Hi.s  hands  are  as  gold  rings 
set  with  the  beryl:  his  nellv  is  as 
bright  ivory  overlaid  with  sap- 
phires. 

irj  His  legs  are  as  pillars  of  mar- 
ble, set  upon  sockets  of  fine  gold : 
his  countenance  is  as  Lebanon, 
excellent  as  the  cedars: 

16  His  mouth  is  most  sweet: 
yea,  he  is  altogether  lovely.  This 
IS  my  beloved,  and  this  is  my 
friend,  O  daughters  of  Jerasalem. 

SS.  6—1  Whither  is  thy  beloved 
gone.  O  thou  fairest  among  wo- 
men? whither  is  thy  beloved 
turned  aside?  that  we  may  seek 
him  with  thee. 

2  My  beloved  is  gone  down  into 
his  garden,  to  the  beds  of  spices, 
to  feed  in  the  gardens,  and  to 
gather  lilies. 

3 1  am  my  beloved's,  and  my  be- 
loved is  mine :  he  f eedeth  among 
the  lilies. 

4  T  Thou  art  beautiful,  O  my 
love, comely  asJeru.salem,  terrible 
as  an  army  with  banners. 

6  Turn  away  thine  eyes  from 
me,  for  they  have  overcome  me: 
thy  hair  is  as  a  flock  of  goats  that 
appear  from  Gilead : 

6  Thy  teeth  are  as  a  flock  of 
sheep  which  go  up  from  the  wash- 
ing, whereof  every  one  beareth 
twins,  and  there  is  not  one  harren 
among  them. 

7  As  a  piece  of  a  pomegranate 
are  thy  temples  within  thy  locks. 

8  There  are  threescore  queens, 
and  fourscore  concubines,  and  vir- 
gins without  number. 

9  My  dove,  my  undefiled  is  hut 
one :  she  is  the  only  one  of  her 
mother,  she  is  the  choice  one  of 
her  that  bare  her.  The  daughters 
saw  her,  and  blessed  her:  yea, 
the  queens  and  the  concubines, 
and  they  praised  her. 

10^  Who  is  she  that  looketh  forth 
as  the  morning,  fair  as  the  moon, 
clear  as  the  sun,  and  terrible  as 
an  army  with  banners? 

11  I  went  down  into  the  garden 
of  nuts  to  see  the  fruits  of  the  val- 
ley, and  to  see  whether  the  vine 
flourished,  and  the  pomegranates 
budded. 

12  Or  ever  I  was  aware,  my  soul 
made  me  like  the  chariots  of  Am- 
mi-nadib.

13  Return,  return,  O  Shulamite; 
Tetvirn,  return,  that  we  may  look 
upon  thee.  What  will  ye  see  in

company  of  two  armies. 

SS.  7—1  How  beautiful  are  thy 
feet  with  shoes,  O  prmce's  daugh- 
ter! the  joints  of  thy  thighs  are 
like  jewels,  the  work  of  the  hands 
of  a  cunning  workman. 

2  Thy  navel  is  like  a  round  gob- 
let, which  wanteth  not  liquor: 
thy  belly  is  like  a  heap  of  wheat 
set  about  with  lilies. 

3  Thy  two  breasts  are  like  two 
young  roes  that  are  twins. 

4  Thy  neck  is  as  a  tower  of  ivo- 
ry ;  thine  eyes  like  the  fishpools  in 
Heshbon,  by  the  gate  of  Bath-rab- 
bim :  thy  nose  is  as  the  lower  of 
1-ebanon  which  looketh  toward 
Damascus. 

5  Thine  head  upon  thee  is  like 
•Canmel.and  the  hair  of  thine  head 

like  purijle;  the  King  is  held  in 
the  galleries. 

6  How  fan-  and  how  pleasant  art 
vthou,  O  love,  for  delights! 

?  This  thy  statm-e  is  like  to  a 
palm  tree,  and  thy  breasts  to  clus- 
ters of  ^-apes. 

8  I  said,  I  will  go  up  to  the  palm 
tree,  I  will  take  hold  of  the  boughs 
thereof:  now  also  thy  breasts  shall 
be  as  clusters  of  the  vine,  and  the 
smell  of  thy  nose  like  apples: 

9  And  the  roof  of  thy  mouth  like 
the  best  wine  for  my  beloved,  that 
goeth  down  sweetly,  causing  the 
lips  of  those  that  are  asleep  to 
speak. 

10.  IT  I  am  my  beloved's,  and  his 
desire  is  toward  me. 

11  Come,  my  beloved,  let  us  go 
forth  into  the  tield ;  let  us  lodge 
in  the  villages. 

.12  Let  us  get  up  early  to  the 
vineyards;  let  us  see  if  the  vine 
iiourish,whether  the  tender  grape 
appear,  and  the  pomegranates 
bud  forth:  there  will  I  give  thee 
my  loves. 

13  The  mandrakes  give  a  smell, 
and  at  our  gates  are  all  manner 
of  pleasant  fruits,  new  and  old, 
which  I  have  laid  up  for  thee,  O 
my  beloved. 

SS.  8—1  O  that  thou  wert  as  my 
brother,  that  sucked  the  breasts 
of  my  mother!  when  I  should  find 
thee  without,  I  would  kiss  thee : 
yea.  I  should  not  be  despised. 

2  I  would  lead  thee,  and  bring 
thee  uito  my  mother's  house,  who 
would  instruct  me:  I  would  cause  I 


thee  to  drink  of  spiced  wine  of 
the  juice  of  my  pomegranate. 

3  His  left  hand  should  be  under 
my  head,  and  his  right  hand 
should  embrace  me. 

4  1  charge  you,  O  daughters  of 
Jerusalem,  that  ye  stii-  not  up,  nor 
awake  my  love,  until  he  please. 

5  Who  IS  this  that  cometh  up 
Irom  the  wilderness,  leaning  upon 
her  beloved?  I  raised  thee  up  im- 
der  the  apple  tree :  there  thy  moth- 
er brought  thee  forth ;  there  she 
brought  thee  forth  that  bare  thee. 

6  IT  Set  me  as  a  seal  upon  thine 
heart,  as  a  seal  upon  thine  arm: 
for  loye  is  strong  as  death;  jeal- 
ousy IS  ciaiel  as  the  grave:  the 
coals,thereofarecoalsoffire,which 
hath  a  most  vehement  flame. 

7  Many  waters  cannot  quench 
love,  neither  can  the  floods  drown 
It:  if  a  man  would  give  all  the 
substance  of  his  hou.se  for  love,  it 
would  utterly  be  contemned. 

8  11  We  have  a  little  sister,  and 
she  hath  no  breasts:  what  shall 
we  do  for  our  sister  in  the  day 
when  she  shall  be  spoken  for? 

9  If  she  be  a  wall,  we  will  build 
upon  her  a  palace  of  silver:  and  if 
she  be  a  door,  we  will  inclose  her 
with  boards  of  cedar. 

.10  I  am  a  wall,  and  my  breasts 
like  towers:  then  was  I  in  his  eyes 
as  one  that  found  favour,    p.  298. 

13  Thou  that  dwellest  in  the  gar- 
dens, the  companions  hearken  to 
thy  voice:  cause  me  to  hear  it. 

14  IT  Make  haste,  my  beloved, 
and  be  thou  like  to  a  roe  or  to  a 
young  hart  upon  the  mountains 
of  spices.

there  be  lights  in  the  firmament 
ot  the  heaven  to  divide  the  day 
from,  the  night;  and  let  them  be 
for  signs,  and  for  seasons,  and  for

15  And  let  them  be  for  lights  in 
the  hrmament  of  the  heaven  to 
give  light  upon  the  earth:  and  it 
was  so. 

16  And   God   made  two  great 
lights;  the  greater  light  to  rule     ' 
the  day,  and  the  lesser  light  to 
rule  the  night :  he  made  the  stai-s     ,

ament of  the  lieavento  give  liglit 
upon  tlie  eartli, 

18  Aud  to  rule  over  the  day  and 
over  the  night,  and  to  divide  tlie 
light  from  the  darkness:  and  God 
saw  that  it  was  good. 

19  Aud  the  evening  aud  the 
inorniug  were  the  fouith  day. 

2Sa.23— 1  Aud  he  shall  be  as  the 
light  of  the  morning,  when  the 
sun  rLseth,  even  a  morning  with- 
out clouds;  as  the  tender  grass 
springing  out  of  tlie  earth  by  clear 
shining  after  rain. 

Job  3—20  Wherefore  is  light 
given  to  him  that  is  in  misery, 
aud  life  unto  the  bitter  m  soul? 

23  Why  is  li^lit  given  to  a  man 
whose  way  is  hid  and  whom  God 
hath  hedged  in?    p.  383. 

Job  18—5  Yea,  the  light  of  the 
wicked  shall  be  put  out,  and  the 
spark  of  his  fire  shall  not  shine. 

6  The  light  shall  be  dark  in  his 
tabernacle,  and  his  caudle  shall 
be  put  out  with  him. 

18  He  shall  be  driven  from  light 
into  darkness,  and  chased  out  of 
the  world. 

Job  30—26  When  I  looked  for 
good,  then  evil  came  luito  me: 
and  when  I  waited  for  light,  there 
came  darkness. 

Ec.11-7  Truly  the  li^ht  is  sweet, 
and  a  pleasant  thing  it  is  for  the 
eyes  to  behold  the  sim.    p.  195. 

Is.  60—1  Arise,  shine;  for  thy 
light  is  come,  and  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  is  risen  upon  thee. 

2  For,  behold,  the  darkness  shall 
cover  the  earth,  and  gross  dark- 
ness the  people:  but  the  Lord 
shall  arise  upon  thee,  and  his 
glory  shall  be  seen  upon  thee. 

3  And  the  Gentiles  shall  come 
to  thy  light,  aud  kings  to  the 
brightness  of  thy  rising. 

19  1  he  sun  shall  be  no  more  thy 
light  by  day;  neither  for  bright- 
uess  shall  the  moon  give  light 
imto  thee :  but  the  Lord  shall  be 
unto  thee  an  everlasting  light, 
and  thy  God  thy  glory. 

20  Thy  sun  shall  no  more  go 
down;  neither  shall  thy  moon 
withdraw  itself:  for  the  Lord 
shall  be  thine  everlasting  light, 
aud  the  days  of  thy  mourning 
shall  be  ended. 

Mat.  5—14  Ye  are  the  light  of  the 
world.  A  city  that  is  set  on  a  hill 
cannot  be  hid. 

15  Neither  do  men  light  a  can- 


dle, aud  put  it  under  a  bushel,  but 
on  a  candlestick;  and  it  giveth 
light  unto  all  that  are  iu  the 
house. 

16  Let  youl"  light  so  .shine  before 
men,  that  they  may  see  your  good 
works,  and  glorify  your  Father 
which  is  iu  heaven. 

Jno.  3—18  He  that  believeth  on 
him  is  not  condemned:  but  he 
that  believeth  not  is  condemned 
already,  because  he  hath  not  be- 
lieved in  the  name  of  the  only  be- 
gotten Son  of  God. 

19  And  this  is  the  condemnation, 
that  light  is  come  into  the  world, 
and  men  loved  darkness  rather 
than  li^ht,  because  their  deeds 
were  evil. 

20  For  every  one  that  doeth  evil 
hateth  the  light,  neither  cometh 
to  the  light,  lest  his  deeds  should 
be  reproved. 

21  But  he  that  doeth  truth  com- 
eth to  the  light,  that  his  deeds 
may  be  made  manifest,  that  they 
are  wrought  in  God. 

Jno.  5—35  He  was  a  burning  and 
a  shining  light:  and  ye  were  will- 
ing for  a  season  to  rejoice  in  his 
light. 

Jno.  &— 5  As  long  as  I  am  in  the 
world,  I  am  the  light  of  the  world. 

Juo.  12—35  Then  Jesus  said  unto 
them.  Yet  a  little  while  is  the  light 
with  you.  Walk  while  ye  have 
the  light,  lest  darkness  come  upon 
you :  for  he  that  walketh  in  dark- 
ness knoweth  uot  whither  he 
go  e  til. 

36  While  ye  have  light,  believe 
iu  the  light,  that  ye  may  be  the 
children  of  light,    p.  197. 

44  Jesus  cried  and  said.  He  that 
believeth  on  me,  believeth  not  on 
me,  but  on  him  that  sent  me. 

45  Aud  he  that  seeth  me  seeth 
him  that  sent  me. 

46  1  am  come  a  light  into  the 
world,  that  whosoever  believeth 
on  me  should  not  abide  in  dark- 
ness. 

47  And  if  any  man  hear  my 
words,  and  believe  not,  1  judge 
him  not :  for  I  came  not  to  judge 
the  world,  but  to  save  the  world. 

Ep.  5—8  For  ye  were  sometime 
darkness,  but  now  are  ye  light  in 
the  Lord:  walk  as  children  of 
light. 

1  Th.  5—5  Ye  are  all  the  children 
of  light,  aud  the  children  of  the 
day :  we  are  not  of  the  night,  nor 
of  darkness.

became  a  living  soul.    p.  1«3.

Job  6—11  What  is  my  strength, 
that  I  should  hope?  and  what  is 
mine  end,  that  I  should  prolong 
my  life? 

Job  7—7  O  remember  that  my 
life  is  wmd:  mine  eye  shall  no 
more  see  good. 

8  The  eye  of  him  that  hathseen 
me  shall  see  me  no  more :  thine 
eyes  are  upon  me,  and  I  am  not. 

15  My  soul  chooseth  strangling, 
and  death  rather  than  my  life. 

16  1  loathe  it ;  I  would  not  live 
alway :  let  me  alone ;  for  my  days 
are  vanity,    p.  383. 

Ps.  36—9  For  with  thee  is  the 
fountain  of  life :  in  thy  light  shall 
we  see  light. 

Ps.  133—3  As  the  dew  of  Her- 
mon,  and  as  the  dew  that  de- 
scended upon  the  mountains  of 
Zion:  for  there  the  Lord  com- 
manded the  blessing,  even  life 
for  evermore. 

Pro.  9—11  For  by  me  thy  days 
shall  be  multiplied,  and  the  years 
of  thy  life  shall  be  increased. 

Ec.  2-17  Therefore  1  hated  life ; 
because  the  work  that  is  wrought 
under  the  sun  is  grievous  unto 
me.    p.  193. 

Ec.  9—4  For  to  him  that  is 
joined  to  all  the  living  there  is 
hope:  for  a  living  dog  is  better 
than  a  dead  lion. 

5  For  the  living  know  that  they 
shall  die:  but  the  dead  know  not 
any  thmg,  neither  have  they  any 
more  a  reward;  for  the  memory 
of  them  is  forgotten. 


Mat.  6—25  Therefore  I  say  unto 
you,  Take  no  thought  for  your 
life,  what  ye  shall  eat,  or  what 
ye  shall  drink ;  nor  yet  for  your 
body,  what  ye  shall  put  on.  Is 
not  the  life  more  than  meat,  and 
the  body  than  rainient? 

Mat.  10—39  He  that  findeth  his 
life  shall  lose  it:  and  he  that 
loseth  his  life  for  my  sake  shall 
lind  it. 

Mat.  16—25  For  whosoever  will 
save  his  life  shall  lose  it:  and 
whosoever  will  lose  his  life  for 
my  sake  shall  find  it. 

Mat.  20—28  Even  as  the  Son  of 
man  came  not  to  be  ministered 
unto,  but  to  mmister,  and  to  give 
his  life  a  ransom  for  many. 

Lu.  17—33  Whosoever  shall  seek 
to  save  his  life  shall  lose  it ;  and 
whosoever  shall  lose  his  life  shall 
preserve  it. 

Jno.  3—14  And  as  Moses  lifted 
up  the  serpent  in  the  wilderness, 
even  so  must  the  Son  of  man  be 
lifted  up: 

15  That  whosoever  believeth  in 
him  should  not  perish,  but  have 
eternal  life. 

36  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son 
hath  everlasting  life :  and  he  that 
believeth  not  the  Son  shall  not  see 
life ;  but  the  wrath  of  God  abideth 
on  him. 

Jno.  5—24  Verily,  I  say  unto  you. 
He  that  heareth  my  word,  and 
believeth  on  him  that  sent  me, 
hath  everlastmg  life,  and  shall 
not  come  into  condemnation;  but 
is  passed  from  death  unto  life. 

25  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
The  hour  is  commg,  and  now  is, 
when  the  dead  shall  hear  the 
voiceof  theSonof  God:  and  they 
that  hear  shall  live. 

26  For  as  the  Father  hath  life  in 
himself;  so  hath  he  given  to  the 
Son  to  have  life  in  himself; 

27  And  hath  given  him  author- 
ity to  execute  judgment  also,  be- 
cause he  is  the  Son  of  man. 

Jno.  6—53  Then  Jesus  said  unto 
them.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  Except  ye  eat  the  flesh  of 
the  Son  of  man,  and  drink  his 
blood,  ye  have  no  life  in  you. 

54  Whoso  eateth  my  flesh,  and 
drinketh  my  blood,  hath  eternal 
life;  and  1  will  raise  him  up  at 
the  last  day.    p.  248. 

63  It  is  the  Spirit  that  quicken- 
eth;  the  flesh  profiteth  nothing: 
the  words  that  I  speak  unto  you, 
they  are  spirit,  and  they  are  life.

Jiio.  12—26  He  that  lovetli  his 
life  shall  lose  it;  and  he  that  hat- 
eth  his  life  in  this  world  shall 
keep  it  unto  life  eternal. 

49  The  Father  which  sent  me,  he 
gave  me  a  commandment,  what  I 
should  say. 

50  And  I  know  that  his  com- 
mandment is  life  everlasting. 

Jno.  17—2  As  thou  hast  given  him 
powerover all  flesh,that  he  should 

five  eternal  life  to  as  many  as  thou 
ast  given  him. 

3  And  this  is  life  eternal,  that 
they  might  know  thee  the  only 
true  God,  and  Jesus  Christ,  whom 
thou  hast  sent. 

Ac.  13—48  And  as  many  as  were 
ordained  to  eternal  life  believed, 
p.  137. 

Ro.  14—7  For  none  of  us  livethto 
himself,  and  no  man  dieth  to  him- 
self. 

8  For  whether  we  live,  we  live 
unto  the  Lord;  and  whether  we 
die,  we  die  unto  the  Lord: 
whether  we  live  therefore,  or  die, 
we  are  the  Lord's. 

9 For  to  this  end  Christ  both  died, 
and  rose,  that  he  might  be  Lord 
both  of  the  dead  and  livmg. 

Tit.  2—12  We  should  live  sober- 
ly, righteously,  and  godly,  in  this 
present  world. 

1  Pe.  3—10  For  he  that  will  love 
life,  and  see  good  days,  let  him 
refrain  his  tongue  from  evil,  and 
his  lips  that  they  speak  no  guile. 

I  Jno.  5—10  Hethatbelieveth  on 
the  Son  of  God  hath  the  witness 
in  himself:  he  that  believethnot 
God  hath  made  him  a  liar;  be- 
cause he  believeth  not  the  record 
that  God  gave  of  his  Son. 

II  And  this  is  the  record,  that 
God  hath  given  to  us  eternal  life, 
and  this  life  is  in  his  Son. 

12  He  that  hath  the  Son  hath 
life ;  and  he  that  hath  not  the  Son 
of  God  hath  not  life.

lather. 

9  He  that  tumeth  away  his  ear 
from  hearing  the  law,  even  his 
prayer  shall  be  abomination. 

Da.  6—8  Now,  O  king,  establish 
the  decree,  and  sign  the  writing, 
that  it  be  not  changed,  according 
to  the  law  of  the  Medes  and  Per- 
sians, which  altereth  not.    p.  392. 

Mat.  5—17  Thmk  not  that  I  am 
come  to  destroy  the  law,  or  the 
prophets:  I  am  not  come  to  de- 
stro>\  but  to  fulfil. 

18  For  verily  I  say  mito  you.  Till 
heaven  and  earth  pass,  one  jot  or 
one  tittle  shall  in  no  wise  pass 
from  the  law,  till  all  be  fulfilled. 

Mat.  20—15  Is  it  not  lawful  for 
me  to  do  what  I  will  with  mine 
own?  Is  thine  eye  evil,  because  I 
am  good?    p.  448. 

Lu.  16—16  The  law  and  the  proph- 
ets were  until  John:  since  that 
time  the  kingdom  of  God  is 
preached,  and  every  man  presseth 
into  it. 

17  And  it  is  easier  for  heaven 
and  earth  to  pass,  than  one  tittle 
of  the  law  to  fail. 

Jno.  1—17  For  the  law  was  given 
by  Moses,  but  grace  and  truth 
came  by  Jesus  Christ, 

Ac.  23—2  And  the  high  priest 
Ananias  commanded  them  to 
smite  him  on  the  mouth. 

3  Then  said  Paul  unto  him,  God 
shall  smite  thee,  thou  whited 
wall :  for  sittest  thou  to  judge  me 
after  the  law, and  commandest  me 
to  be  smitten  contrary  to  the  law? 

Ro.  2—12  For  as  many  as  have 
sinned  without  law  shall  also  per- 
ish without  law ;  and  as  many  as 
have  sinned  in  the  law  shall  be 
judged  by  the  law ; 

13  (For  not  the  hearers  of  the 
law  are  just  before  God,  but  the 
doers  of  the  law  shall  be  justified, 

14  For  when  the  Gentiles,  which 
have  not  the  law,  do  by  nature  the 
things  contained  in  the  law, these, 
having  not  the  law,  are  a  law  unto 
themselves: 

15  Which  shew  the  work  of  the 
law  written  in  their  hearts,  their 
conscience  also  bearing  witness, 
and  their  thoughts  the  mean 
while  accusing  or  else  excusing 
one  another;) 

Ro.  7—21  I  find  then  a  law,  that, 
when  1  would  do  good,  evil  is 
present  with  me. 


22  For  I  delight  in  the  law  of 
God  after  the  inward  man : 

23  But  I  see  another  law  in  my 
members,  waiTing  against  the  law 
of  my  mind,  and  bringing  me  into 
captivity  to  the  law  of  sin  which 
is  in  my  members. 

2-1  O  wretched  man  that  I  am! 
who  shall  deliver  me  from  the 
body  of  this  death? 

25  I  thank  God  through  Jesus 
Christ  our  Lord.  So  then  with 
the  mind  I  myself  serve  the  law 
of  God;  but  with  the  flesh  the 
law  of  sin. 

I  Co.  6—1  Dare  any  of  you,  hav- 
ing a  matter  against  another,  go 
to  law  before  the  unjust,  and  not 
before  the  saints?    p.  140. 

Gal.  3—10  As  many  as  are  of  the 
works  of  the  law  are  under  the 
curse :  for  it  is  written.  Cursed  is 
every  one  that  continueth  not  in 
all  things  which  are  written  in 
the  book  of  the  law  to  do  them. 

(De.  27—26  Cursed  be  he  that  con- 
firmeth  not  all  the  words  of  this 
law  to  do  them :  and  all  the  peo- 
ple shall  say,  Amen.) 

II  But  that  no  man  is  justified 
by  the  law  in  the  sight  of  God,  it 
is  evident:  for.  The  just  shall  live 
by  faith. 

12  And  the  law  is  not  of  faith: 
but,  The  man  that  doeth  them 
shall  live  in  them. 

13  Christ  hath  redeemed  us  from 
the  curse  of  the  law,  being  made 
a  curse  for  us:  for  it  is  written, 
Cursed  is  every  one  that  hangeth 
on  a  tree.    De.  21,  p.  129. 

Gal.  &— 14  For  all  the  law  is  ful- 
filled in  one  word,  even  in  this; 
Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighboiu'  as 
thyself. 

1  Ti.  1—7  Desiring  to  be  teach- 
ers of  the  law;  understanding 
neither  what  they  say,  nor  where- 
of they  affirm. 

8  But  we  know  that  the  law  is 
good,  if  a  man  use  it  lawfully. 

9  Knowing  this,  that  the  law  is 
not  made  for  a  righteous  man,  but 
for  the  lawless  and  disobedient. 

Ja.  2—8  If  ye  fulfil  the  royal  law 
according  to  the  Scripture,  Thou 
shalt  love  thy  neighboiu'  as  thy- 
self, ye  do  well: 

9  But  if  ye  have  respect  to  per- 
sons, ye  commit  sin,  and  are  con- 
vinced of  the  law  as  transgressors, 

10  For  whosoever  shall  keep  the 
whole  law,  and  yet  offend  in  one 
point,  he  is  guilty  of  all. 


Lu.  7—30  But  the  Pharisees  and 
lawyers  rejected  the  counsel  of 
God  against  themselves,  being 
not  baptized  in  him. 

Lu.  11—46  Woe  unto  you,  ye 
lawyers!  for  ye  lade  men  with 
burdens  grievous  to  be  borne,  and 
ye  yourselves  touch  not  the  bur- 
dens with  one  of  your  fingers,  p. 
230. 

52  Woe  unto  you,  lawyers!  for 
ye  have  taken  away  the  key  of 
knowledge:  ye  entered  not  in 
yom-selves,  and  them  that  were 
entering  in  ye  hindered. 

Tit.  3—13  Bring  Zenas  the  law- 
yer and  Apollos  on  their  journey 
diligently,  that  nothing  be  want- 
ing unto  them.

Ex.  20—9  Six  days  shalt  thou  la- 
bour, and  do  all  thy  work.    p.  46. 

Pro.  13—11  He  that  gathereth  by 
labour  shall  increase. 

Pro.  14—23  In  all  laboui*  there  is 
profit:  but  the  talk  of  the  lips 
tendeth  only  to  penury. 

Pro.  16—26  He  that  laboureth, 
laboureth  for  himself;  for  his 
mouth  craveth  it  of  him. 

Is.  65—23  They  shall  not  labour  in 
vain,  nor  bring  forth  for  trouble; 
for  they  are  the  seed  of  the 
blessed  of  the  Lord,  and  then- 
offspring  with  them. 

La.  5—5  Our  necks  are  under 
persecution:  we  laboiir,  and  bave 
no  rest. 

1  Co.  4—12  And  labour,  working 
with  our  own  hands:  bemg  re- 
viled, we  bless ;  being  persecuted, 
we  suffer  it. 

I  Th.  2—9  For  ye  remember, 
bretliren,  our  laboiu'  and  travail : 
for  labouring  night  and  day,  be- 
cause we  would  not  be  chargeable 
unto  any  of  you. 

Gal.  4—10  Ye  observe  days,  and 
months,  and  times,  and  years. 

II  I  am  afraid  of  you,  lest  I  have 
bestowed  upon  you  labour  in  vain. 

Lu.  10—7  And  in  the  same  house 
remain,  eatmg  and  drinking  such 
things  as  they  give:  for  the  la- 
bourer is  worthy  of  his  hire.  Go 
not  from  house  to  house.

LAUGH.  LAUGHTER,  etc. 

Le.  19—11  Ye  shall  iiot  steal, 
neither  deal  falsely,  neither  lie 
one  to  another. 

Job  6—28  Now  therefore  be  con- 
tent, look  upon  me ;  for  it  is  evi- 
dent unto  you  if  I  lie. 

Job  11—3  Should  thy  lies  make 
men  hold  their  peace?  and  when 
thoumockest,  shall  no  man  make 
thee  ashamed?    p.  384. 

Ps.  5—6  Thou  shalt  destroy  them 
that  speak  leasmg:  the  Lokd  will 
abhor  the  bloody  and  deceitful 
man. 

Ps.  62—4  They  delight  in  lies: 
they  bless  with  their  mouth,  but 
they  curse  inwardl5'. 

Ps.  78—36  They  did  flatter  him 
with  their  mouth,  and  they  lied 
unto  him  with  their  tongues. 

37  For  their  heart  was  not  right 
with  him. 

Ps.  101—7  He  that  worketh  de- 
ceit shall  not  dwell  within  my 
house:  he  that  telleth  lies  shall 
not  tarry  in  my  sight. 

Ro.  3—4  God  forbid :  yea,  let  God 
be  true,  but  every  man  a  liar;  as 
it  is  written. 

Ps.  116—10  I  believed,  therefore 
have  I  spoken:  I  was  greatly  af- 
flicted: 

11  I  said  in  my  haste.  All  men 
are  liars. 

Ps.  119—69  The  proud  have  forged 
a  lie  against  me :  but  I  will  keep 
thy  precepts  with  my  whole  heart. 

163  I  hate  and  abhor  lying:  but 
thy  law  do  1  love. 

Is.  28—15  For  we  have  made  lies 
oiu'  refuge,  and  under  falsehood 
have  we  hid  ourselves. 

Is.  57—11  And  of  whom  hast 
thou  been  afraid  or  feared,  that 
thou  hast  lied,  and  hast  not  re- 
membered me,  nor  laid  it  to  thy 
heart? 

Is.59— 1  They  trust  in  vanity,  and 
speak  lies.    p.  139. 

Ep.  4—25  Wherefore  putting 
away  lying,  speak  erery  man 
truth  with  liis  neighbour.  Col.  3. 
9,  p.  198. 


Je.  7—8  Behold,  ye  trust  in  lying 
words,  that  cannot  profit. 

Je.  9—3  And  they  bend  their 
tongues  like  their  bow  for  lies: 
but  they  are  not  valiant  for  the 
truth. 

Ho.  7—13  Though  I  have  re- 
deemed them,  yet  they  have 
spoken  lies  against  me. 

Ho.  10—13  Ye  have  ploughed 
wickedne.ss.  ye  have  reaped  iniq- 
uity ;  ye  have  eaten  the  fruit  of  lies. 

Jno.  8 — 44  When  he  speaketh  a 
lie,  he  speaketh  of  his  own :  for  he 
is  a  liar,  and  the  father  of  it.  p.  61. 

2  Th.  2—9  Even  him,  whose  com- 
ing is  after  the  working  of  Satan 
with  all  power  and  signs  and  lying 
wonders, 

10  And  with  all  deceivableness 
of  unrighteou-sness  m  them  that 
perish ;  because  they  received  not 
the  love  of  the  truth,  that  they 
might  be  .saved. 

11  And  for  this  cause  God  shall 
send  them  strong  delusion,  that 
they  should  believe  a  lie: 

12  That  they  all  might  be  damned 
who  believed  not  the  truth. 

Tit.  1—12  One  of  themselves, 
even  a  prophet  of  their  own.  said. 
The  Cretians  are  always  liars,  evil 
beasts,  slow  bellies. 

1  Jno.  2—4  He  that  saith.  I  know 
him.  and  keepeth  not  his  com- 
mandments, is  a  liar,  and  the 
truth  is  not  m  him.. 


Pro.  12-19  The  lip  of  truth  shall 
be  established  for  ever:  but  a 
lying  tongue  is  but  for  a  moment. 

22  Lying  lips  are  abomination  to 
the  Lord:  but  they  that  deal 
truly  are  his  delight. 

Pro.  17—4  A  wicked  doer  givetli 
heed  to  false  lips;  and  a  liar  giv- 
eth  ear  to  a  naughty  tongue. 

28  Even  a  fool,  when  he  holdeth 
his  peace, is  counted  wise:  and  he 
that  shutteth  his  lips  is  esteemed 
a  man  of  understanding. 

Pro.  24—28  Be  not  a  witness 
against  thy  neighbotu'  without 
cause;  and  deceive  not  with  thy 
lips. 

De.  23—23  That  which  is  gone 
out  of  thy  lips  thou  shalt  keep 
and  perform. 

Is.  6—5  Then  said  I,  Woe  is  me! 
for  I  am  undone ;  because  I  am  a 
man  of  unclean  lips,  and  I  dwell 
in  the  midst  of  a  people  of  unclean 
1ms:  for  mine  eyes  have  .seen  the 
King,  the  Lord  of  hosts,    p.  107.

Job.  27—3  All  the  while  my 
breath  is  iu  me,  and  the  spirit  of 
God  is  iu  my  nostrils; 

4  My  lips  shall  not  speak  wicked- 
ness, nor  my  tongue  utter  deceit. 

Ps.  12—2  They  speak  vanity 
every  one  with  his  neigliboiir: 
with  flattering  lips  and  with  a 
double  heart  do  they  speak. 

3  The  Lord  shall  cut  off  all  flat- 
teriug  lips,  and  the  tongue  that 
speaketh  proud  things: 

4  Who  have  said,  With  our 
tongue  will  we  prevail-  oiir  lips 
are  our  own :  who  is  lord  over  us? 

Ps.  34—13  Keep  thy  tongue  from 
evil,  and  thy  lips  from  speaking 
guile. 

Ps.  120—2  Deliver  my  soul.  O 
Lord,  from  lying  lips,  and  from 
a  deceitful  tongue. 

Ps.  140—3  They  have  sharpened 
their  tongues  like  a  serpent ;  ad- 
ders' poison  is  imder  then-  lips. 

Ps.  22—7  All  they  that  see  me 
laugh  me  to  scorn:  they  shoot  out 
the  lip,  they  shake  the  head. 

Ge.  17—17  Then  Abraham  fell 
upon  his  face,  and  laughed,  and 
said  in  his  heart.  Shall  a  child  be 
bom  unto  him  that  is  a  hundred 
years  old?  and  shall  Sarah,  that 
IS  ninety  years  old,  bear?    p.  149. 

Ge.  18—10  The  Lord  said,  I  will 
certainly  retm-n  unto  thee  accord- 
ing to  the  time  of  life;  and  Sarah 
thy  wife  shall  have  a  son. 

12  Therefore  Sarah  laughed 
within  herself,  saying,  After  I  am 
waxed  old  shall  1  have  pleasure, 
my  lord  being  old  also? 

13  And  the  Lord  said  imto  Abra- 
ham, Wherefore  did  Sarah  laugh? 

15  Then  Sarah  denied,  saving,  I 
laughed  not ;  for  she  was  afraid. 
And  he  said.  Nay;  but  thou  didst 
laugh,    p.  491. 

Ge.  21—6  Sarah  said,  God  hath 
made  me  to  laugh,  so  that  all  that 
hear  will  laugh  with  me.  p.  336. 
_  Ps.  126—2  Then  was  our  mouth 
filled  with  laughter,  and  om- 
tongue  with  singmg. 

Job  29—24  If  I  laughed  on  them, 
they  believed  it  not ;  and  the  light 
of  my  countenance  they  cast  not 
down.    p.  386. 

Pro.  1—26  1  also  wUl  laugh  at 
your  calamity;  I  will  mock  when 
your  fear  cometh. 

Pro.  14—13  Even  in  laughter  the 
heart  is  sorrowful;  and  the  end 
of  that  mirth  is  heaviness. 


Eg.  2—2  1  said  of  laughter.  It  is 
mad :  and  of  mu-th,  What  doeth 
it?    p.  192. 

Ja.  4—9  Be  afflicted,  and  moi^rn, 
and  weep:  let  yoiu-  laughter  be 
turned  to  moummg,  and  your  joy 
to  heaviness. 

Mat.  9—24  And  Jesus  said  unto 
them.  Give  place:  for  the  maid 
is  not  dead,  but  sleepeth.  And 
they  laughed  him  to  scorn.  Mar.

vid's sake  did  the  Lord  his  God 
give  him  a  lamp  in  Jerusalem,  to 
set  up  his  sou  after  him,  and  to 
establish  -Jerusalem. 

Ps.  132—17  There  will  I  make  the 
horn  of  David  to  bud :  I  have  or- 
dained a  lamp  for  mme  anomted. 

Pro.  13—9  The  light  of  the  right- 
eous rejoiceth:  but  the  lamp  of 
the  wicked  shall  be  put  out. 

Pro.  1 — 14  Cast  in  thy  lot  among 
us^  let  us  all  have  one  purse. 

Pro.  16—33  The  lot  is  cast  into

thereof  is  of  the  Lord. 

Pro.  18—18  The  lot  causeth  con-

tween the  mighty. 

Mat.  16—6  Then  Jesus  said  unto 
them.  Take  heed  and  beware  of 
the  leaven  of  the  Pharisees  and 
of  the  Sadducees. 


181 


12  Then  understood  they  how 
that  he  bade  them  not  beware  of 
the  leaven  of  bread,  but  of  the 
doctrine  of  the  Pharisees  and  of 
the  Sadducees. 

1  Co.  5—6  Your  glorying  is  not 
good.  Know  ye  not  that  a  little 
leaven  leaveneththewliole  lump? 

7  Purge  out  therefore  the  old 
leaven,  that  ye  may  be  a  new 
lump,  as  ye  are  unleavened.  For 
even  Christ  our  passover  is  sac- 
rificed for  us : 

8  Therefore  let  us  keep  the  feast, 
not  with  old  leaven,  neither  with 
the  leaven  of  malice  and  wicked- 
ness; but  with  the  unleavened 
bread  of  sincerity  and  truth. 


2  Ti.  2—22  Flee  also  youthful 
lusts:  but  follow  righteousness, 
faith,  charity,  peace,  with  them 
that  call  on  the  Lord  out  of  a  pure 

Ja.  4—1  From  whence  come  wars 
and  fightings  among  you?  come 
they  not  hence,  even  of  your  lusts 
that  war  in  your  members? 

2  Ye  lust,  and  have  not :  ye  kill, 
and  desire  to  have,  and  cannot  ob- 
tain: ye  fight  and  war,  yet  ye 
have  not,  because  ye  ask  not. 

3  Ye  ask,  and  receive  not,  be- 
cause ye  ask  amiss,  that  ye  may 
consume  it  upon  your  lusts. 

4  Ye  adulterers  and  adulteresses, 
know  ye  not  that  the  friendship 
of  the  world  is  enmity  with  God? 
whosoever  will  be  a  friend  of  the 
world  is  the  enemy  of  God. 

5Do  ye  think  that  the  Scripture 
saith  in  vaLn,The  spirit  that  dwell- 
eth  in  us  lusteth  to  envy? 

7  Submit  yourselves  therefore 
to  God.  Resist  the  devil,  and  he 
will  flee  from  you. 

1  Pe.  2—11  Dearly  beloved,  I  be- 
seech you  as  strangers  and  pil- 
grims, abstain  from  fleshly  lusts, 
which  war  against  the  soul. 

2  Co.  3—1  Do  we  begin  again  to 
commend  oirrselves?  or  need  we, 
as  some  others,  epistles  of  com- 
mendation to  you,  or  letters  of 
commendation  from  you? 

2  Ye  are  oui-  epistle  written  in 
our  hearts,  known  and  read  of  all 
men: 

3  For  as  much  as  ye  are  manifest- 
ly declared  to  be  the  epistle  of 
Christ  ministered  by  us,  written 
not  with  ink,  but  with  the  spirit 
of  the  livins^'God ;  not  in  tables  of 


stone,  but  in  fleshly  tables  of  the 
heart. 

5  Not  that  we  are  sufficient  of 
ourselves  to  think  anything  as  of 
ourselves;  but  our  sufficiency  is 
of  God ; 

6  Who  also  hath  made  us  able 
ministers  of  the  new  testament; 
not  of  the  letter,  but  of  the  spirit: 
for  the  letter  killeth,but  thespu-it 
giveth  life. 

2  Co.  10—9  That  I  may  not  seem 
as  if  I  would  terrify  you  by  letters. 

10  For  his  letters,  say  they,  are 
weighty  and  powerful;  but  his 
bodily  presence  is  weak,  and  his 
speech  contemptible. 

11  Let  such  a  one  think  this,that, 
such  as  we  are  in  word  by  letters 
when  we  are  absent,  such  will  we 
be  also  in  deed  when  we  are  pres- 
ent. 

Gal.  6—11  Ye  see  how  large  a 
letter  I  have  written  unto  you 
with  mine  own  hand. 

He.  13—22  And  I  beseech  you, 
brethren,  suffer  the  word  of  exhor- 
tation: for  I  have  written  a  letter 
unto  you  in  few  words. 

LEND,  Bon-ower.  See  also, 
Lending  money  for  usury,  p.  244;

De.  15—6  For  the  Lord  thy  God 

blesseth  thee,as  he  promised  thee : 
and  thou  .shalt  lend  unto  many  na- 
tions, but  thou  shalt  not  borrow; 
and  thou  shalt  reign  over  many 
nations,  but  they  shall  not  reign 
over  thee.  See  De.  28. 12,  44.  p.  163. 
De.  24—10  When  thou  dost  lend 
thy  brother  any  thing,  thou  shalt 
not  go  into  his  house  to  fetch  his 
pledge. 

11  i'hou  shalt  stand  abroad,  and 
the  man  to  whom  thou  dost  lend 
shall  bring  out  the  pledge  abroad 
unto  thee. 

12  And  if  the  man  be  poor,  thou 
shalt  not  sleep  with  his  pledge : 

13  In  any  case  thou  shalt  deliver 
him  the  pledge  again  when  the 
sun  goeth  down,that  he  may  sleep 
in  his  own  raiment,  and  bless 
thee:  and  it  shall  be  righteoiLS- 
ness  unto  thee  before  the  Lord 
thy  God.  .^  ,

of  whom  ye  hope  to  receive,  what 
thank  have  ye?  for  sinners  also 
lend  to  sinners,  to  receive  as 
much  again.  .

Bible  History  of  the  creation  of 
man  and  woman.  They  were 
commanded  by  God  to  be  fruit- 
ful and  multiply  "  (Ge.  1.  27,  28. 
this  page),  yet  they  knew  not  how. 
But  when  the  Serpent  (the  farst 
Devil)  imparted  the  knowledge  to 
Eve  (and  where  did  he  get  his 
knowledge  from  ?),  then  God  m 
his  anger  cursed  them  (Ge.  3.  lol- 
lowing).  Garden  of  Eden.  Ge.  2. 
this  page.  See  also  1  Ti.  2. 13,  p.  211. 

Ge.  1—26  And  God  said.  Let  us 
make  man  in  our  image,  after  our 
our  likeness:  and  let  them  have 
dominion  over  the  fish  of  the  sea, 
the  fowl  of  the  air,  and  over  the 
cattle,  and  over  all  the  earth,  and 
over  every  creeping  thing  that 
creepeth  upon  the  earth.     .        . 

27  So  God  created  man  m  his 
own  image,  in  the  image  of  God 
created  he  him ;  male  and  female 
created  he  them. 

28  And  God  blessed  them.,  and 
God  said  unto  them,  Be  fruitful, 
and  multiply,  and  replenish  the 
earth,  and  subdue  it:  and  have 


dominion  over  the  fish  of  the  sea. 
and  over  the  fowl  of  the  air,  and 
over  every  living  thing  that  mov- 
eth  upon  the  earth. 

31  And  God  saw  every  thmg  that 
he  had  made,  and,  behold,  it  was 
very  good.  And  the  evening  and 
the  morning  were  the  sixth  day. 

Ge.  2—7  And  the  Lord  God 
formed  man  of  the  dust  of  the 
ground,  and  breathed  into  hi& 
nostrils  the  breath  of  lite;  and 
man  became  a  living  soul. 

8  And  the  Lord  God  planted  a 
garden  eastward  in  Eden;  and 
there  he  put  the  man  whom  he 
had  formed.  -,         i 

9  And  out  of  the  ground  made 
the  Lord  God  to  grow  every  tree 
that  is  pleasant  to  the  sight,  and 
good  for  food ;  the  tree  of  life  also 
ui  the  midst  of  the  garden  and 
the  tree  of  knowledge  of  good  and 

evil.  ,       ^    -T^-, 

10  And  a  nver  went  out  of  Eden 
to  water  the  garden;  and  from 
thence  it  was  parted,  and  became 
into  four  heads.  ^    ^  .    „• 

11  The  name  of  the  first  is  Pison : 
that  is  it  which  compasseth  the 
whole  land  of  Havilah.  where 
there  is  gold ;  ,  ,,    ^  ,      -,  • 

12  And  the  gold  of  that  land  is 
good :  there  is  bdellium  and  the 
onyx  stone. 

13  And  the  name  of  the  second 
river  is  Gihon:  the  same  is  it 
that  compasseth  the  whole  land 
of  Ethiopia.  ^,-^ 

14  And  the  name  of  the  third 
river  is  Hiddekel :  that  is  it  which 
goeth  toward  the  east  of  Assyria. 
And  the  fourth  vivei  is  Euplirates. 

15  And  the  Lord  God  took  the 
man.^and  put  him  into  the  garden 
of  Eden  to  dress  it  and  to  keep  it. 

16  And  the  Lord  God  com- 
manded the  man.  saying.  Of  every 
tree  of  the  garden  thou  mayest 
freely  eat :  ,  ^,     ,  i 

17  But  of  the  tree  of  the  knowl- 
edge of  good  and  evil,  thou  shalt 
not  eat  of  it:  for  in  the  day  that 
thou    eatest   thereof  thou  siiait 

"^"8^  Ind  the  Lord  God  said  It  is 
not  good  that  the  man  should  be 
alone:  I  will  make  him  a  help 
meet  for  him.  j  ^,  ^ 

19  And  out  of  the  ground  the 
Lord  God  formed  every  beast  ot 
the  field,  and  every  fowl  of  the 
air ;  and  brought  them  unto  Adam 
to  see  what  he  would  call  them:

and  whatsoever  Adam  called  ev- 
ery living  creature,  that  was  the 
name  thereof. 

20  And  Adam  gave  names  to  all 
cattle,  and  to  the  fowl  of  the  air, 
and  to  every  beast  of  the  held; 
but  for  Adam  there  was  not  found 
a  help  meet  for  him. 

21  And  the  Lord  God  caused  a 
deep  sleep  to  fall  upon  Adam,  and 
he  slept:  and  he  took  one  of  his 
ribs,  and  closed  up  the  flesh  in- 
stead thereof.  .  ,     ,     r 

22  And  the  rib,  which  the  Lord 
God  had  taken  from  man,  made 
he  a  woman,  and  brought  her  unto 
the  man.  , .    . 

23  And  Adam  said.  This  is  now 
hone  of  my  bones,  and  flesh  of  my 
flesh:  she  shall  be  called  Woman, 
because  she  was  taken  out  of  man. 

24  Therefore  shall  a  man  leave 
his  father  and  his  mother,  and 
shall  cleave  mito  his  wife:  and 
they  shall  be  one  flesh. 

25  And  they  were  both  naked, 
the  man  and  his  wife,  and  were 
not  ashamed. 

Ge.  3—1  Now  the  serpent  was 
more  subtile  than  any  beast  of 
the  field  which  the  Lord  God 
had  made.  And  he  said  luito  the 
woman.  Yea,  hath  God  said.  Ye 
shall  not  eat  of  every  tree  of  the 
garden? 

2  And  the  woman  said  mito  the 
serpent.  We  may  eat  of  the  fruit 
of  the  trees  of  the  garden : 

3  But  of  the  fruit  of  the  tree 
which  is  in  the  midst  of  the  gar- 
den, God  hath  said,  Ye  shall  not 
eat  of  it,  neither  shall  ye  touch  it, 
lest  ye  die. 

4  And  the  serpent  said  unto  the 
woman.  Ye  shall  not  sm-ely  die: 

5  For  God  doth  know  that  in  the 
day  ye  eat  thereof,  then  your  eyes 
shall  be  opened,  and  ye  shall  be  as 
gods,  knowing  good  and  evil. 

6  And  when  the  woman  saw  tbat 
the  tree  was  good  for  food,  and 
that  it  was  pleasant  to  the  eyes, 
and  a  tree  to  be  desked  to  inak^e 
one  wise,  she  took  of  the  fruit 
thereof,  and  did  eat,  and  gave 
also  unto  her  husband  with  her ; 
and  he  did  eat. 

7  And  the  eyes  of  them  both 
were  opened,  and  they  knew  that 
they  were  naked ;  and  they  sewed 
fig  leaves  together,  and  made 
themselves  aprons. 

8  And  they  heard  the  voice  of 
the  Lord  God  walking  in  the  gar- 


den in  the  cool  of  the  day:  and 
Adam  and  his  wife  hid  them- 
selves from  the  presence  of  the 
Lord  God  amongst  the  trees  of 
the  garden. 

9  And  the  Lord  called  unto 
Adam,  and  said,  Where  art  thou? 

10  And  he  said,  I  heard  thy  voice 
in  the  garden,  and  I  was  afraid, 
because  I  was  naked ;  and  I  hid 
myself.  ,    , 

11  And  he  said  Who  told  thee 
that  thou  wast  naked?  Hast  thou 
eaten  of  the  tree,  whereof  I  com- 
manded thee  that  thou  shouldest 
not  eat?  _,, 

12  And  the  man  said.  The  wo- 
man whom  thou  gavest  to  be  with 
me,  she  gave  me  of  the  tree,  and  I 
did  eat.  ^    , 

13  And  the  Lord  God  said  unto 
the  woman,  What  is  this  that  thou 
hast  done?  And  the  woman  said. 
The  serpent  beguiled  me,  and  I 
did  eat.  ^    , 

14  And  the  Lord  God  said  unto 
the  sei-peut.  Because  thou  hast 
done  this,  thou  art  cursed  above 
all  cattle,  and  above  every  beast 
of  the  field ;  upon  thy  belly  shalt 
thou  go,  and  dust  shalt  thou  eat 
all  the  days  of  thy  life : 

15  And  I  will  put  enmity  be- 
tween thee  and  the  woman,  and 
between  thy  seed  and  her  seed ;  it 
shall  bruise  thy  head,  and  thou 
shalt  bruise  his  heel.  . 

16  Unto  the  woman  he  said,  I 
will  greatly  multiply  thy  sorrow 
and  thy  conception;  in  sorrow 
thou  shalt  bring  forth  children: 
and  thy  desire  shall  be  to  thy 
husband,  and  he  shall  rule  over 
thee.  ,         . ,  ^ 

17  And  iinto  Adam  he  said.  Be- 
cause thou  hast  hearkened  unto 
the  voice  of  thy  wife,  and  hast 
eaten  of  the  tree,  of  which  I  com- 
manded thee,  saying.  Thou  shalt 
not  eat  of  it:  cursed  is  the  ground 
for  thy  sake ;  in  sorrow  shalt  thou 
eat  of  it  all  the  days  of  thy  life ; 

18  Thorns  also  and  thistles  shall 
it  bring  forth  to  thee ;  and  thou 
shalt  eat  the  herb  of  the  field : 

19  In  the  sweat  of  thy  face  shalt 
thou  eat  bread,  till  thou  return 
unto  the  ground;  for  out  of  it 
wast  thou  taken:  for  dust  thou 
art,  and  unto  dust  shalt  thou  re- 
turn. ,,    ,  ,  .       .i,  ,

name  Eve ;  because  she  was  the

^1  Unto  Adam  also  and  to  his 
wife  did  the  Lord  Hod  make 
coats  of  skins,  and  clothed  them. 

22  t  And  the  Lord  God  said, 
Behold,  the  man  is  become  as  one 
of  us,  to  know  good  and  evil:  and 
now,  lest  he  put  forth  his  hand, 
and  take  also  of  the  tree  of  life, 
and  eat,  and  live  for  ever: 

23  Therefore  the  Lord  God  sent 
him  forth  from  the  garden  of 
Eden,  to  till  the  grotuid  from 
whence  he  was  taken. 

24  So  he  drove  out  the  man:  and 
he  placed  at  the  east  of  the  garden 
of  Eden  cherubim,  and  a  flaming 
sword  which  turned  every  way,  to 
keep  th6  way  of  the  tree  of  life.

when  men  began  to  multiply  on 
the  face  of  the  earth,  and  daugh- 
ters were  born  unto  them, 

2  That  the  sons  of  God  saw  the 
daughters  of  men  that  they  were 
fair;  and  they  took  them  wives 
of  all  which  they  chose. 

3  And  the  Lord  said.  My  Spirit 
shall  not  always  strive  with  man, 
for  that  he  also  is  flesh:  yet  his 
days  shall  be  a  hundred  and 
twenty  years,    p.  6.

in  those  days;  and  also  after  that,

bare  children  to  them,  the  same 
became  mighty  men  which  were 
of  old,  men  of  renown.

edness of  man  was  great  in  the 
earth,  and  that  evei-j;  imagina- 
tion of  the  thoughts  of  his  heart 
was  only  evil  continually, 

6  And  it  repented  the  Lord  that 
he  had  made  man  on  the  earth, 
and  it  grieved  hmi  at  his  heart.

stroy man  whom  I  have  created 
from  the  face  of  the  earth;  both 
man,  and  beast,  and  the  creeping 
thing,  and  the  fowls  of  the  air;

made  them.

Shem,  Ham,  and  Japheth. 

11  The  earth  also  was  corrupt 
before  God;  and  the  earth  was 
tilled  with  violence. 

12  And  God  looked  upon  the 
earth,  and,  behold,  it  was  cor- 
rupt; for  all  flesh  had  corrupted 
his  way  upon  the  earth. 

13  And  God  said  unto  Noah,  The 
end  of  all  flesh  is  come  before  me ; 
for  the  earth  is  filled  with  violence 
through  them  ;  and,  behold,  I  will

cubits,  the  breadth  of  it  fifty  cu- 
bits, and  the  height  of  it  thirty 
cubits. 

16  A  window  shalt  thou  make  to 
the  ark,  and  in  a  cubit  shalt  thou 
finish  it  above ;  and  the  door  of 
the  ark  shalt  thou  set  in  the  side 
thereof;  with  lower,  second,  and 
third  stories  shalt  thou  make  it. 

17  And,  behold,  I,  even  I,  do 
bring  a  flood  of  waters  upon  the 
earth,  to  destroy  all  flesh,  wherein  . 
is  the  breath  of  life,  from  under 
heaven ;  and  every  thing  that  is 
in  the  earth  shall  die.

my  covenant;  and  thou  shalt

22  Thus  did  Noah;  according  to 
all  that  God  commanded  him,  so 

^  Ge^7— 1  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Noah.Come  thou  and  all  thy  house 
into  tke  ark ;  for  thee  haye.I  seen 
righteous  before  me  m  this  gen-

^3  oTTowls  also  of  the  air  by 
sevens,  the  male  and  the  female ; 
to  keep  seed  alive  upon  the  face

cause  it  to  rain  upon  the  earth 

forty  days  and  forty  nighVh^vP 
every  living  substance  that  1  lia\e 
made  will  1  destroy  from  off  the 
face  of  the  earth.  . 

5  And  Noah  did  accordmg  unto 
all  that  the  Lord  commanded 

^e^And  Noah  was  six  hundred 
years  old  when  the  flood  of  waters 
wasupon  the  earth.       . 

7  H  And  Noah  went  m.  and  his 
sons,  and  his  wife,  and  his  sons 
wives  with  him,  into  the  ark,  be- 
cause of  the  waters  of  the  flood. 

8  Of  clean  beasts,  and  of  beasts 
that  are  not  clean,  and  of  fowls, 
and  of  everythmg  that  creepeth 
upon  the  earth,   . 

9  There  went  m  two  and  two 
Txnto  Noah  into  the  ark.  the  male 
and  the  female,  as  God  had  com- 
manded Noah. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass  a  Iter 
seven  days,  that  the  waters  ot  the 
flood  were  upon  the  earth. 


11 1  In  the  six  hundredth  year  of 
Noah's  life,  in  the  second  month, 
the  seventeenth  day  of  the  month, 
the  same  day  were  all  the  tount- 
ains  of  the  great  deep  broken  up. 
and  the  windows  of  heaven  were 
opened.  .  .,  „ 

12  And  the  ram  was  upon  the 
earth  forty  days  and  forty  nights. 

13  In  the  selfsame  day  entered 
Noah,  and  Shem,  and  Ham,  and 
Japheth.  the  sons,  of  Noah,  and 
Noah's  wife,  and  the  three  wives 
of  his  sons  with  them.mto  the  ark ; 

14  They,  and  every  beast  after 
his  kind,  and  all  the  cattle  after 
thek  kind,  and  every  creeping 
thing  that  creepeth  upon  the 
earth  after  his  kind,  and  every 
fowl  after  his  kmd.  every  bird  ot 
every  sort.  .         .    ^.^ , 

15  And  they  went  in  unto  Noah 
into  the  ark.  two  and  two  of  all 
flesh,  wherein  is  the  breath  ot  lite. 

16  And  they  that  went  m.  went 
in  male  and  female  of  all. flesh,  as 
God  had  commanded  him:  ana 
the  Lord  shut  him  iu.  ^    ^     ^ 

17  And  the  flood  was  forty  days 
upon  the  earth;  and  the  waters 
increased,  and  bare  up  the  ark. 
and  it  was  lifted  up  above   the

were  increased  greatly  upon  the 
earth ;  and  the  ark  went  upon  the 
face  of  the  waters.  • ,  „  ^  „^ 

19  And  the  waters  prevailed  ex- 
ceedingly upon  the  earth;  and  all 
the  high  hills,  that  were  under  the 
whole  heaven  were  covered. 

20  Fifteen  cubits  upward  did  the 
waters  prevail ;  and  the  mountams

Ge.  8—1  And  (iod  remembered 
Noah,  aud  every  living-  thing,  and 
all  the  cattle  that  wan  with  him 
in  the  ark:  and  God  made  a  wind 
to  pass  over  the  earth,  and  the 
waters  assuaged. 

2  The  fountains  also  of  the  deep 
and  the  windows  of  heaven  were 
stopped,  and  the  rain  from  heaven 
was  restrained. 

3  And  the  waters  returned  from 
off  the  earth  continually:  and 
after  the  end  of  the  hmidred 
and  fifty  days  the  waters  were 
abated. 

4  And  the  ark  rested  m  the  sev- 
enth month,  on  the  seventeenth 
day  of  the  month,  upon  the  moun- 
tains of  Ararat. 

5  And  the  waters  decreased  con- 
tinually ixntil  the  tenth  month :  in 
the  tenth  month,  on  the  first  day 
of  the  month,  were  the  tops  of  the 
mountains  seen. 

6  IF  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
end  of  forty  days,  that  Noah 
opened  the  window  of  the  ark 
which  he  had  made: 

7  And  he  sent  forth  a  raven, 
which  went  forth  to  and  fro,  until 
the  waters  were  dried  up  from  oil 
the  earth. 

8  Also  he  sent  forth  a  dove  from 
him,  to  see  if  the  waters  were 
abated  from  of  the  face  of  the 
ground. 

9  But  the  dove  found  no  rest  for 
the  sole  of  her  foot,  and  she  re- 
turned unto  him  into  the  ark ;  for 
the  waters  were  on  the  face  of  the 
whole  earth.  Then  he  put  forth 
his  hand,  and  took  her.  and  pulled 
her  in  unto  him  into  the  ark. 

10  And  he  stayed  yet  other  seven 
days ;  and  again  he  sent  forth  the 
dove  out  of  the  ark. 

11  And  the  dove  came  in  to  him 
in  the  evening,  and.  lo,  in  her 
mouth  was  an  olive  leaf  plucked 
off:  so  Noah  knew  that  the  waters 
were  abated  from  off  the  earth. 

12  And  he  stayed  yet  other  seven 
days,  and  sent  forth  the  dove, 
which  returned  not  again  unto 
him  any  more. 

13  IT  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
six  hmidredth  and  first  year,  in 
the  fir.st  month,  the  first  day  of  the 
month,  the  waters  were  dried  up 
from  off  the  earth :  and  Noah  re- 
moved the  covering  of  the  ark, 
and  looked,  and,  behold,  the  face 
of  the  ground  was  dry. 

14  And  in  the  second  month,  on 


the  seven  and  twentieth  day  of 
the  month,  was  the  earth  dried. 

15  H  And  God  spake  unto  Noah, 
saying, 

16  Go  forth  of  the  ark,  thou, 
and  thy  wife,  and  thy  sons,  and 
thy  sons'  wives  with  thee. 

17  Bring  forth  every  living  thing, 
of  all  flesh,  both  of  fowl,  and  of 
cattle,  and  of  every  creeping 
thing  that  creepeth  upon  the 
earth ;  that  they  may  breed  abun- 
dantly in  the  earth,  and  be  fruit- 
ful, and  multiply  upon  the  eartli. 

18  And  Noah  went  forth,  and  his 
sons,  and  his  wife,  and  his  sons' 
wives  with  him: 

19  Every  beast,  every  creeping 
thing,  and  every  fowl,  and  what- 
soever creepeth  upon  the  eartli, 
after  then-  kinds,  went  forth  out 
of  the  ark. 

20  IT  And  Noah  builded  an  altar 
unto  the  Lord;  and  took  of 
every  clean  beast,  and  of  every 
clean  fowl,  and  offered  burnt  of- 
ferings on  the  altar. 

21  And  the  Lord  smelled  a 
sweet  savour;  and  the  Lord  said 
in  his  heart,  I  will  not  again  curse 
the  ground  any  more  for  man's 
sake;  for  the  imagination  of 
man's  heart  is  evil  from  his 
youth :  neither  will  1  agam  smite 
any  more  every  thing  living,  as 
I  have  done. 

22  While  the  earth  remaineth. 
seedtime  and  harvest,  and  cold 
and  heat. and  summer  and  winter, 
and  day  and  night  shall  not  cease. 

Ge.  9—1  And  God  blessed  Noah 
and  his  .sons,  and  said  unto  them, 
Be  fruitful,  and  multiply,  aud  re- 
plenish the  earth. 

2  And  the  fear  of  you  and  the 
dread  of  you  shall  be  upon  every 
beast  of  the  earth,  and  upon  eveiy 
fowl  of  the  air,  upon  all  that  niov- 
eth  upon  the  earth,  and  upon  all 
the  fishes  of  the  sea;  into  youi- 
hand  are  they  delivered. 

3  Every  moving  thing  that  liv- 
eth  shall  be  meat  for  you ;  even  as 
the  gi-een  herb  have  I  given  you 
all  things. 

4  But  flesh  with  the  life  thereof ; 
which  is  the  blood  thereof,  shall 
ye  not  eat. 

5  And  surely  your  blood  of  your 
lives  will  I  require:  at  the  hand 
of  evei-y  beast  will  I  require  it, 
and  at  the  hand  of  man;  at  the 
hand  of  every  man's  brother  will 
1  requu-e  the  life  of  man.

7  And  you.  be  ye  fruitful,  and 
multiply ;  brmg  forth  abiidantly 
in  the  earth,and  multiply  thei-em. 

8  H  And-  God  spake  unto  Noah, 
and  to  his  sons  with  hmi,  saying, 

9  And  I,  behold,  I  establish  my 
covenant  with  you,  and  with  your 
seed  after  you ; 

10  And  with  every  living  creat- 
ure that  is  with  you,  of  the  fowl. 
of  the  cattle,  and  of  every  beast  ot 
the  earth  with  you;  from  all  that 
go  out  of  the  ark,  to  every  beast 
of  the  earth.  , , .  , 

11  And  I  will  establish  my  cov- 
enant with  you ;  neither  «hall  all 
flesh  be  cut  off  any  more  by  the 
waters  of  a  flood;  neither  shall 
there  any  more  be  a  flood  to  de- 
stroy the  earth.    . ,    ^,  .     .     ^, 

12  And  God  said.  This  is  the 
token  of  the  covenant  which  1 
make  between  me  and  you,  and 
every  livmg  creature  that  is  with 
you,  for  perpetual  generations: 

13  I  do  set  my  bow  in  the  clovid, 
and  it  shall  be  for  a  token  of  a 
covenant   between  me   and  the

when  I  bring  a  cloud  oyer  «ie 
earth,  that  the  bow  shall  be  seen 
in  the  cloud : 

15  And  I  will  remember  my  cov- 
enant, which  is  between  me  and 
you  and  every  living  creature  ot 
all  flesh ;  and  the  waters  shall  no 
more  become  a  flood  to  destroy  all 

flesh.  ,    ,,  ,      .     ^, 

16  And  the  bow  shall  be  m  the 
cloud ;  and  I  will  look  upon  it,  that 
I  may  remember  the  everlasting 
covenant  between  God  and  every 
living  creature  of  all  flesh  that  is 
upon  the  earth.  ,^     , 

17  And  God  said  unto  Noah, 
This  is  the  token  of  the  covenant, 
which  I  have  established  between 
me  and  all  flesh  that  is  upon  the 

18  If'  And  the  sons  of  Noah,  that 
went  forth  of  the  ark,  were  Shem, 
and  Ham,  and  Japheth:  and  Ham 
is  the  father  of  Canaan. 

19  These  are  the  three  sons  of 
Noah:  and  of  them  was  the  whole 
earth  overspread. 

20  And  Noah  began  to  be  a  hus- 
bandman, and  he  planted  a  vuie- 
yard:  ,      „    , 

21  And  he  drank  of  the  wme. 


and  was   drimken;   and  he  was 
uncovered  within  his  tent. 

22  And  Ham,  the  father  of  Ca-' 
naan,  saw  the  nakedness  of  his 
father,  and  told  his  two  brethi-en. 

23  And  Shem  and  Japheth  took 
a  garment,  and  laid  it  upon  both 
their  shoulders,  and  went  back- 
ward, and  covered  the  nakedness 
of  their  father ;  and  they  saw  not 
their  father's  nakedness. 

24  And  Noah  awoke  fi'om  his 
wine,  and  knew  what  his  younger 
son  had  done  unto  him. 

25  And  he  said.  Cursed  be  Ca- 
naan ;  a  servant  of  servants  shall 
he  be  unto  his  brethren. 

26  And  he  said.  Blessed  be  the 
Lord  God  of  Shem ;  and  Canaan 
shall  be  his  servant. 

27  God  shall  enlarge  Japheth. 
and  he  shall  dwell  in  the  tents  of 
Shem;  and  Canaan  shall  be  his 
servant.  ,      „

flood  three  hundred  and  fiftyyears.

nine  hundred  and  fifty  years :  and 
he  died.

3  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree 
planted  by  the  rivers  of  water, 
that  briugeth  forth  his  fruit  in 
his  season ;  his  leaf  also  shall  not 
wither;  and  whatsoever  he  doeth 
shall  prosper,    p.  104. 

Fs.  5—6  The  Lord  will  abhor  the 
bloody  and  deceitful  man. 

Ps.  8—4  What  is  man,  that  thou 
art  mindful  of  him?  and  the  son 
of  man,  that  thou  visitest  him? 

5  For  thou  hast  made  him  a  lit- 
tle lower  than  the  angels,  and 
hast  crowned  him  with  glory  and 
lionour. 

6  Thou  madest  him  to  have 
dominion  over  the  works  of  thy 
hands;  thou  hast  put  all  things 
under  his  feet.

Ps.  17—13  O  Lord,  deliver  my 
soul  from  the  wicked. 

14  From  men  which  are  thy

world,  which  nave  their  portion

Ps.  18—4  The  sorrows  of  death 
compassed  me,  and  the  floods  of 
ungodly  men  made  me  afraid. 

Ps.  22—6  But  I  am  a  worm,  and 
no  man ;  a  reproach  of  men,  and 
despised  of  the  people.

Ps.  31—12  I  am  forgotten  as  a 
dead  man  out  of  mind :  I  am  like 
a  broken  vessel. 

Ps.  32—2  Blessed  is  the  man  unto 
whom  the  Lord  imputeth  not  in- 
iquity, and  in  whose  spirit  there 
is  no  guile.  .        ,  .  -, 

Ps.  33—16  There  is  no  kmg  saved 
by  the  multitude  of  a  host:  a 
mighty  man  is  not  delivered  by 
much  strength.  . 

Ps.  31—6  This  poor  man  cried, 
and  the  Lokd  heard  him,  and 
saved  him  out  of  all  his  troubles. 
12  What  man  is  he  that  desireth 
life,  and  loveth  many  days,  that 
he  may  see  good? 

Ps.  37—7  Fret  not  thyself  be- 
cause of  the  man  who  oringeth 
wicked  devices  to  pass. 

16  A  little  that  a  righteous  man 
hath  is  better  than  the  riches  of 
many  wicked. 

23  The  steps  of  a  good  man  are 
ordered  by  the  Lord:  and  he  de- 
lighteth  in  his  way. 

37  Mark  the  perfect  man,  and 
behold  the  upright:  for  the  end 
of  that  man  is  peace. 

Ps.  38—13  I,  as  a  deaf  man,  heard 
not;  and  I  was  as  a  dumb  man 
tliat  opeueth  not  his  mouth. 

11  Thus  I  was  as  a  man  that 
iiearethuot.    Ps.  39.  6,  p.  242. 

Ps.  40—4  Blessed  is  that  man 
that  maketh  the  Lord  his  trust, 
and  respecteth  not  the  proud,  nor 
•such  as  turn  aside  to  lies. 

Ps.  43—1  Judge  me,  O  God,  and 
plead  my  cause  against  an  ungod- 
ly nation:  O  deliver  me  from  the 
deceitful  and  unjust  man. 

Ps.  19—20  Man  that  is  in  honour, 
and  understandeth  not,  is  like 
the  beasts  that  perish. 

Ps.  52—1  Why  boastest  thou  thy- 
self in  mischief,  O  mighty  man? 
7  Lo,  this  is  the  man  that  made 
not  God  his  strength ;  but  trusted 
in  the  abundance  of  his  riches, 
and  strengthened  himself  in  his 
wickedness. 

Ps.  5.5—12  For  it  was  not  an  en- 
emy that  reproached  me :  then  I 
could  have  borne  it:  neither  was 
it  he  that  hated  me  that  did  mag- 
nify himself  against  me;  then  I 
would  have  hid  myself  from  him : 
13  But  it  was  thou,  a  man  mine 
equal,  my  guide,  and  mine  ac- 
quaintance. ,    . 

23  But  thou,  O  God,  shalt  bring 
them  down  into  the  pit  of  destruc- 
tion: bloody  and  deceitful  men 
shall  not  live  out  half  their  days. 


Ps.  56—1  Be  merciful  mito  me. 
O  God:  for  man  would  swallow 
me  up.        ^  ,    ,    . 

Ps.  60—11  Give  us  help  from  trou- 
ble :  for  vain  is  the  help  of  man. 

Ps.  62—9  Surely  men  of  low  de- 
gree are  vanity,  and  men  of  high 
degree  are  a  lie:  to  be  laid  in  the 
balance,  they  are  altogether 
ligliter  than  vanity. 

Ps.  66—12  Thou  hast  caused  men 
to  ride  over  our  heads,    p.  9.5. 

Ps.  74—5  A  man  was  famous  ac- 
cording as  he  had  lifted  up  axes 
upon  the  thick  trees. 

Ps.  103—15  As  for"  man,  his  days 
are  as  grass:  as  a  flower  of  the 
field,  so  he  llourisheth. 

16  For  the  wiad  passeth  over  it, 
and  it  is  gone;  and  the  place 
thereof  shall  know  it  no  more. 

Ps.  107—27  They  reel  to  and  fro, 
and  stagger  like  a  drunken  man, 
and  are  at  thek  wit's  end.    p.  301. 

Ps.  109—6  Set  thou  a  wicked 
man  over  him:  and  let  Satan 
stand  at  his  right  hand. 

Ps.  112—1  Praise  ye  the  Lord. 
Blessed  is  the  man  that  feareth 
the  Lord,  that  delighteth  greatly 
in  his  commandments. 

2  His  seed  shall  be  mighty 
upon  earth :  the  generation  of  the 
upright  shall  be  blessed.  . 

3  Wealth  and  riches  shall  be  in 
his  house:  and  his  righteousness 
endureth  for  ever. 

Ps.  140—1  Deliver  me,  O  Lord, 
from  the  evil  man:  preserve  me 
from  the  violent  man ;  . 

2  Which  imagine  mischiefs  m 
their  heart;  continually  are  they 
gathered  together  for  war. 

Ps.  144—4  Man  is  like  vanity : 
his  days  as  a  shadow  passeth 
away.

ure in  the  legs  of  a  man.    p.  128. 

Pro.  1—5  A  wise  man  will  hear, 
and  will  increase  learning ;  and  a 
man  of  understanding  shall  at- 
tain unto  wise  counsels. 

Pro.  5—21  For  the  ways  of  man 
are  before  the  eyes  of  the  Lord, 
and  he  pondereth  all  his  gomgs. 

Pro.  9—9  Give  instruction  to  a 
wise  man,  and  he  will  be  yet 
wiser:  teach  a  just  man,  and  he 
will  increase  in  learning. 

Pro.  10—14  Wise  men  lay  up 
knowledge:  but  the  mouth  of  the 
foolish  is  near  destruction.    , 

15  The  rich  man's  wealth  is  his

the  poor  is  their  poverty.

Pro.  12—2  A  good  man  obtaiueth 
favour  of  the  Lord:  but  a  man  of 
wicked  devices  will  he  condemn. 

3  A  man  shall  not  be  estab- 
lished by  wickedness:  but  the 
root  of  the  righteous  shall  not  be 
moved. 

8  A  man  shall  be  commended 
according-  to  his  wisdom:  but  he 
that  is  of  a  perverse  heart  shall  be 
despised. 

10  A  righteous  man  regardeth  the 
life  of  his  beast:  but  the  tender 
mercies  of  the  wicked  are  cruel. 

14  A  man  shall  be  satisfied  with 
good  by  the  fruit  of  his  mouth: 
and  the  recompense  of  a  man's 
handsshall  be  rendered  unto  him. 

23  A  prudent  man  concealeth 
knowledge:  but  the  heart  of  fools 
proclaimeth  foolishness. 

25  Heaviness  in  the  heart  of  man 
maketh  it  stoop:  but  a  good  word 
maketh  it  glad. 

27  The  slothful  man  roasteth  not 
that  which  he  took  in  hunting. 

Pro.  13—8  The  ransom  of  a  man's 
life  are  his  riches:  but  the  poor 
heareth  not  rebuke. 

20  He  that  walketh  with  wise 
men  shall  be  wise:  biit  a  compan- 
ion of  fools  shall  be  destroyed. 

22  A  good  man  leaveth  an  inher- 
itance to  his  children's  children: 
and  the  wealth  of  the  sinner  is 
laid  up  for  the  just. 

Pro.  14—7  Go  from  the  presence 
of  a  foolish  man,  when  thou  per- 
ceivest  not  in  him  the  lips  of 
knowledge. 

12  There  is  a  way  which  seemeth 
right  unto  a  man;  but  the  end 
thereof  are  the  ways  of  death. 

16  A  wise  man  feareth,  and  de- 
parteth  from  evil:  but  the  fool 
rageth,  and  is  confident. 

17  He  that  is  soon  angry  dealeth 
foolishly:  and  a  man  of  wicked 
devices  is  hated. 

Pro.  15—23  A  man  hath  joy  by  the 
answer  of  his  mouth:  and  a  word 
spoken  in  due  season,  how  good 
is  it! 

Pro.  16-1  The  preparations  of  the 
heart  in  man,  and  the  answer  of 
the  tongue,  is  from  the  Lord. 

2  All  the  waysof  aman  are  clean 
in  his  own  eyes;  but  the  Lord 
weigheth  the  spirits. 

7  When  a  man's  ways  please  the 
Lord,  he  maketli  even  his  ene- 
mies to  be  at  peace  with  him. 

9  A  man's  heart  deviseth  his 
way:  but  the  Lord  directeth  his 
steps. 


Pro.  18-4  Tlie  words  of  a  man's 
mouth  areas  deep  waters,  and  the 
wellspring  of  wisdom  as  a  flowing 
brook. 

20  A  man's  belly  shall  be  satis- 
fied with  the  fruit  of  his  mouth ; 
and  with  the  increase  of  his  lips 
shall  he  be  filled. 

Pro.  19—11  The  discretion  of  a 
man  differeth  his  anger;  and  it  is 
his  glory  to  pass  over  a  transgres- 
sion. 

19  A  man  of  great  wi-ath  shall 
suffer  piuiishment:  for  if  thou 
deliver  him,  yet  thou  must  do  it 
agaui. 

21  There  are  many  devices  in  a 
man's  heart. 

22  The  desire  of  a  man  is  his 
kindness:  and  a  poor  man  is  better 
than  a  liar. 

Pro.  20—3  It  is  an  honour  for  a 
man  to  cease  from  strife :  but  every 
fool  will  be  meddling. 

6  Most  men  will  proclaim  every 
one  his  own  goodness:  but  a  faith- 
ful man  who  can  find? 

24  Man's  goings  are  of  the  Lord  ; 
how  can  a  man  then  understand 
his  own  way? 

26  It  is  a  snare  to  the  man  who 
devoureth  that  which  is  holy,  and 
after  vows  to  make  inguiry. 

27  The  spirit  of  man  is  the  candle 
of  the  Lord,  searching  all  the  in- 
ward parts  of  the  belly. 

29  The  glory  of  young  men  is 
their  strength :  and  the  beauty  of 
old  men  is  the  gray  head. 

Pro.  21—2  Every  way  of  a  man  is 
right  in  his  own  eyes:  but  the 
Lord  pondereth  the  hearts. 

16  The  man  that  wandereth  out 
of  the  way  of  understanding  shall 
remain  in  the  congregation  of  the 
dead. 

22  A  wise  man  scaleth  the  city 
of  the  mighty,  and  casteth  down 
the  strength  of  the  confidence 
thereof.    Pro.  25. 19,  p.  54. 

Pro.  22—3  A  prudent  man  for- 
seeth  the  evil,  and  hideth  him- 
self: but  the  simple  pass  on,  and 
are  punished. 

24  Make  no  friendship  with  an 
angry  man;  and  with  a  furious 
man  thou  shalt  not  go; 

25  Lest  thou  learn  his  ways,  and 
get  a  snare  to  thy  soul.    p.  24. 

Pro.  24—1  Be  not  thou  envious 
against  evil  men,  neither  desire 
to  be  with  them.    p.  313. 

5  A  wise  man  is  strong;  yea, 
a  man  of  knowledge  increaseth 
strength.

12  Doth  not  lie  that  poudereth 
the  heart  consider  it?  and  he  that 
keepeth  thy  soul,  doth  not  he 
know  it?  and  shall  not  he  render 
to    every  man  according  to  his 

works?  ^  ,,  ^, 

16  For  a  just  man  falleth  seven 
times,  and  riseth  up  again:  but  the 
wicked  shall  fall  into  mischiet. 

Pro.  26—12  Seest  thou  a  man  wise 
in  his  own  conceit?  there  is  more 
hope  of  a  fool  than  of  him. 

Pro.  28— 11  The  rich  man  is  wise 
in  his  own  conceit ;  hut  the  poor 
that  hath  understanding  search- 
eth  him  out. 

12  When  righteous  men  do  re- 
joice, there  is  great  glory:  but 
when  the  wicked  rise,  a  man  is 
hidden. 

21  To  have  respect  of  persons  is 
not  good :  for,  for  a  piece  of  bread 
that  man  will  transgress. 

23  He  that  rebuketh  a  man,af  ter- 
wards  shall  find  more  favour  than 
he  that  flattereth  with  the  tongue. 

Pro.  29— .5  A  man  that  flattereth 
his  neighbour  spreadeth  a  net  for 
his  feet. 

8  Scornful  men  bring  a  city  into 
a  snare :  but  wise  men  turn  away 

,  wrath. 

9  If  a  wise  man  contendeth  with 
a  foolish  man,  whether  he  rage  or 
laugh,  there  is  no  rest. 

13  The  poor  and  the  deceitful 
man  meet  together:  the  Lord 
lighteneth  botli  their  eyes. 

20  Seest  thou  a  man  that  is  hasty 
in  his  words?  there  is  more  hope 
of  a  fool  than  of  him. 

22  An  angry  man  stirreth  up 
strife,  and  a  furious  man  abound- 
eth  in  transgression. 

23  A  man's  pride  shall  bring  him 
low:  but  honoiu- shall  uphold  the 
humble  in  spirit, 

26  Many  seek  the  ruler's  favour; 
but  every  man's  judgment  Com- 
eth from  the  Lord. 

27  An  unjust  man  is  an  abomina- 
tion to  the  just. 

Pro.  30—2  Surely  I  am  more  brut- 
ish than  any  man,  and  have  not 
the  understanding  of  a  man.  See 
Pro.  30. 19,  p.  279. 

Labour  of  Man,  Solomon's  La- 
bour, Pleasure,  Regret,  and  Ad- 
vice to  Man. 

Ec.  1—3  What  profit  hath  a  man 
of  all  his  labour  which  he  taketh 
under  the  sun? 


8  All  things  are  full  of  labour; 
man  cannot  utter  it.  See  Ec.  1. 
8-11,  p.  279,  and  12-18,  p.  308. 

Ec.  2—1  I  said  in  mine  heart. 
Go  to  now,  I  will  prove  thee  with 
mirth;  therefore  enjoy  pleasure: 
and.  behold,  this  also  is  vanity. 

2  I  said  of  laughter.  It  is  mad: 
and  of  mirth.  What  doeth  it?  . 

3  I  sought  in  mine  heart  to  give 
myself  unto  wine,  yet  acquainting 
mine  heart  with  wisdom ;  and  to 
lay  hold  on  folly,  till  I  might  see 
what  was  that  good  for  the  sons  of 
men,  which  they  should  do  mider 
the  heaven  all  the  days  of  then- 
life. 

4  I  made  me  great  works;  1 
builded  me  houses ;  1  planted  me 
vineyards: 

5  I  made  me  gardens  and  or- 
chards, and  I  planted  trees  in 
them  of  all  kind  of  fruits: 

6  I  made  me  pools  of  water,  to 
water  therewith  the  wood  that 
bringeth  forth  trees: 

7 1  got  me  servants  and  maidens, 
and  had  servants  born  m  my 
house;  also  I  had  great  posses- 
sions of  great  and  small  cattle 
above  all  that  were  in  Jerusalem 
before  me:  .,  , 

8  I  gathered  me  also  silver  and 

fold,  and  the  peculiar  treasure  of 
ings  and  of  the  provinces:  I 
gat  me  men  singers  and  women 
singers,  and  the  delights  of  the 
sons  of  men,  as  musical  instru- 
ments, and  that  of  all  sorts. 

9  So  I  was  great,  and  increased 
more  than  all  that  were  before  me 
in  Jerusalem :  also  my  wisdom  re- 
mained with  me. 

10  And  whatsoever  mine  eyes 
desired  I  kept  not  from  them,  I 
withheld  not  my  heart  from  any 
joy;  for  my  heart  rejoiced  in  all 
my  labour:  and  this  was  my  por- 
tion of  all  my  labom-. 

11  Then  I  looked  on  all  the  works 
that  my  hands  had  wrought,  and 
on  the  labour  that  I  had  laboured 
to  do:  and,  behold,  all  was  vanity 
and  vexation  of  spirit,  and  there 
was  no  profit  under  the  sun, 

12  f  And  I  turned  myself  to  be- 
hold wLsdom,  and  madness,  and 
folly :  for  what  can  the  man  do  that 
Cometh  after  the  king?  even  that 
which  hath  been  already  done. 

13  Then  I  saw  that  wisdom  ex- 
celleth  lolly,  as  far  as  light  excel- 
leth  darkness.  .

feueth  even  to  me; .and  why  was 
then  more  wise?  ,  Theu  I. Said  lh 
any  heart,  that  this  also  is  vanity. 
■  ■  IG  For  there  is  no  reuiem  brauce

tnau?  as. the  fool.  .  ' 

],  47  Therefore  I  liated  life;  be- 
cause the  work,  tliat  is  wrought 
linder  the  sun  is- grievous  \into 
me:  for  all  is  vanity  and  vexation 
of  simit.  ,,     ■  ■  -■  ' 

18  il  Yea,  I  hated  all  my  labour 
which  I'  had  takenunder  the  sun : 
because  i  should  leave  it  luito  the 
maaa,  that  shall  be  after  me. 
,  1 19, 'And  who  knoweth  whether 
'he  shall  be  a  wise  man  or  a  fool? 
yet  shall  h«;  liave!  rule  over  all  my 
labour  wherein  I  have  laboured, 
and  wherein  I  have  shewed  my- 
self wise  under  the  sun.  This  is 
also  vanity. 

/  30  :Tlierefore  I  w€nt  about  to 
cause  my  heart  to  despair  of  all 
the  labour  which  I  took  under  the 
•sun.    : 

,  21  For  there  is  a  man  whose  la- 
bour is  m  wisdom,  and  in  knowl- 
edge, and  in  equity ;  yet  to  a  man 
that  hath  not  laboured  therein 
shall  he  leave  it  for  his  portion. 
This  also  is  vanity  and  a  great  evil. 

^2  For  what  hath  man  of  all  his 
labour,  and  of  the  vexation'of  liis 
■lieart,  wherein  he  hath  laboured? 

23  For  all  his  days  are  sorrows, 
and  his  travail  grief ;  yea,his  heart 
taketh  not  rest  in  the  night.  This 
is  also  vanity. 

24  1i  There  is  nothing  better  for  a 
man,  than  that  he  should  eat  and 
drink,  and  that  he  should  make 
his  soul  enjoy  good  in  his  labour. 
This  also  I  saw.  that  it  was  from 
the  hand  of  God. 

,  25  For  who  can  eat,  or  who  else 
can  hasten  heremito,  more  than  1? 
26  For  God  giveth  to  a  man  that 
is  good  in  his  sight,  wisdom,  and 
knowledge,  and  joy:  but  to  the 
sinner  he  giveth  travail,  to  gather 
and  to  heap  u_t),  that  lie  may  give 
to  him  that  is  good  before  God. 
This  also  is  vanity  and  vexation 
of  spirit.

hath  set  the  world  in  their  heart, 
so  that  no  man  can  tind  oitt'the 
work  that  Hod  makethfroin  the 
beginning  to  the  end.  "'   ' 

12  I  know  that  there  is  no  good 
in  them,  but  for  a  man  to  rejoice, 
.and  to  do  good  in  his  life.  '^ 

13  And.  also  th;it  every  ' man 
should  eat  and  drink,  and  engoy 
the  good  of.  all  his  labour,  ifis 
thegift'of  God. .         •       •'.  '•- •' 

18  I  said  ill  mine  heart  conoefn- 
ing  the  estate  of  the  S(nis  of'  men, 
that  (iod  might  manifest  theii>, 
and  that  they  might  see  that 
they  themselves  are'beasts.      '  ' 

19  For  *hat  which  befalletfe  the 
sons  of  men  befalleth  beasts  ;>etieai 
one  thing  befalleth  them : -  as  the 
onedieth,. so  dieth  the  other;  yed, 
they  have: all  one  breath;  so  that 
a  man  liath  no  preemiijeuce  above 
a,  beast :  for  all  is  vanity. 

20  All  go  unto  one  place ;  all  are 
of  the  dust,  and  all  turn  to  dust 
again.      '  1,     :;        •'    ■. 

21  Who  knoweth  the*  spirit  M 
^laii  that  goeth  upwjtld,  and  the 
spirit  of  the  beast  that  gofeth 
downward  to  the  earth?        ■■'•-■ 

22  Wherefore  I  perceive  that 
there  is  nothing  better,  than  .that 
a  man  should  rejoice  in  his  own 
works;  for  that  is  his  portion: 
for  who  shall 'bring  him  to  sefe 
what  shall  be  after  him? 

Ec.  4—4  Agaiii,  1  considei-ed  all 
travail,  and  evei-y  right  work.that 
for  tins  a  man  is  envied  of  his 
neighbour.  This  is  also  vanity 
and  vexation  of  .spirit. 

8  There  isone  alone,  and  there  is 
not  a  second ;  yea,  he  hath  neither 
child  nor  brother:  yet  is  there  no 
end  of  all  his  labour ;  neither  is  his 
eye  satisfied  with  riches;  neither 
saith  he, For  whom  do  I  labour,and 
bereave  my  .soul  of  good?  This  is 
also  vanity, yea,  it  is  a  sore  travail. 

Ec.  5—13  There  is  a>  .sore  evil 
which  I  have  seen  under  the  sun, 
namely,  riches  kept  for  the  owners 
thereof  to  their  hurt. 

14  But  those  riches  perish  by  evil 
travail:  and  he  hegetteth  a  son, 
and  there  is  nothing  in  his  hand.

15  As  he  came  forth  of  his  moth- 
er's womb,  naked  shall  he  return 
to  go  as  he  came,  and  shall  take 
nothing  of  his  labour,  which  he 
may  carry  away  in  his  hand. 

16  .'^d  this  also  is  a  sore  evil, 
that  in  all  points  as  he  came,  so 
shall  he  go:  and  what  profit  hath 
he  that  hath  laboured  for  the 
wind?  ,  ,   . 

17  All  his  days  also  he  eateth  m 
darkness,  and  ne  hath  much  sor- 
row and  wrath  with  his  sickness. 

18  t  Behold  that  which  I  have 
seen:  it  is  good  and  comely  for 
one  to  eat  and  to  drink,  and  to  en- 
joy the  good  of  all  his  labour  that 
ne  taketh  under  the  sun  all  the 
days  of  his  life,  which  Grod  giv- 
eth  him :  for  it  is  his  portion. 

19  Every  man  also  to  whom  God 
hath  given  riches  and  wealth,  and 
hath  given  him  power  to  eat  there- 
of, and  to  take  his  portion,  and  to 
rejoice  in  his  labour;  this  is  the 
gift  of  God. 

20  For  he  shall  not  much  remem- 
ber the  days  of  his  life ;  because 
God  auswereth  him  in  the  joy  of 
his  heart.  ,  .  ,  , 

Ec.  6—1  There  is  an  evil  which  I 
have  seen  under  the  sun,  and  it  is 
common  among  men : 

2  A  man  to  whom  God  hath 
given  riches,  wealth,  and  honour, 
so  that  he  wanteth  nothing  for  his 
soul  of  all  that  hedesireth,yet  God 
giveth  him  not  power  to  eat  there- 
of, but  a  stranger  eateth  it :  this  is 
vanity,  and  it  is  an  evil  disease. 

3  If  a  man  beget  a  hundred  chil- 
dren, and  live  many  years,  so  that 
the  days  of  his  years  be  many, 
and  his  soul  be  not  filled  with 
good,  and  also  that  he  have  no 
burial ;  I  say,  that  an  untimely 
birth  is  better  than  he. 

6  Yea,  though  he  live  a  thou- 
sand years  twice  told,  yet  hath  he 
seen  no  good :  do  not  all  go  to  one 
place?  .     , 

7  All  the  labour  of  man  is  for 
his  mouth,  and  yet  the  appetite  is 
not  filled. 

10  That  which  hath  been  is 
named  already,  and  it  is  known 
that  it  is  man:  neither  may  he 
contend  with  him  that  is  might- 
ier then  he. 

11  Seeing  there  be  many  things 
that  increase  vanity,  what  is 
man  the  better? 

12  For  who  knoweth  what  is 
good  for  man  in  this  life,  all  the 
days  of  his  vain   life  which  he 


spendeth  as  a  shadow?  for  who 
can  tell  a  man  what  shall  be  after 
him  under  the  sun? 

Ec.  7—7  Surely  oppression  ma,k- 
eth  a  wise  man  mad;  and  a  gift 
destroyeth  the  heart,    p.  254. 

14  In  the  day  of  prosperity  be 
joyful,  but  in  the  day  of  adversity 
consider:  God  also  hath  set  the 
one  over  against  the  other,  to  the 
end  that  man  should  find  nothing 
after  him. 

15  All  things  have  I  seen  in  the 
days  of  my  vanity:  there  is  a  just 
man  .that  perisheth  in  his  right- 
eousness, and  there  is  a  wicKed 
man  that  prolongeth  his  life  in 
his  wickedness. 

20  For  there  is  not  a  just  man 
upon  earth,  that  doeth  good,  and 
sinneth  not. 

27  Behold,  this  have  I  found, 
saith  the  Preacher,  counting  one 
by  one,  to  find  out  the  account ; 

28  Which  yet  my  soul  seeketh, 
but  I  find  not :  one  man  among  a 
thousand  have  I  found ;  but  a  wo- 
man among  all  those  have  I  not 
found. 

29  Lo,  this  only  have  I  found, 
that  God  hath  made  man  upright ; 
but  they  have  sought  out  many 
inventions. 

Ec.  8—1  Who  is  as  the  wise  man  ? 
and  who  knoweth  the  interpreta- 
tion of  a  thing?  a  man's  wisdom 
maketh  his  face  to  shine,  and  the 
boldness  of  his  face  shall  be 
changed,    p.  145. 

5  Whoso  keepeth  the  command- 
ment shall  feel  no  evil  thing;  and 
a  wise  man's  heart  discemeth 
both  time  and  judgment. 

6  Because  to  every  purpose  there 
is  time  and  judgment,  therefore 
the  misery  of  man  is  great  upon 
him. 

7  For  he  knoweth  not  that 
which  shall  be :  for  who  can  tell 
him  when  it  shall  be? 

8  There  is  no  man  that  hath 
power  over  the  spirit  to  retain  the 
spirit;  neither  hath  he  power  in 
the  day  of  death:  and  there  is  no 
discharge  in  that  war;  neither 
shall  wickedness  deliver  those 
that  are  given  to  it. 

9  All  this  have  I  seen,  and  ap- 
plied to  my  heart  unto  every 
work  that  is  done  mider  the  sim: 
there  is  a  time  wherein  one  man 
ruleth  over  another  to  his  own 
hurt.  ,        .  ,     J  , 

10  And  so  I  saw  the  wicked  bur- 
ied, who  had  come  and  gone  from

the  place  of  the  holy,  and  they 
were  forgotten  in  the  city  where 
they  had  so  done:  this  is  also 
vanity. 

II  Because  sentence  against  an 
evil  work  is  not  executed  speedily, 
therefore  the  heart  of  the  sons  of 
men  is  fully  set  in  them  to  do  evil. 

14  There  is  a  vanity  which  is 
done  upon  the  earth;  that  there 
be  just  men.  unto  whom  it  happen- 
eth  according  to  the  work  of  the 
wicked;  again,  there  be  wicked 
men,  to  whom  it  happeneth  accord- 
ing to  the  work  of  tlie  righteous:  I 
said  that  this  also  is  vanity. 

15  Then  I  commended  mirth,  be- 
cause a  man  hath  no  better  thing 
under  the  sun,  than  to  eat,  and  to 
drink,  and  to  be  merry:  for  that 
shall  abide  with  him  of  his  labour 
the  days  of  his  life. 

16  When  I  applied  mine  heart  to 
know  wisdom,  and  to  see  the  busi- 
ness that  is  done  upon  the  earth : 
(for  also  there  is  that  neither  day 
nor  nigh  t  seeth  sleep  with  his  eyes:) 

17  Then  I  beheld  all  the  work  of 
God,  that  a  man  cannot  find  out 
the  work  that  is  done  under  the 
sun:  because  though  a  man  labour 
to  seek  it  out,  yet  he  shall  not  find 
it;  yea  further;  though  a  wise 
man  think  to  know  it,  yet  shall  he 
not  be  able  to  find  it. 

Ec.  9—1  For  all  this  I  considered 
in  my  heart,  that  the  righteous, 
and  the  wise,  and  their  works,  are 
in  the  hand  of  God:  no  man  know- 
eth  either  love  or  hatred  by  all 
that  is  before  them. 

2  All  things  come  alike  to  all: 
there  is  one  event  to  the  right- 
eous, and  to  the  wicked  ■  to  the 
good  and  to  the  clean,  and  to  the 
unclean;  to  him  that  sacrificeth, 
and  to  him  that  sacrificeth  not: 
as  is  the  good,  so  is  the  sinner; 
and  he  that  sweareth,  as  he  that 
feareth  an  oath. 

3  This  is  an  evil  among  all  things 
that  are  done  under  the  sun,  that 
there  is  one  event  unto  all:  yea, 
also  the  heart  of  the  sons  of  men 
is  full  of  evil,  and  madness  is  in 
their  heart  while  they  live,  and 
after  tliat»theygo  to  the  dead. 

II I  returned,  and  saw  under  the 
sun,  that  the  race  is  not  to  the 
swift,  nor  the  battle  to  the  strong, 
neither  yet  bread  to  the  wise,  nor 
yet  riches  to  men  of  understand- 
ing, nor  yet  favour  to  men  of 
skill ;  but  time  and  chance  hap- 
peneth  to  them  all. 


12  For  man  aLsoknoweth  not  his 
time :  as  the  fishes  that  are  taken 
in  an  evil  net,  and  as  the  bird.s 
that  are  caught  in  the  snare;  so 
are  the  sons  of  men  snared  in 
an  evil  time,  when  it  falleth  sud' 
denly  upon  them. 

THE  POOR  WISE  MAN. 

13  This  wisdom  have  I  seen  also 
under  the  sun,  and  it  seemed 
great  unto  me : 

14  There  was  a  little  city,  and 
few  men  within  it;  and  there 
came  a  great  king  against  it,  and 
besieged  it,  and  uuilt  great  bul- 
warks against  it. 

15  Now  there  was  found  in  it  a 
poor  wise  man,  and  he  by  his  wis- 
dom delivered  the  city;  yet  no 
man  remembered  that  same  poor 
man. 

16  Then  said  I,  Wisdom  is  bet- 
ter than  strength:  nevertheless 
the  poor  man's  wisdom  isdespised. 
and  his  words  are  not  heard. 

17  The  words  of  wise  men  are 
heard  in  quiet  more  than  the  cry 
of  him  that  ruleth  among  fools. 

18  Wisdom  is  better  than  weap- 
ons of  war:  but  one  sinner  de- 
stroy eth  much  good. 

Ec.  11—7  Truly  the  light  is  sweet, 
and  a  pleasant  thing  it  is  for  the 
eyes  to  behold  the  sun : 

8  But  if  a  man  live  many  years, 
and  rejoice  in  them  all;  yet  let 
him  remember  the  days  of  dark- 
ness; for  they  shall  be  many.  All 
that  cometh  is  vanity. 

9  Rejoice,  O  young  man,  in  thy 
youth;  and  let  thy  heart  cheer 
thee  in  the  days  of  thy  youth,  and 
walk  in  the  ways  of  thme  heart, 
and  in  the  sight  of  thine  eyes:  but 
know  thou,  that  for  all  these 
things  God  will  bring  thee  into 
judgment. 

10  Therefore  remove  sorrow 
from  thy  heart,  and  put  away  evil 
from  thy  tlesh :  for  childhood  and 
youth  are  vanity. 

Ec.  12—5  Man  goeth  to  his  long 
home,  and  the  mourners  go  about 
the  streets,    p.  57. 

13  Let  us  hear  the  conclusion  of 
the  whole  matter:  Fear  God,  and 
keep  his  commandments:  for  this 
is  the  whole  duty  of  man. 

14  For  God  shall  bring  every 
work  into  judgment,  with  every 
secret  thing,  whether  it  be  good, 
or  whether  it  be  evil.  See  also 
Ec.  10. 14,  p.  93.

Mat.  8—20  Jes-us  saith  unto  him, 
The  foxes  have  holes,  and  the 
hirds  of  the  air  have  nests ;  hut  the 
Son  of  man  hath  not  where  to  lay

the  good  treasure  of  the  heart 
bringeth  forth  good  things:  and 
an  e\il  man  out  of  the  evil  treas- 
ure bringeth  forth  evil  things. 

Mat.  4— 10  Jesus  saith  unto  them. 
Follow  me,  and  1  will  make  you 
fishers  of  men. 

Mat.  7— 12  All  things  whatsoever 
ye  would  that  men  slujuld  do  to 
you,  do  ye  even  so  to  them :  for 
this  is  the  law  and  the  prophets. 

Lu. «— 31  And  as  ye  would  that 
men  should  do  to  you,  do  ye  also 
to  them  likewise. 

Lu.  11—21  When  a  strong  man 
armed  keepeth  his  palace,  his 
goods  are  in  peace : 

22  But  when  a  stronger  than  he 
shall  come  upon  him,  and  over- 
come him,hetaketh  from  him  all 
his  armour  wherein  he  trusted, 
and  divideth  his  spoils.  8ee  Mar.

Lu.  10—15  And  .Jesus  baid  unto 
them.  Ye  are  they  which  justify 
yourselves  before  men;  but  (xod 
knoweth  your  hearts:  for  that 
which  is  highly  esteemed  among 
men  is  aVxjmination  iii  the  sight 
of (xod. 

Lu.  22—22  And  truly  the  Son  of 
man  goeth,  as  it  was  determined : 
but  woe  unto  that  man  by  whom 
ho  is  betrayed ! 


Jno. '  :i— 27  John  answered,  A 
man  can  receive  nothing,  except' 
it  be  given  him  from  heaven. 

Jno.  12— 2C  If  any  man  serve  me, 
let  him  foMoW  me;  and  where  I 
am,  there  slidll  also  iny  servant 
be :  if  any  nian  serve  me,  him  will 
my  Father  honour.

the  earth,  will  draw  all  men  unto 
m  e. 

.'*4  The  people  answered  him.  We 
have  heard  out  of  the  law  that 
Christ  abideth  for  ever:  and  how 
sayestthou,  The  Son  of  man  must 
be  lifted  up?  who  is  this  Son  of 
man?    p.  17.^:  Mi.  4.  7,>.  4C8. 

4.3  For  they  loved  the  praise  of 
men  more  than  the  jiraise  of  God. 

Ro.  .V— 7  For  Sf;arcely  for  a  right- 
eous man  will  one  die:  yet  perad- 
\enture  for  a  good  man  some 
would  even  dare  to  die. 

Ro.  12—3  For  I  say.  tlrrough  the 
grace  given  unto  me,  to  every  man 
that  is  among  you,  not  to  tiiink 
of  himself  more  highly  than  he 
ought  to  think ;  but  to  think  sob- 
erly, according  as  God  hath  dealt 
to  every  man  the  mea.sure  of 
faith. 

16  Be  of  the  same  mind  one  to- 
ward another.  Mind  not  high 
tilings,  but  condescend  to  men  of 
low  estate.  Be  not  wi.se  in  your 
own  conceits. 

17  Recompen.se  to  no  man  evil 
for  e vil .  Provide  things  honest  in 
the  sight  of  all  men.

but  to  love  one  another. 

Ro.  14—5  One  man  es-teeraeth  one

teemeth  every  day  alike.  Let

17  If  any  man  defale  the  temple 
of  God,  him  shall  God  destroy; 
for  the  temple  of  God  is  holy, 
which  temple  ye  are. . 

18  Let  no  man  deceive  himself. 
If  any  man  among  you  seemetti 
to  be  wise,  let  him  become  a  fool, 
that  he  may  be  wise.    p.  309- 

1  Co.  6—5 1  speak  to  your  shame. 
Is  it  so,  that  there  is  not  a  wise 
man  among  you?  no,  not  one  that 
shall  be  able  to  judge  between 
his  brethren?    See  l  Co.  7,  p.  50. 

1  Co.  8—2  And  if  any  man  think 
that  he  knoweth  any  thing,  he 
kuoweth  nothing  yet  as  he  ought 
to  know.  ,         ,>,   J  XV

same  is  known  of  him.     ^,     . 

1  Co.  9—19  For  though  I  be  free 
from  all  men,  yet  have  1  made 
myself  servant  unto  all,  that  1 
might  gain  the  more.  p.  5, 6,  and 
232 

l'  Co.  10—15  I  speak  as  to  wise 
men :  judge  ye  what  I  say. 

24  Let  no  man  seek  his  own,  but 
every  man  another's  wealth. 

1  Co.  15—21  For  since  by  man 
came  death,  by  man  came  also 
the  resurrection  of  the  dead. 

22  For  as  in  Adam  all  die,  even 
so.  in  Christ  shall  all   be  made 

45  And  so  it  is  written,  The  first 
man  Adam  was  made  a  living 
soul ;  the  last  Adam  was  made  a 
quickening  spirit.  .      ,    ,         _^, 

47  The  first  man  is  of  the  earth, 
earthy:  the  second  man  is  the 
Lord  from  heaven. 

48  As  is  the  earthy,  such  are 
they  also  that  are  earthy :  and  as 
is  the  heavenly,  such  are  they 
also  that  are  heavenly. 

49  And  as  we  have  borne  the 
image  of  the  earthy,  we  shall 
also  bear  the  image  of  the  heav- 
enly. „         ,  .  , 

2  Co.  4—16  For  which  cause  we 
faint  not;  but  though  our  out- 
ward man  perish,  yet  the  inward 
man  is  renewed  day  by  day. 

2  Co.  7—2  Receive  us ;  we  have 
wronged  no  man,  we  liave  cor- 
rupted no  man,  we  have  de- 
frauded no  man. 

2  Co.  8—12  For  if  there  be  first  a 
willing  mind,  it  is  accepted  ac- 
cording to  that  a  man  hath,  and 
not  according  to  that  he  hath 
not. 


13  For  I  mean  not  that  other 
men  be  eased,  and  ye  burdened. 

Gal.  6—1  Brethren,  if  a  man  be 
overtaken  in  a  fault,  ye  which  are 
spiritual,  restore  such  a  one  m  the 
spirit  of  meekness;  considering 
thyself,  lest  thou  also  be  tempted. 

2  Bear  ye  one  another's  burdens, 
and  so  fulfil  the  law  of  Christ. 

3  For  if  a  man  think  himself  to 
be  something,  when  he  isnothmg, 
he  deceivetli  himself.  . 

4  But  let  every  man  prove  his 
own  work,  and  then  shall  he  have 
rejoicing  in  himself  alone,  and  not 
in  another.  ,    ,,  ,         ,  . 

5  For  every  man  shall  bear  his 
own  burden. 

10  As  we  have  therefore  oppor- 
tunity, let  us  do  good  unto  all 
men.  especially  unto  thein  who 
are  of  the  household  of  faith.  . 

Ep.  4—25  Wherefore  putting 
away  lying,  speak  every  man 
truth  with  his  neighbour:  for  we 
are  members  one  of  another. 

Ep.  5—6  Let  no  man  deceive  you 
with  vain  words:  for  because  of 
these  things  cometh  the  wrath  pt 
God  upon  the  children  of  dis- 
obedience. ,  ^,  . 

Ep.  6—8  Whatsoever  good  thing 
any  man  doeth,  the  same  shall  he 
receive  of  the  Lord,  whether  he 
be  bond  or  free. 

Phi.  2—4  Look  not  every  man  on 
his  own  things,  but  every  man 
also  on  the  things  of  others. 

Col.  2—8  Beware  lest  any  man 
spoil  you  through  philosophy  and 
vam  deceit,  after  the  tradition  of 
men,  after  the  rudiments  of  the 
world,  and  not  after  Christ. . 

16  Let  no  man  therefore  judge 
you  m  meat,  or  in  drink,  or  in  re- 


spect of  a  holyday,  or  of  the  new 
moon,  or  of  the  sabbath  days. 

18  Let  no  man  beguile  you  pi 
your  reward  in  a  volmitary  humil- 
ity and  worshipping  of  angels. 

Col.  3—9  Lie  not  one  to  another, 
seeing  that  ye  have  nut  off  the 
old  man  with  his  deeds; 

10  And  have  put  on  the  new 
man,  which  is  renewed  m  knowl- 
edge after  the  image  of  him  that 
created  him.         ,       ,         j  j     ,

pure.  .     .  ,

ment; and  some  men  they  follow

1  Ti.  6—5  Perverse  disputings  of 
men  of  corrupt  minds,  and  desti- 
tute of  the  truth,  supposing  tliat 
gain  is  godliness:  from  such  with- 
draw thyself. 

6  But  godliness  with  content- 
ment is  great  gain.    p.  54. 

2  Ti.  2—2  And  the  things  that 
thou  hast  heard  of  me  among 
many  witnesses,  the  same  com- 
mit thou  to  faithful  men,  who 
shall  be  able  to  teach  others  also. 

3  Thou  therefore  endure  hard- 
ness, as  a  good  soldier  of  Jesus 
Christ.

gleth  himself  with  the  affairs  of 
this  life;  that  he  may  please  him 
who  hath  chosen  him  to  be  a 
soldier.

masteries,  yet  is  he  not  crowned, 
except  he  strive  lawfully.

draw  back  unto  perdition ;  but  of 
them  that  believe  to  the  savmg 
of  the  soul.

church  of  the  firstborn,  which  are 
written  in  heaven,  and  to  God  the 
Judge  of  all,  and  to  the  spirits  of 
just  men  made  perfect,    p.  116. 

Ja.  1—8  A  doubleminded  man  is 
unstable  in  all  his  ways. 

9  Let  the  brother  of  low  degree 
rejoice  in  that  he  is  exalted : 

10  But  the  rich,  in  that  he  is 


made  low :  because  as  the  flower 
of  the  grass  he  shall  pass  away. 

11  For  the  sun  is  no  sooner  risen 
with  a  burning  heat,  but  it  with- 
ereth  the  grass?,  and  the  flower 
thereof  falleth,  and  the  grace  of 
the  fashion  of  it  perisheth:  so  also 
shall  the  rich  man  fade  away  in 
his  ways, 

12  Blessed  is  the  man  that  en- 
dureth  temptation:  for  when  he 
is  tried,  he  snail  receive  the  crown 
of  life,  which  the  Lord  hath 
promised  to  them  that  love  him. 

13  Let  no  man  say  when  he  is 
tempted,  I  am  tempted  of  God: 
for  God  caimot  be  tempted  with 
evil,  neither  tempteth  he  any 
man: 

14  But  every  man  is  tempted, 
when  he  is  drawn  away  of  his 
own  lust,  and  enticed. 

15  Then  when  lust  hath  con- 
ceived, it  bringeth  forth  sin;  and 
sin,  when  it  is  finished,  bringeth 
forth  death. 

16  Do  not  err,  my  beloved 
brethren. 

19  Wherefore  my  beloved  breth- 
ren, let  every  man  he  swift  to 
hear,  slow  to  speak,  slow  to  wrath : 

20  For  the  wrath  of  man  work- 
eth  not  the  rigjhteousness  of  God. 

Ja.  3 — 2  For  in  many  things  we 
offend  all.  If  any  man  offend  not 
in  word,  the  same  is  a  perfect 
man,  and  able  also  to  bridle  the 
whole  body. 

13  Who  IS  a  wise  man  and  en- 
dued with  knowledge  among 
you?  let  him  shew  out  of  a  good 
conversation .  his  works  with 
meekness  of  wisdom. 

1  Pe.  4—10  As  every  man  hath 
received  the  gift,  so  minister  the 
same  one  to  another,  as  good 
stewards  of  the  manifold  grace  of 
God. 

11  If  any  man  speak,  let  him 
speak  as  the  oracles  of  God ;  if 
any  man  minister,  let  him  do  it  as 
of  the  ability  which  God  giveth. 

2  Pe.  2 — 19  While  they  promise 
them  liberty,  they  themselves  are 
the  servants  of  corruption:  for  of 
whom  a  man  is  overcome,  of  the 
same  is  he  brought  in  bondage. 

Jude  1—4  For  there  are  certain 
men  crept  in  miawares,  who  were 
before  of  old  ordained  to  this  con- 
demnation, ungodly  men,  turning 
the  grace  of  our  God  into  lasciv- 
iousness,  and  denying  the  only 
Lord  God,  and  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ.

worthy  of  me:  and  he  that  loveth 
son  or  daughter  more  than  me  is 
not  worthy  of  me. 

Mat.  11—27  All  things  are  deliv- 
ered unto  me  of  my  Father:  and 
no  man  kuoweth  the  Son,  but  the 
Father ;  neither  knoweth  any  man 
the  Father,  save  the  Son,  and  he 
to  whomsoever  the  Son  will  reveal 
him. 

Mat.  23—9  Call  no  man  your 
father  upon  the  earth :  for  one  is 
your  Father,  which  is  in  heaven. 

Lu.  12—53  The  father  shall  be 
divided  against  the  son.  and  the 
son  against  the  father;  the  moth- 
er against  the  daughter,  and  the 
daughter  against  the  mother;  the 
mother  in  law  against  her  daugh- 
ter in  law,  and  the  daughter  in 
law  against  her  mother  m  law. 

Eze.  16—44  Every  one  that  useth 
proverbs  shall  use  this  proverb 
against  thee,  saying.  As  is  the 
mother,  so  is  her  daughter.

pure,  and  whether  it  be  right.

Mat.  10—42  And  whosoever  shall 
give  to  drink  unto  one  of  these 
little  onesacupof  cold  water  only 
in  the  name  of  a  disciple,  verily  I 
say  unto  you,  he  shall  in  no  wise 
lose  ills  reward. 

Mat.  18—1  At  the  same  time 
came  the  disciples  unto  Jesus, 
saying.  Who  is  the  greatest  in  the 
kingdom  of  heaven? 

2  And  Jesus  called  a  little  child 
unto  him.aud  set  him  in  the  midst 
of  them, 

3  And  said.  Verily  I  say  unto  you. 
Except  ye  be  convei-ted,  and  be- 
come as  little  children,  ye  shall 
not  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
heaven. 

4  Whosoever  therefore  shall 
humble  himself  as  this  little 
child,  the  same  is  greatest  in  the 
kingdom  of  heaven. 

5  And  whoso  shall  receive  one 
such  little  child  in  my  name  re- 
ceiveth  me. 

6  But  whoso  shall  offend  one  of 
the.se  little  ones  whicli  believe  in 
me,  it  were  better  for  him  that  a 
millstone  were  hanged  about  his 
neck,  and  that  lie  were  drowned 
in  the  depth  of  the  sea. 

10  Take  heed  that  ye  despise  not 
one  of  these  little  ones;  for  I  say 
mito  you.  That  in  heaven  their 
angels  do  always  behold  the  face 
of  my  Father  which  is  tn  heaven. 

Mar.  10—13  They  brought  young 
children  to  him,  that  he  should 
touch  them;  and  his  disciples re- 
bulied  those  that  brought  them. 

14  But  when  Jesussaw  it,  he  was 
much  displeased,  and  said.  Suffer 
the  little  children  to  come  unto 
me,  and  forbid  them  not;  for  of 
such  is  the  kingdom  of  God. 

15  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Whoso- 
ever shall  not  receive  the  king- 
dom of  God  as  a  little  child,  he 
shall  not  enter  therein.

from  thence  unto  Beth-el:  and  as 
he  was  going  up  by  the  way,  there 
came  forth  little  children  out  of 
the  city,  and  mocked  him,  and 
said  unto  him,  Go  up,  thou  bald  ,

24  And  he  turned  back,  and,,

Where  is  corn  and  wine?  when 
they  swooned  as  the  womided, 
when  their  soul  was  pom-ed  out 
into  their  mothers'  bosom. 

19  Arise,  cry  out  in  the  night: 
in  the  begmning  of  the  watches 
pour  out  thine  heart  like  water 
before  the  face  of  the  Lord:  lift 
up  thy  hands  toward  him  for  the 
life  of  thy  young  children,  that 
faint  for  hunger  in  the  top  of 
every  street. 

20  Behold,  O  Lord,  and  consider 
to  whom  thou  hast  done  this. 
Shall  the  women  eat  their  fruit, 
and  children  of  a  span  long?  shall 
the  priest  and  the  prophet  be  slain 
in  the  sanctuary  of  the  Lord? 

21  The  young  and  the  old  lie  on 
the  ground  in  the  streets :  my  vir- 
gins and  my  young  men  are  fallen 
by  the  sword;  thou  hast  slain 
them  in  the  day  of  thine  anger; 
thou  hast  killed,  and  not  pitied.

breaketh  it  unto  them.

17  Then  was  fulfilled  that  which 
was  spoken  by  Jeremy  the  proph- 
et, saying. 

18  In  Kama  was  there  a  voice 
heard,  lamentation,  and  weeping, 
and  great  mourning,  Rachel  weep- 
ing for  her  children,  and  would 
not  he  comforted,  because  they 
are  not. 

Je.  31—15  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; 
A  voice  was  heard  in  Ramah, 
lamentation,  and  bitter  weeping; 
Rachel  weeping  for  her  children 
refused  to  be  comforted  for  her 
children,  because  they  were  not. 

16  Refrain  thy  voice  from  weep- 
ing, and  thine  eyes  from  tears: 
for  thy  work  shall  be  rewarded, 
saith  the  Lord;  and  they  shall 
come  again  from  the  land  of  the 
enemy.

tender  and  only  beloved  in  the 
sight  of  my  mother.

unto  me,  Let  thine  heart  retain

and  that,  when  they  have  chas- 
tened him,  will  not  hearken  unto 
them : 

19  Then  shall  his  father  and  his 
mother  lay  hold  on  him,  and  bring 
him  out  unto  the  elders  of  his 
city,  and  unto  the  gate  of  his 
place ; 

20  And  they  shall  say  mito  the 
elders  of  his  city.  This  om'  son  is 
stubborn  and  rebellious,  he  will 
iu)t  obey  our  voice ;  he  is  a  glut- 
ton, and  a  drunkard. 

21  And  all  the  men  of  his  city 
shallstone  him  with  stones,  that 
he  die:  so  shalt  thou  put  evil 
away  from  among  you;  and  all 
Israel  shall  hear,  and  fear. 

Le.  24—10  And  the  son  of  an  Is- 
raelitish  woman,  whose  father 
was  an  Egyptian,  and  a  man  of 
Israel  strove  together  in  the 
camp ; 

11  And  the  Israelitish  woman's 
son  blasphemed  the  name  of  the 
Lord  and  cursed.  And  thev 
brought  him  unto  INIoses:  (and  his 
mother's  name  was  Shelomitli), 

12  And  they  put  him  in  ward, 
that  the  mhid  of  the  Lord  might 
be  shewed  them. 

13  And  the  Lord  spake  imto 
Moses,  saying, 

14  Bring  forth  him  that  hath 
cursed  without  the  camp:  and  let 
all  tliat  heard  him  lay  their  hands 
upon  his  head,  and  let  all  the  con- 
gregation stone  him. 

15  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto 
the  children  of  Israel,  .saving, 
Whosoever  curseth  his  God  shall 
bear  his  sin. 

16  And  he  that  blasphemeth  the

name  of  the  Lord,  he  shall  surelv 
be  put  to  death,  and  all  the  coii- 
gregation  shall  certainly  stone 
bim:  as  well  the  stranger,  as  he 
that  IS  born  in  the  land. 

23  And  Moses  spake  to  the  chil- 
dren of  Lsrael,  that  they  should 
bring  forth  him  that  had  cursed 
out  of  the  camp,  and  stone  him: 
and  the  children  of  Lsrael  did  as 
the  Lord  commanded  Moses.

29  He  answered  and  said,  I  will 
not;  but  afterward  he  repented, 
and  went^ 

M  And  he  came  to  the  second, 
and  said  likewise.  And  he  an- 
swered and  said,  I  go,  sir;  and 
went  not. 

31  Whether  of  them  twain  did 
the  will  of  his  father?  Thev  ,sav 
luito  him.  The  lirst.  Jesus  saith 
unto  them  Verily  I  .say  unto 
you,  Ihat  the  publicans  and  the 
harlots  go  into  the  kingdom  of\ 
Crod  before  you. 

32  For  John  came  unto  you  hi 
the  way  of  righteousness,  ami  ve 
believed  him  not;  but  the  publi- 
cans and  the  harlots  believed 
him :  and  ye,  when  ye  had  seen  it, 
repented  not  afterward,  that  ye 
might  believe  him. 


Lu.  15— 11  And  he  said,  A  certain 
man  had  two  sous: 

12  And»the  younger  of  them  said 
to  his  father.  Father,  give  me  the 
portion  of  goods  that  falleth  to 
me.  And  he  divided  unto  them 
his  livmg. 

13  And  not  many  days  after  the 
younger  son  gathered  all  together, 
and  took  his  journey  into  a  far 
coimtry,  and  there  wasted  his  sub- 
stance with  riotous  living. 

14  And  when  he  had  spent  all, 
there  arose  a  mightv  famine  in 
that  land;  and  he  began  to  be  in 
want. 

15  And  he  went  and  joined  him- 
self to  a  citizen  of  that  country 
and  he  sent  him  into  his  fields  to 
teed  swine. 

.10  And  he  would  fain  have  filled 
his  belly  with  the  husks  that  the 
swine  did  eat:  and  no  mau  gave 
unto  him. 

17  And  when  he  came  to  himself 
he  said.  How  many  hired  servants 


M 


of  my  father's  have  hread  enougli 
and  to  spare,  and  I  perish  with 
hunger. 

18  I  will  arise  and  go  to  my  fa- 
ther, and  will  say  unto  him.  Fa- 
ther. I  have  sinned  against  heav- 
en, and  hefore  thee, 

10  And  am  no  more  worthy  to  he 
called  thy  son:  make  me  as  one 
of  thy  hired  servants. 

20  And  he  arose,  and  came  to 
his  father'.  But  when  he  was  yet 
a  great  way  off,  his  father  saw 
him, and  had  compassion,  and  ran, 
and  fell  on  his  neck,  and  kissed 
him. 

21  And  the  son  said  unto  him. 
Father,  I  have  sinned  against 
heaven,  and  in  thy  sight,  and  am 
no  more  worthy  to  be  called  thy 
son. 

22  But  the  father  said  to  his 
servants.  Bring  forth  the  best 
robe,  and  put  it  on  him ;  and  put 
a  ring  on  his  hand,  and  shoes  on 
his  feet: 

23  And  bring  hither  the  fatted 
calf,  and  kill  it;  and  let  us  eat, 
and  he  merry: 

24  For  this  my  son  was  dead, 
and  is  alive  again ;  he  was  lost, 
and  is  found.  And  they  began  to 
be  men-y. 

2.5  Now  his  elder  son  was  m  the 
field:  and  as  he  came  and  drew 
nigh  to  the  house,  he  heard  music 
and  dancing. 

26  And  he  called  one  of  the  serv- 
ants, and  asked  what  these  things 
meant. 

27  And  he  said,  Thy  brother  is 
come :  and  thy  father  hath  killed 
tlie  fatted  calf,  because  he  hath 
received  him  safe  and  somid. 

28  And  he  was  angry,and  would 
not  go  in:  therefore  came  his  fa- 
ther out,  and  entreated  him. 

29  And  he  an.swering  said  to  his 
father,  Lo,  these  many  years  do  I 
serve  thee,  neither  transgressed  I 
at  any  time  thy  commandment; 
and  yet  thou  never  gavest  me  a 
kid.that  I  might  make  merry  with 
my  fi'iends: 

30  But  as  soon  as  this  thy  son 
was  come,  which  hath  devoured 
thy  living  with  harlots,  thou  hast 
killed  for  him  the  fatted  calf. 

31  And  he  said  unto  him,  Son, 
thou  art  ever  with  me,aud  all  that 
I  have  is  thine. 

32  It  was  meet  that  we  should 
make  meiTy,  and  be  glad :  for  this 
thy  brother  was  dead,  and  is  alive 
again ;  and  was  lost,  and  is  found.

in  all,  and  the  bed  undefiled :  but 
whoremongers  and  adulterers 
God  will  judge. 

De.  22—13  If  any  man  take  a 
wife,  and  go  in  unto  her,  and  hate 
her, 

14  And  give  occasions  of  speech 
against  her,  and  bring  up  an  evil 
name  upon  her,  and  say,  I  took 
this  woman,  and  when  I  came  to 
her,  I  found  her  not  a  maid: 

15  Then  shall  the  father  of  the 
damsel,  and  her  mother,  take  and 
bring  forth  the  tokens  of  the  dam- 
sel's virginity  unto  the  elders  of 
the  city  in  the  gate: 

16  And  the  damsel's  father  shall 
say  unto  the  elders,  1  gave  my 
daughter  unto  this  man  to  wife, 
and  he  hateth  her; 

17  And,  lo,  he  hath  given  occa- 
sions of  speech  against  her,saying, 
I  found  not  thy  daughter  a  maid ; 
and  yet  these  are  the  tokens  of  my 
daughter's  virginity.  And  they 
shall  spreivd  the  cloth  before  the 
elders  of  the  city. 

18  And  the  elders  shall  take 
that  man  and  chastise  him ; 

19  And  amerce  him  in  a  hundred 
shekels  of  silver,  and  give  them 
unto  the  father  of  the  damsel,  be- 
cause he  hath  brought  up  an  evil 
name  upon  a  virgin  of  Israel :  and 
she  shall  be  his  M'ife;  he  may  not 
put  her  away  all  his  days. 

20  But  if  this  thing:  be  true,  and 
the  tokens  of  virginity  be  not 
found  for  the  damsel: 

21  Then  they  shall  bring  out  the 
damsel  to  the  door  of  her  father's 
house,  and  the  men  of  her  city 
shall  stone  her  with  stones  that 
she  die ;  because  she  hath  wrought 
folly  in  Israel,  to  play  the  whore 
in  her  father'shouse :  so  shalt  thou 
put  evil  away  from  among  you. 

22  If  a  man  be  found  lying  with 
a  woman  married  to  a  husband, 
then  they  shall  both  of  them  die, 
both  the  man  and  woman.

24  Then  ye  shall  bring  them

and  ve  shall  stone  them  with 
stones  that  they  die ;  the  damsel, 
becaiise  she  cried  not,  being  in  the 
city :  and  the  man,  because  he  hath 
humbled  his  neighbour's  wif  e : 

25  But  if  a  man  find  a  betrothed 
damsel  in  the  field,  and  the  man 
force  her,  and  lie  with  her-  then 
the  man  only  that  lay  with  her

a  virgin,  which  is  not  betrothed, 
and  lay  hold  on  her,  and  lie  with 
her,  and  they  be  found ; 

29  Then  the  man  that  lay  with 
her  shall  give  unto  the  damsel's 
father  fifty  shekels  of  silver,  and 
she  shall  be  his  wife ;  because  he 
hath  humbled  her,  he  may  not  put 
her  away  all  his  days. 

De.  24—1  When  a  man  hath 
taken  a  wife,  and  married  her, 
and  it  come  to  pass  that  she  find 
no  favour  in  his  eyes,  because  he 
hath  foxmd  some  uncleanness  in 
her:  then  let  him  write  her  a  bill 
of  divorcement,  and  give  it  in  her 
hand,  and  send  her  out  of  his 
house.  .    ,  ,       ^ 

2  And  when  she  is  departed  out 
of  his  house,  she  may  go  and  be 
another  man's  wife. 

3  And  if  the  latter  husband  hate 
her,  and  write  her  a  bill  of  divorce- 
ment, and  giveth  it  in  her  hand, 
and  sendeth  her  out  of  his  house ; 
or  if  the  latter  husband  die,  which 
took  her  to  be  his  wife ; 

4  Her  former  husband,  which 
sent  her  away,  may  not  take  her 
again  to  be  his  wife,  after  that  she 
is  defiled ;  for  that  is  abomination 
before  the  Lord.    p.  403. 

Mat.  5—31  It  hath  been  said, 
Whosoever  shall  put  away  his 
wife,  let  him  give  her  a  writing  of 
divorcement :  ^, 

32  But  I  say  imto  you.  That  who- 
soever shall  put  away  his  wife, 
saving  for  the  cause  of  fornica- 
tion, causeth  her  to  commit  adul- 
tery: and  whosoever  shall  marry 
her  that  is  divorced  committeth 
adultery.  ^, 

Mat.  19—3  The  Pharisees  came, 
tempting  him,  and  saying.  Is  it 
lawful  for  a  man  to  put  away  his 
wife  for  every  cause? 


4  And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Have  ye  not  read,  that  he 
which  made  them  at  the  begin- 
ning made  them  male  and  female, 

5  And  said.  For  this  cause  shall 
a  man  leave  father  and  mother, 
and  shall  cleave  to  his  wife :  and 
they  twain  shall  be  one  nesh? 

6  Wherefore  they  are  no  more 
twain,  but  one  flesh.  What  there- 
fore God  hath  joined  together,  let 
not  man  put  asunder.  . 

7  They  say  imto  him,  Why  did 
Moses  then  command  to  give  a 
writing  of  divorcement,  and  to 
put  her  away? 

8  He  saith  unto  them,  Moses  be- 
cause of  the  hardness  of  your 
hearts  suffered  you  to  put  away 
your  wives:  but  from  the  begm- 
iiing  it  was  not  so. 

9  And  I  say  unto  you.  Whoso- 
ever shall  put  away  his  wife,  ex- 
cept it  be  for  fornication,  and 
shall  marry  another,  committeth 
adultery:  and  whoso  marrieth 
her  which  is  put  away  doth  com- 
mit adultery.  . 

10  His  disciples  say  unto  him,  It 
the  case  of  the  man  be  so  with  his 
wife,  it  is  not  good  to  marry. 

11  But  he  said  unto  them,  AH 
men  cannot  receive  this  saying, 
save  they  to  whom  it  is  given. 
Verse  12,  p.  89.         ,  ,      ,,  . 

De.  25—5  If  brethren  dwell  to- 
gether, and  one  of  them  die.  and 
have  no  child,  the  wife  of  the 
dead  shall  not  marry  without 
rmto  a  stranger:  her  husbands 
brother  shall  go  in  unto  her,  and 
take  her  to  him  to  wife,  and  per- 
form the  duty  of  a  husband's 
brother  unto  her. 

6  And  it  shall  be,  that  the  first- 
born which  she  beareth  shall  suc- 
ceed in  the  name  of  his  brother 
which  is  dead,  that  his  name  be 
not  put  out  of  Israel. 

7  And  if  the  man  like  not  to  take 
his  brother's  wife,  then  let  his 
brother's  wife  go  up  to  the  gate 
imto  the  elders,  and  say.  My  hus- 
band's brother  refuseth  to  raise 
up  unto  his  brother  a  name  in  Is- 
rael, he  will  not  perform  the  duty 
of  my  husband's  brother.    . 

8  Then  the  elders  of  his  city 
shall  call  him,  and  speak  unto 
him:  and  if  he  .stand  to  it,  and 
say,  I  like  not  to  take  her; 

9  Then  shall  his  brother's  wife 
come  unto  him  in  the  presence  of 
the  elders,  and  loose  his  shoe  from

off  his  foot,  and  spit  in  his  face, 
and  shall  answer  and  say,  So  shall 
it  be  done  unto  that  man  that  will 
not  build  up  his  brother's  house. 

10  And  his  name  shall  be  called 
in  Israel,  The  house  of  him  that 
hath  his  shoe  loosed. 

Mat.  22—23  The  same  day  came 
to  him  the  .Sadducees,  which  say 
that  there  is  no  resui-rectiou,  and 
asked  him, 

24  Sayuig  Master,  Moses  said, 
If  a  man  die,  having  no  children, 
his  brother  shall  marry  his  wife, 
and  raise  up  seed  unto  his  brother. 

25  Now  there  were  with  us  seven 
brethren:  and  the  tirst,  when  he 
had  married  a  wife,  deceased,  and, 
having  no  issue,  left  his  wife  unto 
his  brother: 

26  Likewise  the  second  also,  and 
the  third,  unto  the  seventh. 

27  And  last  of  all  the  woman  died 
also. 

28  Therefore  in  the  resurrection, 
whose  wife  shall  she  be  of  the 
seven?  for  they  all  had  her. 

29  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Ye  do  eiT,  not  knowuig  the 
Scriptures,  nor  the  power  of  God. 

30  For  in  the  resuri'ection  they 
neither  marry,  nor  are  given  in 
marriage,  but  are  as  the  angels  of 
God  in  heaven.    Lu.  20,  p.  247. 

1  Co.  7—1  Now  concerning  the 
things  whereof  ye  wrote  unto  me : 
It  is  good  for  a  man  not  to  touch 
a  woman. 

2  Nevertheless,  to  avoid  fornica- 
tion, let  every  man  have  his  own 
wife,  and  let  every  woman  have 
her  own  husband. 

3  Let  the  husband  render  iinto 
the  wife  due  benevolence:  and 
likewise  also  the  wife  unto  the 
husband. 

4  The  wife  hath  not  power  of  her 
own  body,  but  the  husband :  and 
likewise  also  the  husband  hath 
not  power  of  his  own  body,  but 
the  wife. 

5  Defraud  ye  not  one  the  other, 
except  it  be  with  consent  for  a 
time,  that  ye  may  give  yourselves 
to  fasting  and  prayer;  and  come 
together  again,  that  Satan  tempt 
you  not  for  your  incontinency. 

6  But  I  speak  this  by  this  permis- 
sion, and  not  of  commandment. 

7  For  I  would  that  all  men  were 
even  as  I  myself.  But  every  man 
hath  his  proper  gift  of  God,  one 
after  this  manner,  and  another 
after  that. 


8  I  say  therefore  to  the  unmar- 
ried and  widows.  It  is  good  for 
them  if  they  abide  even  as  I. 

9  But  if  they  cannot  contain,  let 
them  marry:  for  it  is  better  to 
marry  than  to  burn. 

10  And  unto  the  married  I  com- 
mand, yet  not  I,  but  the  Lord, 
Let  not  the  wife  depart  fi"om  her 
husband: 

11  But  and  if  she  depart,  let  her 
remain  unmarried,  or  be  recon- 
ciled to  her  husband:  and  let  not 
the  husband  put  away  his  wife. 

12  But  to  the  rest  speak  I,  not 
the  Lord:  If  any  brother  hath  a 
wife  that  believeth  not,  and  she 
be  pleased  to  dwell  with  him,  let 
him  not  put  her  away. 

13  And  the  woman  which  hath  a 
husband  that  believeth  not,  and 
if  he  be  pleased  to  dwell  with 
her,  let  her  not  leave  him. 

14  For  the  unbelieving  husband 
is  sanctified  by  the  wife,  and  the 
lonbelieviug  wife  is  sanctified  by 
the  husband:  else  were  your  chil- 
dren unclean ;  but  now  are  they 
holy. 

15  But  if  the  unbelievuig  depart, 
let  him  depart.  A  brother  or  a 
sister  is  not  under  bondage  in 
such  cases:  but  God  hath  called 
us  to  peace. 

16  For  what  knowest  thou.  O 
wife,  whether  thou  shalt  save  thy 
husband?  or  how  knowest  thou, 

0  man,  whether  thou  shalt  save 
thy  wife?    p.  50. 

25  Now  concerning  virgins  I 
have  no  commandment  of  the 
Lord:  yet  I  give  my  judgment, 
as  one  that  hath  obtained  mercy 
of  the  Lord  to  be  faithful. 

26  I  suppose  therefore  that  this 
is  good  for  the  present  distress, 

1  say,  that  it  is  good  for  a  man  so 
to  be. 

27  Art  thou  bound  unto  a  wife? 
seek  not  U>  be  loosed.  Art  thou 
loosed  from  a  wife?  seek  not  a 
wife. 

28  But  and  if  thou  man-y.  thou 
hast  not  sinned;  and  if  a  virgin 
marry,  she  hath  not  sinned.  Nev- 
ertheless such  shall  have  trouble 
in  the  flesh :  but  I  spare  you. 

29  But  this  I  say.  brethren,  the 
time  is  short:  it  remaineth,  that 
both  they  that  have  wives  be  as 
though  they  had  none ; 

,30  And  they  that  weep,  as  though 
they  wept  not ;  and  they  that  re- 
joice, as  though  they  rejoiced  not ; 


M 


208 


M 


aud  they  that  buy,  as  though  they 
possessed  not ; 

31  And  they  that  use  this  world, 
as  not  abusing  it:  for  the  fashion 
of  this  world  passeth  away. 

32  But  I  would  have  you  without 
carefulness.  He  that  is  unmarried 
careth  for  the  things  that  belong 
to  the  Lord,  how  he  may  please 
the  Lord : 

33  But  he  that  is  married  careth 
for  the  things  that  are  of  the 
worldjhow  he  may  please  his  wife. 

31  There  is  difference  also  be- 
tween a  wife  and  a  virgin.  The 
unmarried  woman  careth  for  the 
things  of  the  Lord,  that  she  mav 
be  holy  both  in  body  and  =n  spirit : 
but  she  that  is  married  careth  for 
the  things  of  the  world,  how  she 
may  please  her  husband. 

35  And  this  1  speak  for  vour  own 
profit ;  not  that  I  may  cast  a  snare 
upon  you,  but  for  that  which  is 
comely,  and  that  ye  mar  attend 
upon  the  Lord  without  distraction. 

36  But  if  any  man  think  that  he 
behaveth  himself  uncomely  to- 
ward his  virgin,  if  she  pass  the 
flower  of  her  age,  and  need  so  re- 
quire, let  him  do  what  he  will,  he 
smneth  not:  let  them  marry. 

37  Nevertheless  he  that  standeth 
steadfast  in  his  heart,  having  no 
necessitv,  but  hath  power  over  his 
own  will,  and  hath  so  decreed  in 
his  heart  that  he  will  keep  his  vir- 
gin, doeth  well. 

38  So  then  he  that  giveth  her  in 
marriage  doeth  well ;  but  he  that 
giveth  her  not  in  marriage  doeth 
better. 

39  The  wife  is  bound  by  the  law 
as  long  as  her  husband  li  veth ;  but 
If  her  husband  be  dead,  she  is  at 
liberty  to  be  married  to  whom  she 
will ;  only  in  the  Lord. 

40  But  she  is  happier  if  she  so 
abide,  after  my  judgment:  and  I 
thmk  also  that  I  have  the  Spirit 
of  God. 

Ep.  5— '22  Wives,  submit  your- 
selves unto  your  own  husbands, 
as  unto  the  Lord. 

23  For  the  husband  is  the  head 
of  the  wife,  even  as  Christ  is  the 
head  of  the  church:  aud  he  is  the 
Saviour  of  the  body. 

24  Therefore  as  the  church  is 
subject  unto  Christ,  so  let  the 
wives  be  to  then- own  husbands  in 
every  thing. 

25  Husbands,  love  your  wives 
even  as  Christ  also  loved  the 
church,  and  gaveSiimself  for  it  • 


26  That  he  might  sanctify  aud 
cleanse  it  with  the  washing  of 
water  by  the  word, 

.27  That  he  might  present  it  to 
himself  a  glorious  chm-ch,  not 
havmg  spot,  or  wrinkle,  or  any 
such  thing:  but  that  it  should  be 
holy  and  without  blemish. 

28  So  ought  men  to  love  their 
wives  as  their  own  bodies.  He  that 
lovetli  his  wife  loveth  himself. 

.29  l<or  no  man  ever  yet  hated 
his  own  flesh ;  but  nourisheth  and 
cherisheth  it.  even  as  the  Lord  the 
church: 

30  For  we  are  members  of  his 
body,  of  his  tlesh.  and  of  his 
bones. 

31  For  this  cause  shall  a  man 
leave  his  father  and  mother,  and 
shall  be  joined  unto  his  wife,  and 
they  two  shall  be  one  flesh. 

32  This  is  a  great  mystery:  but 
1  speak  concerning  Chi-ist  and  the 
church. 

33  Nevertheless,  let  evei-v  one  of 
you  m  particular  so  love  fiis  wife 
even  as  himself:  and  the  wife 
see  that  she  reverence  her  hus- 
band. 

Col.  3—18  Wives,  submit  yoiu-- 
selyes  unto  yoiu-  owu  husbands, 
as  it  IS  fit  in  the  Lord. 

19  Husbands,  love  vour  wives, 
and  be  not  bitter  against  them. 
.  1  P^v  ?— 1.  Likewise,  ye  wives,  be 
m  subjection  to  your  own  hus- 
bands: that,  if  any  obey  not  the 
word,  they  also  may  without  the 
word  be  won  by  the  conversation 
of  the  wives; 

2  While  they  behold  vour  chaste 
conversation  coupled  with  fear. 

3  Whose  adorning,  let  it  not  be 
that  outward  adorning  of  piaiting 
the  hair,  and  of  wearing  of  gold, 
or  of  putting  on  of  apparel : 

4  But  let  it  be  the  hidden  man 
of  the  heart,  iii  that  which  is  not 
corruptible,  even  the  ornament  of 
a  meek  and  quiet  spirit,  which  is 
in  the  sight  of  God  of  great  price. 

.5  I  or  after  this  manner  in  the 
old  time  the  holy  women  also, 
who  trusted  in  God,  adorned 
themselves,  being  in  subjection 
imto  then-  own  husbands: 

6  Even  as  Sarah  obeved  Abra- 
ham, calling  him  lord:  whose 
daughters  ye  are,  as  long  as  ye  do 
well,  and  are  not  afraid  with  any 
amazement. 

7  Likewise,  ye  husbands,  dwell 
with  them  according  to  knowl- 
edge, giving    honour    unto    the 


M 

wife,  as  unto  tlie  weaker  vessel, 
and  as  being  heirs  together  of  the 
grace  of  life;  that  your  prayers 
be  not  hindered. 

Ps.  128—3  Thy  wife  shall  be  as  a 
fi-uitful  vine  by  tlie  sides  of  thine 
house:  thy  cliildren  like  olive 
plants  round  about  thy  table. 

•i  Thus  shall  the  man  be  blessed 
that  feareth  tlie  Lord. 

Pro.  .5—18  Rejoice  with  the  wife 
of  thy  youth. 

19  Let  her  be  as  the  loving  hind 
and  i)leasant  roe ;  let  her  breasts 
satisfy  thee  at  all  times,  and  be 
thou  ravished  always  with  her 
love. 

Pro.  9—29  So  he  that  goeth  in 
to  his  neighbour's  wife;  whoso- 
ever toucheth  her  shall  not  be 
innocent,    p.  9.5. 

Pro.  18—22  Whoso  tiudeth  a  wife 
tindeth  a  good  thing,  and  obtain- 
etli  favour  of  the  Lord. 

Pro.  19—14  Ht)use  and  riches  are 
the  inheritance  of  fathers:  and  a 
prudent  wife  is  from  the  Lord. 

Ec.  9— 9  Live  joyfully  with  the 
wife  whom  thou  lovest  all  the 
days  of  the  life  of  thy  vanity. 

Je.  5—8  They  were  as  fed  lior-ses 
in  the  morning;  every  one  neighed 
after  his  neighbour's  wife. 

Eze.  33—26  Ye  work  abomina- 
tion, and  ye  defile  every  one  his 
neighbour's  wife:  and  shall  ye 
possess  the  land? 

Mi.  7—5  Trust  ye  not  in  a  friend, 
put  ye  not  confidence  in  a  guide : 
keep  the  doors  of  thy  mouth  from 
her  that  lieth  in  thy  bosom. 

Mai.  2—15  Take  heed  to  your 
spirit,  and  let  none  deal  treacher- 
ously against  the  wife  of  his  youth . 

DEATH  OF  EZEKIEL'S  WIFE. 

Eze.  24 — 15  Also  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

16  Son  of  man,  behold,  I  take 
away  from  thee  the  desire  of 
thine  eyes  with  a  stroke:  yet 
neither  shalt  tliou  mouni  nor 
weep,  neither  shall  thy  tears  run 
down. 

17  Forbear  to  cry,  make  no 
mourning  for  the  dead,  bind  the 
tire  of  thine  head  upon  thee,  and 
put  on  thy  shoes  upon  thy  feet, 
and  cover  not  thy  lips,  and  eat 
not  the  bread  of  men. 

18  So  I  spake  unto  the  people  in 
the  morning:  and  at  even  my 
wife  died ;  and  I  did  in  the  morn- 
ing as  I  was  commanded. 


Pro.  11—22  As  a  jewel  of  gold  in 
a  swine's  .snout,  so  is  a  fair  woman 
wliicli  is  without  discretion. 

Pro.  12 — 4  A  virtuous  woman  is 
a  crown  to  her  husband:  but  she 
that  maketh  ashamed  is  as  rot- 
tenness in  his  bones. 

Pro.  21—9  It  is  better  to  dwell  in 
a  corner  of  the  housetop,  than 
with  a  brawling  woman  in  a  wide 
house. 

19  It  is  better  to  dwell  in  the 
wilderness,  than  with  a  conten- 
ti(jus  and  an  angiy  woman. 

Pro.  27—15  A  continual  dropping 
in  a  very  rainy  day  and  a  conten- 
tious M'oman  are  alike. 

Pro.  31—10  Who  can  find  a  vir- 
tuous woman?  for  her  price  is  far 
above  rabies. 

11  The  heart  of  her  husband  dotli 
.safely  trust  in  her,  so  that  he  shall 
have  no  need  of  spoil. 

12  She  will  do  him  good  and 
not  evil  all  the  days  of  her  life. 

13  She  seeketh  wool,  and  tlax, 
and  worketh  willingly. 

14  She  is  like  the  merchants' 
ships;  she  bringethher  food  from 
afar. 

15  She  riseth  also  wliile  it  is  yet 
night,  and  giveth  meat  to  her 
hou.sehold,  and  a  portion  to  her 
maidens. 

16  She  considereth  a  field,  and 
buyeth  it:  with  the  fruit  of  her 
hands  she  planteth  a  vineyard. 

18  She  perceiveth  that  her  mer- 
chandise is  good :  her  candle  go- 
eth not  out  by  night. 

19  She  layeth  her  hands  to  the 
spindle,  and  her  hands  hold  the 
dLstaff. 

20  Slie  stretcheth  out  her  hand 
to  the  poor;  yea,  she  reacheth 
forth  her  hands  to  the  needy. 

21  She  is  not  afraid  of  the  snow 
for  her  houseliold:  for  all  her 
household  are  clothed  with 
scarlet. 

22  She  maketh  herself  coverings 
of  tapestry;  her  clothing  is  silk 
and  piu'ple. 

23  Her  husband  is  known  in  the 
gates,  when  he  sitteth  among  the 
elders  of  the  land. 

24  Slie  maketh  fine  Imeu,  and 
selleth  it;  and  delivereth  girdles 
unto  the  merchant.

25  Strength  and  honour  are  her 
clothing;  and  she  shall  rejoice  in 
time  to  come. 

26  She  openeth  her  mouth  with 
wisdom  \  and  in  her  tongue  is  the 
law  of  kindness. 

27  She  looketh  well  to  the  ways 
of  her  household,  and  eateth  not 
the  bread  of  idleness. 

28  Her  children  arise  up,  and  call 
her  blessed ;  her  husband  also,and 
he  praiseth  her. 

29  Many  daughters  have  done 
virtuously,  but  thou  excellest 
them  all. 

30  Favoixr  is  deceitful,  and  beau- 
ty is  vain :  but  a  woman  that  f  ear- 
eth  the  Lord,  she  shall  be  praised. 

Ec.  7—26  I  find  more  bitter  than 
death  the  woman,  whose  heart  is 
snares  and  nets,  and  her  hands  as 
bands:  whoso  pleaseth  God  shall 
escape  from  her;  but  the  sinner 
shall  be  taken  by  her.    p.  194. 

Je.  4—30  And  when  thou  art 
sijoiled,  what  wilt  thou  do? 
Though  thou  clothest  thyself 
with  crimson,  though  thou  deck- 
est  thee  with  ornaments  of  gold, 
though  thou  rentest  thy  face  with 
painting,  in  vain  shalt  thou  make 
thyself  fair;  thy  lovers  will  de- 
spise thee. 

Is.  32—9  Rise  up,  ye  women  that 
are  at  ease;  hear  my  voice,  ye 
careless  daughters ;  give  ear  xmto 
my  speech. 

10  Many  days  and  years  shall  ye 
be  troubled,  ye  careless  women: 
for  the  vintage  shall  fail,  the 
gathering  shall  not  come. 

11  Tremble,  ye  women  that  are 
at  ease;  be  troubled,  ye  careless 
ones:  strip  you,  and  make  you 
bare,  and  gird  sackcloth  upon 
your  loins. 

Is.  49—15  Can  a  woman  forget 
her  sucking  child,  that  sbe  should 
not  have  compassion  on  the  sou  of 
her  womb? 

Je.  31—22  How  long  wilt  thou  go 
about,  O  thou  backsliding  daugn- 
ter?  for  the  Lord  hath  created  a 
new  thing  in  the  earth,  A  woman 
shall  compass  a  man. 

Ps.  58—8  As  a  snail  which  melt- 
eth,  let  every  one  of  them  pass 
away :  like  the  untimely  birth  of  a 
woman,  that  they  may  not  see  the 
sun. 

Job  25—4  How  then  can  man  be 
iustitied  with  God?  or  how  can 
he  be  clean  that  is  born  of  a 
woman? 


Jno.  16—21  A  woman  when  she 

is  in  travail  hath  sorrow,  because 
her  .hour  is  come:  but  as  soon  as 
she  is  delivered  of  the  child,  she 
remembereth  no  more  the  an- 
guish, for  joy  that  a  man  is  born 
into  the  world. 

I  Co.  11—3  But  I  would  have  you 
know,  that  the  head  of  every  man 
is  Christ ;  and  the  head  of  the  wo- 
man is  the  man ;  and  the  head  of 
Christ  is  God. 

4  Every  man  praying  or  proph- 
esying, having  his  head  covered, 
dishonouretli  his  head. 

5  But  every  woman  that  prayeth 
or  prophesieth  with  her  head  xxii- 
covered  dishonouretli  her  head: 
for  that  is  even  all  one  as  if  she 
were  shaven. 

6  For  if  the  woman  be  not  cov- 
ered, let  her  also  be  shorn :  but  if 
it  be  a  shame  for  a  woman  to  be 
shorn  or  shaven,  let  her  be  cov- 
ered. 

7  For  a  man  indeed  ought  not 
to  cover  his  head,  forasmuch  as  he 
isthe  image  and  glory  of  God:  but 
the  woman  is  the  glory  of  the  man. 

8  For  the  man  is  not  of  the  wo- 
man ;  but  the  woman  of  the  man. 

9  Neither  was  the  man  created 
for  the  woman;  but  the  woman 
for  the  man. 

10  For  this  cause  ought  the  wo- 
man to  have  power  on  her  head 
because  of  the  angels. 

II  Neither  is  the  man  without 
the  woman,  neither  the  woman 
without  the  man,  in  the  Lord. 

12  For  as  the  woman  is  of  the 
man,  even  so  is  the  man  also  by 
the  woman ;  but  all  things  of  God. 

13  Judge  in  yourselves:  is  it 
comely  that  a  woman  pray  unto 
God  uncovered? 

14  Doth  not  even  nature  itself 
teach  you,  that  if  a  man  have  long 
hair,  it  is  a  shame  unto  him? 

15  But  if  a  woman  have  long 
hair,  it  is  a  glory  to  her:  for  her 
hair  is  given  her  for  a  covering. 

16  But  if  any  man  seem  to  be 
contentious,  we  have  no  such  cus- 
tom, neither  the  churches  of  God. 

1  Co.  14—34  Let  your  women  keep 
silence  in  the  chui-ches:  for  it  is 
not  permitted  unto  them  to  speak ; 
but  to  be  under  obedience,  as  also 
saith  the  law. 

35  And  if  they  will  learn  any 
thing,let  them  ask  their  husbands 
at  home:  for  it  is  a  shame  for 
women  to  speak  in  the  church.

I  Ti.  2—8  I  will  therefore  that 
men  pray  every  where,  liftmg  up 
holy  hauds,  without  wrath  and 
doubting. 

9  That  women  adorn  themselves 
in  modest  apparel,  with  shanie- 
facedness  and  sobriety;  not  with 
braided  hair,  or  gold,  or  pearls,  or 
costly  array ; 

10  But  (which  becometh  women 
professing  godliness)  with  good 
works. 

II  Let  the  woman  learn  m  si- 
lence with  all  subjection. 

12  But  I  suffer  not  a  woman  to 
teach,  nor  to  usurp  authority  over 
the  man,  but  to  be  in  silence. 

13  For  Adam  was  first  formed, 
then  Eve.    p.  183. 

14  And  Adam  was  not  deceived, 
but  the  woman  being  deceived 
was  in  the  transgression. 

15  Notwithstanding  she  shall  be 
saved  in  childbearing,  if  they  con- 
tinue in  faith  and  charity  and 
holiness  witli  sobriety. 

Tit.  2—3  The  aged  women  like- 
wise, that  they  be  in  behaviour 
as  becometh  holiness,  not  false 
accusers,  not  given  to  much  wine, 
teachers  of  good  things; 

4  That  they  may  teach  the  yomig 
women  to  be  sober,  to  love  then' 
husbands,  to  love  their  children, 

5  To  be  discreet,  chaste,  keepers 
at  home,  good,  obedient  to  then- 
own  husbands,  tliat  the  word  of 
God  be  not  blasphemed. 


Ex.  22—16  And  if  a  man  entice  a 
maid  that  is  not  betrothed,  and 
lie  with  her,  he  shall  surely  en- 
dow her  to  be  his  wife. 

17  If  her  father  utterly  refuse 
to  give  her  unto  him,  he  sliall  pay 
money  according  to  the  dowry  ol 
virgins. 

Job.  31—1  I  made  a  covenant 
with  mine  eyes:  why  tlien  should 
1  think  upon  a  maid? 

Je.  2—32  Can  a  maid  forget  her 
ornaments,  or  a  bride  her  attire? 
Pro.  30. 19,  p.  279. 

Women  to  be  ravished  and 
ripped  up  by  the  Lord's  command. 

Is.  13—16  Their-  children  also 
shall  be  dashed  to  pieces  before 
their  eyes;  their  houses  shall  be 
spoiled,  and  their  wives  ravished. 

La.  5—11  They  ravished  the  wo- 
men in  Zion,  and  the  maids  in  the 
cities  of  Judah. 


Zee.  14—2  For  I  will  gather  all 
nations  against  Jervisalem  to  bat- 
tle- and  the  city  shall  be  taken, 
and  the  houses  ritled,  and  the 
women  ravished,    p.  485. 

2  Ki.  15—16  Then  Menahem 
smote  Tiphsah,  and  all  that  were 
therem:  oecause  they  opened  not 
to  him,  therefore  he  smote  it ;  and 
all  the  women  therein  that  were 
with  child  he  ripped  up. 

Ho.  13—16  Samaria  shall  become 
desolate;  for  .she  hath  rebelled 
against  her  God:  they  sliall  fall 
by  tlie  sword :  their  infants  shall 
be  dashed  in  pieces,  and  their 
women  with  child  shall  be  ripped 
up. 

Am.  1— 13ir  Thus saith  the  Lord  : 
For  three  trausgi-essions  of  the 
children  of  Amnion,  and  for  four, 
I  will  not  turn  away  the  punish- 
ment thereof ;  because  they  have 
ripped  up  the  women  with  child, 
of  Gilead,  that  they  might  en- 
large their  border.

widow,  or  fatherless  child. 

23  If  thou  afflict  them  in  any 
wise,  and  they  cit  at  all  unto  me, 
I  will  surely  hear  their  cry ; 

24  And  my  wrath  shall  wax  hot, 
and  I  will  kill  you  with  the  sword ; 
and  your  wives  shall  be  widows, 
and  your  children  fatherless. 

De.24— 17  Thou  shall  not  pervert 
the  judgment  of  the  stranger, 
nor  of  the  fatherless;  nor  take  a 
widow's  raiment  to  pledge. 

Is.  1—17  Learn  to  do  well ;  seek 
judgment,  relieve  the  oppressed, 
judge  the  fatherless,  plead  for  the 
widow. 

23  They  judge  not  the  father- 
less, neither  doth  the  cause  of  the 
widow  come  unto  them.    p.  34. 

Is.  47—8 1  shall  not  sit  as  a  widow, 
neither  shall  1  know  the  loss  of 
children: 

9  But  these  two  things  shall 
come  to  thee  in  a  moment  in  one 
day,  the  loss  of  children,  and  wid- 
owhood.   See  Re.  18.  7,  p.  531.

Je,  15—8  Their  widows  are  in- 
creased to  me  above  the  sand  of 
the  seas:  I  have  brought  upon 
them  against  the  mother  of  the 
young  men  a  spoiler  at  noonday. 

9  She  tliat  hath  home  seven  lan- 
guisheth:  she  hath  given  up  the 
ghost ;  her  sun  is  gone  down  while 
it  was  yet  day. 

Je.  49—11  Leave  thy  fatherless 
children,  I  will  preserve  them 
alive ;  and  let  thy  widows  trust  in 
me. 

La.  5—3  We  are  orphans  and 
fatherless,  oiir  mothers  are  as 
widows. 

Job  22—9  Thou  sent  widows 
away  empty,  and  the  arms  of  the 
fatherless  have  been  broken,  p.  385. 

Job  24—3  They  drive  away  the 
ass  of  the  fatherless,  they  take 
the  widow's  ox  for  a  pledge. 

Job  29—13  The  blessing  of  him 
that  was  ready  to  pei'ish  came 
upon  me :  and  I  caused  the  widow's 
heart  to  sing  for  joy.    p.  386. 

1  Ti.  5—1  Rebuke  not  an  elder, 
but  entreat  him  as  a  father;  and 
the  younger  men  as  brethren ; 

2  The  elder  women  as  mothers; 
the  younger  as  sisters,  with  all 
purity. 

3  Honour  widows  that  are  wid- 
ows indeed. 

4  But  if  any  widow  have  children 
or  nephews,  let  them  leani  tirst  to 
shew  piety  at  home,  and  to  requite 
their  parent :  for  that  is  good  and 
acceptable  before  God. 

5  Now  that  she  is  a  widow  in- 
deed, and  desolate,  trusteth  in 
God,  and  continueth  in  supplica- 
tions and  prayers  night  and  day. 

6  But  she  that  liveth  in  pleasure 
is  dead  while  she  liveth. 

9  Let  not  a  widow  be  taken  into 
the  number  under  threescore  years 
old,  having  been  the  wife  of  one 
man, 

10  Well  reported  of  for  good 
works;  if  she  have  brought  up 
children,  if  she  have  lodged  stran- 
gers, if  she  have  washed  the  saints' 
feet,  if  she  have  relieved  the  af- 
flicted, if  she  have  diligently  fol- 
lowed every  good  work. 

11  But  the  younger  widows  re- 
fuse: for  when  they  have  begun 
to  wax  wanton  against  Christ  they 
will  marry; 

12  Having  damnation,  because 
they  have  cast  off  their  hrst  faith. 

13  And  withal  they  learn  to  he 
idle,  wandering  about  from  house 
to  house:  and  not  only  idle,  but 


tattlersalso  and  busy  bodies, speak- 
ing things  which  they  ought  not. 

14  I  will  therefore  that  the 
younger  women  marry,  bear  chil- 
dren, guide  the  house,  give  none 
occasion  to  the  adversary  to  speak 
reproachfully. 

15  For  some  are  already  turned 
aside  after  Satan. 

16  If  any  man  or  woman  that 
believeth  have  widows,  let  them 
relieve  them,  and  let  not  the 
church  be  charged;  that  it  may 
relieve  them  that  are  widows 
iudeed. 

Those  who  desire  further  infor- 
mation in  regard  to  men,  women, 
children,  and  unlawful  marriages,

Ex.  21—12  He  that  smiteth  a 
man,  so  that  he  die,  shall  be 
surely  put  to  death. 

13  And  if  a  man  lie  not  in  wait, 
but  God  deliver  him  into  his 
hand;  then  I  will  appoint  thee 
a  place  whither  he  shall  flee. 

14  But  if  a  man  come  presumpt- 
uously upon  his  neighbour,  to 
slay  him  with  guile;  thou  shalt 
take  him  from  mine  altar,  that  he 
may  die. 

Nu.  35—9  And  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Moses,  saying, 

10  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Is- 
rael, and  say  unto  them,  Wlien  ye 
be  come  over  Jordan  into  the  land 
of  Canaan, 

11  Then  ye  shall  appoint  you 
cities  to  be  cities  of  refuge  for 
you-  that  the  slayer  may  flee 
thither,  which  killeth  any  person 
at  unawares. 

12  And  they  shall  be  unto  you 
cities  for  refuge  from  the  aven- 
ger; that  the  manslayer  die  not, 
until  he  stand  before  the  congre- 
gation in  judgment. 

13  And  of  these  cities  which  ye 
shall  give,  six  cities  shall  ye  have 
for  refuge. 

14  Ye  shall  give  three  cities  on 
this  side  Jordan,  and  three  cities 
shall  ye  give  in  the  land  of  Canaan, 
which  shall  be  cities  of  refuge.

15  These  six  cities  shall  be  a  ref- 
uge, both  for  the  childreu  of  Is- 
rael, and  for  the  stranger,  and  for 
tlie  sojourner  among  them;  that 
every  one  that  killeth  any  person 
unawares  may  tiee  thither. 

16  And  if  he  smite  him  with  an 
instrument  of  iron,  so  that  he  die, 
he  is  a  murderer:  the  murderer 
shall  surely;  be  put  to  death. 

17  And  if  he  smite  him  with 
throwing  a  stone,  wherewith  he 
may  die,  and  he  die,  he  is  a  mur- 
derer: the  raiu'derer  shall  sui'ely 
be  put  to  death. 

18  Or  if  he  smite  him  with  a 
hand  weapon  of  wood,  wherewith 
he  may  die,  and  he  die,  he  is  a 
mm"derer:  the  murderer  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death. 

19  The  revenger  of  blood  him- 
self shall  slay  the  murderer: 
when  he  nieeteth  him,  he  shall 
slay  him. 

20  But  if  he  thrust  him  of  ha- 
tred, or  hurl  at  him  by  laying  of 
wait,  that  he  die ; 

21  Or  in  emnity  smite  him  with 
liis  hand,  that  he  die:  he  that 
smote  him  shall  siu-ely  be  put  to 
death;  for  he  is  a  murderer:  the 
revenger  of  blood  shall  slay  the 
mui'derer,  when  lie  nieeteth  him. 

22  But  if  he  thrust  him  sud- 
denly without  emnity,  or  have 
cast  upon  him  anything  without 
laying  of  wait, 

23  Or  with  any  stone,  where- 
with a  man  may  die,  seeing  him 
not,  and  cast  it  upon  him,  that  he 
die,  and  was  not  his  enemy,  nei- 
ther sought  his  harm : 

24  Then  the  congregation  .shall 
judge  between  the  slayer  and  the 
revenger  of  blood  according  to 
these  judgments: 

25  And  the  congregation  shall 
deliver  the  slayer  out  of  the  hand 
of  the  revenger  of  blood,  and  the 
congregation  shall  restore  him  to 
the  city  of  his  refuge,  whitlier  he 
was  tied:  and  he  shall  abide  in  it 
unto  the  death  of  the  high  priest, 
which  was  anointed  with  the 
holy  oil. 

26  But  if  the  slayer  shall  at  any 
time  come  without  tlie  border  of 
the  city  of  his  refuge,  whither  he 
was  fled ; 

27  And  the  revenger  of  blood 
find  him  without  the  borders  of 
the  city  of  his  refuge,  and  the  re- 
venger of  blood  kill  the  slayer; 
he  snail  not  be  guilty  of  blood: 


28  Because  he  should  have  re- 
mained in  the  city  of  las  refuge 
until  the  death  of  the  high  priest : 
but  after  the  death  of  the  high 
priest  the  slayer  shall  retmni  into 
the  land  of  his  posses.sion. 

29  !So  these  things  sliall  be  for  a 
statute  of  judgment  unto  you 
throughout  ^-Dtir  generations  in 
all  youi-  dwellings. 

30  Whoso  killeth  any  person,  the 
murderer  .shall  be  pirt  to  death  by 
the  mouth  of  witnesses:  but  one 
witness  shall  not  te.stify  against 
any  person  to  cause  him  to  die. 

31  Moreover  ye  shall  take  no  sat- 
isfaction for  the  life  of  a  murder- 
er, which  is  guilty  of  death:  but 
he  shall  be  surely  put  to  death. 

32  And  ye  shall  take  no  satisfac- 
tion for  hnn  that  is  fled  to  the  city 
of  his  refuge,  that  he  should  come 
again  to  dwell  in  the  land,  until 
the  death  of  the  priest. 

33  So  ye  shall  not  ^TOllute  the 
land  wherein  ye  are:  tor  blood  it 
deflleth  the  land:  and  the  laud 
cannot  be  cleansed  of  the  blood 
that  is  shed  therein,  but  by  the 
blood  of  him  that  .shed  it. 

34  Deflle  not  therefore  the  land 
which  ye  shall  inhabit,  wlierem  I 
dwell:  for  I  the  Lord  dwell 
among  the  children  of  Israel. 

De.  21—1  If  one  be  found  slain 
in  the  land  which  the  Lord  tliy 
God  giveth  thee  to  possess  it,  ly- 
ing in  the  field,  and  it  be  nof 
known  who  hath  slain  him: 

2  Then  thy  elders  and  thy  judges 
shall  come  forth,  and  they  .shall 
measure  unto  tlie  cities  which  are 
round  about  him  that  is  slain : 

3  And  it  shall  be,  that  the  city 
which  is  next  unto  the  slain  man, 
even  the  elders  of  that  city  shall 
take  a  heifer,  which  hatli  not 
b^en  wrouglit  with,  and  which 
hath  not  drawn  in  the  yoke ; 

■  4  And  the  elders  of  that  city 
shall  bring  down  the  heifer  unt6 
a  rough  valley,  which  is  neither 
eared  nor  sown,  and  shall  strike 
oif  the  heifer's  neck  there  in  the 
valley. 

5  And  the  priests  the  sons  of 
Levi  shall  come  near;  for  them 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  chosen  to 
minister  unto  him,  and  to  bless  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord;  and  by 
their  word  shall  every  controver- 
sy and  every  stroke  be  tried: 

C  And  all  the  elders  of  that  city, 
that  are  next  unto  the  slain  man.

valley: 

7  And  they  shall  say,  Our  hands 
have  not  shed  this  blood,  neither 
have  our  eyes  seen  it. 

8  Be  merciful,  O  Lord,  and  lay 
not  innocent  blood  unto  thy  peo- 
ple of  Israel's  charge.  And  the 
blood  shall  be  forgiven  them.

ing proudly;  let  not  arrogancy 
come  out  of  your  mouth:  for  the 
LoED  is  a  God  of  knowledge,  and 
by  him  actions  are  weighed. 

Ps.  10—7  His  mouth  is  full  of 
cursing  deceit  and  fraud:  imder 
his  tongue  is  mischief  and  vanity. 

Ps.  35—21  Yea,  they  opened  their 
mouth  wide  against  me,  and  said, 
Aha,  aha,  our  eye  hath  seen  it. 

Ps.  36—3  The  words  of  his  mouth 
are  iniquity  and  deceit. 

Ps.  50—19  Thou  givest  thy  mouth 
to  evil,  and  thy  tongue  fi'ameth 

Ps.  78—36  They  did  flatter  him 
with  their  mouth,  and  they  lied 
unto  him  with  their  tongues. 

Ps.  81—10 1  am  the  Lord  thy  God, 
which  brought  thee  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt:  open  thy  mouth 
wide,  and!  will  lill  it. 

Ps.  109—2  For  the  mouth  of  the 
wicked  and  the  mouth  of  the  de- 
ceitful are  opened  against  ihe: 
they  have  spoken  against  me  with 
a  lying  tongue. 

Job  9—20  If  I  justify  myself,  mine 
own  mouth  shall  condemn  me:  if 
I  say,  I  am  perfect,  it  shall  also 
pi'ove  me  perverse. 

Job  15—5  For  thy  mouth  utter- 
"eth  thine  iniquity. and  thou  choos- 
est  the  tongue  of  the  crafty. 

6  Thine  own  mouth  condemneth 
thee,  and  not  I:  yea,  thine  own 
lips  testify  against  thee.    p.  384. 

Pro.  10—11  The  mouthof  a  right- 
ous  man  is  a  well  of  life:  but  vio- 
lence covereth  the  mouth  of  the 
wicked. 


Pro.  13—3  He  that  keepeth  his 
mouth  keepeth  his  life:  but  he 
that  openeth  wide  his  lips  shall 
have  destraction. 

Pro.  21—23  Whoso  keepeth  his 
mouth  and  his  tongue,  keepeth 
his  soul  from  troubles. 

Pro.  30—32  If  thou  hast  done 
foolishly  in  lifting  up  thyself,  or 
if  thou  hast  thought  evil, lay  thine 
hand  upon  thy  mouth. 

Pro.  31—8  Open  thy  mouth  for 
the  dumb  in  the  cause  of  all  such 
as  are  appointed  to  destruction. 

9  Open  thy  mouth,  judge  right- 
eously, and  plead  the  cause  of  the 
poor  and  needy. 

Ec.  5—2  Be  not  rash  with  thy 
mouth,  and  let  not  thine  heart  be 
hasty  to  utter  any  thing  before 
God:  for  God  is  in  heaven,  and 
thou  upon  earth :  therefore  let  thy 
words  be  few. 

6  Suffer  not  thy  mouth  to  cause 
thy  flesh  to  sin ;  neither  say  thou 
before  the  angel,  that  it  was  an 
error:  wherefore  should  God  be 
angry  at  thy  voice,  and  destroy 
the  work  of  thine  hands?

Eze.  33—31  With  their  mouth 
they  shew  much  love,  but  their 
heart  goeth  after  their  covetous- 
uess. 

Mat.  15—7  Ye  hypocrites,  well 
did  Esaias prophesy  of  you,.saying, 

8  This  people  draweth  nigh  unto 
me  with  their  mouth,  and  honour- 
eth  me  with  their  lips;  but  then- 
heart  is  far  from  me. 

Is.  29—13  This  people  draw  near 
me  with  their  mouth,  and  with 
their  lips  do  honour  me,  but  have 
removed  their  heart  far  from  me. 

Mat.  15—11  Not  that  which  goeth 
into  the  mouth  defileth  a  man ; 
but  that  which  cometh  out. 

18  But  those  things  which  pro- 
ceed out  of  the  mouth  come  forth 
from  the  heart;  and  they  defile 
the  man. 

19  For  out  of  the  heart  proceed 
evil  thoughts, murders.adulteries, 
fornications,  thefts,  false  witness, 
blasphemies: 

20  These  are  the  things  which  de- 
file a  man:  but  to  eat  with  mi- 
washen  hands  defileth  not  a  man. 

Ep.  4—29  Let  no  corrupt  com- 
munication proceed  out  of  your 
mouth,  but  that  which  is  good  to 
the  use  of  edifying,  that  it  may 
minister  grace  unto  the  hearers.

upon  him.    p.  432.

.sound  with  cymbals  of  brass. 

22  And  Chenaniah,  chief  of  the

play  skilfully  with  a  loud  noise. 

Ps.  68—25  The  singers  went  be-

prophets  said  unto  Elisha,  Behold 
now,  the  place  where  we  dwell 
with  thee  is  too  strait  for  us. 

2  Let  us  go,  we  pray  thee,  unto 
Jordan,  and  take  thence  every 
man  a  beam,  and  let  us  make  us  a 
place  there,  where  we  may  dwell. 
And  he  answered,  Go  y.e. 

3  And  one  said.  Be  content,  1 
pray  thee,  and  go  with  thy  serv- 
ants.   Aud  he  answered,  I  will 

4  So  he  went  with  them.  And 
when  they  came  to  Jordan,  they 
cut  down  wood, 

5  But  as  one  was  telling  a  beam, 
the  axe  head  fell  into  the  water: 
and  he  cried,  and  said,  Alas,  mas- 
ter!  for  it  was  borrowed, 

6  And  the  man  of  God  said. 
Where  fell  it?  And  he  shewed 
him  the  place.  And  he  cut  down 
a  stick,  and  cast  it  in  thither;  aud 
the  iron  did  swim.  ,      ^  ,      .^ 

7  Therefore  said  he.  Take  it  up 
to  thee.  And  he  put  out  his  hand, 
aud  took  it.

Shalt  fear  thV  God.        ' 

Job  35— 9  By  reason  of  the  mul- 
titude of  oppressions  they  make 
the  oppressed  to-ery:  they  cry  out 
by  reason  of  the  arip  of  the

Ec.  4—1  So  I  returned,  and  con-

done  under  the  sun:  and  behold 
the  tears  of  such  as  were  op- 
pressed, and  they  had  no  com-

oppressors  there  was  -power;  but

perverting  of  judgment  and  jus-

there  be  higlier  than  they. 

Ec.  7—7  Surely  oppression  mak- 
eth  a  wise  man  mad.    p.  194. 

Eze.  22—29  The  people  have 
used  oppression,  and  exercised 
robbery,  and  have  vexed  the  poor 
and  needy:  yea,  they  have  op- 
pressed the  stranger  wrongfully. 

Mat.  11—6  Blessed  is  he,  whoso-

De.  25 — 4  Thou  shalt  not  muzzle

Thou  shalt  not  muzzle  the  ox  that

earth,  and  warmeth  them  in  the 
dust, 

15  And  forgetteth  that  the  foot 
may  crush  them,  or  that  the  wild 
beast  may  break  them. 

16  She  IS  hardened  against  her 
young  ones,  as  though  they  were 
not  hers:  her  labour  is  in  vain 
without  fear; 

17  Because  God  hath  deprived 
her  of  wisdom,  neither  hath  he 
imparted  to  her  understanding. 

18  What  time  she  liftethup  her- 
self on  high,  she  scorneth  the 
horse  and  his  rider. 

Is.  34—14  The  wild  beasts  of  the 
desert  shall  also  meet  witli  the 
wild  beasts  of  the  island,  and  the 
satyr  shall  cry  to  his  fellow;  the 
screech  owl  also  shall  rest  there. 

15  There  shall  the  great  owl 
make  her  nest,  and  lay,  and  hatch, 
and   gather  under  her  shadow: 


there  shall  the  vultures  also  be 
gathered, every  one  with  her  mate.

Job  32—17  I  said,  I  will  answer

Ex.  33—5  Now  put  off  thy  orna- 
ments from  thee.that  I  may  know 
what  to  do  unto  thee. 

6  And  the  children  of  Israel 
stripped  themselves  of  their  orna- 
ments by  the  mount  Horeb.

become  filthy.

Je.  8—10  Every  one  from  the  least 
even  unto  the  greatest  is  given  to 
covetousness,  from  the  prophet 
even  unto  the  priest  every  one 
dealeth  falsely.    Je.  6. 13,  p.  -227. 

Phi.  2—21  For  all  seek  their  own,

Christ's.

He.  13— 17  Obey  them  that  have 
the  rule  over  you,  and  submit 
yourselves:  for  they  watch  for 
your  souls,  as  they  may  do  it  with 
Joy,  and  not  with  grief:  for  that 
IS  unprofitable  for  you. 

2  Co.  11—12  But  what  I  do.  that  I 
will  do,  that  I  may  cut  off  occa- 
sion from  them  which  desire  occa- 
sion; that  whereui  they  glory, 
they  may  be  found  even  as  we. 

Ep.  4 — 4  There  is  one  body,  and 
one  Spirit,  even  as  ye  are  called  in 
one  hope  of  your  calling; 

5  One  Lord,  <Mie  faith,  one  bap- 
tism. 

6  One  God  and  Father  of  all, 
who  is  above  all,  and  through  all, 
and  in  you  all. 

7  But  unto  every  one  of  us  is 
given  grace  according  to  the 
measure  of  the  gift  of  Christ.

vour one  another,  take  heed  that

PRIEST  AND  LEVITES. 


Melchizedek,  King  of  Salem, 
Jerusalem ;  the  First  Priest,  "  The 
Priest  of  the  Most  High  God." 
No  one  seems  to  know  anything 
about  this  man;  yet  some  claim 
that  he  was  Christ,  the  first  Christ, 
the  Christ  who  was  with  God  be- 
fore the  world  was.  See  Jesus 
Christ,  "  The  First  and  the  Last," 
p.  490-496,  and  Re.  22.  13,  16,  p.  536, 
and  Ge.  14. 17-20;  He.  7. 1-6,  follow- 
ing, and  He.  5. 6-11  and  Ps.  iio.  4, 
p.  224. 

Ge.  14—17  And  the  king  of  Sodom 
went  out  to  meet  Abram,  after 
his  return  from  the  slaughter  of 
Chedorlaomer  and  of  the  kings 
that  were  with  him,  at  the  valley 
of  Shaveh,  which  is  the  king's  dale. 

18  And  Melchizedek  king  of  Sa- 
lem brought  forth  bread  and 
wine:  and  he  was  the  priest  of 
the  most  high  God. 

19  And  he  Dlessed  him,  and  said 
Blessed  be  Abram  of  the  most 
high  God,  possessor  of  heaven  and 
earth: 

20  And  blessed  be  the  most  high 
God,  which  hath  delivered  thine 
enemies  into  thy  hand.  And  he 
gave  him  tithes  of  all.    p.  404. 

He.  7—1  For  this  Meichisedec, 
king  of  Salem,  priest  of  the  most 
high  God,  who  met  Abraham  re- 
turning from  the  slaughter  of  the 
kings,  and  blessed  him ; 

2  To  whom  also  Abraham  gave 
a  tenth  part  of  all ;  first  being  by 
interpretation  King  of  righteous- 
ness, and  after  that  also  King  of 
Salem,  which  is.  King  of  peace: 

3  Without  father,  without  moth- 
er, without  descent^  having  nei- 
ther beginning  of  days,  nor  end 
of  life:  but  made  like  unto  the 
Son  of  God ;  abideth  a  priest  con- 
tinually. 

4  Now  consider  how  great  this 
man  was,  unto  whom  even  the 
patriarch  Abraham  gave  the  tenth 
of  the  spoils. 

5  And  verily  they  that  are  of 
the  sons  of  Levi,  who  receive  the 
oflSce  of  the  priesthood,  have  a 
commandment  to  take  tithes  of 
the  people  according  to  the  law, 
that  is,  of  their  brethren,  though 
they  come  out  of  the  loins  of 
Abraham : 

6  But  he  whose  descent  is  not 
counted  from  themreceived  tithes 


of  Abraham,  and  blessed  him  that 
had  the  promises. 

Aaron  and  his  sons  of  the  tribe 
of  Levi  are  set  apart  for  the 
Priest's  office  (none  but  perfect 
men  to  be  priests,  Le.  21.  16-24). 
The  other  male  members  of  the 
tribe  of  Levi  are  to  have  charge 
of  the  Tabernacle  and  its  furni- 
ture, and  also  to  be  assistant  to 
the  Priests,  etc.  The  Priests'  Holy 
Garments:  The  Priests'  and  Le- 
vites'  Consecration;  how  the 
Priest  and  Levites  are  to  be  paid

Christ  as  a  Prophet  and  Christ 
as  a  High  Priest. 

Jno.5— 46  Had  ye  believed  Moses, 
ye  would  have  believed  me:  for 
Le  wrot«  of  me.  Moses  made  no 
mention  of  Christ  in  any  of  his 
writings.  The  Prophet  six)ken  of 
by  Moses  in  De.  18. 15-22,  following, 
is  referred  to  by  Peter  m  Ac.  3.  20- 
23,  following,  as  proof  that  Christ 
was  that  Prophet.  Yet,  from  an 
imoartial  reading  of  De.  18. 15-22, 
ana  to  the  end  of  the  book  of 
Deuteronomy,  it  isclearand  plain 
to  any  unbiased  mind  that  Joshua 
was  the  prophet  spoken  of  by  Mo- 
ses, and  not  Jesus  Christ,  whom 
the  New  Testament  writers  would 
have  us  believe  was  the  man.  See 
the  following:  — 

De    18—15  The  Loed  thy  God 

will  raise  up  unto  thee  a  Prophet 
from  the  midst  of  thee,  of  thy 
brethren,  like  unto  me ;  unto  him 
ve  shall  hearken : 

16  According  to  all  that  thou 
desiredst  of  the  Lord  thy  God  in 
Horeb  in  the  day  of  the  assembly, 
saving.  Let  me  not  hear  again  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  my  God,  neither 
let  me  see  this  great  fire  any  more, 
that  I  die  not.    Ex.  20,  p.  46. 

17  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
They  have  well  sjwken  that  which 
they  have  spoken. 

18 1  will  raise  them  up  a  Prophet 
from  among  their  brethren,  like 
unto  thee,  and  will  put  my  "words 
in  his  mouth:  and  he  shall  speak 
unto  them  all  that  I  shall  com- 
mand him.

whosoever  will  uot  hearken  iruto 
my  words  which  he  shall  speak  in 
.jay  name,  I  will  reqnire  it  of  him. 
01:20  But  the  prophet,  which  Bha,ll 
api'ssunie  to  speak  a  word  in  my 
name,  which  I  have. not  com- 
manded him  to. speak,  oc  that 
■shall  speak  in  the.  name  of  othei-

•How  «hal-l  we .  know  the  word 
-which  the  Lukd  hath  not  spoken? 
.,,22  When  a  prophet  speaketh  in 
Ithename  of  the  Lord,  if  the  thing

,is  the  thing  which  the  Lokd  hath 
'not  spoken,  but, the  prophet  hath 
;spoken  it  -prt^sumptuously :  thou 
Shalt  not  be  airaid  of  him. 

De.  34—10  And  there  arose  not  a 
prophet  since  in  Israel,  like  tuito 
Moses,  whom  the  LoKti  knew  face 
to  face.    p.  167. 

-  Ac./3— 20  And  he  shall  send  JeSus 
•'(Christ,  which  before  was  preached 
vUnto  you: 

;..  21  Whom  the  hea/veu  must  re- 
Iceive'  until  the  times  of  restitu- 
tion of  all  things,  which  God  hath 
'spoken  by  themouthof  alihis  holy 
iprophets  since  the  world  began. 
iM22  For  Moses  truly  said  unto- the 
fathers,  A  Prophet  shall  the  Lord 
your  God  raise  up  unto  you  of 
vour  brethi-en,  like,  unto  me ;  him 
shall  ye  hear  in  all  things  whatso- 
ever he  shall  say  unto  you. 
1 .  23  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
•every  soul,  which  will  not  hear 
that  Prophet,  slia'll  be  destroyed. 
Mat.  21—10  And  when  he  was 
come  into  Jerusalem,  all  the  city 
iwas  moved,  saying,  Who  is  this? 

11  And  the  multitude  said.  This 
is  Jesus  the  prophet  of  Nazareth 
of  Galilee,    p.  511. 

!  He.  &— 1  For  every  high  priest 
taken  from  among  men  isordained 
for  men  in  things  pertainmg  to 
God,  that  he  may  offer  both  gifts 
and  sacrifices  for  sins.    See  He.  3. 

2  Who  can  have  compassion  on 
the  ignorant,  and  on  them  that 
are  out  of  the  way ;  for  that  he 
himself  also  is  compassed  with 
infirmity. 

3  And  by  reason  hereof  he  ought, 
as  for  the  people,  so  also  for  him- 
self, fo  offer  for  sms. 

4  And.  no  man  taketh  this  hon- 
our unto  himself,  but  he  that  is 
called  of  God,  as  was  Aaron. 


5. -So  also  Christ  glorified  not 
himself  to  be  made  a  high  prie.st ; 
but  he  that  said  unto  hiniv  Thou 
ait  my  Son,  to  day  liave  I  begot- 
ten thee.  :  ,  •    .  ■,  .  : 

6  As  he  saith  also  in  anotheir

when  he  had  offered  Upi  prayei-s 
and  supplications  with  strong.cry-

after  the  orderiof  Melchisedec.    :

..THE  SEVENTY  ELDER&:-'" 

jNu;  11— 24:Aiid  Moses  gathered 
the  seventy  men  of  the  elders  of 
the  people,  and  set  them  rouiid 
about  the  tabernacle. 

25  And  the  Lord  came  down  in 
a  cloud,  and  spake  unto  him,  and 
took  of  the  spirit  that  was  upon 
him,  and  gave  it  unto  the  seventy 
eldei-s:  and  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  the  spirit  rested  upon  them, 
they  prophesied,and  did  notcease. 

26  But  there  reniamed  two  of 
the  men  in  the  camp,  the  name  of 
the  one  was  Eldad,  aud  the  name 
of  the  other  Medad:  and  the  spirit 
rested  upon  them ;  and  they  were 
of  them  that  were  wi-itten,  but 
went  not  out  unto  the  tabernacle : 
and  they  prophesied  in  the  camp, 

27  And  there  ran  a  young  man, 
and  told  Moses,  and  said  Eldad 
and  Medad  do  prophecy  in  the 
camp. 

28  And  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun, 
the  servant  of  Moses,  one  of  his 
vomig  men,  answered  and  said. 
My  lord  Moses,  forbid  them. 

29  And  Moses  said  unto  him, 
Enviest  thou  for  my  sake?  would 
God  that  all  the  Lord's  people 
were  prophets,  and  that  the  Lord 
would  put  his  Spirit  iipon  them.

"The  Prophets  of  Baal  four  liun- 
dred  and  fifty,  and  the  prophets 
of  the  groves  four  hundred." 

1  Ki.  18—1  And  it  came  to  pass 
after  many  days,  that  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  to  Elijah  in  the 
third  year,  saying,  Go,  shew  thy- 
self unto  Ahab. 

2  And  Elijah  went  to  shew  him- 
self imto  Ahab.  And  there  was  a 
sore  famine  in  Samaria. 

3  And  Ahab  called  Obadiah, 
which  was  the  governor  of  his 
house.  (Now  Ubadiah  feared  the 
Lord  greatly: 

4  For  it  was  so.when  Jezebel  cut 
off  the  prophets  of  the  Lord,  that 
Obadiali  took  a  hundred  prophets, 
and  hid  them  by  fifty  in  a  cave, 
and  fed  them  with  bread  and 
water.) 

7  And  as  Obadiah  was  in  the 
way,  Elijah  met  him:  and  he 
knew  him,  and  fell  on  his  face, 
and  said.  Art  thou  that  my  lord 
Elijah? 

8  And  he  answered  him,  I  am: 
go,  tell  thy  lord,  Behold.  Elijah  is 
here. 

16  So  Obadiah  went  to  meet 
Ahab,  and  told  him:  and  Ahab 
went  to  meet  Elijah. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Ahab  saw  Elijah,  that  Ahab  said 
unto  him.  Art  thou  he  that  troub- 
leth  Israel? 

18  And  he  answered,  I  have  not 
troubled  Israel ;  but  thou,  and  thy 
father's  hoiise,  in  that  ye  have 
forsaken  the  commandments  of 
the  Lord,  and  thou  hast  followed 
Baalim. 

19  Now  therefore  send, and  gath- 
er to  me  all  Israel  unto  Mount  Car- 
mel.and  the  prophets  of  Baal  four 
hundred  and  fifty,  and  the  proph- 
ets of  the  groves  four  hundred, 
which  eat  at  Jezebel's  table. 

20  So  Ahab  sent  unto  all  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  and  gathered  the 
prophets  together  unto  mount 
Carmel. 

21  And  Elijah  came  unto  all  the 
people,  and  said.  How  long  halt 
ye  between  two  opinions?  if  the 
Lord  be  God,  follow  him:  but  if 
Baal,  then  follow  him.  And  the 
people  answered  him  not  a  word. 

22  Then  said  Elijah  unto  the  peo- 
ple,!,even  I  only,  remain  a  prophet 
of  the  Lord;  but  Baal's  prophets 
are  four  hundred  and  fifty  men. 

23  Let  them  therefore  give  us 


two  bullocks ;  and  let  them  choose 
one  bullock  for  themselves,  and 
cut  it  in  pieces,and  lay  it  on  wood, 
and  put  no  tire  under:  and  I  •will 
dress  the  other  bullock,  and  lay  it 
on  wood,  and  put  no  tire  under: 

24  And  call  ye  on  the  name  of 
your  gods,  and  I  will  call  on  the 
name  of  the  Lord:  and  the  God 
that  answereth  by  fire,  let  him  be 
God.  And  all  the  people  answered 
and  said,  It  is  well  spoken. 

25  And  Elijah  said  unto  the 
prophets  of  Baal,  Choose  you  one 
bullock  for  youi-selves,  and  dress 
it  first;  for  ye  are  many;  and  call 
on  the  name  of  your  gods,  but  put 
no  fire  under. 

26  And  they  took  the  bullock 
which  was  given  them,  and  rhey 
dressed  it,  and  called  on  the  name 
of  Baal  from  morning  even  until 
noon,  saying.  O  Baal,  hear  us. 
But  there  was  no  voice,  nor  any 
that  answered.  And  tliey  leaped 
upon  the  altar  which  was  macfe. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  at  noon, 
that  Elijah  mocked  them,  and 
said.  Cry  aloud:  for  he  is  a  god; 
either  he  is  talking,  or  he  is  pur- 
sviing,  or  he  is  in  a  journey,  or  per- 
adventure  he  sleepeth,  and  must 
be  awaked. 

28  And  they  cried  aloud,  and  cut 
themselves  after  their  manner 
with  knives  and  lancets,  till  the 
blood  gushed  out  upon  tbem. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
midday  was  past,  and  they  proph- 
esied until  the  time  of  the  offeruig 
of  the  evening  sacrifice, tbat  there 
was  neither  voice,  nor  any  to  an- 
swer, nor  any  that  regarded. 

30  And  Elijah  said  unto  all  the 
people.  Come  near  unto  me.  And 
all  the  people  came  near  unto  him. 
And  he  repaired  the  altar  of  the 
Lord  that  was  broken  down. 

31  And  Elijah  took  twelve  stones, 
according  to  the  number  of  the 
tribes  of  the  sons  of  Jacob,  unto' 
whom  the  word  of  the  Lord  came, 
saying,  Israel  shall  be  thy  name : 

32  And  with  the  stones  he  built 
an  altar  in  the  name  of  the  Lord: 
and  he  made  a  trench  about  the 
altar,  as  great  as  would  contain 
two  measures  of  seed. 

33  And  he  put  the  wood  in  order, 
and  ciit  the  Dullock  in  pieces,  and 
laid  him  on  the  wood,  and  said, 
Fill  four  barrels  with  water,  and 
pour  it  on  the  burnt  sacrifice,  and 
on  the  wood. 


226 


34  And  lie  said,  Do  it  the  second 
time.  And  they  did  it  tlie  second 
time.  And  he  said,  Do  it  tlie 
third  time.  And  they  did  it  the 
third  time. 

35  And  the  water  ran  round 
about  the  altar;  and  he  filled 
the  trench  also  with  water. 

36  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
time  of  the  offering  of  the  evening 
sacrifice,  that  Elijah  the  prophet 
came  near,  and  said.  Lord  God  of 
Abraham,  Isaac,  and  of  Israel,  let 
it  be  known  this  day  that  thou 
art  God  in  Israel,  and  that  I  am 
thy  servant,  and  that  I  have  done 
all  these  things  at  thy  word. 

37  Hear  me,  O  Lord,  hear  me, 
tkat  this  people  may  Know  that 
thou  art  the  Lord  God,  and  that 
thou  hast  turned  their  heart  back 
again. 

38  Then  the  fire  of  the  Lord  fell, 
and  consumed  the  burnt  sacrifice, 
and  the  wood,  and  the  stones,  and 
the  dust,  and  licked  up  the  water 
that  was  in  the  trench. 

39  And  when  all  the  people  saw 
it,  they  fell  on  their  faces:  and 
they  said.  The  Lord  he  is  the 
God ;  the  Lord  he  is  the  God. 

40  And  Elijah  said  mito  them, 
Take  the  prophets  of  Baal ;  let  not 
one  of  them  escape.  And  they 
took  them:  and  Elijah  brought 
them  down  to  the  brook  Kishon, 
and  slew  them  there,    p.  249. 

The  Prophets  of  Baal  slaugh- 
tered by  Jehu's  command. 

2  Ki.  10—18  And  Jehu  gathered 
all  the  people  together,  and  said 
unto  them,  Ahab  served  Baal  a 
little:  but  Jehu  shall  serve  him 
much. 

19  Now  therefore  call  unto  me 
all  the  prophets  of  Baal,  all  his 
servants,  and  all  his  priests;  let 
none  be  wanting:  for  I  have  a 
great  sacrifice  to  do  to  Baal ;  who- 
soever shall  be  wanting,  he  shall 
not  live.  But  Jehu  did  it  in  sub- 
tilty,  to  the  intent  that  he  might 
destroy  the  worshippers  of  Baal. 

20  Aiid  Jehu  said.  Proclaim  a 
solemn  assembly  for  Baal.  And 
they  proclaimed  it. 

21  And  Jehu  sent  through  all  Is- 
rael: and  all  the  worshippers  of 
Baal  came,  so  that  there  was  not 
a  man  left  that  came  not.  And 
they  came  into  the  house  of  Baal ; 
and  the  iiouse  of  Baal  was  full 
from  one  end  to  another. 


22  And  he  said  unto  him  that 
was  over  the  vestry.  Bring  forth 
vestments  for  all  the  worshippers 
of  Baal. 

23  And  Jehu  went,  and  Jehona- 
dab,  into  the  house  of  Baal,  and 
said.  Search,  and  look  that  there 
be  here  with  you  none  of  the  ser- 
vants of  the  Lord. 

24  And  when  they  went  in  to 
offer  sacrifices  and  bm-nt  offer- 
ings, Jehu  appointed  foiu'score 
men  without,  and  said.  If  any  of 
the  men  whom  I  have  brought 
into  your  hands  escape,  he  that 
letteth  him  go,  his  life  shall  be 
for  the  life  of  him. 

25  And  as  soon  as  he  had  made 
an  end  of  offering  the  burnt  of- 
fering, Jehu  said.  Go  in,  and  slay 
them ;  let  none  come  forth.  And 
they  smote  them  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword ;  and  the  guard  and 
the  captains  cast  them  out. 

PRIESTS  AND  PROPHETS. 


The  corrupt  Priest  and  Pi-ophets 
were  the  cause  of  the  downfall  of 
the  Jewish  people.  See  also  Josh- 
ua the  high  priest.  Zee.  3,  p.  482. 

God's  curse  upon  Eli  the  priest,

12-21.  Also  1  Sa.  8.  1-5;  1  Ki.  13.  1-

Pe.  2.  9,  p.  235;  Mat.  11.  9,  p.  502. 
Women  Prophets,  p.  548. 

Is.  28—7  The  priest  and  the 
prophet  have  erred  through  strong 
drink,  they  are  swallowed  up  of 
wme,  they  are  out  of  the  way 
through  strong  drink ;  they  err  in 
vision,  thev  stumble  in  judgment. 

Is.  30—10  Which  say  to  the  seers. 
See  not;  and  to  the  prophets. 
Prophesy  not  unto  us  right  things, 
speak  linto  us  smooth  things, 
prophesy  deceits. 

Je.  1—4  Then  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  Jeremiah,  say- 
ing 

5  feefore  I  formed  thee  in  the 
belly  I  knew  thee ;  and  before  thou 
earnest  forth  out  of  the  womb  I 
sanctified  thee,  and  I  ordained 
thee  a  prophet  unto  the  nations. 

Je.  5—13  The  prophets  shall  be- 
come wind,  and  the  word  is  not 
in  them. 

30  A  wonderful  and  horrible 
thing  is  committed  in  the  land; 

31  The  prophets  prophesy  false- 
ly, and  the  priests  bear  rule  by 


227 


their  means;  and  my  people  love 
to  have  it  so:  and  what  will  ye  do 
in  the  end  theieof? 

Je.6— 13  From  the  least  of  them 
even  unto  the  greatest  of  them 
every  one  is  given  to  covetous- 
ness;  and  from  the  prophet  e^en 
unto  the  priest  every  one  dealeth 
falsely.    Je.  8. 10,  p.  222. 

Je.  23 — 9  Mine  heart  within  me 
is  hroken  because  of  the  prophets ; 
all  my  bones  shake:  I  am  like  a 
drunken  man,  and  like  a  man 
whom  wine  hath  overcome,  be- 
cause of  the  Lord,  and  because  of 
the  words  of  his  holiness. 

10  For  the  land  is  full  of  adul- 
terers; for  because  of  swearing 
the  land  mourneth;  the  pleasant 
places  of  the  wilderness  are  dried 
up,  and  theu'  course  is  evil,  and 
their  force  is  not  right. 

11  For  both  prophet  and  priest 
are  profane;  yea,  in  my  house 
have  I  found  tlieir  wickedness, 
saith  the  Lord. 

12  Wherefore  their  way  shall  be 
unto  them  as  slippery  ways  in  tlie 
darkness:  they  shall  be  driven  on, 
and  fall  therein :  for  I  will  bring 
evil  upon  them,  even  the  year  of 

f  their  visitation,  saith  the  Lord. 

'  13  And  I  have  seen  folly  in  the 
prophets  of  Samaria;  they  proph- 
esied in  Baal,  and  caused  my  peo- 
ple Lsrael  to  err. 

14  I  have  seen  also  in  the  proph- 
ets of  Jerusalem  a  horrible  thing: 
they  commit  adultery,  aud  walk 
in  lies:  they  strengthen  also  the 
hands  of  evil  doers,  that  none  doth 
return  from  his  wickedness:  they 
are  all  of  them  unto  me  as  Sodom, 
and  the  inhabitants  thereof  as  Go- 
miorrah. 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts  concerning  the  prophets; 
Behold,  1  will  feed  them  witli 
wormwood,  and  make  them  drink 
the  water  of  gall:  for  from  the 
prophets  of  Jeiiisalem  is  profane- 
uess  gone  forth  into  all  the  land. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 
Hearken  not  unto  the  words  oi 
the  prophets  that  prophesy  unto 
you;  they  make  you  vain:  they 
speak  a  vision  of  their  own  heart, 
and  not  out  of  the  mouth  of  the 
Lord. 

21  I  have' not  sent  these  proph- 
ets, yet  they  ran:  1  have  not 
spoken  to  them,  yet  they  proph- 
esied: 

22  But  if  they  had  stood  in  mv 


counsel,  and  had  caused  my  peo- 
ple to  hear  my  M'ords,  then  tliey 
should  have  turned  them  from 
their  evil  way,  and  from  the  evil 
of  their  doings. 

2.0 1  have  heard  what  the  proph- 
ets said,  that  prophesy  lies  in  my 
name,  saying,  1  have  dreamed,  I 
have  dreamed. 

26  How  long  shall  this  be  in  the 
heart  of  the  prophets  that  proph- 
esy lies?  yea,  they  are  prophets  of 
the  deceit  of  their  own  heart ; 

27  Which  think  to  cause  my  peo- 
ple to  forget  my  name  by  their 
dreams,  which  they  tell  eveiT  man 
to  his  neighbour,  as  their  fathers 
have  forgotten  my  name  for  Baal. 

28  The  prophet  that  hath  a 
dream,  let  him  tell  a  dream ;  and 
he  that  hath  my  word,  let  him 
speak  my  word  faithfully.  What 
is  the  chaff  to  the  wheat?  saith 
the  Lord. 

29  Is  not  my  word  like  as  a  fire? 
saith  the  Lord;  and  like  a  ham- 
mer that  breaketh  the  rock  ui 
pieces? 

30  Therefore,  behold,  I  am 
against  the  prophets,  saith  the 
Lord,  that  steal  my  words  every 
one  from  his  neighbour. 

31  Behold,  I  am  against  tlie 
prophets,  saith  the  Lord,  that  use 
their  tongues,  and  say.  He  saith. 

32  Behold,  I  am  against  them 
that  prophesy  false  dreams,  saith 
the  Lord,  and  do  tell  them,  and 
cause  my  people  to  err  by  thek 
lies,  and  by  their  lightness:  yet  I 
sent  them  hot,  nor  commanded 
them. 

Je.  28—15  Then  said  the  prophet 
Jeremiah  mito  Hauaiiiah  the 
prophet.  Hear  now,  Hanauiah; 
The  Lord  hath  not  sent  thee; 
biit  thou  makeh  this  people  to 
trust  in  a  lie. 

lOThereforethussaiththe  Lord  ; 
Behold,  1  will  cast  thee  from  off 
the  face  of  the  earth:  this  year 
thoii  Shalt  die,  because  thou  hast 
taught  rebellion  against  the  Lord. 

17  So  Hananiah  the  prophet  died 
the  same  year  in  the  seventh 
month. 

Je.  31—14  And  I  will  satiate  the 
.soiil  of  the  priests  with  fatness, 
and  my  people  shall  be  satisiied 
with  my  goodness,  saith  the  Lord. 

La.  4—13  For  the  sins  of  her 
prophets,  and  the  iniquities  of  her 
priests,  that  haA'e  shed  the  blood 
of  the  just  in  the  midst  of  her. 


228 


14  They  have  wandered  as  blind 
men  in  the  streets,  they  have  pol- 
luted themselves  with  blood,  so 
that  men  could  not  touch  theii' 
garments. 

Eze.  13—1  And  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  iinto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  prophesy  against 
the  prophets  of  Isi'ael  that  proph- 
esy, and  say  thou  unto  them  that 
prophesy  out  of  their  own  hearts. 
Hear  ye  the  word  of  the  Lord; 

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Woe 
unto  the  foolish  prophets,  that 
follow  their  own  spirit,  and  have 
seen  nothing! 

4  O  Israel,  thy  prophets  are  like 
the  foxes  in  the  deserts. 

5  Ye  have  not  gone  J.p  into  the 
gaps,  neither  made  vip  the  hedge 
for  the  house  of  Israel  to  stand 
in  the  battle  in  the  day  of  the 
Lord. 

6  The^  have  seen  vanity  and 
lying  divination,  saying,  The 
Lord  saith:  and  the  Lord  hath 
not  sent  them:  and  they  have 
made  others  to  liope  that  they 
would  confirm  the  word. 

7  Have  ye  not  seen  a  vain  vision, 
and  have  ye  not  spoken  a  lying 
divination,  whereas  ye  say,  The 
Lord  saith  it;  albeit  I  have  not 
spoken? 

8  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Loi-d 
God;  Because  ye  have  spoken 
vanity,  and  seen  lies,  therefore, 
behold,  J  am  against  you,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

9  And  mine  hand  shall  be  upon 
the  prophets  that  see  vanity,  and 
that  divine  lies:  they  shall  not  be 
in  the  assembly  of  my  people, 
neither  shall  they  be  written  in 
the  writing  of  the  house  of  Israel, 
neither  shall  they  enter  into  the 
land  of  Israel ;  and  ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord  God. 

17  Likewise,  thou  sou  of  man, 
set  thy  face  against  the  daughters 
of  thy  people,  which  prophesy  out 
of  their  own  heart ;  and  prophesy 
thou  against  them, 

18  And  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  Woe  to  the  women  that  sew 
pillows  to  all  armholes,  and  make 
kerchiefs  upon  the  head  of  every 
statiu-e  to  limit  souls!  Will  ye 
hunt  the  souls  of  my  people,  and 
will  ye  save  the  souls  alive  that 
come  unto  you? 

19  And  will  ye  pollute  me  among 
my  people  for  liandfuls  of  barley 
and  for  pieces  of  bread,  to  slay  the 
souls  that  should  not  die,  and  to 


save  the  souls  alive  that  should 
not  live,  by  your  lying  to  my  peo- 
ple that  hear  yom-  lies? 

20  \yherefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord; 'Behold,  I  am  against  yom' 
pillows,  wherewith  ye  there  hunt 
the  souls  to  make  them  fly,  and  I 
will  tear  them  from  your  arms, 
and  will  let  the  souls  go,  even  the 
souls  that  ye  hunt  to  make  them 

tly. 

21  Your  kerchiefs  also  will  I  tear, 
and  deliver  my  people  out  of  your 
hand,  and  they  shall  be  no  more 
in  your  hand  to  be  hunted;  and 
ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

Eze.  14—7  For  every  one  of  the 
house  of  Israel,  or  of  the  stranger 
that  sojourneth  in  Israel,  which 
separateth  himself  from  me,  and 
setteth  up  his  idols  in  his  heart, 
and  putteth  the  stumbling  block 
of  his  iniquity  before  his  face,  and 
cometb  to  a  prophet  to  inquire  of 
him  concerning  me;  I  the  Lord 
will  answer  him  by  myself : 

8  And  I  will  set  my  face  against 
that  man,  and  will  make  him  a 
sign  and  a  proverb,  and  I  will  cut 
him  off  from  the  midst  of  my  peo- 
ple ;  and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord. 

9  And  if  the  prophet  be  deceived 
when  he  hath  spoKen  a  thing, I  the 
Lord  have  deceived  that  prophet, 
and  I  will  stretch  out  my  hand  up- 
on him,  and  will  destroy  him  from 
the  midst  of  my  people  Israel. 

Eze.  33 — 30  Also,  thou  son  of  man, 
the  children  of  thy  people  still  are 
talking  against  thee  by  the  walls 
and  in  the  doors  of  the  houses, 
and  speak  one  to  another,  every 
one  to  his  brother,  saying.  Come, 
I  pray  you,  and  hear  what  is  the 
word  that  cometh  forth  from  the 
Lord. 

31  And  they  come  unto  thee  as 
the  people  cometh,  and  they  sit 
before  thee  as  my  people,  and  they 
hear  thy  words,  but  they  will  not 
do  them:  for  with  their  mouth 
they  shew  much  love,  but  their 
heart  goeth  after  their  covetous- 
ness. 

32  And,  lo,  thou  art  unto  them 
as  a  very  lovely  song  of  one  that 
hath  a  pleasant  voice, and  can  play 
well  on  an  instrument:  for  they 
hear  thy  words,  but  they  do  them 
not. 

33  And  when  this  cometh  to  pass, 
(lo,  it  will  come,)  then  shall  they 
know  that  a  prophet  hath  been 
among  them. 


229 


1  Sa.  10—20  And  Saul  sent  mes- 
sengers to  take  David :  and  when 
they  saw  tlie  company  of  the 
lirophets  prophesy  ing.and  Samuel 
■standing  as  appointed  over  them, 
the  Spirit  of  God  was  upon  the 
messengers  of  Saul,  and  tliey  also 
prophesied. 

^1  And  when  it  was  told  Saul,  he 
sent  other  messengers,  and  they 
prophesied  likewise.  And  Saul 
sent  messengers  again  the  third 
time,  and  they  prophesied  also. 

23  And  he  went  thither:  and  the 
Spirit  of  God  was  upon  him  also, 
and  he  went  on,  and  prophesied, 
until  he  came  to  Naioth. 

24  And  he  stripped  off  his  clothes 
also,  and  prophesied  before  Sam- 
uel in  like  manner,  and  lay  down 
naked  all  that  day  and  all  that 
night.  Wherefore  they  say.  Is 
Saul  also  among  the  prophets? 
See  also  l  Sa.  10.  5-13. 

Ho.  4—0  My  people  are  destroyed 
for  lack  of  knowledge:  because 
thou  hast  rejected  knowledge,  I 
will  also  reject  thee,  that  thou 
shalt  be  no  priest  to  me:  seeing 
thou  hast  forgotten  the  law  of 
thy  God,  I  will  also  forget  thy 
children. 

9  And  there  shall  be,  like  peo- 
ple, like  priest:  and  1  will  punish 
them  for  their  ways,  and  reward 
them  their  doings. 

Ho.  6—9  And  as  troops  of  robbers 
wait  for  a  man,  so  the  company 
of  priests  murder  in  the  way 
by  consent:  for  they  commit 
lewdness. 

Ho.  9—7  The  prophet  is  a  fool, 
the  spiritual  man  is  mad,  for  the 
multitude  of  thine  iniquity,  and 
the  great  hatred.  See  also  Jo.  2. 
28.  p.  72. 

Mi.  3—5  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
concerning  theprophetsthatmake 
my  people  err,  tliatbite  with  their 
teetn,  and  cry,  Peace ;  and  he  that 
putteth  not  into  their  mouths, 
they  even  prepare  war  agamst 
him : 

0  Therefore  night  shall  be  unto 
you,  that  ye  shall  not  have  a  vi- 
sion ;  and  it  shall  be  dark  unto 
you,  that  ye  shall  not  divine;  and 
the  sun  shall  go  down  over  the 
prophets,  and  the  day  shall  be 
dark  over  them. 
7  Thenshall  the  seers  be  ashamed, 
and  the  diviners  confounded :  yea, 
they  shall  all  cover  their  lips;  for 
there  is  no  answer  of  God. 


11  The  heads  thereof  judge  for 
reward,  and  the  priests  thereof 
teach  for  hire,  and  the  prophets 
thereof  diA^me  for  money:  yet 
will  they  lean  upon  the  Lord, 
and  say.  Is  not  the  Lord  among 
us?  none  evil  can  come  upon  us. 

Zep.  3—4  Her  prophets  are  light 
and  treacherous  persons:  Tier 
priests  have  polluted  the  sanctu- 
ary, they  have  done  violence  to 
the  law. 

Mi.  2—11  If  a  man  walking  in  the 
spirit  and  falsehood  do  lie.  saying, 
I  will  prophesy  unto  thee  of  wine 
and  of  strong  drink ;  he  shall  even 
be  the  prophet  of  this  people. 

1  Sa.  2—13  The  priest's  custom 
with  the  people  was,  that,  when 
any  man  offered  sacrilice,  the 
priest's  servant  came,  while  the 
riesh  was  in  seething,  with  a  flesh- 
hook  of  three  teeth  in  his  hand ; 

14  And  he  struck  it  into  the  pan, 
or  kettle,  or  caldron,  or  pot;  all 
that  theneshhook  brought  up  the 
priest  took  for  himself. 

Zee.  13-4  The  prophet  shall  be 
ashamed  when  he  liath  prophe- 
sied: neither  shall  he  wear  a 
rough  garment  to  deceive,    p.  484. 

Mai.  1—10  Who  is  there  even 
among  you  that  would  shut  the 
doors  for  nought?  neither  do  ye 
kindle  fire  on  jiiine  altar  for 
nought.  I  have  no  pleasure  in  you, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  neither 
will  I  accept  an  offering  at  your 
hand. 

Mai.  2—1  And  now,  O  ye  priests, 
this  commandment  is  for  you. 

2  If  ye  we  will  not  hear,  and  if  ye 
will  not  lay  it  to  heart,  to  give 
glory  unto  my  name.  I  will  even 
send  a  curse  upon  you,  and  1  will 
curse  your  blessings:,  yea,  I  have 
cursed  them  already,  because  ye 
do  not  lay  it  to  heart. 

3  Behold,  I  will  corrupt  your 
seed,  and  spread  dung  upon  your 
faces,  even  the  dung  of  your  sol- 
emn feasts;  and  one  shall  take 
you  away  with  it.  ^ 

4  And  ye  shall  know  that  I  have 
sent  this  commandment  unto  you, 
that  my  covenant  might  be  with 
Levi,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

.')  My  covenant  was  with  him  of 
life  and  peace ;  and  I  gave  them 
to  him  for  the  fear  wherewith  he 
feared  me. 

G  The  law  of  truth  was  in  his 
mouth,  and  iniquity  was  notfound 
in  his  lips:  he  walked  with  me  in 


230 


peace  aud  equity,  and  did  tuxn 
many  away  from  iniquity. 

7  For  the  priest's  lips  should 
keep  knowledge,  and  they  should 
seek  the  law  at  his  mouth :  for  he 
is  the  messenger  of  the  Lokd  of 
hosts. 

8  But  ye  are  departed  out  of  the 
way;  ye  have  caused  many  to 
stumble  at  the  law;  ye  have  cor- 
mpted  the  covenant  of  Levi, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

9  Therefore  have  I  also  made 
you  contemptible  aud  base  before 
all  the  people,  according  as  ye 
have  not  kept  my  ways,  but  have 
been  partial  to  the  law. 

Mai.  4—5  Behold,  I  will  send  you 
Elijah  the  prophet  before  the  com- 
ing of  the  great  aud  dreadful  day 
of  the  Lord.    p.  487. 

Mat.  7—1.5  Beware  of  false  proph- 
ets, which  come  to  you  in  sheep's 
clothing,  but  inwardly  they  are 
ravening  wolves,    p.  288. 

Mat.  10 — 11  He  that  receiveth  a 
prophet  in  the  name  of  a  prophet 
shall  receive  a  prophet's  reward; 
and  he  that  receiveth  a  righteous 
man  in  the  name  of  a  righteous 
man  shall  receive  a  righteous 
man's  reward. 

Mat.  13—54  And  when  Jesus  was 
come  into  his  own  country,  he 
taught  them  in  their  synagogue, 
insomuch  that  they  were  aston- 
ished, and  said.  Whence  hath 
this  man  this  wisdom,  and  these 
mighty  works? 

55  Is  not  this  the  carpenter's 
son?  is  not  his  mother  called 
Mary?  and  his  brethren,  James, 
aud  .loses,  and  Simon,  and  Judas? 

56  And  his  sisters,  are  they  not 
all  with  us?  Whence  then  hath 
this  man  all  these  things? 

57  And  they  were  offended  in 
liim.  But  Jesus  said  unto  them, 
A  prophet  is  not  without  honour, 
save  in  his  own  coimtry,  and  in 
his  own  house.    Mar.  6.  4. 

Mat.  24—11  And  many  false 
prophets  shall  rise,  and  shall  de- 
ceive many.    p.  487. 

Lu.  11 — 47  Woe  unto  you!  for  ye 
build  the  sepulchres  of  the  proph- 
ets, and  your  fathers  killed  them. 

48  Truly  ye  bear  witness  that  ye 
allow  the  deeds  of  your  fathers: 
for  they  indeed  killed  them,  and 
ye  build  their  sepulchres. 

49  Therefore  also  said  the  wis- 
dom of  God,  I  will  send  them 
prophets  and  apostles,  and  some 


of  them  they  shall  slay  and 
persecute : 

50  That  the  blood  of  all  the 
prophets,  which  was  shed  from 
the  foundation  of  the  world,  may 
be  required  of  this  generation ; 

51  From  the  blood  of  Abel  unto 
the  blood  of  Zacharias,  which  per- 
ished between  the  altar  and  the 
temple :  verily  I  say  unto  yoii.  It 
shall  be  required  of  this  genera- 
tion.   Ge.  4.  8;  2  Chr.  24.  20,  21,  22. 

Lu.  13 — 33  And  Jesus  said,  it  can- 
not be  that  a  prophet  perish  out  of 
Jerusalem. 

34  O  Jerusalem.  Jerusalem, 
which  killest  the  prophets,  and 
stonest  them  that  are  sent  unto 
thee;  how  often  would  1  have 
gathered  thy  children  together, 
as  a  hen  doth  gather  her  brood  iin- 
der  her  wings,  and  ye  would  not ! 

Lu.  16—16  The  law  and  the 
prophets  were  until  John:  since 
that  time  the  kingdom  of  God  is 
preached,  and  every  man  press- 
etli  into  it. 

31  And  he  said  unto  him.  If  they 
hear  not  Moses,  and  the  prophets, 
neither  will  they  be  persuaded, 
though  one  rose  from  the  dead. 

Lu.  24—25  Jesus  said  unto  them, 
O  fools,  and  slow  of  heart  to  be- 
lieve all  that  the  prophets  have 
spoken,    p.  523. 

Jno.  7—52  They  answered  and 
said  unto  him.  Art  thou  also  of 
Galilee?  Search,  and  look:  for 
out  of  Galilee  ariseth  no  prophet. 

1  Th.  5—20  Despise  not  prophe- 
syings.  Prove  all  things;  hold 
fast  that  which  is  good. 

2  Pe.  1—20  No  prophecy  of  the 
Scripture  is  of  any  private  inter- 
pretation. 

21  For  the  prophecy  came  not 
in  old  time  by  the  will  of  man: 
but  holy  men  of  God  spake  as 
they  were  moved  by  the  Holy 
Ghost.  See  also  Propliecy  pre- 
ferred to  the  Gift  of  Tongues,  1 
Co.  14,  p.  282. 

PASTORS.  Ministers,  Preachers. 
See  also  Pastors  and  Pastures, 
p.  272. 

Je.  2—8  The  priests  said  not, 
WTiere  is  the  Lord?  and  they 
that  handle  the  law  knew  me 
not:  the  pastors  also  trausgi-essed 
against  me,  and  the  prophets 
prophesied  by  Baal,  and  walked 
after  things  that  do  not  profit. 


231 


Je.  3—15  And  I  will  give  you 
pastors  according  to  iniue  heart, 
which  shall  feed  you  with  kuowl- 
edge  and  understanding. 

tie.  10—21  For  the  pastors  are  be- 
come brutish,  and  have  not  sought 
the  Lord:  therefore  they  shall 
not  prosper,  and  all  their  tJocks 
shall  be  scattered. 

Ep.  4—11  And  he  gave  some, 
apostles;  and  some,  prophets;  and 
some,  evangelists;  and  some,  pas- 
tors and  teachers; 

12  For  the  perfecting  of  the 
saints,  for  the  work  of  the  minis- 
try, for  the  edifying  of  the  body 
of  Christ. 

Ps.  IW — 1  Who  maketh  his  an- 
gels spirits ;  his  ministers  a  flam- 
ing tire. 

Is.  61— C  Ye  shall  be  named  the 
Priests  of  the  Lord:  men  shall 
call  you  the  Ministers  of  our  God: 
ye  shall  eat  the  riches  of  the  Gen- 
tiles, and  in  tlieir  glory  shall  ye 
boast  yourselves,    p.  473. 

Mat.  20—26  Whosoever  will  be 
great  among  you,  let  him  be  your 
minister; 

27  And  whosoever  will  be  chief 
among  you,  let  him  be  your  serv- 
ant: 

28  Even  as  the  Son  of  man  came 
not  to  be  ministered  unto,  but  to 
mini.ster,  and  to  give  bis  life  a 
ransom  for  many.    p.  401. 

1  Co.  4—1  Let  a  man  so  accomit 
of  us,  as  of  the  ministers  of  Christ, 
and  stewards  of  the  mysteries  of 
God. 

2  Moreover  it  is  remiired  in 
stewards,  that  a  man  be  found 
faithful. 

2  Co.  3—6  Who  also  hath  made 
us  able  ministers  of  the  new  tes- 
tament; not  of  the  letter,  biit  of 
the  spirit:  for  the  letter  killeth, 
but  the  spirit  giveth  life. 

2  Co.  4—1  Therefore,  seeing  we 
have  this  ministry,  as  we  have  re- 
ceived mercy,  we  faint  not ; 

2  But  have  renounced  the  hid- 
den things  of  dishonesty, not  walk- 
ing in  craftiness,  nor  handlmg  the 
word  of  God  deceitfully ;  but,  by 
manifestation  of  the  truth,  com- 
mending ourselves  to  every  man's 
conscience  in  the  sight  of  God. 

3  But  if  our  gospel  be  hid,  it  is 
hid  to  them  that  are  lost: 

4  In  whom  the  god  of  this  world 
hath  blinded  the  minds  of  them 
which  believe  not,  lest  the  li^ht 
of  the  glorious  gospel  of  Christ, 


who  is  the  image  of  God,  should 
shine  unto  them. 

5  For  we  preach  not  ourselves, 
but  Christ  Jesus  the  Lord;  and 
ourselves  your  servants  for  Jesus' 
sake. 

2  Co.  6—3  Giving  no  offence  in 
any  thing,  that  the  ministry  be 
not  blamed: 

4  Biit  in  all  things  approving 
ourselves  as  the  ministers  of  God. 

Col.  1 — 2.5  I  am  made  a  minister, 
according  to  the  dispensation  oi 
God  which  is  given  to  me  for  you, 
to  fultil  the  word  of  God. 

Ro.  10—14  How  then  shall  they 
call  on  him  in  whom  they  have 
not  believed?  and  how  shall  they 
believe  in  him  of  whom  they  have 
not  heard?  and  how  shall  they 
hear  without  a  preacher? 

15  And  how  snail  they  preach, 
except  they  be  sent?  as  it  is  writ- 
ten. How  beautiful  are  the  feet 
of  them  that  preach  the  gospel  of 
peace,  and  bring  glad  tidings  of 
good  things!    Is.  52.  7,  p.  472. 

1  Co.  2 — 4  My  speech  and  preach- 
ing was  not  with  enticing  words 
of  man's  wisdom,  but  in  demon- 
stration of  the  Spirit  and  of  power. 

1  Ti.  2—7  W^hereunto  I  am  or- 
dained a  preacher,  and  an  apostle, 
(I  speak  the  tmth  in  Christ,  and 
lie  not.)  a  teacher  of  the  Gentiles 
in  faith  and  verity. 

2  Ti.  4—2  Preach  the  word;  be 
instant  in  f3ea.son,  out  of  season- 
reprove,  rebuke,  exhort  with  all 
longsuffering  and  doctrine.  Ec.  1.

and  Mar.  16.  15-18,  p.  521 ;  Mar.  14.

Mat.  24—14  And  thisgospel  of  the 
kingdom  shall  he  preached  in  all 
the  world  for  a  witness  unto  all 
nations;  and  then  shall  the  end 
come.    p.  487.

and  remission  of  sins  should  be 
preached  m  his  name  among  all 
nations,  beginning  at  Jerusalem,

Ro.  1—15  So,  as  much  as  in  me  is, 
I  am  ready  to  preach  the  gospel  to 
yon  that  are  at  Rome  also. 

16  For  I  am  not  ashamed  of  the 
gospel  of  Christ:  for  it  is  the  pow- 
er of  God  unto  salvation  to  every 
one  that  believeth;  to  the  Jew 
first,  and  also  to  the  Greek. 


232 


Ro.  15—19  From  Jerusalem,  and 
round  about.I  have  fully  preached 
the  gospel  of  Christ. 

20  Yea,  so  have  I  strived  to 
preach  the  gospel.not  where  Christ 
was  named,  lest  I  should  build 
upon  another  man's  foundation. 

1  Co.  1—17  For  Christ  sent  me 
not  to  baptize,  but  to  preach  the 
gospel:  not  with  wisdom  of  words, 
lest  the  cross  of  Christ  should  be 
made  of  none  effect. 

18  For  the  preaching  of  the  cross 
is  to  them  that  perish,  foolishness ; 
but  imto  us  which  are  saved,  it  is 
the  power  of  God. 

1.  Co.  9—13  Do  ye  not  know  that 
they  which  minister  about  holy 
things  live  of  the  things  of  the 
temple?  and  they  which  wait  at 
the  altar  are  partakers  with  the 
altar?  .      ,      ,    . 

U  Even  so  hath  the  Lord  ordain- 
ed that  they  which  preach  the 
gospel  should  live  of  the  gospel. 

15  But  I  have  used  none  of  these 
things:  neither  have  I  written 
these  things,  that  it  should  be  so 
done  unto  me :  for  it  were  better 
for  me  to  die,  than  that  any  man 
should  make  my  glorying  void. 

16  For  though  1  preach  the  gos- 
pel, I  have  nothing  to  glory  of: 
for  necessity  is  laid  upon  me ;  yea, 
woe  is  unto  me,  if  I  preach  not 
the  gospel! 

17  For  if  I  do  this  thing  willingly, 
I  have  a  reward :  but  if  against  my 
will,  a  dispensation  of  the  gospel 
is  committed  unto  me. 

18  What  is  my  reward  then? 
Verily  that,  when  I  preach  the 
gosi)el,  1  may  make  the  gospel  of 
Christ  without  charge, that  I  abuse 
not  my  power  in  the  gospel. 

22T0  the  weak  became!  asweak, 
that  1  might  gain  the  weak:  I  am 
made  all  things  to  all  men,  that  I 
might  by  all  means  save  some. 

2  Co.  4—3  But  if  our  gospel  be  hid, 
it  is  hid  to  them  that  are  lost. 

Gal.  1—8  But  though  we,  or  an 
angel  from  heaven,  preach  any 
other  gospel  unto  you  than  that 
which  we  have  preached  unto 
you,  let  him  be  accursed. 

9  As  we  said  before,  so  say  I  now 
again.  If  any  man  preach  any 
other  gosijel  imto  you  than  that  ye 
have  received, let  him  be  accursed. 

Re.  14— 6  And  I  sawanother  angel 
fly  in  the  midst  of  heaven,  having 
the  everlasting  gospel  to  preach 
unto  them  that  dwell  on  the  earth.

Prayer,  etc.  See  also  Mat.  5.  44,

Lord's  Last  Prayer,  Mar.  14,  Lu.  22,,. 
p.  513. 

Mat.  6—5  When  thou  prayest, 
thou  shalt  not  be  as  the  hypo- 
crites :  for  they  love  to  pray  stand- 
ing in  the  synagogues  and  m  the 
corners  of  the  streets,  that  they 
may  be  seen  of  men.  Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  They  have  their  rewai-d. 

6  But  thou,  when  thou  prayest, 
enter  into  thy  closet,  and  when 
thou  hast  shut  thy  door,  pray  to 
thy  Father  which  is  in  secret ;  and 
thy  Father  which  seeth  in  secret 
shall  reward  thee  openly.   - 

7  But  when  ye  pray,  use  not 
vain  repetitions,  as  the  heathen 
do:  for  they  think  that  they  shall 
be  heard  for  their  much  speaking. 

8  Be  not  ye  therefore  like  unto 
them:  for  your  Father  knoweth 
what  things  ye  have  need  of,  be- 
fore ye  ask  him. 

9  After  this  manner  therefore 

gray  ye :  Our  Father  which  art  in 
eaven.  Hallowed  be  thy  name. 

10  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will 
be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven. 

11  Give  us  this  day  our  daily 
bread. 

12  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as 
we  forgive  our  debtors. 

13  And  lead  us  not  into  tempta- 
tion, but  deliver  us  from  evil: 
For  thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the 
power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever. 
Amen.    p.  94. 

Lu.  11—1  And  as  he  was  praying 
in  a  certain  place,  when  he  ceased, 
one  of  his  disciples  said  unto  him. 
Lord,  teach  us  to  pray,  as  John 
also  taught  his  disciples. 

2  And  he  said  unto  them.  When 
ye  pray,  say.  Our  Father  which  art 
in  heaven.  Hallowed  be  thy  name. 
Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be 
done,  as  m  heaven,  so  in  earth. 

3  Give  us  day  by  day  our  daily 
bread. 

4  And  forgive  us  our  sins;  for 
we  also  forgive  every  one  that  is 
mdebted  to  us.  And  lead  us  not 
into  temptation;  but  deliver  us 
from  evil. 


233 


Lu.  18—10  Two  men  went  up  in- 
to the  temple  to  pray ;  the  one  a 
Pharisee,  and  the  other  a  publi- 
can. 

11  The  Pharisee  stood  and  pray- 
ed thus  with  himself, God,  I  thank 
thee,  that  1  am  not  as  other  men 
are,  extortioners,  unjust,  adulter- 
ers, or  even  as  this  publican. 

12  I  £a.st  twice  in  the  week,  I 
give  tithes  of  all  that  I  possess. 

13  And  the  publican,  standing' 
afar  off,  would  not  lift  up  so  much 
as  his  eyes  unto  heaven,  but  smote 
upon  his  breast,  saying,  God  be 
merciful  to  me  a  sinner. 

14  1  tell  you, this  man  went  down 
to  his  house  justified  rather  than 
the  other:  for  every  one  that  ex- 
alteth  himself  shall  be  abased: 
and  he  that  humbleth  himself 
shall  be  exalted. 

Pro.  30—1  The  words  of  Agur  the 
son  of  Jakeh,  even  the  prophecy: 
the  man  .spake  unto  Ithiel,  even 
unto  Ithiel  and  Ucal, 

2  Surely  I  am  more  bmtish  than 
any  man,  and  have  not  the  under- 
standing of  a  man. 

3  I  neither  learned  wisdom,  nor 
have  the  knowledge  of  the  holy. 

7  Two  things  have  I  required  of 
thee;  deny  me  them  not  oefore  I 
die: 

8  Remove  far  from  me  vanity 
and  lies;  give  me  neither  poverty 
nor  riches;  feed  me  with  food 
convenient  for  me : 

9  Lest  I  be  full,  and  deny  thee, 
and  say.  Who  is  the  Lord?  or  lest 
1  be  poor,  and  steal,  and  take  the 
name  of  my  God  in  vain. 

Hab.  3—1  A  prayer  of  Habakkuk 
the  prophet. 

2  O  Lord,  I  have  heard  thy 
speech,  and  was  afraid :  O  Lord, 
revive  thy  work  in  the  midst  of 
the  years,in  the  midst  of  the  years 
make  known;  in  wrath  remember 
mercy. 

Mar.  11—24  Therefore  I  say  unto 
you.  What  thmgs  soever  ye  desire, 
when  ye  pray,  believe  that  ye  re- 
ceive them,  and  ye  shall  have 
them. 

•25  And  when  ye  stand  praying, 
forgive,  if  ye  have  aught  against 
any ;  that  your  Father  also  which 
is  in  heaven  may  forgive  you  your 
trespasses. 

26  But  if  ye  do  not  forgive, 
neither  will  your  Father  which 
is  in  heaven  forgive  your  tres- 
passes. 


Lu.  6—12  And  it  came  to  pass  Ln 
those  days,  that  Jesus  went  out 
into  a  mountain  to  pray,  and  con- 
tinued all  night  in  prayer  to 
God. 

Lu.  22—46  Jesus  said  unto  them, 
Why  sleep  ye?  rise  and  pray,  lest 
ye  enter  into  temptation,    p.  513. 

Ps.  55—17  Evening, and  morning, 
and  at  noon,  will  1  pray,  and  cry 
aloud:  and  he  shall  hear  my 
voice. 

1  Ti.2— 1 1  exhorttherefore,that, 
first  of  all,  supplications,  pray- 
ers, intercessions,  and  giving  of 
thanks,  be  made  for  all  men; 

2  For  kings,  and  for  all  that  are 
in  authority ;  that  we  may  lead  a 
quiet  and  peaceable  life  in  all 
godliness  and  honesty. 

3  For  this  is  good  and  acceptable 
in  the  sight  of  God  our  Saviour; 

4  Who  will  have  all  men  to 
be  saved,  afid  to  come  unto  the 
knowledge  of  the  truth. 

8  I  will  therefore  that  men  pray 
every  where, lifting  up  holy  hands, 
without  wrath  and  doubting. 

Is.  1—15  i\iid  when  ye  spread 
forth  your  hands,  I  will  hide  mine 
eyes  from  you ;  yea,  when  ye  make 
many  prayers,  I  will  not  hear: 
your  hands  are  full  of  blood, 
p.  34. 

2  Ti.  1—3 1  thank  God,  with  pure 
conscience,  that  without  ceasing  I 
have  remembrance  of  thee  in  my 
prayers  night  and  day. 

Ja.  5—13  Is  any  among  you  af- 
flicted? let  him  pray.  Is  any  mer- 
ry? let  him  sing  psalms. 

14  Is  any  sick  among  you?  let 
him  call  for  the  elders  of  the 
church;  and  let  them  pray  over 
him.  anointing  him  with  oil  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord : 

15  And  the  prayer  of  faith  shall 
save  the  sick,  and  the  Lord  shall 
raise  him  up;  and  if  he  have  com- 
mitted sins,  they  shall  be  forgiven 
him. 

16  Confess  your  faults  one  to  an- 
other, and  pray  one  for  another, 
that  ye  may  be  healed.  The  ef- 
fectual fervent  prayer  of  a  right- 
eous man  availeth  much. 

1  Th.  5—17  Pray  without  ceasmg. 

2  Th.  3—1  Finally,  brethren,  pray 
for  us,  that  the  word  of  the  Lord 
may  have  free  course,  and  be  glo- 
rified, even  as  it  is  with  you: 

2  And  that  we  may  be  deliver- 
ed from  unreasonable  and  wicked 
men:  for  all  men  have  not  faith.

De.  7—6  Thou  art  a  holy  people 
unto  the  Lokd  thy  God :  the  Lokd 
thy  God  hath  chosen  thee  to  be  a 
special  people  unto  himself,  above 
all  people  that  are  upon  the  face 
of  the  earth. 

7  The  Lokd  did  not  set  his  love 
upon  you,  nor  choose  you,  be- 
cause ye  were  more  in  number 
than  any  people ;  for  ye  were  the 
fewest  of  all  people : 

8  But  becaiise  the  Lord  loved 
you,  and  because  he  would  keep 
the  oath  which  he  had  sworn  un- 
to your  fathers,  hath  the  Lord 
redeemed  you  out  of  the  house  of 
bondmen,  from  the  hand  of  Pha- 
raoh king  of  Egypt. 

De.  14—2  Thou  art  a  holy  peo- 
ple, and  the  Lord  hath  chosen 
thee  to  be  a  peculiar  people  unto 
himself,  above  all  the  nations 
that  are  upon  the  earth,    p.  304. 

De.  23—14  For  the  Lord  thy  God 
walketh  in  the  midst  of  thy  camp, 
to  deliver  thee,  and  to  give  up 
thine  enemies  before  thee ;  there- 
fore shall  thy  camp  be  holy:  that 
he  see  no  unclean  thing  in  thee, 
and  turn  away  from  thee. 

De.  26-18  And  the  Lord  hath 
avouched  thee  this  day  to  be  his 
peculiar  people,  as  he  hath  prom- 
ised thee,  and  that  thou  should- 
est  keep  all  his  commandments; 

19  And  to  make  thee  high  above 
all  nations  which  he  hath  made, 
in  praise,  name,  and  in  honour. 

JJe.  32—9  For  the  Lord's  portion 
is  his  people ;  Jacob  is  the  lot  of 
his  inheritance. 

10  He  found  him  in  a  desert 
land,  and  in  the  waste  howling 
wilderness;  he  led  him  about,  he 
instructed  him,  he  kept  him  as 
the  apple  of  his  eye. 

Ex.  32—9  The  Lord  said  unto 
Moses,  I  have  seen  this  people, 
aTid,  it  is  a  stiffnecked  people: 

10  Now  therefore  let  me  alone, 
that  my  wrath  may  wax  hot 
against  them,  and  that  I  may 
consume  them:  and  I  will  make 
of  thee  a  great  nation,    p.  47. 


11  And  Moses  said.  Lord,  why 
doth  thy  wrath  wax  hot  against 
thy  people,  which  thou  hast 
brought  forth  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt  with  great  power,  and 
with  a  mighty  hand? 

12  Wherefore  should  the  Egyp- 
tians speak,  and  say.  For  mischief 
did  he  bring  them  out.  to  slay 
them  in  the  mountains,  and  to . 
consume  them  from  the  face  of 
the  earth?  Turn  from  thy  fierce 
wrath,  and  repent  of  this  evil 
against  thy  people. 

14  And  the  Lord  repented  of 
the  evil  which  he  thought  to  do 
unto  his  people.  Continued  on  p. 
47.    See  also  Nu.  14,  p.  328. 

Is.  3—12  As  for  my  people,  chil- 
dren are  their  oppressors,  and  wo- 
men rule  over  them.  They  which 
lead  thee  cause  thee  to  err,  and 
destroy  the  way  of  thy  paths. 

14  The  Lord  will  enter  into 
judgment  with  the  ancients  of. 
his  people,  and  the  princes:  for 
ye  have  eaten  up  the  vineyard; 
the  spoil  of  the  poor  is  in  your 
houses. 

15  What  mean  ye  that  ye  beat 
my  people  to  pieces,  and  grind 
the  faces  of  the  poor?  saith  the 
Lord. 

Is.  9—2  The  people  that  walked 
in  darkness  nave  seen  a  great 
light:  they  that  dwell  in  the  land 
of  the  shadow  of  death,  upon 
them  hath  the  light  shined. 

16  For  the  leaders  of  this  people 
cause  them  to  err ;  and  they  that 
are  led  of  them  are  destroyed. 

Is.  29—13  Wherefore  the  Lord 
said.  Forasmuch  as  this  people 
draw  near  me  with  their  mouth, 
and  with  their  lips  do  honour 
me,  but  have  removed  their 
heart  far  from  me,  and  their  fear 
toward  me  is  taught  by  the  pre- 
cept of  men: 

14  Therefore,  I  will  do  a  work 
among  this  people,  even  a  marvel- 
lous work  and  a  Wonder:  for  the 
wisdom  of  their  wise  men  shall 
perish,  and  the  understanding  of 
their  prudent  men  shall  be  hid. 

Is.  30—9  That  this  is  a  rebellious 
people,  lying  children,  that  will 
not  hear  the  law  of  the  Lord. 

Is.  60—21  Thy  people  also  shall 
be  ail  righteous:  tney  shall  in- 
herit the  land  for  ever,  the 
branch  of  my  planting,  the  work 
of  my  hands,  that  I  may  be  glo- 
rified.

the  Lord:  thou  shalt  be  called.

Ps.  44—12  Thou  sellest  thy  peo-

Je.  7—16  Pray  not  thou  for  this 
people,  neither  lift  up  cry  nor 
prayer  for  them,  neitlier  make 
intercession  to  me :  for  I  will  not 
hear  thee. 

Je.  8—7  Yea,  the  stork  in  the 
heaven  knoweth  her  appointed 
times;  and  the  turtle  and  the 
crane  and  the  swallow  observe 
the  time  of  their  coming;  but  my 
people  know  not  the  judgment  of 
the  Lord. 

Ho.  2—23  And  I  will  say  to  them 
which  were  not  my  people.  Thou 
art  my  people ;  and  they  shall  say. 
Thou  art  my  God.

praises  of  him  who  hath  called 
you  out  of  darkness  iuto  his  mar- 
vellous light : 

10  Which  in  time  past  were  not 
a  people,  but  are  now  the  people 
of  God :  which  had  not  obtained 
mercy,  but  now  have  obtained 
mercy.

Job  24—4  They  turn  the  needy 
out  of  the  way:  the  poor  of  the 
earth  hide  themselves  together. 

Job  29—12  I  delivered  the  poor 
that  cried,  and  the  fatherless,  and 
him  that  had  none  to  help  him. 

13  The  blessing  of  him  that  was 
ready  to  perish  came  upon  me: 
and  I  caused  the  widow's  heart  to 
sing  for  joy. 

16  I  was  a  father  to  the  poor: 
and  the  cause  which  1  knew  not  1 
searched  out.    p.  386.

Ps.  12—5  For  the  oppression  of 
the  poor,  for  the  sighing  of  the

hath  given  to  the  poor;  his  righte- 
ousness endureth  forever;  his  horn 
shall  be  exalted  with  honour. 

Pro.  10—4  He  becometh  poor  that 
dealethwith  a  slack  hand :  but  the 
hand  of  the  diligent  maketh  rich. 

15  The  rich  man's  wealth  is  his 
strong  city:  the  destruction  of 
the  poor  is  their  poverty.

Pro.  13—18  Poverty  and  shame 
shall  be  to  him  that  refuseth  in- 
struction: but  he  that  regardeth 
reproof  shall  be  honoured. 

23  Much  food  is  in  the  tillage  ot 
the  poor:  but  there  is  that  is  de- 
stroyed for  want  of  judgment. 

Pro.  14—20  The  poor  is  hated 
even  of  his  own  neighbour:  but 
the  rich  hath  many  friends.    . 

21  He  that  despiseth  his  neigh- 
bour sinneth:  but  he  that  hath 
mercy  on  the  poor,  happy  is  he. 

31  He  that  oppresseth  the  poor 
reproacheth  his  Maker:  but  he 
that  honoureth  him  hath  mercy 
on  the  poor.  ,    , ,     ^, 

Pro.  17—5  Whoso  niocketh  the 
poor  reproacheth  his  Maker:  and 
he  that  is  glad  at  calamities  shall 
not  be  unpunished. 

Pro.  18—23  The  poor  useth  en- 
treaties; but  the  rich  answereth 
roughly. 

Pro.  19—1  Better  is  the  poor  that 
walketh  in  his  integrity,  thau  he 
that  is  perverse  in  his  lips,  and  is 
a  fool.  '  ,  .  .      , 

4  Wealth  maketh  many  friends; 
but  the  poor  is  separated  from  his 
neighbom-.  „  ,  , 

7  All  the  bretlu-en  of  the  poor  do 
hate  him :  how  much  more  do  his 
friends  go  far  from  him?  he  pm-- 
sueth  them  with  words,  yet  they 
are  wanting  to  him. 

17  He  that  hath  pity  upon  the 
poor  lendeth  unto  the  Lord  ;  and 
that  which  he  hath  given  will  he 
pay  him  again.  ,    ,  . 

Pro.  21—13  Whoso  stoppeth  his 
ears  at  the  cry  of  the  poor,  shall 
cry  himself  .but  shall  not  be  heard. 
Pro.  22—22  Rob  not  the  poor,  be- 
cause he  is  vpov:  neither  oppress 
theaflaicted  inthegate:  .

cause,  and  spoil  the  soul  of  those 
that  spoiled  them. 

Pro.  24—33  Yet  a  little  sleep,  a 
little  slumber,  a  little  folding  of 
the  hands  to  sleep: 

34  So  shall  thy  poverty  come  as 
one  that  travelleth ;  and  thy  want 
as  an  armed  man. 

Pro.  28—3  A  poor  man  that  op- 
presseth the  poor  is  like  a  sweep- 
ing rain  which  leaveth  no  food. 

6  Better  is  the  poor  that  walketh 
in  his  uprightness,  than  he  that 
is  perverse  in  his  ways,  though  he 
be  rich.  ,        ,     ^, 

27  He  that  giveth  unto  the  poor 
shall  not  lack :  but  he  that  hideth 
his  eyes  shall  have  many  a  curse. 


Is.  66—2  But  to  this  man  will  1 
look,  even  to  him  that  is  poor  and 
of  a  contrite  spirit. 

Am.  8—4  O  ye  that  swallow  up 
the  needy,  even  to  make  the  poor 
of  the  land  to  fail. 

6  That  we  may  buy  the  poor  for 
silver,  and  the  needy  for  a  pair  ot 
shoes.  Am.  2.  6,  p.  268;  Am.  5.  11,

Mat.  19—21  Go  and  sell  that  thou 
hast,  and  give  to  the  poor,  and

Lu.  6— 20  Blessed  be  ye  poor:  for 
yours  is  the  kingdom  of  God. 

Gal.  2—10  Only  they  would  that 
we  should  remember  the  poor ;  the 
same  which  I  also  was  forward  to 
do. 

PEACE.    See  also  Lu.  2. 14,  p.  104 ;

Is.  45—7  I  form  the  light,  and 
create  darkness:  I  make  peace, 
and  create  evil:  I  the  Lord  do 
all  these  things. 

1  Co.  14—33  God  is  not  the  author 
of  confusion,  but  of  peace. 

2  Chr.  1.5—5  And  there  was  no 
peace  to  him  that  went  out,  nor  to 
him  that  came  in,  but  great  vex- 
atious were  upon  all. 

Job  13—5  Oh  that  ye  would  alto- 
gether hold  your  peace!  and  it 
should  be  your  wisdom,    p.  384. 

Job  33—33  Hearken  unto  me: 
hold  thy  peace,  and  I  shall  teach 
thee  wisdom. 

Ps.  35—20  For  they  speak  not 
peace:  but  they  devise  deceitful 
matters  against  them  that  are 
quiet  in  the  land.       ,    ,      ,     , 

Ps.  120—6  My  soul  hath  long 
dwelt  with  him  that  hateth  peace. 

7  1  am  for  peace:  but  when  I 
speak,  they  are  for  war. 

Ps.  119—165  Great  peace  have 
they  which  love  thy  law:  and 
nothing  shall  offend  them. 

Is.  57—19 1  create  the  fruit  of  the 
lips;  Peace,  peace  to  him  that  is 
far  off,  and  to  him  that  is  near, 
saith  the  Lord. 

Is.  59—8  The  way  of  peace  they 
know  not;  and  there  is  no  judg- 
ment in  their  goings:  they  have 
made  them  crooked  paths ;  whoso- 
ever goeth  therein  shall  not  know 

je  6—14  They  have  healed  also 
the  hurt  of  the  daughter  of  my 
people  slightly,  saying.  Peace, 
peace;  when  there  is  no  peace. 
See  Eze.  13. 10-16,  p.  318.

Je.  8—15  We  looked  for  peace, 
but  uo  good  came ;  aud  for  a  time 
of  health,  and  behold  trouble ! 

2  Co.  13—11  Finally,  brethren, 
farewell.  Be  perfect,  be  of  good 
(■omfort,  be  of  one  miiul,  live  in 
peace;  and  the  God  of  love  and 
peace  shall  be  with  you. 

1  Th.  5—13  Esteem  them  very 
highly  in  love  for  their  work's 
sake.  And  be  at  peace  among 
yourselves. 

Ro.  12—18  If  it  be  possible,  as 
much  as  lieth  in  you,  live  peace- 
ably with  all  men. 

Mat.  10—34  Think  not  that  I  am 
come  to  send  peace  on  earth:  I 
came  not  to  send  peace,  but  a 
sword. 

Lu.  12—51  Suppose  ye  that  I  am 
come  to  give  peace  on  earth  ?  I  tel  1 
you.  Nay ;  but  rather  division. 

Jno.  14—27  Peace  I  leave  with 
you.my  peace  I  give  imto  you :  not 
as  the  world  giveth,  give  I  unto 
you.  Let  not  your  heart  be  troub- 
led, neither  let  it  be  afraid. 

PLEASURE,  PROUD.  PRIDE, 
PLOUGH.  PLOUGHSHARES, 
PLUMMET,   PLUMBLINE. 

Pro.  21—17  He  that  loveth  pleas- 
ure .shall  be  a  poor  man:  he  that 
loveth  wine  and  oil  shall  not  be 
rich. 

2  Co.  12—10  Therefore  I  take 
pleasure  in  infirmities,  in  re- 
proaches, in  necessities,  m  perse- 
cutions, m  distresses  for  Christ's 
sake :  for  when  I  am  weak,  then 
am  I  strong. 

1  Ti.  5-6  But  she  that  liveth  in 
pleasure  is  dead  while  she  liveth. 

2  Ti.  3—4  Traitors,  heady,  high- 
minded  lovers  of  pleasures  more 
than  lovers  of  God. 

Ja.  5—5  Ye  have  lived  in  pleas- 
ure on  the  earth, and  been  wanton ; 
ye  have  nourished  your  hearts,  as 
m  a  day  of  slaughter,    p.  463. 

2Pe.  2—13  And  shall  receive  the 
reward  of  unrighteousness, as  they 
that  count  it  pleasiire  to  riot  in 
the  daytime.    Ps.  16. 11,  p.  238. 


Ps.  138—6  Though  the  Lord  be 
high,  yet  hath  he  respect  unto  the 
lowly:  bi^t  the  proud  he  know- 
eth  afar  oi¥. 

Pro.  11—2  When  pride  cometh, 
then  cometh  shame :  but  with  the 
lowly  is  wisdom. 

Pro.  13—10  Only  by  pride  cometh 


contention :  but  with  the  well  ad- 
vised is  wisdom. 

Pro.  16—5  Every  one  that  is  proud 
in  heart  is  an  abomuiation  to  the 
Lord:  though  hand  join  in  hand, 
he  shall  not  oe  unpunished. 

18  Pride  goethbeiore  destruction, 
and  a  haughty  spirit  before  a  fall. 

19  Better  it  is  to  be  of  an  humble 
spirit  with  the  lowly,  than  to  di- 
vide the  spoil  with  the  proud. 

Pro.  21—24  Proud  ancf  haughty 
scorner  is  his  name,  who  dealetli 
in  proud  wrath. 

Pro.  28—25  He  that  is  of  a  proud 
heart  stirreth  up  strife. 

Pro.  29—23  A  man's  pride  shall 
bring  him  low:  but  honour  shall 
uphold  the  humble  in  spirit. 

Is.  13—11  And  I  will  punish  the 
world  for  their  evil,  and  the  wick- 
ed for  their  iniquity ;  and  I  will 
cause  the  arrogancy  of  the  proud 
to  cease,  and  will  lay  low  the 
haughtiness  of  the  terrible. 

1  li.  6 — 4  He  is  proud,  knowing 
nothing,  but  doting  about  ques- 
tions and  strifes  of  words,  whereof 
cometh  envy,  strife,  railings,  evil 
surmisings. 

Ja.  4—6  God  resisteth  the  proud, 
but  giveth  grace  unto  the  humble. 
Eze.  16.  49.  p.  19;  Lu.  l.  51,  p.  11. 


Pro.  21 — 4  A  hi^i  look, and  a  proud 
heart,  and  the  plovighing  of  the 
wicked,  is  sin. 

De.  22—10  Thou  Shalt  not  plough 
with  an  ox  and  an  ass  together. 

Job.  4—8  Even  as  I  have  seen, 
they  that  plough  iniquity, and  sow 
wickedness,  reap  the  same. 

Ho.  10—13  Ye  have  ploughed 
wickedness,  ye  have  reaped  ini- 
quity ; 

Am.  9—13  Behold, the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  the  plough- 
man shall  overtake  the  reaper, 
and  the  treaderof  grapes  him  that 
sowethseed;  and  the  mountains 
shall  drop  sweet  wine,  and  all  the 
hills  .shall  melt. 

Is.  2—4  And  he  shall  judge  among 
the  nations,  and  shall  rebuke 
many  people:  and  they  shall  beat 
their  swords  into  ploughshares, 
and  their  spears  into  pruning- 
hooks:  nation  shall  not  lift  up 
sword  again.st  nation,neither  shall 
they  learn  war  any  more.    p.  467. 

Mi. 4— 3  And  he  shall  judge  among 
many  people,  and  rebuke  strong 
nations  afar  off;  and  they  shall 
beat   their  swords    into  plough-

shares,  and  their  spears  intoprun- 
inghooks:  nation  shall  not  lift  up 
a  sword  against  nation,  neither 
shall  they  learn  war  any  more. 

Jo.  3—9  Proclaim  ye  this  among 
the  Gentiles;  Prepare  war,  wake 
up  the  mighty  men,  let  all  the 
men  of  war  draw  near ;  let  them 
come  up:  ,       ,    , 

10  Beat  yoTir  ploughshares  into 
swords,  and  your  pruniughooks 
into  spears:  let  the  weak  say,  I 
am  strong,    p.  72. 

Lu.  9—62  And  Jesus  said  unto 
him,  No  man,  having  put  his 
hand  to  the  plough,  and  lookmg 
back,  is  fit  for  the  kingdom  of 
God.  

2  Ki.  21—13  And  I  ■will '  stretch 
over  Jerusalem  the  line  of  Sama- 
ria, and  the  plummet  of  the  house 
of  Ahab:  and  I  will  wipe  Jerusa- 
lem as  a  man  wipeth  a  dish,  wip- 
ing it,  and  turning  it  upside  down. 

Is.  28—17  Judgment  also  will  I 
lay  to  the  line,  and  righteousness 
to  the  plummet,    p.  470. 

Am.  7—7  And,  behold,  the  Lord 
stood  upon  a  wall  made  by  a 
plumbline,  with  a  plumbline  in 
his  hand. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  uhto  me, 
Amos,  what  seest  thou?  And  I 
said,  A  plumbline.  Then  said  the 
Lord,  Behold,  I  will  set  a  plumb- 
line  in  the  midst  of  my  people  Is- 
rael :  I  will  not  again  pass  by  them 
auv  more. 

Zee.  4—9  The  hands  of  Zembba- 
bel  have  laid  the  foimdation  of 
this  house;  his  hands  shall  also 
finish  it;  and  thou  shalt  know 
that  the  Lord  hath  sent  me  unto 
you. 

10  For  who  hath  despised  the 
day  of  small  things?  for  they  shall 
rejoice,  and  shall  see  the  plum- 
met in  the  hand  of  Zerubbabel 
with  those  seven;  they  are  the 
eyes  of  the  Lord,  which  run  to 
and  fro  through  the  whole  earth.

Job  19—8  He  hath  fenced  up  my 
way  that  1  cannot  pass,  and  he 
hath  set  darkness  in  my  paths,

Job  28—7  There  is  a  path  which 
no  fowl  knoweth,  and  which  the 
vulture's  eve  hath  not  seen. 

Ps.  16—11  Thou  wilt  shew  me  the 
path  of  life:  in  thy  presence  is 


fulness  of  joy;  at  thy  right  hand 
are  pleasures  for  evermore. 

Ps.  17^  Concerning  the  works 
of  men,  by  the  word  of  thy  lips  I 
have  kept  me  from  the  paths  of 
the  destroyer. 

Ps.  27—11  Teach  me  thy  way,  O 
Lord,  and  lead  me  in  a  plain 
path,  because  of  mine  enemies. 

Ps.  119—105  Thy  word  is  a  lamp 
unto  my  feet,  and  a  light  unto  my 
path. 

Pro.  3—17  Her  ways  are  ways  of 
pleasantness,  and  all  her  paths 
are  peace.     - 

Pro.  4—11  I  have  taught  thee  in 
the  way  of  wisdom;  1  have  led 
thee  in  right  paths. 

14  Enter  not  into  the  path  of  the 
wicked,  and  go  not  in  the  way  of 
evil  men. 

18  But  the  path  of  the  just  is 
as  the  shining  light,  that  shineth 
more  and  more  unto  the  perfect 
day. 

He.  12—13  And  make  straight 
paths  for  your  feet,  lest  that 
which  is  lame  be  tiu-ned  out  of 
the  way.  

Ps.  7— 15  He  made  a  pit,  and 
digged  it,  and  is  fallen  into  the 
ditch  which  he  made. 

Pro.  26—27  Whoso  diggeth  a  pit 
shall  fall  therein;  and  he  that 
roUeth  a  stone,  it  will  return  upon 
him. 

Ec.  10—8  He  that  diggeth  a  pit 
shall  fall  into  it ;  and  who.so  break-

Je.  17—1  The  sin  of  Judah  is 
written  with  a  pen  of  iron,  and 
with  the  point  of  a  diamond:  it  is 
graven  upon  the  table  of  their 
heart,  and  upon  the  horns  of  your 
altars.  Job  19.  24,  p.  385;  Ps.  45. 1,

Ps.  26—4  I  have  not  sat  with 
vain  persons,  neither  will  I  go,  in 
with  dissemblers. 

Pro.  28—21  To  have  respect  of 
persons  is  not  good :  for,  for  a  piece 
of  bread  that  man  will  transgress. 

Ja.  2—9  But  if  ye  have  respect 
to  persons,  ye  commit  sin,  and 
are  convinced  of  the  law  as

Ps.  69—33  For  the  Lord  heareth 
the  poor,  and  despiseth  uot  his 
prisoners. 

Ps.  79—11  Let  the  sighing  of  the 
prisoner  come  before  thee ;  accord- 
ing to  the  greatness  of  thy  power 
preserve  thou  those  that  are  ap- 
pointed to  die. 

Ps.  102—19  For  he  hath  looked 
down  from  the  height  of  his  sanc- 
tuary; from  heaven  did  the  Lord 
behold  the  earth ; 

20  To  hear  the  gi-oaning  of  the 
prisoner;  to  loose  those  that  are 
appointed  to  death. 

Is.  24—22  And  they  shall  be  gath- 
ered together,  as  prisoners  are 
gathered  in  the  pit,  aud  sliall  be 
shut  up  in  the  prison,  and  after 
many  days  shall  they  be  visited. 

Is.  49—9  That  thou  mayest  say 
to  the  prisoners.  Ho  forth ;  to  them 
that  are  in  darkness,  Shew  your- 
selves. Thev  shall  feed  in  the 
ways,  and  tlieir  pastures  shall  be 
in  all  high  places. 

10  They  shall  not  hunger  nor 
thirst ;  neither  shall  the  heat  nor 
sun  smite  them :  for  he  that  hath 
mercy  on  them  shall  lead  them, 
even  "by  the  springs  of  water  shall 
he  guide  them.  See  also  Is.  42.7

prisoners  out  of  the  pit  wherein

Ge.  50—2  And  Joseph  command- 
ed his  servants  the  physicians  to 
embalm  his  father:  and  the  phy- 
sicians embalmed  Israel. 

3  And  forty  days  were  fulfilled 
for  him;  for  so  are  fulfilled  the 
days  of  those  which  are  embalm- 
ed: and  the  Egyptians  mourned 
for  him  threescore  and  ten  days. 
See  Ge.  49  and  50,  p.  42. 

2  Chr.  16—12  And  Asa  in  the 
thirty  aud  ninth  year  of  his  reign 
was  diseased  in  his  feet:  yet  in 
his  disease  he  sought  not  to  the 
Lord,  but  to  the  physicians. 

Job  13—4  But  ye  are  forgers  of 
lies,  ye  are  all  physicians  of  no 
value,    p.  384. 

Je.  8—22  Is  there  no  balm  in  Gil- 
ead?  is  there  no  physician  there? 

Mar.  2—17  Jesus  saith.  They  that 
are  whole  have  no  need  of  the 
physician,  but  they  that  are  sick : 
I  came  not  to  call  the  righteous, 
but  sinners  to  repentance. 

Lu.  4—23  Jesus  said  unto  them. 
Ye  will  surely  say  unto  me  this 
proverb,  Physician,  heal  thyself. 

Col.  4—14  Luke,  the  beloved  phy- 
sician, and  Demas,  greet  you.  See 
Mar.  6.  26.  p.  454. 

Is.  40—24  Yea,  they  shall  not  be 
planted ;  yea,  they  shall  not  be 
sown;  yea,  their  stock  shall  uot 
take  root  iu  tlie  earth:  and  he 
shall  also  blow  upon  them,  and 
they  shall  wither,  and  the  whirl- 
wind shall  take  them  away  as 
stubble. 

Is.  65—22  They  shall  uot  build, 
and  another  inhabit ;  they  shall 
not  plant,  and  another  eat. 

Je.  2—21  Yet  I  had  planted  thee 
a  noble  vine,  wholly  a  right  seed: 
how  then  art  thou  turned  into 
the  degenerate  plaut  of  a  strange 
vine  unto  me? 

Is.  17—10  Because  thou  hast  for- 
gotten the  God  of  thy  salvation, 
and  hast  not  been  mindful  of  the 
Rock  of  thy  strength,  therefore 
shalt  thou  plant  pleasant  plants, 
and  shalt  set  it  with  strange  slips.

11  In  the  day  shalt  thou  make 
thy  i)lant  to  grow,  and  in  the 
morning  shalt  thou  make  thy  seed 
to  flourish :  but  the  harvest  shall 
be  a  heap  in  the  day  of  grief. 

Eze.  34—29  And  I  will  raise  up 
for  them  a  plant  of  renown,  and 
they  shall  be  no  more  consumed 
with  hunger  in  the  land. 

Mat.  15—13  But  Jesus  answered 
and  said.  Every  plant,  which  my 
heavenly  Fatherhathnot  planted, 
shall  be  rooted  up. 

I  Co.  3-^  For  while  one  saith,  I 
am  of  Paul ;  and  another,  I  am  of 
ApoUos;  are  ye  not  carnal? 

5  Who  then  is  Paul,  and  who  is 
Apollos,  but  ministers  by  whom 
ye  believed,  even  as  the  Lord 
gave  to  every  man? 

6  I  have  planted,  Apollos  water- 
ed ;  but  God  gave  the  increase. 

7  So  then  neither  is  he  that 
planteth  any  thing,neither  he  that 
watereth;  but  God  that  giveth 
the  increase. 

8  Now  he  that  planteth  and  he 
that  watereth  are  one:  and  every 
man  shall  receive  his  own  reward 
according  to  his  own  labour.  See 
Ac.  19.  15,  p.  255. 

Lu.  21—19  In  your  patience  pos- 
sess ye  youi"  souls. 

He.  10—36  For  ye  have  need  of 
patience,  that,  after  ye  have  done 
the  will  of  God,  ye  might  receive 
the  promise. 

Ja.  1—2  My  brethren,  count  it  all 
joy  when  ye  fall  into  divers  temp- 
tations,   p.  310. 

3  Knowing  thi.s.  that  the  trying 
of  your  faith  worketh  patience. 

4  But  let  patience  have  her  per- 
fect work,  that  ye  may  be  perfect 
and  entire,  wanting  nothing. 

Ja.  5—7  Be  patient  therefore, 
brethren,  unto  the  coming  of  the 
Lord.  Behold,  the  husbandman 
waiteth  for  the  precious  fruit  of 
the  earth,  and  hath  long  patience 
for  it,  until  he  receive  the  early 
and  latter  rain.    p.  4G3. 

8  Be  ye  also  patient;  stablish 
your  hearts:  for  the  coming  of 
the  Lord  draweth  nigh. 

II  Behold,  we  count  them  happy 
which  endure.  Ye  have  heard  of 
the  patience  of  Job,  and  have  seen 
the  end  of  the  Lord;  that  the 
Lord  is  very  pitiful,  and  of  tender 
mercy.    Ro.  5.  3,  4,  p.  97. 


Job  6—14  To  him  that  is  afflicted 
pity  should  be  shewed  from  his 
friend ;  but  he  forsaketh  the  fear 
of  the  Almighty. 

Job  19—21  Have  pity  upon  me, 
have  pity  upon  me,  O  ye  my 
friends;  for  the  hand  of  God  hath 
touched  me.    p.  385. 

Ps.  69—20  Reproach  hath  broken 
my  heart  ■  and  I  am  full  of  heavi- 
ness: and  I  looked  for  some  to 
take  pity,  but  there  was  none ;  and 
for  comforters,  but  I  found  none. 

Ps.  103—13  Like  as  a  father  piti- 
eth  his  children,  so  the  Lobi>  piti- 
eth  them  that  fear  him. 


Ps.  18—26  With  the  pure  thou 
wilt  shew  thyself  pui-e ;  and  with 
the  froward  thou  wilt  shew  thy- 
self fro  ward. 

Tit. 1—15  Unto  the  pure  all  things 
are  pure :  but  unto  them  that  are 
defiled  and  unbelieving  is  noth- 
ing pure ;  but  even  their  mind  and 
conscience  is  defiled. 


Lu.  23—43  And  Jesus  said  unto 
him,  Verily  I  say  unto  thee.  To 
day  shalt  thou  be  with  me  in 
paradise."  p.  517. 

2  Co.  12—4  How  that  he  was 
caught  up  into  paradise,and  heard 
unspeakable  words,  which  it  isnot 
lawful  for  a  man  to  utter,    p.  lie. 

Re.  2—7  To  him  that  overcometh 
will  I  give  to  eat  of  the  tree  of 
life,  which  is  in  the  midst  of  the 
paradise  of  God. 

Jno.l7— 12  While  I  waswith  them 
in  the  world,  1  kept  them  in  thy 
name:  those  that  thou  gavest  me 
I  have  kept,  and  none  of  them  is 
lost,  but  the  son  of  perdition ;  that 
the  Scripture  might  be  fulfilled. 

He.  10—39  But  we  are  not  of  them 
who  draw  back  unto  perdition; 
but  of  them  that  believe  to  the 
saving  of  the  soul. 

Job  15—21 A  dreadful  soiuid  is  in 
his  ears:  in  prosperity  the  destroy- 
er shall  come  upon  him. 

Ps.  30—6  And  m  my  prosperity  I 
said,  I  shall  never  be  moved. 

Ps.  75—6  For  promotion  cometh 
neither  from  the  east,  nor  from 
the  west,  nor  from  the  soiith. 

7  But  God  is  the  judge :  he  put- 
teth  down  one,  and  setteth  up 
another.

stood  upon  a  pulpit  of  wood.

3  Jno.  1—2  Beloved,  I  wish  above

Pro.  24—15  Lay  not  wait,  O  wick- 
ed man,  against  the  dwelling  of 
the  righteous;  spoil  not  his  rest- 
ing place. 

Pro.  1—14  Cast  in  thy  lot  among

Eze.  23—20  For  she  doted  upon 
their  paramours,  whose  llesh  is  as 
the  tiesh  of  asses. 

Ro.  1,5—2  Let  every  one  of  us 
please  his  neighbour  for  his  good 
to  edification.  For  even  Christ 
pleased  not  himself. 

Ps.  78—2  I  will  open  my  mouth 
in  a  parable:  I  will  utter  dark 
sayings  of  old. 

Mat.  13—10  The  disciples  came, 
and  said  unto  Jesus,  Why  speak- 
est  thou  unto  them  in  parables? 

11  He  answered.  Because  it  is 
given  unto  you  to  know  the  mys- 
teries of  the  kingdom  of  heaven, 
but  to  them  it  is  not  given. 

12  For  whosoever  hath,  to  him 
shall  be  given,  and  he  shall  have 
more  abundance:  but  whosoever 
hath  not,  from  him  shall  be  taken 
away  even  that  he  hath. 

13  Therefore  speak  I  to  them  in 
parables:  because  they  seeing  see 
not;  and  hearing  they  hear  not, 
neither  do  they  understand. 

Pro.  1—6  To  understand  a  pro- 
verb,and  the  interpretation,  p. 332. 

1  Ki.  4 — 32  And  Solomon  spake 
three  tliousand  proverbs:  and  his 
songs  were  a  thousand  and  five. 

1  Ti.  4—14  Neglect  not  the  gift 
that  is  in  thee,  which  was  given 
thee  by  prophecy,  with  the  laying 
on  of  the  hands  of  the  presbytery. 

Ro.  16—1  I  commend  unto  yo^^ 
Phebe  our  sister,  which  is  a  ser- 
vant of  the  church. 

Pro.  27—2  Let  another  man  praise 
thee,  and  not  thine  own  mouth ;  a 
stranger,  and  not  thine  own  lips. 

Is.  28—10  For  precept  must  be 
upon  precept,  precept  upon  pre- 
cept ;  line  upon  hne, line  upon  Ime ; 
here  a  little,  and  there  a  little. 

Zep.  2— .5  Woe  unto  the  inhabi- 
tants of  the  sea  coast,  the  nation 
of  the  Cherethites!  the  word  of 
the  Lord  is  against  you;  O  Ca- 
naan, the  land  of  the  Philistines, 
I  will  even  destroy  thee.that  there 
shall  be  no  inhabitant. 


Ge.  27—3  Now  take,  I  pray  thee, 
thy  weapons,  thy  quiver  and  thy 
bow,  and  go  out  to  the  field,  and 
take  me  some  venison,    p.  339. 

Is.  22—6  And  Elam  bare  the  quiv- 
er with  chariots  of  men  and  horse- 
men,and  Kiruncovered  the  shield. 

Is.  49—2  In  the  shadow  of  his 
hand  hath  he  hid  me,  and  made 
nie  a  polished  shaft ;  in  his  quiver 
hath  he  hid  me. 

2  Ki.  5—7  Wherefore  consider,  I 
pray  you,  and  see  how  he  seeketh 
a  quarrel  against  me.    p.  396. 

Col.  3— 13  Forbearing  one  anoth- 
er, and  forgiving  one  another,  if 
any  man  have  a  quarrel  against 
any:  even  as  Christ  forgave  you. 
so  also  do  ye. 

1  Ti.  1—4  Neither  give  heed  to 
fables  and  endless  genealogies, 
which  minister  questions,  rather 
than  godly  edifying  which  is  in 
faith:  so  do. 

2  Ti.  2—23  But  foolish  and  un- 
learned questions  avoid,  knowing 
that  they  do  gender  strifes. 

Tit.  3—9  Avoid  foolish  questions, 
and  genealogies,  and  contentions, 
and  strivings  about  the  law ;  for 
they  are  unprofitable  and  vain. 

Ps.  80—18  So  will  not  we  go  back 
from  thee:  quicken  us,  and  we 
will  call  upon  thy  name. 

Ac.  10 — 42  And  he  commanded 
us  to  preach  unto  the  people,  and 
to  testify  that  it  is  he  which  was 
ordained  of  God  to  be  the  Judge 
of  quick  and  dead. 

2  Ti.  4—1  The  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
shall  judge  the  quick  and  the 
dead  at  his  appearing  and  his 
kingdom. 

Ps.  105—40  The  people  asked,  and 
he  brought  quails,  and  satisfied 
them  with  the  bread  of  heaven.

purple,  scarlet,  and  in  the  fine 
linen,  with  ciinning  work.

that  giveth  thee  power  to  get

covenant  which  he  sware  unto 
tlvy  fathers,  as  it  is  this  day.

1  Ki.  10—14  IT  Now  the  weight  of 
gold  that  came  to  Solomon  in  one 
year  was  six  hundred  threescore 
and  six  talents  of  gold, 

15  Besides  that  he  had  of  the

of  the  spice  merchants,  and  of  all 
the  kings  of  Arabia,  and  of  the

2  Ki.  12—9  But  Jehoiada  the 
priest  took  a  chesty  and  bored  a 
hole  in  the  lid  of  it,  and  set  it 
beside  the  altar,  on  the  right  side 
as  one  cometh  into  the  house  of 
the  Lord:  and  the  priests  that 
kept  the  door  put  therein  all  the 
money  that  was  brought  into  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

16  The  trespass  money  and  sin 
money  was  not  brought  mto  the 
house  of  the  Lord;  it  was  the 
priests'. 

Ezr.  8—26  I  even  weighed  unto

talents  of  silver,  and  silver  ves-

2  Both  low  and  high,  rich  and 
poor,  together. 

6  They  that  trust  in  their 
wealth,  and  boast  themselves  in 
the  multitude  of  then  riches ; 

7  None  of  them  can  by  any 
means  redeem  his  brother,  nor 
give  to  God  a  ransom  for  him.

die,  likewise  the  fool  and  the  bni- 
tish  person  perish,  and  leave  their 
wealth  to  others.    Vrs.  11,  p.  121.

17  For  wlieu  he  dieth  he  shall 
carry  nothing  away:  his  glory 
shall  not  descend  after  him. 

Ps.  62—10  Trust  not  in  oppression, 
and  hecome  not  vain  iu  robbery: 
if  riches  increase,  set  not  your 
heart  upon  them. 

Pro.  10 — 1  He  beconieth  poor  that 
dealeth  with  a  slack  hand:  but 
the  hand  oi  the  diligent  maketh 
rich. 

15  The  rich  man's  wealth  is  his 
strong  city :  the  destniction  of  the 
poor  is  their  poverty. 

Pro.ll — t  Riches  profit  not  in  the 
dax  of  wrath:  but  righteousness 
delivereth  from  death. 

28  He  that  trusteth  in  his  riches 
shall  fall :  but  the  righteous  shall 
flourish  as  a  branch. 

Pro.  13—7  There  is  that  maketh 
himself  rich,  yet  hath  nothing: 
there  is  that  maketh  himself 
poor,  yet  hath  great  riches. 

8  The  ransom  of  a  man's  life  are 
his  riches:  but  the  poor  heareth 
not  rebuke. 

11  Wealth  gotten  by  vanity  shall 
be  diminished :  but  he  that  gath- 
ereth  by  labour  shall  increase. 

22  A  good  man  leaveth  an  mher- 
itance  to  his  children's  children : 
and  the  wealth  of  the  sinner  is 
laid  up  for  the  just. 

Pro.  14—20  Tlie  poor  is  hated  eyeu 
of  his  own  neighbour :  but  the  rich 
hath  many  friends. 

Pro.  18—11  The  rich  man^s  wealth 
is  his  strong  city,  and  as  a  high 
wall  iu  his  own  conceit. 

23 The  poor  useth  entreaties;  but 
the  rich  answereth  roughly. 

Pro.  19—4  Wealth  maketh  many 
friends;  but  the  poor  is  separated 
from  his  neighbour. 

14_  House  and  riches  are  the  in- 
heritance of  fathers:  and  a  pru- 
dent wife  is  from  the  Lord. 

Pro.  22—1  A  good  name  is  rather 
to  be  chosen  than  great  riches, 
and  loving  favour  rather  than  sil- 
ver and  gold. 

2  The  rich  and  poor  meet  to- 
gether: the  Lord  is  the  maker  of 
them  all. 

7  The  rich  ruleth  over  the  poor, 
and  the  borrower  is  servant  to  the 
lender 

16  He  that  oppresseth  the  poor 
to  increase  his  riches,  and  he  that 
giveth  to  the  rich,  shall  surely 
come  to  want. 

Pro.  23—4  Labour  not  to  be  rich : 
cease  from  thine  own  wisdom. 


5  Wilt  thou  set  thine  eyes  upon 
that  which  is  not?  for  riches  cer- 
tainly make  themselves  wings; 
they  fly  away  as  an  eagle. 

Pro.  25 — 4  Take  away  the  dross 
from  the  silver,  and  there  shall 
come  forth  a  vessel  for  the  finer. 

11  A  word  fitly  spoken  is  like  ap- 
ples of  gold  in  pictures  of  silver. 

12  As  an  earring  of  gold,  and  an 
ornament  of  fine  gold,  so  is  a  wise, 
reprover  upon  an  obedient  ear. 

Pro.  28—20  A  faithful  man  shall 
abound  with  blessings:  but  he 
tliat  maketh  ha.ste  to  be  rich  shall 
not  be  innocent. 

22  He  that  hasteth  to  be  rich 
hath  an  evil  eye,  and  considereth 
not  that  poverty  shall  come  upon 
him. 

Ec.  5—10  He  that  loveth  silver 
shall  not  be  satisfied  with  silver; 
nor  he  that  loveth  abundance 
witli  increase. 

Ec.  7—12  Wisdom  is  a  defence, 
and  money  is  a  defence:  l)ut  the 
excellency  of  knowledge  is,  that 
wisdom  giveth  life  to  them  that 
have  it. 

Ec.  10—6  Folly  is  set  in  great  dig- 
nity, and  the  rich  sit  in  low  place. 

1!)  A  feast  is  made  for  laughter, 
and  wine  maketh  merry:  but 
money  answereth  all  things. 

Is.  1—22  Thy  silver  is  become 
dross,  thy  wine  mixed  with  water, 
p.  34. 

Is.  13—12 1  will  make  a  man  more 
precious  than  fine  gold;  CA'en  a 
man  than  the  golden  wedge  of 
Ophk. 

Is.  52—3  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Ye  have  sold  yourselves 
for  nought;  and  ye  shall  be  re- 
deemed without  money,    p.  472. 

Is.55— 1  Ho,  every  one  that  thirst- 
eth,  come  ye  to  the  waters,  and  he 
that  hath  no  money;  come  ye, 
buy,  and  eat ;  yea,  come,  buy  wine 
and  milk  without  money  and 
without  price. 

2  Wherefore  do  ye  spend  money 
for  that  which  is  not  oread?  and 
your  labour  for  that  which  satisfi- 
eth  not?    p.  473. 

Je.  6—30  Reprobate  silver  shall 
men  call  them,  because  the  Lord 
hath  rejected  them. 

Je.l7— 11  As  the  partridge  sitteth 
on  eggs,  and  hatcheth  them  not ; 
so  he  that  getteth  riches,  and  not 
by  right,  shall  leave  them  in  the 
midst  of  his  days,  and  at  his  end 
shall  be  a  fool.

Pro.  17—3  The  fining  pot  is  for 
silver,  and  the  furnace  for  gold: 
but  the  LoKD  trieth  the  hearts. 

Eze.  7—19  They  shall  cast  their 
silver  in  the  streets,  and  their  gold 
shall  be  removed :  then-  silver  and 
their  gold  shall  not  be  able  to 
deliver  them  in  the  day  of  the 
wrath  of  the  Lord  :  they  shall  not 
satisfy  their  souls,  neither  fill 
their  bowels:  because  it  is  the 
stumbltngblock  of  their  ini- 
quity. 

Mat.  10—9  Provide  neither  gold, 
nor  silver,  nor  brass  in  your  purses, 
p.  458. 

Ac.  3—6  Then  Peter  said.  Silver 
and  gold  have  I  none ;  but  such  as 
1  have  give  I  thee.    p.  524. 

Ac.  8—20  But  Peter  said  unto 
him,  Thy  money  perish  with  thee, 
because  thou  hast  thought  that 
the  gift  of  God  may  be  purchased 
with  money,    p.  322. 

Ac.  20—33  I  have  coveted  no 
man's  silver,  or  gold,  or  apparel. 

34  Yea,  ye  yourselves  know,  that 
these  hands  have  ministered  unto 
my  necessities,  and  to  them  that 
were  with  me. 

1  Ti.  6—9  But  they  that  will  be 
rich  fall  into  temptation  and  a 
snare,  and  into  many  foolish  and 
hurtful  lusts,  which  drown  men 
in  destruction  and  perdition. 

10  For  the  love  of  money  is  the 
root  of  all  evil :  which  while  some 
coveted  after,  they  have  erred 
from  the  faith,  and  pierced  them- 
selves through  witli  many  sor- 
rows. 

17  Charge  them  that  are  rich  in 
this  world,  that  they  be  not  high- 
minded,  nor  trust  in  uncertain 
riches,  but  in  the  living  God,  who 
giveth  us  richly  all  thmgs  to  en- 
joy; 

18  That  they  do  good,  that  they 
be  rich  in  good  works,  ready  to 
distribute,  willing  to  [communi- 
cate; 

19  Laying  up  in  store  for  them- 
selves a  good  foundation  against 
the  time  to  come,  that  they  may 
lay  hold  on  eternal  life. 

Re.  3—17  Because  thou  sayest,  I 
am  rich, and  increased  with  goods. 
and  have  need  of  nothing;  and 
knowest  not  that  thou  art  wretch- 
ed, and  miserable,  and  poor,  and 
blind,  and  naked: 

18  I  counsel  thee  to  buy  of  me 
gold  tried  in  the  fire,  that  thou 
mayest  be  rich.    Re.  2.  9,  p.  CI. 


Lending  money  for  usury.  See 
also  Lend  and  Borrow  p.  181 ;  Je. 
15. 10,  p.  196. 

Ex.  22—25  If  thou  lend  money  to 
any  of  my;  people  that  is  poor  by 
thee,  thou  shalt  not  be  to  him  as 
a  usurer,  neither  shalt  thou  lay 
upon  him  usury. 

Le.  25— 35  IT  And  if  thy  brother  be 
waxen  poor,  and  fallen  in  decay 
with  thee ;  then  thou  shalt  relieve 
him :  yea,  though  he  be  a  stranger, 
or  a  sojourner;  that  he  may  live 
with  thee. 

36  Take  thou  no  usury  of  him, 
or  increase :  but  fear  thy  God ;  that 
thy  brother  may  live  with  thee. 

37  Thou  shalt  not  give  him  thy 
money  upon  usury,  nor  lend  him 
thy  victuals  for  increase. 

De.  23—19  IT  Thou  shalt  not  lend 
upon  usury  to  thy  brother ;  usury 
of  money,  usury  of  victuals,  usury 
of  any  thing  that  is  lent  upon 
usury. 

20  Unto  a  stranger  thou  mayest 
lend  upon  usury;  but  unto  thy 
brother  thou  shalt  not  lend  upon 
usury. 

Ne.  5—1  And  there  was  a  great 
cry  of  the  people  and  of  their 
wives  against  their  brethren  the 
Jews. 

2  For  there  were  that  said,  We, 
our  sons,  and  our  daughters,  are 
many:  therefore  we  taxe  up  corn 
for  them,  that  we  may  eat,  and 
live. 

3  Some  also  there  were  that  said. 
We  have  mortgaged  our  lands, 
vineyards,  and  houses,  that  we 
might  buy  com,  because  of  the 
dearth. 

4  There  were  also  that  said.  We 
have  borrowed  money  for  the 
king's  tribute,  and  that  upon  our 
lands  and  vineyards. 

6  Yet  now  our  flesh  is  as  the  flesh 
of  our  bretlu-en,  our  children  as 
their  children:  and,  lo,  we  bring 
into  bondage  our  sons  and  our 
daughters  to  be  servants.and  some 
of  our  daughters  are  brought  into 
laondage  already :  neither  is  it  in 
our  power  to  redeem  them;  for 
other  men  have  our  lands  and 
vineyards. 

6  If  And  I  was  very  angry  when 
1  heard  their  cry  and  these  words. 

7  Then  I  consulted  with  myself, 
and  I  rebuked  the  nobles,  and  the 
rulers,  and  said  unto  them.  Ye 
exact   usury,   every  one   of   his

brother.    And  I  set  a  great  assem- 
bly against  them. 

8  And  I  said  imtothem.We.after 
our  ability,  have  redeemed  our 
brethren  the  Jevvs.whichwere  sold 
unto  the  heathen ;  andwill  ye  even 
sell  your  brethren?  or  shall  they 
be  sold  unto  us?  Then  held  they 
their  peace,  and  found  nothing  to 
answer. 

9  Also  I  said.  It  is  not  good  that 
ye  do:  ought  ye  not  to  walk  in 
the  fear  of  our  God  because  of  the 
reproach  of  the  heathen  our  ene- 
mies? 

10  I  likewise,  and  my  brethren, 
and  my  servants,  might  exact  of 
them  money  and  corn:  I  pray  you, 
let  us  leave  off  this  usury. 

11  Restore,  I  pray  you,  to  them, 
even  this  day,  their  lands,  their 
vineyards,  their  oliveyards,  and 
their  houses,  also  the  hundredth 
part  of  the  money,  and  of  the  corn, 
the  wine,  and  the  oil,  that  ye  ex- 
act of  them. 

12  Then  said  they.  We  will  re- 
store them,  and  will  require  noth- 
ing of  them ;  so  will  we  do  as  thou 
sayest.  Then  I  called  the  priests, 
and  took  an  oath  of  them,  that 
they  should  do  according  to  this 
promise. 

13  Also  I  shook  my  lap,  and  said, 
So  God  shake  out  every  man  from 
bis  house,  and  from  his  labom-, 
that  performeth  not  this  promise, 
even  thus  be  he  shaken  out,  and 
emptied.  And  all  the  congrega- 
tion said.  Amen,  and  praised  the 
LoKD.  And  the  people  did  ac- 
cording to  this  promise. 

Ps.  15—5  He  that  putteth  not  out 
his  money  to  usury,  nor  taketli  re- 
ward against  the  innocent.  He 
that  doeth  these  things  shall  nev- 
er be  moved. 

Pro.  28—8  He  that  by  usury  and 
unjust  gain  increaseth  his  sub- 
stance, he  shall  gather  it  for  him 
that  will  pity  the  poor. 

Eze.  22—12  Thou  hast  taken 
usury  and  increase,  and  thou  hast 

greedily  gained  of  thy  neighbours 
y  extortion,  and  hast  forgotten 
me,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

Tit.  1—10  There  are  many  un- 
ruly vain  talkers  and  deceivers, 
speciallythey  of  the  circumcision :

ped, wlio  subvert  whole  houses,

not,  for  filthy  lucre's  sake,  l  Ti.

Ge.  15 — 6  Abraham  believed  in 
the  Lord;  and  he  counted  it  to 
him  for  righteousness,    p.  149. 

Ro.  4—3  For  what  saith  the 
Scripture?  Abraham  believed 
God,  and  it  was  counted  unto  him 
for  rigliteousness. 

Ps.  34—19  Many  are  the  afflic- 
tions of  the  righteous:  but  the 
Lord  delivereth  him  out  of  them 
all. 

Ps.  37—25  I  have  been  young, 
and  now  am  old;  yet  have  I  not 
seen  the  righteous  forsaken,  nor 
his  seed  beggmg  bread. 

29  The  rigliteous  shall  uiherit 
the  land,  and  dwell  therein  for- 
ever. 

Ps.  58—1  Do  ye  indeed  speak 
righteousness,  O  congregation? 
do  ye  judge  uprightly,  O  ye  sons 
of  men? 

2  Yea,  in  heart  ye  work  wicked- 
ness; ye  weigh  the  violence  of 
yoiu-  hands  in  the  earth. 

10  The  righteous  shall  rejoice 
when  he  seeththe  vengeance:  he 
shall  wash  his  feet  in  the  blood  of 
the  wicked. 

11  So  that  a  man  shall  say,  Veri- 
ly there  is  a  reward  for  the  right- 
eous: verily  he  is  a  God  that 
judgeth  in  the  earth. 

Ps.  85—10  Mercy  and  truth  are 
met  together;  righteousness  and 
peace  have  kissed  each  other. 

Ps.  92—12  The  righteous  shall 
flourish  like  the  palm  tree:  he 
shall  growlike  a  cedar  in  Lebanon. 

Ps.  112—6  The  righteous  shall  be 
in  everlasting  remembrance. 

Ps.  141— 5  Let  the  righteous  smite 
me:  it  shall  be  a  kmdness:  and 
let  him  reprove  me ;  it  shall  be  an 
excellent  oil,  which  shall  not 
break  my  head. 

Pro.  10—16  The  labour  of  the 
righteous  tendeth  to  life:  the 
fruit  of  the  wicked  to  sin. 

30  The  righteous  shall  never  be 
removed:  but  the  wicked  shall 
not  inhabit  the  earth. 

Pro.  11—6  The  righteousness  of 
the  upright  shall  deliver  them: 
but  transgressors  shall  be  taken 
in  their  own  naughtiness.

Pro.  11—19  As  righteousness 
tendeth  to  life ;  so  lie  that  pursu- 
eth  evil  pursueth  it  to  his  owu 
death. 

Pro.  12—26  The  righteous  is 
more  excellent  than  his  neigh- 
bour: but  the  way  of  the  wicked 
seduceth  them.  In  the  way  uf 
righteousness  is  life;  and  in  the 
pathway  thereof  there  is  no 
death. 

Pro.  14—32  The  wicked  is  driven 
away  in  his  wickedness:  but  the 
righteous  hath  hope  in  his  death. 
34  Righteousness  exalteth  a  na- 
tion: but  sin  is  a  reproach  to  any 
people. 

Pro.  16—8  Better  is  a  little  with 
righteousness,  than  great  reve- 
nues withoiit  right. 

Pro.  24—15  Lay  not  wait,  O 
wicked  man,  against  the  dwell- 
ing of  the  righteous ;  spoil  not  his 
resting  place. 

Pro.  28—10  Whoso  causeth  the 
righteous  to  go  astray  in  an  evil 
way  shall  fall  himself  into  his 
own  pit.

are  in  authority,  the  people  re- 
joice :  but  when  the  wicked  bear- 
eth  rule,  the  people  mourn. 

Is.  46—12  Hearken  mito  me,  ye 
stouthearted,  that  are  far  from 
righteousness. 

Is.  51—7  Hearken  unto  me,  ye 
that  know  righteousness,  the  peo- 
ple in  whose  heart  is  my  law ;  fear 
ye  not  the  reproach  of  men,  nei- 
ther be  afi-aid  of  their  revilings. 

Is.  57—1  The  righteous  perish- 
eth,  and  no  man  layeth  it  to  heart : 
and  merciful  men  are  taken 
away,  none  considering  that  the 
righteous  is  taken  away  from  the 
evil  to  come. 

2  He  shall  enter  into  peace:  they 
shall  rest  in  their  beefs,  each  oue 
walking  in  his  uprightness. 

Da.  9—18  We  do  not  present  our

Mat.  5—20  Except  your  right- 
eousness shall  exceed  the  right- 
eousness of  the  scribes  and  Phar- 
isees, ye  shall  in  no  case  enter

Lu.  5—32  I  came  not  to  call  the 
righteous,  but  sinners  to  repent- 
ance. 

Ja.  3—18  And  the  fruit  of  right- 
eousness is  sown  in  peace  of  them 
that  make  peace. 


1  Co.  15—34  Awake  to  righteous- 
ness, and  sin  not ;  for  some  have 
not  the  knowledge  of  God:  I 
speak  this  to  your  shame. 

1  Pe.  3—14  And  if  ye  suffer  for 
righteousness'  sake,  happy  are 
ye:  and  be  not  afraid. 

2  Pe.2— 21  For  it  had  been  better 
for  them  not  to  have  known  the 
way  of  righteousness,  than,  after 
they  have  known  it,  to  turn  from 
the  holy  commandment  delivered 
unto  them. 

1  Jno.  3—10  Whosoever  doeth  not 
righteousness  is  not  of  God,  nei- 
ther he  that  loveth  not  his 
brother. 


Ja.  1—26  If  any  man  among  you 
seem  to  be  religious,  and  bridleth 
not  his  tongue,  but  deceiveth  his 
own  heart,  this  man's  religion  is 
vain. 

27  Pure  religion  and  undefiled 
before  God  and  the  Father  is  this. 
To  visit  the  fatherless  and  widows 
in  their  afHiction,  and  to  keep 
himself  unspotted  from  the  worlcl.

stretched  out  his  hand  upon  Jeru- 
salem to  destroy  it,  the  Lord  re- 
pented him  of  the  evil,  and  said 
to  the  angel  that  destroyed  the 
people.  It  is  enough :  stay  thine 
hand.    See  l  Chr.  21.  15,  p  363.

Mat.  12—41  The  men  of  Nineveh 
shall  rise  in  judgment  with  this 
generation,  and  shall  condemn  it : 
because  they  repented  at  the 
preaching  of  Jonas;  and,  behold, 
a  greater  than  Jonas  is  here.  Jon. 
3.  9.  10,  p.  38. 

Am.  7—3  The  Lord  repented  for 
this:  It  shall  not  be,  saith  the 
Lord. 

6  The  Lord  repented  for  this: 
This  also  shall  not  be,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

Jo.  2—13  Turn  unto  the  Lord 
your  God :  for  he  is  gracious  and 
merciful,  slow  to  anger,  and  of 

great  kindness,  and  repenteth 
im  of  the  evil. 

14  Who  knoweth  if  he  will  re- 
turn and  repent,  and  leave  a  bless- 
ing behind  him. 

Eze.  18—30  Repent,  and  turn 
yourselves  from  all  your  trans- 
gressions; so  iniquity  shall  not  be 
your  ruin. 

Job  42—6  I  abhor  myself,  and  re- 
pent in  dust  and  ashes,    p.  388. 

Mat.  4—17  Jesus  began  to  preach, 
and  to  say.  Repent :  for  the  king- 
dom of  heaven  is  at  hand. 

Mar.  1 — 4  John  did  baptize  in  the 
wilderness,  and  preach  the  bap- 
tism of  repentance  for  the  remis- 
sion of  sms. 

14  Jesus  came  into  Galilee, 
preaching  the  gospel  of  the  king- 
dom of  God, 

1.5  And  saying.  The  time  is  ful- 
filled, and  the  kingdom  of  God  is 
at  hand:  repent  ye,  and  believe 
the  gospel. 

Lu.  3—8  Bring  forth  therefore 
fruits  worthy  of  repentance. 

Ac.  2—38  Ihen  Peter  said  unto 
them.  Repent,  and  be  l)aptized 
every  one  of  you  in  the  name  of 
Jesus  Christ  for  the  remission  of 
sins,  and  ye  shall  receive  the  gift

Ac.  17—30  And  the  times  of  this

Job  19—25  I  know  that  my  Re- 
deemer liveth,  and  that  he  shall 
stand  at  the  latter  day  upon  the 
earth : 

26  And  though  after  my  skin 
worms  destroy  this  body,  yet  in 
my  flesh  shall  I  see  God : 

27  Whom  I  shall  see  for  myself, 
and  mine  eyes  shall  behold,  and 
not  another;  though  my  reins  be 
consumed  within  me.    p.  385. 

Is.  26—19  Thy  dead  men  shall 
live,  together  with  my  dead  body 
shall  they  arise.  Awake  and  sing, 
ye  that  dwell  in  dust :  for  thy  dew^ 
is  as  the  dew  of  herbs,  and  the 
earth  shall  cast  out  the  dead. 

pa.  12—1  And  at  that  time  shall 
Michael  stand  up,  the  great  prince 
which  standeth  for  the  children 
of  thy  people :  and  there  .shall  be  a 
time  of  trouble,  such  as  never  was 
since  there  was  a  nation  even  to 
that  same  time:  and  at  that  time 
thy  people  shall  be  delivered,  ev- 
ery one  that  shall  be  found  writ- 
ten in  the  book. 

2  And  many  of  them  that  sleep 
in  the  dust  of  the  earth  shall 
awake,  some  to  everlasting  life, 
and  some  to  shame  and  everlast- 
ing contempt. 

3  And  they  that  be  wise  shall 
shine  as  the  brightness  of  the 
firmament;  and  they  that  turn 
many  to  righteousness,  as  the 
stars  for  ever  and  ever. 

4  But  thou,  O  Daniel,  shut  up 
the  words,  and  seal  the  book,  even 
to  the  time  of  the  end :  many  shall 
run  to  and  fro,  and  knowledge 
shall  be  increased. 

13  But  go  thou  thy  way  till  the

stand  in  thy  lot  at  the  end  of  the

Lu.  20—34  And  Jesus  answermg 
said  unto  them.  The  children  of 
this  world  marry,  and  are  given 
in  marriage : 

35  But  tliey  which  shall  be  ac- 
coimted  worthy  to  obtain  that 
world,  and  the  resurrection  from

the  dead,  neither  man-y,  nor  are 
given  in  marriage : 

36  Neither  can  theydie  any  more : 
for  they  are  equal  unto  the  an- 

fels ;  and  are  the  children  of  God, 
eing  the  children  of  the  resur- 
rection.   Mat.  22,  p.  207. 

Mat.  17—22  And  while  they  ahode 
in  Galilee,  Jesus  said  unto  them. 
The  Son  of  man  shall  be  betrayed 
into  the  hands  of  men : 

23  And  they  shall  kill  him,  and 
the  third  day  he  shall  be  raised 
again.  And  they  were  exceeding 
son-y. 

Jno.  6—36  But  I  said  unto  you. 
That  ye  also  have  seen  me,  and 
believe  not. 

37  All  that  the  Father  giveth  me 
shall  come  to  me ;  and  him  that 
Cometh  to  me  I  will  in  no  wise 
cast  out. 

38  For  I  came  down  from  heaven, 
not  to  do  mine  own  will,  but  the 
will  of  him  that  sent  me. 

39  And  this  is  the  Father's  will 
-which  hath  sent  me,  that  of  all 
which  he  hath  given  me  I  .should 
lose  nothing,  but  should  raise  it 
up  again  at  the  last  day. 

40  And  this  is  the  will  of  him 
that  sent  me,that  every  one  which 
seeth  the  Son,  and  believeth  on 
him,  may  have  everlasting  life: 
and  I  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last 
day.    p.  507. 

Jno.  11—25  Jesus  said,  I  am  the 
resurrection, and  the  life:  he  that 
believeth  in  me,  though  he  were 
dead,  yet  shall  he  live.    p.  457. 

Ro.  6—3  Know  ye  not,  that  so 
many  of  us  as  were  baptized 
into  Jesus  Christ  were  baptized 
into  his  death? 

4  Therefore  we  are  buried  with 
him  by  baptism  into  death :  that 
like  as  Christ  was  raised  up  from 
the  dead  by  the  glory  of  the  Fa- 
ther, even  so  we  also  should  walk 
in  newness  of  life. 

5  For  if  we  have  been  planted 
together  in  the  likeness  of  his 
death,  we  shall  be  also  in  the  like- 
ness of  his  resurrection. 

1  Co.  15—51  Behold,  I  shew  you  a 
mystery;  We  shall  not  all  sleep, 
but  we  shall  all  be  changed, 

52 In  a  moment,  in  the  twinkling 
of  an  eye,  at  the  last  trump:  for 
the  trumpet  shall  sound,  and  the 
dead  shall  be  raised  incorruptible, 
and  we  shall  be  changed. 

63  For  this  con-uptible  must  put 


on  incorruption,  and  this  mortal 
must  put  on  immortality. 

54  So  when  this  corruptible  shall 
have  put  on  incorruption,  and  this 
mortal  shall  have  put  on  immor- 
tality, then  shall  be  brought  to 
pass  the  saying  that  is  written, 
Death  is  swallowed  up  in  victory. 

The  resuiTCCtion  of  the  dead  de- 
nied and  doubted. 

Ac  17—32  And  when  they  heard 
of  the  resurrection  of  the  dead, 
some  mocked:  and  others  said. 
We  will  hear  thee  again  of  this 
matter. 

33  So  Paul  departed  from  among 
them.    p.  109. 

Ac.  23—8  For  the  Sadducees  say 
that  there  is  no  resurrection, 
neither  angel,  nor  spirit:  but  the 
Pharisees  confess  both. 

1  Co.  15—12  Now  if  Christ  be 
preached  that  he  rose  from  the 
dead,  how  say  some  among  you 
that  there  is  no  resuiTection  of 
the  dead? 

13  But  if  there  be  no  resurrec- 
tion of  the  dead,  then  is  Christ 
not  risen : 

14  And  if  Christ  be  not  risen, 
then  is  our  preaching  vain.

the  first  rain  and  the  latter  rain. 

De.  32—2  My  doctrine  shall  drop 
as  the  rain,  my  speech  shall  distil 
as  the  dew,  as  the  small  rain  upon 
the  tender  herb,  and  as  the  show- 
ers upon  the  grass. 

1  Sa.  12—16  Now  stand  and  see 
this  great  thing,  which  the  Lord 
will  do  before  your  eyes. 

17  Is  it  not  wheat  harvest  to  day? 
I  will  call  unto  the  Lokd,  and  he 
shall  send  thunder  and  rain ;  that 
ye  may  perceive  and  see  that  your 
wickedness  isgreat,whichye  have 
done  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  in 
a.skmg  you  a  king. 

18  So  Samuel  called  unto  the 
Lord  ;  and  the  Lord  sent  thunder 
and  rain  that  day:  and  all  the 
people  greatly  feared  the  Lord 
and  Samuel.

Ja.  5—17  Elias  was  a  man  subject 
to  like  passions  as  we  are,  and  he 
prayed  earnestly  that  it  mig^htnot 
rain:  and  it  rained  not  on  the 
earth  by  the  space  of  three  years 
and  six  months. 

18  And  he  praj;ed  again,  and  the 
heaven  gave  rain,  and  the  earth 
brought  forth  her  fruit. 

1  Ki.  17—1  And  Elijah  the  Tish- 
bite,  whowas  of  the  inhabitants 
of  Gilead,  said  luito  Ahab,  As 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel  liveth, 
before  whom  I  stand,  there  shall 
not  be  dew  nor  rain  these  years, 
but  according  to  my  word. 

2  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  him,  saying, 

3  Get  thee  hence,  and  turn  thee 
eastward,  and  hide  thyself  by  the 
brook  Cherith,  that  is  before  Jor- 
dan. 

4  And  it  shall  be,  that  thou  shalt 
drink  of  the  brook;  and  I  have 
commanded  the  ravens  to  feed 
thee  there. 

5  So  he  went  and  did  according 
unto  the  word  of  the  Lord:  for 
he  went  and  dwelt  by  the  brook 
Cherith,  that  is  before  Jordan. 

6  And  the  ravens  brought  him 
bread  and  tlesh  in  the  morning, 
and  bread  and  flesh  in  the  even- 
ing; and  he  drank  of  the  brook. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass  after  a 
while,  that  the  brook  dried  up,  be- 
cause there  had  been  no  ram  in 
the  laud.    Continued  on  p.  83. 

1  Ki.  18—1  And  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  to  Elijah  in  the  third 
year,  saying.  Go,  shew  thyself  un- 
to Ahab ;  and  I  will  send  rain  up- 
on the  earth. 

41  And  Elijah  said  unto  Ahab, 
Get  thee  up,  eat  and  drink ;  for 
there  is  a  sound  of  abundance  of 
rain. 

42  So  Ahab  went  up  to  eat  and 
to  drink.  And  Elijah  went  up  to 
the  top  of  Carmel ;  and  he  cast 
himself  down  upon  the  earth,  and 
put  his  face  between  his  knees, 

43  And  said  to  his  servant,  Go  up 
now,  look  toward  the  sea.  And 
lie  went  up,  and  looked,  and  said, 
There  is  nothing.  And  he  said, 
(to  again  seven  times. 

44  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
seventhtime,tbathe  said.  Behold, 
there  ariseth  a  little  cloud  out  of 
the  sea,  like  a  man's  hand.  And 
lie  said.  Go  up,  say  unto  Ahab, 
Prepare  thy  chariot,  and  get  thee 
down,  that  the  rain  stop  thee  not. 

45  And  it  came  to  paSs  in  the 


mean  while,  that  the  heaven  was 
black  with  clouds  and  wind,  and 
there  was  a  great  rain.  And 
Ahab  rode,  and  went  to  Jezreel. 

46  And  the  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  on  Elijah;  and  he  girded  up 
his  loins,  and  ran  before  Ahab  to 
the  entrance  of  Jezreel. 

Job  29—23  And  they  waited  for 
me  as  for  the  rain;  and  they 
opened  their  mouth  wide  as  for 
the  latter  rain.    p.  386. 

SS.  2—11  For,  lo,  the  winter  is 
past,  the  rain  is  over  and  gone. 

Is.  55—10  For  as  the  rain  cometh 
down,  and  the  snow  from  heaven, 
and  returneth  not  thither,  but 
watereth  the  earth,  and  maketh 
it  bi'ing  forth  and  bud,  that  it 
may  give  seed  to  the  sower,  and 
bread  to  the  eater. 

Je  10—13  When  he  uttereth  his 
voice,  there  is  a  multitude  of  wa- 
ters in  the  heavens,  and  he  causeth 
the  vapours  to  ascend  from  the 
ends  of  the  earth;  he  maketh 
lightnings  with  rain,  and  bring- 
eth  forth  the  wind  out  of  his  treas- 
ures. 

Am.  4—7  And  also  I  have  with- 
holden  the  rain  from  you,  when 
there  were  yet  three  months  to- 
the  harvest:  and  I  caused  it  to- 
rain  upon  one  city,  and  caused  it 
not  to  rain  upon  another  city :  one 
piece  was  rained  upon,  and  the 
piece  whereupon  it  rained  not 
withered. 

Zee.  10—1  Ask  ye  of  the  Lord 
rain  in  the  time  or  the  latter  rain ; 
so  the  Lord  shall  make  bright

rain,  to  every  one  grass  in  the

2  Sa.  22—2  And  David  said,  The 
Lord  is  my  rock,  and  my  fortress, 
and  my  deliverer; 

3  Tlae  God  of  my  rock ;  in  him 
Willi  trust:  he  is  my  shield,  and 
the  horn  of  my  salvation,  my  high 
tower,  and  my  refuge,my  saviour ; 
thou  savest  me  from  violence. 

32  For  who  is  God,  save  the 
Lord?  and  who  is  a  rock,  save 
our  God? 

47  The  Lord  liveth ;  and  hlessed 
be  my  rock;  and  exalted  be  the 
God  of  the  rock  of  my  salvation. 

Ps.  18—2  The  Lord  is  mv  rock, 
and  my  fortress,  and  my  deliver- 
er ;  my  God,my  strength,  in  wlaom 
1  will  ti-ust ;  my  buckler,  and  the 
horn  of  my  salvation,  and  my 
high  tower. 

Ps.  40—2  He  brought  me  up  also 
out  of  a  horrible  pit,  out  of  the 
miry  clay,  and  set  my  feet  upon  a 
rock,  and  established  my  goings. 

Ps.  61—2  From  the  end  of  the 
earth  will  I  cry  unto  thee,  when 
myheart  is  overwhelmed :  lead  me 
to  the  rock  that  is  higher  than  I. 


Nu.  17—1  And  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Moses,  saying, 

2  Speak  iinto  the  children  of  Is- 
rael,and  take  of  every  one  of  them 
a  rod  according  to  the  house  of 
their  fathers,  of  all  their  princes 
according  to  the  house  ot  their 
fathers,  twelve  rods:  write  thou 
every  man's  name  upon  his  rod. 

3  And  thou  shalt  write  Aaron's 
name  upon  the  rod  of  Levi:  for 
one  rod  shall  be  for  the  head  of 
the  house  of  their  fathers. 

4  And  thoi\  shalt  lay  them  up  in 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion before  the  testimony,  where 
I  will  meet  with  you. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pa.ss,  that 
the  man's  rod,  whom  I  shall 
choose,  shall  blossom :  and  I  will 
make  to  cease  from  me  the  mur- 
murings  of  the  children  of  Israel, 
whereby  they  murmur  against 
you. 

6  V  And  Moses  spake  unto  the 
children  of  Israel,  and  every  one 
of  their  princes  §rave  him  a  rod 
apiece, for  each  prmce  one,  accord- 
ing to  their  fathers'  houses,  even 
twelve  rods:  and  the  rod  of  Aaron 
was  among  their  rods. 

7  And  Moses  laid  up  the  rods  be- 
fore the  Lord  in  the  tabernacle 
of  witness. 


8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on 
the  morrow  Moses  went  into  the 
tabernacle  of  witness ;  and,behold, 
the  rod  of  Aaron  for  the  house 
of  Levi  was  budded,  and  brought 
forth  buds,and  bloomed  blossoms, 
and  yielded  almonds. 

9  And  Moses  brought  out  all  the 
rods  from  before  the  Lord  unto 
all  the  children  of  Israel :  and  they 
took  eveiT  man  his  rod. 

10  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Brmg  Aaron's  rod  again  before 
the  testimony,  to  be  kept  for  a 
token  against  the  rebels ;  and 
thou  Shalt  quite  take  away  their 
murmuriugs  from  me,  that  they 
die  not. 

11  And  Moses  did  so:  as  the 
Lord  commanded  him,  so  did  he. 

Job  9—34  Let  him  take  his  rod 
away  from  me,  and  let  not  his  fear 
terrify  me. 

Eze.  20—37  And  I  will  cause  you 
to  pass  under  the  rod,  and  I  will 
bring  you  into  the  bond  of  the 
covenant. 

Ec.  9—11  I  returned,  and  saw 
under  the  sun,  that  the  race  is  not 
to  the  swift,  nor  the  battle  to  the 
strong,    p.  195. 

Is.  40—31  But  they  that  wait 
upon  the  Lord  shall  renew  their 
strength;  they  shall  mount  up 
with  wings  as  eagles;  they  shall 
run,  and  not  be  weary;  and  they 
shall  walk,  and  not  faint. 

Je.  12—5  If  thou  hast  run  with 
the  footmen,  and  they  have 
wearied  thee, then  how  canst  thou 
contend  with  horses? 

Hab.  2—2  And  the  Lord  an- 
swered me,  and  said.  Write  the 
vision,  and  make  it  plain  upon 
tables,  that  he  may  run  that  read- 
eth  it. 

1  Co.  9—24  Know  ye  not  that  thev 
which  niu  in  a  race  run  all.  but 
one  receiveth  the  prize?  So  rim, 
that  ye  may  obtain. 

26  I  therefore  so  run,  not  as  un- 
certainly; so  fight  I,  not  as  one 
that  beateth  the  am 

Gal.  5— 7  Ye  did  run  well;  who 
did  hinder  you  that  ye  should  not 
obey  the  tnath? 

He.  12—1  Wherefore,  seeing  we 
also  are  compassed  about  with  so 
great  a  cloud  of  witnesses,  let  us 
lay  aside  every  weiglit,and  the  sin 
which  doth  so  easily  beset  us,  and 
let  us  run  with  patience  the  race 
that  is  set  before  us.

26  When  the  centurion  heard 
that,  he  went  and  told  the  chief 
captain,  saying.  Take  heed  what

SINS  AND  INIQUITIES. 


Ge.  4—7  If  thou  doest  well,  shalt 
tlioii  not  be  accepted?  and  if  thou 
.  doest  not  well,  sin  lieth  at  the 
door.    p.  12. 

Ex.  20—5 1  the  LoKD  thy  God  am 
a  jealous  God,  visiting  the  iniqui- 
ty of  the  fathers  upon  the  chil- 
dren unto  the  third  and  fourth 
generation  of  them  that  hate  me. 
p.  46. 

Eze.  18—19  Yet  say  ye.  Why? 
doth  not  the  son  bear  the  iniquity 
of  the  father?  When  the  son  hath 
done  that  which  is  lawful  and 
right,  and  hath  kept  all  my  stat- 
utes, and  hath  done  them,  he  shall 
surely  live.  ,    .     ,    ,, 

20  The  soul  that  smneth,  it  shall 
die.  The  son  shall  not  bear  the 
iniquity  of  the  father,  neither 
shall  the  father  bear  the  iniquity 
of  the  son. 

Nu.32— 23  Behold.ye  have  smned 
against  the  Lord:  and  be  sure 
yom-  sin  will  find  you  out. 

Lu.  13—27  But  he  shall  say,  I  tell 
you,  I  know  you  not  whence  ye 
are ;  depart  from  me,  all  ye  work- 
ers of  iniquity, 

Ps.  6—8  Depart  from  me,  all  ye 
workers  of  iniquity;  for  the  Lord 
hath  lieard  the  voice  of  my  weep- 
ing. 

Ps.  25—7  Remember  not  the  sins 
of  my  youth,  nor  my  transgres- 
sions: according  to  thy  mercy  re- 
member thou  me  for  thy  goodness' 
sake,  O  Lord. 

Ps.  40—12  Mine  iniquities  have 
taken  hold  upon  me,  so  that  I  am 
not  able  to  look  up :  they  are  more 
than  the  hairs  of  mine  head: 
therefore  my  heart  faileth  me. 

Ps.  51—5  Behold,  I  was  shapen 
in  iniquity;  and  in  sin  did  my 
mother  conceive  me. 

9  Hide  thy  face  from  my  sins, 
and  blot  out  all  mine  iniqui- 
ties. ,    ,  . 

Pro.  28—13  He  that  covereth  his 
sins  shall  not  prosper:  but  whoso 
confesseth  and  forsaketh  them 
shall  have  mercy. 

Ec.  8—12  Though  a  sinn«r  do 
evil  a  hundred  times,  and  his 
days  be  prolonged,  yet  surely  I 
know  that  it  shall  be  well  with 
them  that  fear  God. 

Ec.  9—18  Wisdom  is  better  than 
weapons  of  war:  but  one  sinner  de- 
stroyeth  much  good.    p.  195. 

Is.l— 18  Come  now,  and  let  us 


reason  together,  saith  the  Lord: 
though  your  sins  be  as  scarlet, 
they  shall  be  as  white  as  snow ; 
though  they  be  red  like  crimson, 
they  shall  be  as  wool.    p.  34. 

Je.  5—25  IT  Your  iniquities  have 
turned  away  these  things,  and 
your  sins  have  withholden  good 
things  fi"om  you. 

Mar.  3—28  Verily  I  say  imto  you. 
All  sins  shall  be  forgiven  vmto 
the  sons  of  men,  and  blasphemies 
wherewith  soever  they  shall  blas- 
pheme : 

29  But  he  that  shall  blaspheme 
against  the  Holy  Ghost  hath 
never  forgiveness, hut  is  in  danger 
of  eternal  damnation. 

Lu.  15—7  I  say  unto  you,  that 
joy  shall  be  in  heaven  over  one 
sinner  that  repenteth,  more  than 
over  ninety  and  nine  just  persons, 
which  need  no  repentance. 

10  Likewise,  I  say  unto  you, 
there  is  .ioy  in  the  presence  of  the 
angels  of  God  over  one  sinner  that 
repenteth. 

Jno.  1—29  John  seeth  Jesus  com- 
ing unto  him,  and  saith,  Behold 
the  Lamb  of  God,  which  taketh 
away  the  sin  of  the  world ! 

Jno.  5—14  Behold,  thou  art  made 
whole:  sin  no  more,  lest  a  worse 
thing  come  unto  thee.    p.  453. 

Jno.  8—7  He  that  is  without  sin 
among  you,  let  him  first  cast  a 
stone  at  her.    p.  437. 

24 1  said  therefore  unto  you,  that 
ye  shall  die  m  your  sins:  for  if  ye 
believe  not  that  I  am  he,  ye  shall 
die  in  your  sins. 

34  Jesus  answered  them,  Verily, 
I  say  unto  you.  Whosoever  com- 
mittetli  sin  is  the  servant  of 
sin. 

Jno.  15—22  If  1  had  not  come  and 
spoken  unto  them,  they  had  not 
had  sin ;  but  now  they  have  no 
cloak  for  their  sin. 

Jno.  20—23  Whosesoever  sins  ye 
remit,  they  are  remitted  unto 
them ;  and  whosesoever  sins  ye  re- 
tain, they  are  retained. 

Ro.  3—23  For  all  have  sinned, 
and  come  short  of  the  glory  of 
God. 

Ro.  4—7  Blessed  are  they  whose 
iniquities  are  forgiven,  and  whose 
sins  are  covered. 

Ro.  5—12  Wherefore,  as  by  one 
man  sin  entered  into  the  world, 
and  death  by  sin;  and  so  death 
passed  upon  all  men,  for  that  all 
have  siiuied.

18  Therefore,  as  by  tlie  offenee 
of  one  judgineut  came  upon  all 
men  to  condemnation;  even  so  by 
the  righteousness  of  one  the  free 
gift  came  upon  all  men  unto  justi- 
fication of  life. 

19  For  as  by  one  man's  disobedi- 
ence many  were  made  sinners,  so 
by  the  obedience  of  one  shall 
many  be  made  righteous. 

Ro.  6—7  For  he  that  is  dead  is 
freed  from  sin. 

12  Let  not  sill  therefore  reign  in 
your  mortal  body,  that  ye  should 
obey  it  in  the  lusts  thereof. 

2.3  For  the  wages  of  sin  is  death ; 
hut  the  gift  of  God  is  eternal  life 
through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

Ep.  1—7  In  whom  we  have  re- 
demption through  his  blood,  the 
forgiveness  of  sms,  according  to 
the  riches  of  his  grace. 

1  Ti.  1—15  This  IS  a  faithful  say- 
ing, aud  worthy  of  all  accepta- 
tion, that  Christ  Jesus  came  into 
the  world  tosave  sinners ;  of  whom 
I  am  chief,    l  Ti.  5.  24,  p.  198. 

He.  9—28  So  ChrLst  was  once  of- 
fered to  bear  the  sins  of  many; 
and  unto  them  that  look  for  him 
shall  he  appear  the  second  time 
without  sin  unto  salvation. 

He.  10—26  For  if  we  sin  wilfully 
after  that  we  have  received  the 
knowledge  of  the  truth,  there  re- 
niaineth  no  more  sacrifice  for  sins. 

He.  11—24  Moses,  when  he  was 
come  to  years,  refused  to  be  called 
the  son  of  Pharaoh's  daughter ; 

25  Choosing  rather  to  suffer  af- 
fliction with  the  people  of  God, 
than  to  enjoy  the  pleasures  of  sin 
for  a  season. 

Ja.  1—15  Then  when  lust  hath 
conceived,  it  bringeth  forth  sin ; 
and  sin,  when  it  is  finished,  bring- 
eth forth  death,    p.  199. 

Ja.  4—8  Draw  nigh  to  God,  and 
he  will  draw  nigh  to  you.  Cleanse 
your  hands,  ye  sinners;  and  purify 
your  hearts,  ye  doubleminded. 

Ja.  5—20  Let  him  know,  that  he 
•which  converteth  the  sinner  from 
the  error  of  his  way  shall  save  a 
soul  from  death,  and  shall  hide  a 
multitude  of  sins. 

1  Jno.  1—7  If  we  walk  in  the 
light,  as  he  is  in  the  light,  we  have 
fellowship  one  with  another,  and 
the  bloocf  of  Jesus  Christ  his  Son 
cleanseth  us  from  all  sin. 

1  Jno.  3—9  Whosoever  is  born  of 
God  doth  not  commit  sin ;  for  his 
seed  remaineth  in  him:  aud  he 


cannot  sin,  because  he  is  bom  of 
(;od. 

1  Jno.  5—16  If  any  man  see  his 
brother  sin  a  sin  which  is  not  unto 
death,  he  shall  ask,  and  he  shall 
give  him  life  for  them  that  sin 
not  unto  death.  There  is  a  sin 
unto  death:  I  do  not  say  that  he 
shall  pray  for  it. 

17  AH  unrighteousness  is  sin: 
and  there  is  a  sin  not  unto  deatli. 

Re.  1 — 4  John  to  the  seven 
churches  which  are  in  Asia:  Grace 
be  unto  you,  and  peace,  from  him 
which  is,  and  which  was,  and 
which  is  to  come:  and  from  the 
seven  Spirits  which  are  before  his 
throne : 

5  And  from  Jesus  Christ,  the 
faithful  witness,  the  firstbegot- 
ten  of  the  dead,  and  the  prince  of 
the  kings  of  the  eai'th.  Unto  him 
that  loved  us,  and  wa.shed  us  from 
our  sins  in  his  own  blood, 

6  And  hath  made  us  kiiigs  and 
priests  unto  God  and  his  Father; 
to  him  be  glory  and  dominion  for 
ever  and  ever.    Amen.    p.  490.

unto  Moses,  saying, 

12  When  thou  takest  the  sum  of 
the  children  of  Israel  after  their 
number,  then  shall  they  give 
every  man  a  ransom  for  his  soul 
unto  the  Lord,  when  thou  nuin- 
herest  them;  that  there  be  no 
plague  among  them. 

13  This  they  shall  give,  eveiT 
one  that  passeth  among  them 
that  are  numbered,  half  a  shekel, 

14  Everyone  that  passeth  among 
them  that  are  numbered,  from 
twenty  years  old  and  above,  shall 
give  an  offering  unto  the  Lord. 

15  The  rich  shall  not  give  more, 
and  the  poor  shall  not  give  less, 
than  half  a  .shekel,  when  they 
give  an  offering  unto  the  Lord, 
to  make  an  atonement  for  your 
souls. 

16  And  thou  shalt  take  the 
atonement  money  of  the  children 
of  Israel,  and  shalt  appoint  it  for 
the  service  of  the  tahernacle  of 
the  congregation :  that  it  may  be 
a  memorial  unto  the  children  of

grave:  for  he  shall  receive  me.

longing  soul,  and  tilleth  the  hun- 
gry soul  with  goodness. 

Pro.  11—25  The  liberal  soul  shall 
be  made  fat:  and  he  that  water- 
eth  shall  be  watered  also  himself.

Le.  20—27  IT  A  man  also  or  woman 
that  hath  a  familiar  spirit,  or  that 
is  a  wizard,  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death:  they_ shall  stone  them  with 
stones ;  their  blood  shall  be  upon 
them. 

1  Sa.  16—14  But  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  departed  from  Saul,  and  an 
evil  spirit  from  the  Lord  troubled 
him. 

21  And  David  came  to  Saul,  and 
stood  before  him:  and  he  loved 
him  greatly ;  and  he  became  his 
armourbearer. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
evil  spirit  from  Godwas  upon  Saul, 
that  David  took  a  harp,  and  play- 
ed with  his  hand:  so  Saul  was 
refreshed,  and  was  well,  and  the 
evil  spirit  departed  from  him. 

Job  4—12  Now  a  thing  was  .se- 
cretly brought  to  me,  and  mine 
ear  received  a  little  thereof. 

13  In  thoughts  fi-om  the  visions 
of  the  night,  when  deep  sleep  fall- 
eth  on  men, 

14  Fear  came  upon  me,  and 
trembling,  which  made  all  my 
bones  to  shake. 

15  Then  a  spirit  passed  before 
my  face;  the  hair  of  my  flesh 
stood  up: 

16  It  stood  still,  but  I  could  not 
discern  the  form  thereof:  an 
image  was  before  mine  eyes, there 
was  silence,  and  I  heard  a  voice, 
saying, 

17  Shall  mortal  man  be  more 
just  than  God?  shall  a  man  be 
more  pure  than  his  Maker? 

Pro.  18—14  The  spirit  of  a  man 
will  sustain  his  infirmity;  but  a 
wounded  spirit  who  can  bear? 

Pro.  2.5—28  He  that  hath  no  rule 
over  his  own  spirit  is  lilie  a  city 
that  is  broken  down. 

Ec.  7—8  Better  is  the  end  of  a 
thing  than  the  beginning  thereof : 
and  the  patient  in  spirit  is  better 
than  the  proud  in  spti-it. 

9  Be  not  hasty  in  thy  spirit  to 
be  angry :  for  anger  resteth  in  the 
bosom  of  fools,    p.  194. 

Mat.  26—41  Watch  and  pray,  that 
ye  enter  not  into  temptation ;  the 
spirit  indeed  is  willmg,  but  the 
flesh  is  weak. 

Mar.  3—11  And  unclean  spirits, 
when  they  .saw  him,  fell  down  be- 
fore him,  and  cried,  saying.  Thou 
art  the  Son  of  God. 

Lu.  11—24  When  the  unclean 
spirit  is  gone  out  of  a  man.he  walk-

eth  through  dry  places,  seeking 
rest;  and  tiudingnone.he  saith,  1 
will  return  unto  my  house  whence 
I  came  out. 

25  And  when  he  cometh,  he  find- 
eth  it  swept  and  garnished. 

26  Then  goeth  he,  and  taketh  to 
him  seven  other  spirits  more  wick- 
ed than  himself ;  and  they  enter  in, 
and  dwell  there :  and  the  last  state 
of  that  man  is  worse  than  the  first. 

Jno.  3—U  For  he  whom  God  hath 
sent  speaketh  the  words  of  God : 
for  God  giveth  not  the  Spirit  hy 
measure  unto  him. 

Juo.  4—24  God  is  a  Spirit :  and 
Jhey  that  worship  him  must  wor- 
ship him  in  spirit  and  in  truth, 
p.  456. 

Jno.  6—63  It  is  the  Spirit  that 
quickeneth;  the  flesh  profiteth 
nothing:  the  words  that  I  speak 
unto  you,  they  are  spirit,  and  they 
are  life.    p.  507. 

Ac.  16—16  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
we  went  to  prayer,  a  certain  dam- 
sel possessed  with  a  spirit  of  divi- 
nation met  us,  which  orought  her 
masters  much  gain  by  soothsay- 
ing: 

17  The  same  followed  Paul  and 
us,  and  cried,  saying.  These  men 
are  the  servants  of  the  most  high 
God,  which  shew  unto  us  the  way 
of  salvation. 

18  And  this  she  did  many  days. 
But  Paul,  being  grieved,  turned 
and  said  to  the  spirit,  I  command 
thee  in  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ 
to  come  out  of  her.  And  he  came 
out  the  same  hour. 

Ac.  10—13^  Then  certain  of  the 
vagabond  Jews,  exorcists,  took  up- 
on them  to  call  over  them  which 
had  evil  spirits  the  name  of  the 
Lord  Jesus,  saying,  we  adjure  you 
by  Jesus  whom  Paul  preacheth. 

14  And  there  were  seven  sons  of 
one  Sceva,  a  Jew,  and  chief  of  the 
priests,  which  did  so. 

15  And  the  evil  spirit  answered 
and  said,  Jesus  I  know,  and  Paul 
1  know :  but  who  are  ye? 

16  And  the  man  in  whom  the  evil 
spirit  was  leaped  on  them,,  and 
overcame  them,  and  prevailed 
against  them,  so  that  they  ried  out 
of  that  house  naked  and  wounded. 

Ro.  8—1  There  is  therefore  now 
110  condemnation  to  them  which 
are  in  Christ  Jesus,  who  walk  not 
after  the  flesh,  but  after  the  Spirit. 

2  For  tlie  law  of  the  Spirit  of 
life  in  Christ  Jesus  hath  made 


me  free  from  the  law  of  sin  and 
death. 

3  For  what  the  law  could  not  do, 
in  that  it  was  weak  through  the 
flesh,  God  sending  his  own  Son  in 
the  likeness  of  suiful  flesh,  and  for 
sin,  condemned  sin  in  the  flesh : 

4  That  the  righteousness  of  the 
law  might  be  fultilled  in  us,  who 
walk  not  after  the  flesh,  but  after 
the  Spirit. 

5  For  they  that  are  after  the 
flesh  do  mind  the  things  of  the 
flesh ;  but  they  that  are  after  the 
Spirit,  the  things  of  the  Spirit. 

6  For  to  be  carnally  minded  is 
death ;  but  to  be  spiritually  mind- 
ed is  life  and  peace. 

7  Because  the  carnal  mind  is 
enmity  against  God :  for  it  is  not 
subject  to  the  law  of  God,  neither 
indeed  can  be. 

8  So  then  they  that  are  in  the 
flesh  cannot  please  God. 

9  But  ye  are  not  in  the  flesh,  but 
in  the  Spirit,  if  so  be  that  the 
Spirit  of  God  dwell  in  you.  Now 
if  any  man  have  not  the  Spu'it  of 
Clirist,  hens  none  of  his. 

10  And  if  Christ  be  in  you,  the 
body  is  dead  because  of  sin ;  but 
the  Spii'it  is  life  because  of  right- 
eousness. 

11  But  if  the  Spirit  of  him  that 
raised  up  Jesus  from  the  dead 
dwell  in  you,  he  that  raised  up 
Christ  from  the  dead  shall  also 
cxuicken  your  mortal  bodies  by 
his  Spirit  that  dwelleth  in  you. 

12  Therefore,  brethren,  we  are 
debtors,  not  to  the  flesh,  to  live 
^fter  the  flesh. 

13  For  if  ye  live  after  the  flesh, 
ye  shall  die :  but  if  ye  through  the 
Spirit  do  mortify  the  deeds  of  the 
body,  ye  shall  live. 

14  For  as  many  as  are  led  by 
the  Spirit  of  God,  they  are  the 
sous  of  God. 

15  For  ye  have  not  received  the 
spirit  of  bondage  again  to  fear; 
but  ye  have  received  the  Spirit 
of  adoption,  whereby  we  cry,  Ab- 
ba, Father. 

16  The  Spirit  itself  beareth  wit- 
ness with  our  spu'it,  that  we  are 
the  children  of  (4od: 

17  And  if  children,  then  heirs; 
heirs  of  God,  and  joint  heirs  with 
Christ;  if  so  be  that  we  suffer 
with  him,  that  we  may  be  also 
glorified  together. 

26  Likewise  the  Spirit  also  help- 
eth  our  infirmities:  for  we  know 


256 


s 


not  what  we  should  pray  for  as  we 
ought :  but  the  Spirit  itself  mak- 
eth  intercession  for  us  with  groan- 
ings  which  canuot  be  uttered. 

27  And  he  that  searcheth  the 
hearts  knoweth  what  is  the  mind 
of  the  Spirit,  because  he  maketh 
intercession  for  the  saints  accord- 
ing to  the  will  of  God. 

1  Co.  5—3  For  1  verily,  as  absent 
in  body,  but  present  in  spirit. 

1  Co.  10—1  Moreover,  brethren,  I 
would  not  that  ye  should  be  ig- 
norant, how  that  all  our  fathers 
were  under  the  cloud,  and  all 
passed  through  the  sea ; 

2  And  were  all  baptized  unto 
Moses  in  the  cloud  and  in  the 
sea;  ' 

3  And  did  all  eat  the  same  spir- 
itual meat ; 

4  And  did  all  drmk  the  same 
spiritual  drink ;  for  they  drank  of 
that  spiritual  Rock  that  followed 
them :  and  that  Rock  was  Christ. 

1  Co.  14—15 1  will  pray  with  the 
spirit,  and  I  will  pray  with  the 
understanding  also:  I  will  siug 
with  the  spirit,  and^I  will  smg 
with  the  understandmg  also. 

1  Co.  15—44  It  is  sown  a  natural 
body,  it  is  raised  a  spiritual  body. 
There  is  a  natural  body,  and  there 
is  a  spiritual  body. 

Ep.  4—3  Endeavouring  to  keep 
the  unity  of  the  Spirit  in  the  bond 
of  peace.  ,     , 

4  There  is  one  body,  and  one 
Spirit,  even  as  ye  are  called  in  one 
hope  of  your  calling.  „   .  .^

1  Ti.  4—1  Now  the  Spirit  speak- 
eth  expressly,  that  in  the  latter 
times  some  shall  depart  from  the 
faith,  giving  heed  to  seducing 
spirits,  and  doctrines  of  devils. 

Re.  3—1  And  unto  the  angel  of 
the  chm-ch  in  Sardis  write ;  These 
things  saith  he  that  hath  the 
seven  Spirits  of  God,  and  the  sev-

Ps.  27—1  The  Lord  is  my  light

strength  of  my  life. 

Is.  12—2  God  is  my  salvation;  I 
win  trust,  and  not  be  afraid :  for 
the  Lord  JEHOVAH  is  my 
strength  and  my  song;  he  also  is 
become  my  salvation,    p.  302.

Is.  49—8  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  In 
an  acceptable  time  have  I  heard 
thee,  and  in  a  day  of  salvation 
have  I  helped  thee.    p.  471. 

Is.  59—11  We  look  for  judgment,

ye  saved,  all  the  ends  of  the 
earth:  for  I  am  God, and  there  is 
none  else.    See  Is.  56,  p.  89. 

Mat.  1—21  And  she  shall  bring 
forth  a  son,  and  thou  shalt  call 
his  name  JESUS:  for  he  shall 
save  his  people  from  their, sins. 

Mat.  18—11  For  the  Son  of  man  is 
come  to  save  that  which  was  lost. 

Mat.  24—13  But  he  that  shall  en-

Ac.  2-^7  And  the  Lord  added

Ac.  15—11  But  we  believe  that 
through  the  grace  of  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ  we  shall  be  saved. 

Ro.  10—9  That  if  thou  shalt  con-

Seir  unto  them ;  he  shiued  forth

those  things  which  are  revealed

dren for  ever,  that  we  may  do  all

Ps.  25—14  The  secret  of  the  Lord

Jno.  7 — 4  For  there  is  no  man

Je.  13—22  For  the  greatness  of 
thine  iniquity  are  thy  skirts  dis- 
covered, and  thy  heels  made

26  Therefore  will  I  discover  thy 
skirts  upon  thy  face,  that  thy

guide  Arcturus  with  his  sons? 

Is.  13—10  For  the  stars  of  heaven 
and  the  constellations  thereof 
shall  not  give  their  light:  the  sun 
shall  be  darkened  in  his  going 
forth,  and  the  moon  shall  not 
cause  her  light  to  shine,    p.  71. 

Is.  24—23 1  hen  the  moon  shall  be 
confounded,and  the  sun  ashamed, 
when  the  Lord  of  hosts  shall 
reign  in  mount  Zion,  and  in  Je- 
rusalem. 

Is.  30— 26  Moreover  the  light  of 
the  moon  shall  be  as  the  light  of 
the  sun,  and  the  light  of  the  sun 
shall  be  sevenfold,  as  the  light  of 
seven  days,  in  the  day  that  the 
Lord  bindeth  up  the  breach  of 
his  people,  and  healeth  the  stroke 
of  their  wound. 

Eze.  8—16  And,  behold,  at  the 
door  of  the  temple  of  the  Lord, 
between  the  porch  and  the  altar, 
were  about  live  and  twenty  men, 
with  their  backs  toward  the  tem- 
ple of  the  Lord,  and  their  faces 
toward  the  east;  and  they  wor- 
shipped the  sun  toward  the  east. 

Jo.  2—10  Tbe  earth  shall  quake 
before  them;  the  heavens  shall 
tremble:  the  sun  and  the  moon 
shall  be  dark,  and  the  stars  shall 
withdraw  their  shining. 

31  The  sun  shall  be  turned  into 
darkness.and  the  moon  into  blood, 
before  the  great  and  the  terrible 
day  of  the  Lord  come.    p.  72. 

Am.  5—8  Seek  him  that  maketh 
the  seven  stars  and  Orion,  and 
turneth  the  shadow  of  death  into 
the    morning,  aud    maketh    the 


day  dark  with  night :  that  calleth 
for  the  waters  of  the  sea,  and 
poureth  them  out  upon  the  face 
of  the  earth:  The  Lord  is  his 
name. 

Am.  8—9  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass  in  that  day,  saith  the  Lord 
(tOd,  that  I  will  cause  the  sun  to 
go  down  at  noon, and  I  will  darken 
tlie  earth  in  the  clear  day. 

Re.  1—20  The  mystery  of  the 
seven  stars  which  thou  sawest  in 
my  right  hand,  and  the  seven

churches:  and  the  seven  candle- 
sticks are  the  seven  churches,  p. 
490,  and  Re.  3.  1,  p.  256. 

1  Co.  15—41  There  is  one  glory  of 
the  sun,  and  another  glory  of  the 
moon,  and  another  glory  of  the 
stars;  for  one  star  d iff ereth  from 
another  star  in  glory.

Ec.  11 — 1  He  that  observeth  the 
wind  shall  not  sow ;  and  he  that  re- 
gardeth  the  clouds  shall  not  reap. 

6  In  the  morning  sow  thy  seed, 
aud  in  the  evening  withhold  not 
thine  hand:  for  thou  knowest  not 
whether  shall  prosper,  either  this 
or  that,or  whether  they  both  shall 
be  alike  good. 

Je.  4—3  Break  up  your  fallow 
ground, and  sow  not  among  thorns. 

Ho.  10—12  Sow  in  righteousness, 
reap  in  mercy ;  break  up  your  fa  1- 
low  groxxud :  for  it  is  time  to  seek 
the  Lord,  till  he  come  and  rain 
righteousness  upon  you. 

Mi.  6—15  Thou  shalt  sow,  but 
shalt  not  reap;  thou  shalt  tread 
the  olives,  but  thou  shalt  not 
anoint  thee  with  oil ;  and  sweet 
wine,  but  .shalt  not  drink  wine. 

Mat.6— 26  Behold  the  fowlsof  the 
air:  tor  they  sow  not,  neither  do 
they  reap,  nor  gather  into  barns; 
yet  your  heavenly  Father  feedeth 
them.  Are  ye  not  much  better 
than  they?

thou  sowest  is  not  qiiickened,  ex-

37  Aud  that  which  thou  sowest, 
thou  sowewt  nut  that  body  that 
shall  be,  hut  hare  g^rain,  it  may 
chance  of  wheat,  or  of  some  other 
grain : 

38  But  God  giveth  it  a  body,  and 
to  every  seed  his  own  body. 

2  Co.  »— C  He  which  soweth  spar- 
ingly shall  reap  also  sparingly; 
and  he  which  soweth  bountifully 
shall  reap  also  bountifully. 

10  Now  he  that  niinistereth  seed 
to  the  sower  both  minister  bread 
for  your  food,  and  multiply  your 
seed  sown,  and  increase  the  fruits 
of  your  righteousness. 

Gal.  6—7  Be  not  deceived;  for 
whatsoever  a  man  soweth,  that 
shall  he  also  reap. 

8  For  he  that  soweth  to  his  flesh 
shall  of  the  tlesh  reap  corruption ; 
but  he  that  soweth  to  the  Spirit 
shall  of  the  Spirit  reap  life  ever- 
lasting. 

9  And  let  us  not  be  weary  m 
well  doing:  for  in  due  season  we 
shall  reap,  if  we  faint  not.

Ex.  28—15  And  thou  shalt  make 
the  breastplate  of  judgment. 

17  And  set  in  it  settings  of  stones, 
even  four  rows  of  stones:  the  tirst 
row  shall  be  a  sardius,  a  topaz,  and 
a  carbuncle :  this  shall  be  the  tirst 
row. 

18  And  the  .second  row  an  emer- 
ald, a  sapphire,  and  a  diamond. 

19  And  the  thii'd  row  a  ligure,  an 
agate,  and  an  amethyst. 

20  And  the  fourth  a  beryl,  an 
onyx,  and  a  jasper:  they  shall  be 
set  in  gold  in  their  inclosings. 

21  And  the  stones  shal  be  with 
the  names  of  the  children  of  Israel, 
twelve,  according  to  their  names, 
like  the  engravings  of  a  signet. 

Is.  28—16  Behold,  I  lay  tn  Zion  for 
a  foundation  a  stone,  a  tried  stone, 
a  precious  corner  stone,  a  siire 
foundation:  he  that  believetii 
shall  not  make  ha.ste.    p.  470. 

Ro.  9—33  As  it  is  written,  Behold, 
1  lay  in  Sion  a  stumblingstone  and 
rock  of  offence:  and  whosoever 
believeth  on  him  shall  not  be 
ashamed. 


1  Pe.  2—6  x\lso  it  is  contained  in 
the  Scripture, Behold,  1  lay  in  Sion 
a  chief  corner  stone,  elect,  pre- 
cious: and  he  that  believeth  ou 
him  shall  not  be  confounded. 

7  Unto  you  therefore  which  be- 
lieve he  is  precious:  but  unto  them 
which  be  disol)edient,  the  stone 
which  the  builders  disallowed,the 
same  is  made  the  head  of  the  cor- 
ner, 

8  And  a  stone  of  stumbling,  and  , 
a  rock  of  offence. 

Ep.  2—19  Now  therefore  ye  are  no 
more  strangers  and  foreigners,  but 
fellow  citizens  with  the  saints,and 
of  the  household  of  (iod ; 

20  And  are  built  upon  the 
foundation  of  the  apostles  and 
prophets,  Jesus  Chri.st  himself  be- 
ing the  chief  corner  stone : 

21  In  whom  all  the  building  fitly 
framed  together  groweth  unto  a 
holy"  temple  in  the  Lord : 

22  In  whom  ye  also  are  huilded 
together  for  a  habitation  of  God 
throng  li  the  Spirit. 

JIat.  21—42  Jesus  saith  unto 
them.  Did  ye  never  read  in  the 
Scriptures,  The  stone  which  the 
builders  rejected,  the  same  is  be- 
come the  head  of  the  comer:  this 
is  the  Lord's  doing,  and  it  is  mar- 
vellous in  our  eyes? 

43  Therefore  .say  I  unto  you.  The 
kingdom  of  God  shall  be  taken 
from  you,  and  given  to  a  nation 
bringing  forth  the  fruits  thereof. 

44  And  whosoever  shall  fall  ou 
this  stone  shall  be  broken:  but  on 
whomsoever  it  shall  fall,  it  will 
grind  him  to  powder.  Lu.  20. 18, 
p.  511. 

Ps.  118—22  The  stone  which  the 
builders  refused  is  become  the 
head  stone  of  the  corner. 

23Thisistlie  Lord's  doing;  it  is 
marvellous  in  our  eyes. 

Pro.  26—27  Whoso  diggeth  a  pit 
shall  fall  therein:  and  he  that 
rolleth  a  stone,  it  will  return  upon 
him. 

Is.  54—11  O  thou  afflicted,  tossed 
with  tempest,  and  not  comforted, 
behold,  I  will  lay  thy  stones  with 
fair  colours,  and  lay  thy  founda- 
tions with  sapphires. 

12  And  I  will  make  thy  windows 
of  agates,  and  thy  gates  of  carbun- 
cles, and  all  thy  borders  of  pleas- 
ant stones. 

13  And  all  thy  children  shall  be

shall  be  the  peace  of  thy  children.

bathed  iu  heaven:  it  shall  come 
down  upon  Idumea,  and  upon  the 
people  of  my  curse,  to  judgment. 

6  The  sword  of  the  Lokd  is  filled 
with  blood,  it  is  made  fat  with 
fatness. 


Je.  47—6  O  sword  of  the  Lord, 
how  long  will  it  be  ere  thou  be 
quiet?  put  up  thyself  into  thy 
scabbard,  rest,  and  be  still. 

La.  4—9  They  that  be  slain  with

and  shoes,  lacked  ye  any  thing  ? 
And  they  said.  Nothing. 

36  Then  said  he  unto  them.  But

take  it,  and  likewise  his  scrip: 
and  he  that  hatli  no  sword,  let  him 
sell  his  garment,  and  buy  one.

ples, ,     , 

2  Saying,  The  scribes  and  the 
Pharisees  sit  in  Moses'  seat :

do;  but  do  not  ye  after  their 
works:  for  they  say,  and  do  not.

4  For  they  bind  heavy  burdens 
and  grievous  to  be  borne,  and  lay 
them  on  men'sshoulders ;  but  they 
themselves  will  not  move  them 
with  one  of  their  lingers. 

5  But  all  their  works  they  do  for 
to  be  seen  of  men:  they  make 
broad  their  phylacteries,  and  en- 
large the  borders  of  their  gar- 
ments, 

6  And  love  the  uppermost  rooms 
at  feasts,  and  the  chief  seats  in 
the  synagogues, 

7  And  greetings  in  the  markets, 
and  to  be  called  of  men.  Rabbi. 
Rabbi. 

(Juo.  1—38  Rabbi,  (which  is  to 
sayjaeing  interpreted,  Master), 

8  But  be  not  ye  called  Rabbi: 
for  one  is  your  Master,eveu  Christ ; 
and  all  ye  are  brethren. 

9  And  call  no  man  your  father 
upon  the  earth:  for  one  is  your 
Father,  which  is  in  heaven. 

10  Neither  be  ye  called  masters: 
for  one  is  your  Master,  even  Christ. 

11  But  he  that  is  greatest  among 
you  shall  be  your  servant. 

12  And  whosoever  shall  exalt 
himself  shall  be  abased;  and  he 
that  shall  humble  himself  shall 
be  exalted. 

13  But  woe  unto  you,  scribes 
and  Pharisees,  hypocrites!  for  ye 
shut  up  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
against  men:  for  ye  neither  go  in 
yourselves,  neither  suffer  ye  them 
that  are  entering  to  go  in. 

14  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  hypocrites!  for  ye  de- 
vour widows'  houses,  and  for  a 
pretense  make  long  prayer:  there- 
fore ye  shall  receive  the  greater 
damnation. 

15  Woe  mito  you,  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  for  ye  compass  sea  and 
land  to  make  one  proselyte;  and 
when  he  is  made,  ye  make  him 
twofold  more  the  child  of  hell 
than  yourselves,    p.  263. 

23  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  hypocrites!  for  ye  pay 
tithe  of  mint  and  anise  and  cum- 
min,and  have  omitted  the  weight- 
ier matters  of  the  law,  judgment, 
mercy,  and  faith:  these  ought  ye 
to  have  done,  and  not  to  leave  the 
other  undone. 

24  Ye  blind  guides,  which  strain 
at  a  giiat,  and  swallow  a  camel. 

25  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and 
Pharisees,hypocrites!  for  ye  make 
clean  the  outside  of  the  cup  and 
of  the  platter,  but  within  they  are 
full  of  extortion  and  excess. 


26  Thou  blind  Pharisee,  cleanse 
first  tliat  which  is  within  the  cup 
and  platter,  that  the  outside  of 
them  may  be  clean  also. 

27  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  hypocrites!  for  ye  are 
like  unto  whited  sepulchres,which 
indeed  appear  beautiful  outward, 
but  are  within  full  of  dead  men's 
bones,  and  of  all  uncleanness. 

28  Even  so  ye  also  outwardly 
ajjpear  righteous  unto  men,  but 
within  ye  are  full  of  hypocrisy 
and  iniquity. 

29  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  hypocrites !  because  ye 
build  the  tombs  of  the  prophets, 
and  ganiish  the  sepulchres  of  the 
righteous, 

30  And  say.  If  we  had  been  m 
the  days  of  our  fathers,  we  would 
not  have  been  partakers  with 
them  in  the  blood  of  the  prophets. 

31  Wherefore  ye  be  witnesses 
unto  yourselves,  that  ye  are  the 
children  of  them  which  killed  the 
prophets. 

32  Fill  ye  up  then  the  measure 
of  your  fathers. 

33  Ye  serpents,  ye  generation  of 
vipers,  how  can  ye  escape  the 
damnation  of  hell?

fogues,  and  the  chief  rooms  at

6  And  the  Lord  sent  fiery  ser- 
pents among  the  people,  and  they 
bit  the  people ;  and  much  people 
of  Israel  died. 

',  7  Therefore  the  people  came  to 
Moses,  and  said,  We  have  sinned, 
for  we  have  spoken  against  the 
Lord,  and  against  thee ;  pray  imto 
the  Lord,  that  he  take  away  the 
serpents  from  us.  And  Moses  pray- 
ed for  the  people. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Make  thee  a  fiery  serpent,  and  set 
it  upon  a  pole :  and  it  sliall  come 
to  pass,  that  every  one  that  is  bit- 
ten, when  he  lopketh  upon  it, 
shall  live. 

9  And  Moses  made  a  serpent  of 
brass,  and  put  it  upon  a  pole ;  and 
it  came  to  pass,  that  if  a  serpent 
had  bitten  any  man,  when  he  be- 
held the  serpent  of  brass,he  lived. 

2  Ki.  18— 4Hezekiah  brake  in 
pieces  the  brazen  serpent  that 
Moses  had  made:  for  unto  those 
dass  the  children  of  Israel  did 
bm'n  incense  to  it.     . 

Job  20—16  He  shall  suck  the  poi- 
son of  asps:  the  viper's  tongue 
shall  slay  him. 

Ps.  58—4  Their  poison  is  like  the 
poison  of  a  serpent:  they  are  like 
the  deaf  adder  that  stoppeth  her 
ear: 

5  Which  will  not  hearken  to  the 
voice  of  charmers,charming  never 
so  wisely. 

Ps.  140—3  They  have  shai-pened 
tlieir  tongues  like  a  serpent ;  ad- 
ders' poison  is  under  then'  lips. 

Ec.  10— 11  Surely  the  serpent  will 
l)ite  without  enchantment ;  and  a 
babbler  is  no  better. 

Is.  27—1  In .  that  day  the  Lord 
with  his  gi-eat  and  strong  sword 
shall  punish  leviathan  the  pierc- 
ing serpent,  even  leviathan  that 
CTOoked  serpent ;  and  he  shall  slay 
the  dragon  that  is  in  the  sea.  Job 
41,  p.  4(M). 

Is.  14—29  Rejoice  not  thou,  whole 
Palestina,  because  the  rod  of  him 
that  smote  thee  is  broken :  for  out 
of  the  serpent's  root  shall  come 
forth  a  cockatrice,  and  his  fritit 
shall  be  a  fiery  flying  serpent. 

Is.  59—5  They  hatch  cockatrice' 
eggs,  and  weave  the  spider's  web: 
he  that  eateth  of  their  eggs  dieth, 
and  that  which  is  crushed  break  ■ 
eth  out  into  a  viper. 


Je.  8—17  I  will  send  serpents, 
cockatrices.amoug  you,wliicn  will 
not  be  charmed,  and  they  shall 
bite  you,  saith  the  Lord. 

Mat.  10—16  Behold,  I  send  you 
forth,  as  sheep  in  the  midst  of 
wolves:  be  ye  therefore  wise  as 
serpents,  and  harmless  as  doves,

Mat.  12—34  O  generation  of  ri- 
pers,  how  can  ye,  being  evil,  speak 
good  things?  for  out  of  the  abun- 
dance of  the  heart  the  mouth 
speaketh. 

Lu.  10—19  Behold,  I  give  tmto 
you  power  to  tread  on  serpents  and 
scorpions,  and  over  all  the  power 
of  the  enemy ;  and  nothing  shall 
by  any  means  hurt  you. 

Ro.  3—13  With  then-  tongues 
they  have  used  deceit ;  the  poison 
of  asps  is  under  their  lips.  I)e.  32. 
33,  p.  305. 

2  Co.  11—3  But  I  fear,  lest  by  any 
means,  as  the  serpent  beguiled 
Eve  through  his  subtilty,  so  your 
minds  should  be  corrupted  from 
the  simplicity  that  is  in  Christ.

Je.  7—9  Will  ye  steal,  murder, 
aud  commit  adultery,  and  swear 
falsely  ? 

Je.  23—10  For  because  of  swear- 
ing the  land  mournetli ;  the  pleas- 
ant places  of  the  wilderness  are 
dried  up. 

Nu.  30—2  If  a  man  vow  a  vow 
uuto  the  LoKD,  or  swear  an  oath 
to  bind  his  soul  with  a  bond;  he 
shall  not  break  his  word,  he  shall 
do  according  to  all  that  proceed- 
eth  out  of  his  month. 

De.  23—21  When  thou  shalt  vow 
a  vow  unto  the  Lokd  thy  (iod, 
thou  shalt  not  slack  to  pay  it:  for 
the  Lord  thy  God  will  surely  re- 
quire it  of  thee. 

Ec.  5—1  When  thou  vowest  a  vow 
unto  God,  defer  not  to  pay  it ;  for 
he  hath  no  pleasure  in  fools:  pay 
that  which  thou  hast  vowed. 

SBetter  is  it  that  thou  shouldest 
not  vow,  than  that  thou  shouldest 
vow  and  not  pay. 

Mat.  5—33  Ye  have  heard  that  it 
hath  been  said  by  them  of  old 
time,  Thou  shalt  not  forswear  thy- 
self, but  shalt  perform  uuto  the 
Lord  thine  oaths : 

34  But  I  say  unto  you.  Swear  not 
at  all ;  neither  by  heaven ;  for  it  is 
God's  throne: 

35  Nor  by  the  earth;  for  it  is  his 
footstool:  neither  by  Jerusalem; 
for  it  is  the  cityof  the  great  King. 

36  Neither  shalt  thou  swear  by 
thy  head,  because  thou  cansfnot 
make  one  hair  white  or  black. 

37  But  let  your  communication 
be.  Yea,  yea;  Nay,  nay:  forwhat- 
.soever  is  more  than  these  cometh 
of  evil.  See  Ge.  22  this  page  and 
p.  492. 

Mat.  23—16  Woe  unto  you,  ye 
blind  guides,  which  say.  Whoso- 
ever shall  swear  by  the  temple,  it 
is  nothing;  but  whosoever  shall 
.swear  by  the  gold  of  the  temple, 
he  is  a  debtor! 

17  Ye  fools  and  blind :  for  wheth- 
er is  greater,  the  gold,  or  the  tem- 
ple that  sanctifieth  the  gold? 

18  And,  Whosoever  shall  swear 
by  the  altar,  it  is  nothing;  but 
whosoever  sweareth  by  the  gift 
that  is  upon  it,  he  is  guilty. 

19  Ye  fools  and  blind:  for  wheth- 
er is  greater,  the  gift,  or  the  altar 
that  sanctifieth  the  gift? 

20  Whoso  therefore  shall  swear 
by  the  altar,  sweareth  by  it,  and 
by  all  things  thereon. 

21  And  whoso  shall  swear  by  the 


temple,  sweareth  by  it,  and  by 
him  that  dweileth  therein. 

22  And  he  that  shall  swear  by 
heaven,  sweareth  by  the  throne 
of  God,  and  by  him  that  sitteth 
thereon,    p.  261. 

1  Ti.  1—20  Hymeneus  and  Alex- 
ander; I  have  delivered  unto  Sa- 
tan, that  they  may  learn  not  to 
blaspheme. 

He.  6—13  For  when  God  made 
promise  to  Abraham,  because  he 
could  swear  by  no  greater,  lie 
sware  by  himself, 

14  Saying,  Surely  blessing  I  will 
bless  thee,  and  multiplying  I  will 
multiply  thee. 

15  And  so,  after  he  hstd  patiently 
endured,  he  obtained  the  promise. 

16  For  men  verily  swear  by  the 
greater:  and  an  oath  for  coii- 
tirmatiou  is  to  them  an  end  of  all 
strife. 

17  Wherein  God,  willing  more 
abundantly  to  shew  unto  the  heirs 
of  promise  the  immutability  of 
his  counsel,  contirmed  it  by  an 
oath.   . 

Ge.  22—15  And  the  Angel  of  the 
Lord  called  unto  Abraham  out  of 
heaven  the  second  time, 

16  Aud  said.  By  myself  have  I 
swonu  saith  the  I>ord,  for  be- 
cause thou  hast  done  this  thing, 
and  hast  not  withheld  thy  sou, 
thine  only  son,    . 

17  That  in  blessing  I  will  bless 
thee,  and  in  multiplying  I  will 
multiply  thy  seed  as  the  stars  of 
the  heaven,  and  as  the  sand  which 
is  upon  the  sea  shore ;  and  thy 
seed  shall  possess  the  gate  of  his 
enemies; 

18  And  in  thy  seed  shall  all  the 
nations  of  the  earth  l)e  blessed ; 
because  thou  hast  obeyed  my 
voice,    p.  492. 

Ge.  26—3  Sojourn  in  this  land, 
Isaac,  and  I  will  be  with  thee,  and 
will  bless  thee;  for  uuto  thee,  and 
imto  thv  seed,  I  will  give  all  these 
countries,  and  I  will  perform  the 
oath  which  I  sware  unto  Abraham 
thy  father; 

4  And  I  will  make  thy  seed  to 
multiply  as  the  stai-s  of  heaven 
and  will  give  unto  thy  seed  all 
these  countries;  aud  in  thy  seed 
shall  all  the  nations  of  the  earth

Ge.  28—10  And  Jacob  went  out 
from  Beer-sheba,  and  went  toward 
Haran. 

11  And  he  lighted  upon  a  certain 
place,  and  tarried  there  all  night, 
because  the  sun  was  set;  and  he 
took  of  the  stones  of  that  place, 
and  put  them  for  his  pillows,  and 
lay  down  in  that  place  to  sleep. 

12  And  he  dreamed,  and  behold 
a  ladder  set  up  on  the  earth,  and 
the  top  of  it  reached  to  heaven: 
and  behold  the  angels  of  God 
ascending  and  descending  on  it. 

13  And,  behold,  the  Lord  stood 
above  it,  and  said,  I  am  the  Lord 
God  of  Abraham  thy  father,  and 
the  God  of  Isaac:  the  land  where- 
on thou  liest,  to  thee  will  I  give 
it,  and  to  thy  seed ; 

14  And  thy  seed  shall  be  as  the 
dust  of  the  earth ;  and  thou  shalt 
spread  abroad  to  the  west,  and  to 
the  east,  and  to  the  north,  and 
to  the  south :  and  in  thee  and  in 
thy  seed  shall  all  the  families  of 
the  earth  be  blessed. 

15  And,  behold,  I  am  with  thee, 
and  will  keep  thee  in  all  places 
whither  thou  goest,  and  will  bring 
thee  again  into  this  land:  for  I 
will  not  leave  thee,  until  I  have 
done  that  which  1  have  spoken  to 
thee  of. 

Le.  20—1  And  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Moses,  saying, 

2  Again,  thou  shalt  say  to  the 
children  of  Israel,  Whosoever  he 
be  of  the  children  of  Israel,  or  of 
the  strangers  that  sojourn  in  Isra- 
el, that  giveth  any  of  his  seed 
unto  Molech;  he  shall  surely  be 
put  to  death:  the  people  of  the 
land  shall  stone  Mm  with  stones. 

3  And  I  will  set  my  face  against 
that  man,  and  will  cut  him  off 
from  among  his  people;  because 
he  hath  given  of  his  seed  unto 
Molech,  to  defile  my  sanctuary, 
and  to  profane  my  holy  name. 

4  And  if  the  people  of  the  land 
do  any  ways  hide  their  eyes  from 
the  man,  when  he  giveth  of  his 
seed  unto  Molech,  and  kill  him 
not; 

5  Then  I  will  set  my  face  against 
that  man,  and  against  his  family, 
and  will  cut  him  off,  and  all  that 
go  a  whoring  after  nim,  to  com- 
mit whoredom  with  Molech,  from 
among  theirpeople. 

Ezr.  9—2  For  they  have  taken 
of  their  daughters  for  themselves, 
and  for  their  sons:  so  that  the  holy 


seed  have  mingled  themselves 
with  the  people  of  those  lands: 
yea,  the  hand  of  the  princes  and 
rulers  hath  been  chief  in  this 
trespass. 

Is.  61—9  And  their  seed  shall  be 
known  among  the  Gentiles:  all 
that  see  them  shall  acknowledge 
them,that  they  are  the  seed  which 
the  Lord  hath  blessed,    p.  474. 

Je.  33—22  As  the  host  of  heaven 
cannot  be  numbered,  neither  the 
sand  of  the  sea  measured ;  so  will 
I  multiply  the  seed  of  David  my 
servant,  and  the  Levites  that  min- 
ister unto  me.    p.  477.

Ps.  13—3  Consider  and  hear  me, 
O  Lord  my  God:  lighten  mine 
eyes,  lest  I  sleep  the  sleep  of  death . 

Pro.  3— 24  When  thou  liest  down, 
thou  shalt  not  be  afraid :  yea,  thou 
shalt  lie  down,  and  thy  sleep  shall 
be  sweet. 

Pro.  4—16  For  they  sleep  not,  ex- 
cept they  have  done  mischief; 
and  their  sleep  is  taken  away, 
miless  they  cause  some  to  fall. 

Pro.  6—4  Give  not  sleep  to  thine 
eyes,  nor  slumber  to  thine  eyelids. 

9  How  long  wilt  thou  sleep,  0 
sluggard?  wiien  wilt  thou  arise 
out  of  thy  sleep? 

10  Yet  a  little  sleep,  a  little 
slumber,  a  little  folding  of  the 
hands  to  sleep: 

11  So  shall  thy  poverty  come  as 
one  that  travelletn,  and  thy  want 
as  an  armed  man. 

Pro.  10—5  He  that  gathereth  in 
summer  is  a  wise  son :  but  he  that 
sleepeth  in  harvest  is  the  son  that 
caiiseth  shame. 

Pro.  20—13  Love  not  sleep,  lest 
thou  come  to  poverty:  open  thine 
eyes,  and  thou  shalt  be  satisfied 
with  bread. 

Ec.  5-12  The  sleep  of  a  labouring 
man  is  sweet,  whether  he  eat  little 
or  much :  but  tlie  abundance  of  the 
rich  will  not  suffer  him  to  sleep. 

Je.  51—39  And  I  will  make  them 
drunken,  that  they  may  rejoice, 
and  sleep  a  perpetual  sleep,  and 
not  wake,  saitli  the  Lord.

that  sleep  in  the  dust  of  the  earth 
shall  awake,  some  to  everlastiug

lastiug  coutempt.    p.  247. 

Lu.  22—46  Aud  said  uuto  them, 
Why  sleep  yeV  rise  and  pray,  lest 
ye  enter  into  temptation,    p.  513. 

Ro.  13—11  And  that,  knowing 
the  time,  that  now  it  is  high  time 
to  awake  out  of  sleep:  for  now  is 
our  salvation  nearer  than  when 
we  believed. 

1  Co.  11—30  For  this  cause  many 
are  weak  aud  sickly  among  you, 
and  many  sleep. 

1  Co.  15—51  Behold,  1  shew  you 
a  mystery ;  We  shall  not  all  sleep, 
but  we  shall  all  be  changed. 

Ep.  5—14  Wherefore  he  saith. 
Awake  thou  that  sleepest,  and 
arise  from  the  dead,  and  Christ 
shall  give  thee  light. 

1  Th.  5—6  Therefore  let  us  not 
sleep,  as  do  others;  but  let  us 
watch  and  be  sober. 

7  For  they  that  sleep  sleep  in  the 
night;  and  they  that  be  drunken 
are  drunken  in  the  night. 

8  But  let  us,  who  are  of  the  day, 
be  sober,  putting  on  the  breast- 
plate of  faith  and  love;  and  for  a 
helmet,  the  hope  of  salvation. 

1  Pe.  4—7  But  the  end  of  all 
things  is  at  hand :  be  ye  therefore 
sober,  and  watch  unto  prayer. 

1  Pe.  5—8  Be  sober,  be  vigilant; 
because  your  adversary  the  devil, 
as  a  roar  nig  lion,  walketh  about, 
seeking  whom  he  mav  devour. 

Ps.  116—6  The  Lord  preserveth 
the  simple:  I  was  brought  low, 
and  he  helped  me. 

Pro.  1—22  How  long,  ve  simple 
ones,  will  ye  love  simplicity?  and 
the  scorners  delight  in  their  scorn- 
ing, and  fools  hate  knowledge? 

;i2  For  the  turning  away  of  the 
simple  shall  slay  them,  and  the 
prosperity  of  fools  shall  destroy 
th«m. 

Pro.  8—5  O  ye  simple,  under- 
stand wisdom :  and,  ye  fools,  be  ye 
of  an  understanding  heart. 

Pro.  5^-4  Whoso  is  simple,  let 
him  turn  in  hither:  as  for  him 
that  wanteth  understanding,  she 
saith  to  him, 

5  Come,  eat  of  my  bread,  and 
drink  of  the  wine  which  I  have 
mingled. 

Pro.  14—15  The  simple  believeth 
every  word:  but  the  prudent  man 
looketh  well  to  his  going. 


Pro.  14—18  The  simple  inherit 
folly :  but  the  prudent  arecrowned 
with  knowledge. 

Pro.  18—9  He  also  that  is  sloth- 
ful in  his  work  is  brother  to  him 
that  is  a  great  wastei'. 

Pro.  19—15  Slothfuluess  castetli 
into  a  deep  sleep ;  and  an  idle  soul 
shall  suffer  hunger. 

24  A  slothful  man  hideth  his 
hand  in  his  bosom,  and  will  not  so 
much  as  bring  it  to  his  mouth. 

Pro.  21—25  The  desire  of  the 
slothful  killeth  him;  for  his 
hands  refuse  to  labour. 

26  He  coveteth  greedily  all  the 
daylong:  but  the  righteous  giv- 
eth  and  spareth  not. 

Pro  24—30  1  went  by  the  field  of 
the  slothful,  and  the  vineyard  of 
the  man  void  of  understanding ; 

31  And,  lo,  it  was  all  grown  over 
with  thorns,  and  nettles  had  cov- 
eredthe  face  thereof , and  the  stone 
wall  thereof  was  broken  down. 

32  Then  1  saw,  and  considered 
it  well:  I  looked  upon  it,  aud  re- 
ceived instruction. 

33  Yet  a  little  sleep,  a  little 
slumber,  a  little  folding  of  the 
hands  to  sleep: 

34  So  shall  thy  poverty  come  as 
one  that  travelleth;  aud  thy 
want  as  an  armed  man. 

Pro.  26—13  The  slothful  man 
saith.  There  is  a  lion  in  the  way; 
a  lion  is  in  the  streets. 

14  As  the  door  turneth  upon  his 
hinges,  so  doth  the  slothful  upon 
his  bed. 

15  The  slothful  hideth  his  hand 
in  his  bosom ;  it  grieveth  him  to 
bring  it  again  to  his  mouth. 

16  The  sluggard  is  wiser  in  his 
own  conceit  than  seveii  men  that 
can  render  a  reason. 

Pro.  10—26  As  vinegar  to  the 
teeth,  and  as  smoke  to  the  eyes, 
so  is  the  sluggard  to  them  that 
send  him. 

Pro.  20-4  The  sluggard  will  not 
plough  by  reason  of  the  cold;

Jos.  22—8  And  Joshua  spake  unto 
them,  saying,  Return  with  much 
riches  unto  your  tents,  and  with 
very  much  cattle,  with  silver,  and 
with  gold,  and  with  brass,  aud 
with  iron,  and  with  very  much 
raiment:  divide  the  spoil  of  your 
enemies  with  your  brethren. 

1  Chr.  5—21  And  they  took  away 
their  cattle ;  of  their  camels  fifty 
thousand,  and  of  sheep  two  hun- 
dred and  fifty  thousand,  and  of 
asses  two  thousand,  and  of  men  a 
hundred  thousand. 

22  For  there  fell  down  many 
slain,  because  the  war  was  of  God. 

Ju.  8—24  And  (^ideon  said  unto 
them,  I  would  desire  a  request  of 
you,  that  ye  would  give  me  every 
man  tlie  earrmgs  of  his  prey.  (For 
they  had  golden  earrings.because 
they  were  Ishmaelites.) 

25  And  they  answered.  We  will 
willuigly  give  them.  And  they 
spread  a  garment,  and  did  cast 
therein  every  man  the  earrings  of 
his  prey. 

26  And  the  weight  of  the  golden 
earring.s  that  he  requested  was  a 
thousand  and  se  veuhundred  shek- 
els of  gold ;  besides  oruaments.and 
collars,  and  purple  raiment  that

lag,  he  sent  of  the  six)il  unto  tlie 
eldersofJudah, even  to  his  friends, 
saying.  Behold  a  present  for  you 
of  the  spoil  of  the  enemies  of  the 
Lord. 

2  Sa.  12—29  And  David  gathered 
all  the  people  together,  and  went 
to  Rabbah,  and  fought  against  it, 
and  took  it. 

50  And  he  took  their  king's 
crown  from  off  hishead,theweiglit 
whereof  was  a  talent  of  gold  with 
the  precious  stones :  and  it  was  set 
on  David's  head.  And  he  brought 
forth  the  spoil  of  the  city  in  great 
abundance. 

31  And  he'  brought  forth  the 
people  that  were  therein,  and  put 
them  under  saws,  and  under  liar- 
rows  of  iron,  and  under  axes  of 
iron,  and  made  them  pass  through

Pro.  17—18  A  man  void  of  under- 
standing striketh  hands,  and  be- 
cometh  surety  m  the  presence  of 
his  friend. 

Pro.  20—16  Take  his  garment 
that  is  surety  for  a  stranger:  and 
take  a  pledge  of  him  for  a  strange 
woman. 

Pro.  '22—26  Be  not  thou  one  of 
them  that  strike  hands,  or  of  them 
that  are  sureties  for  dents. 

Ac.  17—9  And  when  they  had 
taken  security  of  Jason,  and  of 
the  others,  they  let  them  go. 


De.  1—12  How  can  I  myself  alone 
bear  your  cumbrance,  and  your 
burden,  and  your  .strife? 

Pro.  15—18  A  wrathful  man  stir- 
reth  up  strife :  but  he  that  is  slow 
to  anger  appeaseth  strife. 

Pro.  17—1  Better  is  a  dry  morsel, 
and  quietness  therewith,  than  a 
house  full  of  sacrifices  with  strife. 

14  The  beginning  of  strife  is  as 
when  one  letteth  out  water :  there- 
fore leave  off  contention,  before 
it  be  meddled  with. 

Pro.  26—17  He  that  passeth  by, 
and  meddleth  with  strife  belong- 
ing not  to  him,  is  like  one  that 
taketh  a  dog  by  the  ears. 

Ja.  3—14  But  if  ye  have  bitter 
envying  and  strife  in  your  hearts, 
glory  not. 

16  For  where  envying  and  strife 
is,  there  is  confusion  and  every 
evil  work.

rows in  his  auger. 

Ec.  7—3  Sorrow  is  better  than 
laugliter:  for  by  the  sadness  of 
the  countenance  the  heart  is  made 
better.

2  Co.  7—8  For  though  I  made  you 
sorry  with  a  letter,  I  do  not  re- 
pent, though  1  did  repent:  for  I 
perceive  that  the  same  epistle 
liath  made  you  sorry,  though  it 
were  but  for  a  season. 

9  Now  I  rejoice,  not  that  ye  were 
made  sorry,  but  that  ye  sorrowed 
to  repentance :  for  ye  were  made 
sorry  after  a  godly  manner. 

10  Godly  sorrow  worketh repent- 
ance to  salvation,  but  the  sorrow 
of  the  world  worketh  death.

Jno.  10—7  Then  said  Jesus  unto 
them.  Verily,  I  say  unto  you,  1  am 
the  door  of  the  sheep. 

8  All  that  ever  came  before  me 
are  thieves  and  i-obbers:  but  the 
sheep  did  not  hear  them. 

9  I  am  the  door:  by  me  if  any 
man  enter  in,  he  shall  be  saved, 
and  shall  go  in  and  out,  and  find 
pasture. 

10  The  thief  cometh  not,  bi;t  for 
to  steal,  and  to  kill,  and  to  de- 
stroy :  I  am  come  that  they  m ight 
have  life,  and  that  they  might 
have  it  more  abmidantly. 

11  I  am  the  good  shepherd :  the 
good  shepherd  giveth  his  life  for 
the  sheep. 

12  But  he  that  is  a  hireling,  and 
not  the  shepherd,  whose  own  the 
sheep  are  not,  seeth  the  wolf  com- 
ing, and  leaveth  the  sheep,  and 
fleeth;  and  the  wolf  catcheth 
theni,  and  scattereth  the  sheep. 

13  The  hireling  fieeth,  because 
he  is  a  hkeling,  and  carethnot  for 
the  sheep. 

14  I  am  the  good  shepherd,  and 
know  my  sheep,  and  am  known  of 
mine. 

15  As  the  Father  knoweth  me, 
even  so  know  I  the  Father :  and  I 
lay  dowai  my  life  for  the  sheep. 

16  And  other  sheepi  have,which 
are  not  of  this  fold:  them  also  I 
must  bring,  ami  they  shall  hear 
my  voice ;  and  there  shall  be  one 
fold,  and  one  shepherd,    p.  551. 


-Ps.  23—1  The  Lord  is  my  shep- 
herd •  I  shall  not  want. 

2  He  maketh  me  to  lie  down  in 
green  pastures:  he  leadeth  me 
beside  the  still  waters. 

3  He  restoreth  my  soul:  he  lead- 
eth me  in  the  paths  of  righteous- 
ness for  his  name's  sake.

Re.  14—1  I  looked,  and,  lo,  a 
Lamb  stood  on  mount  Sion,  and 
with  him  a  hundred  forty  and 
four  thousand,  having  his  Father's 
name  written  in  their  foreheads. 

2  And  1  heard  a  voice. from  heav- 
en, as  the  voice  of  many  waters, 
and  as  the  voice  of  a  great  thun- 
der: and  1  heard  the  voice  of 
harpers  harping  with  their  harps: 

3  And  they  sung  as  it  were  a 
new  soug  before  tlie  throne,  and 
before  the  four  beasts,  and  the 
elders:  and  no  man  could  learn 
that  song  but  the  hundred  and 
forty  and  four  thousand,  which 
were  redeemed  from  the  earth. 

4  These  are  they  which  were  not 
defiled  with  women ;  for  they  are 
virgins.  These  are  they  which 
follow  the  Lamb  whithersoever  he 
goeth.     These    were    redeemed 


from  among  men,  being  the  first- 
fruits  unto  God  and  to  the  Lamb. 
5  And  in  their  mouth  was  found 
no  guile:  for  they  are  without 
fault  before  the  throne  of  God. 


Re.  19—7  Let  us  be  glad  and  re- 
joice, and  give  honour  to  him:  for 
the  marriage  of  the  Lamb  is  come, 
and  his  wife  hath  made  herself 
ready.  ^    , 

8  And  to  her  was  granted  that 
sheshouldbe  arrayed  in  fine  Unen, 
clean  and  white :  tor  the  fine  linen 
is  the  righteousness  of  saints. 

9  And  he  saith  unto  me.  Write, 
Blessed  are  they  which  are  called 
unto  the  marriage  supper  of  the 
Lamb.  And  he  saith  unto  me, 
These  are  the  true  sayings  of  God. 


Le.  16—7  And  Aaron  shall  take 
two  goats,  and  present  them  be- 
fore the  Lord  at  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle, 

8  And  Aaron  shall  cast  lots  up- 
on the  two  goats;  one  lot  for  the 
Lord,  and  the  other  lot  for  the 
scapegoat. 

9  And  Aaron  shall  bringthegoat 
upon  which  the  Lord's  lot  fell, 
and  offer  hun  for  a  sui  offering. 

10  But  the  goat,  on  w^iich  the  lot 
fell  to  be  the  scapegoat,  shall  be 
presented  alive  before  the  Lord, 
to  make  an  atonement  with  him, 
and  to  let  him  go  for  a  scapegoat 
into  the  wilderness. 

21  And  Aaron  shall  lay  both  his 
hands  upon  the  head  f>f  the  live 
goat,  and  confess  over  him  all  the 
iniquities  of  the  children  of  Israel, 
and  all  their  transgressions  in  all 
their  sins,  putthig  them  upon  the 
head  of  the  goat,  and  .shall  .send 
him  away  by  the  hand  of  a  fit 
man  into  the  wilderness: 

22  And  the  goat  shall  bear  upon 
him  all  their  iniquities  unto  a 
land  not  inhabited:  and  he  .shall 
let  go  the  goat  in  the  wilderness. 


Zee.  10—3  Mine  anger  was  kin- 
dled agauist  the  shepherds,  and  I 
punished  the  goats:,  for  the  Lord 
of  hosts  hath  visited  Ins  flock  the 
house  of  Judah,  and  hath  made

herd of  the  sheep,  through  the

Je.  23—1  Woe  be  unto  the  pastors 
that  destroy  and  scatter  the  sheep 
of  my  pasture ! 

2  Thiis  saith  the  Lord  God  of 
Israel  against  the  pastors  that  feed 
my  people;  Ye  have  scattered'my 
flock,  and  driven  them  away,  and 
have  not  visited  them:  behold,  I 
will  visit  upon  you  the  evil  of  your 
doings. 

3  And  I  will  gather  the  remnant 
of  my  flock  out  of  all  countries 
whither  I  have  driven  them,  and 
will  bring  them  again  to  their 
folds;  and  they  shall  be  fruitful 
and  increase. 

4  And  I  will  set  up.-shepherds 
over  them  which  shall  feed  them : 
and  they  shall  fear  no  more,  nor 
be  dismayed. 

Je.2.5— 34  Howl,  ye  shepherds,and 
cry ;  and  wallow  yourselves  in  the 
ashes,  ye  principal  of  the  flock :  for 
the  days  of  your  slaughter  and 
of  your  dispersions  are  accom- 
plished. 

35  And  the  shepherds  shall  have 
no  way  to  flee,  nor  the  principal 
of  the  flock  to  escape. 

36  The  cry  of  the  shepherds,  and 
a  howling  of  the  principal  of  the 
flock,  shall  be  heard:  for  the  Lord 
hath  spoiled  their  pasture. 

Ps.  65—13  The  pastures  are 
clothed  with  flocks;  the  valleys 
also  are  covered  over  with  corn; 
they  shout  for  joy,  they  also  sing. 

Ps.  95—7  For  he  is  our  God ;  and 
we  are  the  people  of  his  pasture, 
and  the  sheep  of  his  hand.

the  lambs  with  his  arm,  and  carry 
them  in  his  bosom.and  gently  lead 
those  that  are  with  young,   p.  470. 

Ho.  5—6  They  shall  go  with  their 
flocks  and  with  their  herds  to  seek

from  them.    1  Co.  9.  7,  p.  298.

church  of  God,  which  he  hath  pur- 
chased with  his  own  blood. 

29  For  1  know  this,  that  after  my 
departing  shall  grievous  wolves 
enter  in  among  you,  not  sparing 
the  flock. 

Pro.  27—23  Be  thou  diligent  to 
know  the  state  of  thy  flocks,  and 
look  well  to  thy  herds. 

26  The  lambs  are  for  thy  cloth- 
ing, and  the  goats  are  the  price  of 
the  field. 

27  And  thou  shalt  have  goats' 
milk  enough  for  thy  food,  for  the 
food  of  thy  household,  and  for  the 
maintenance  for  thy  maidens. 

1  Pe.  5—2  Feed  the  flock  of  God 
which  is  among  you,  taking  the 
oversight  thereof,  not  by  con- 
straint, but  willingly;  not  for  fil- 
thy lucre,  but  of  a  ready  mind ;

God's  heritage,  but  being  ensani- 
ples  to  the  flock.

Jos.  18—1  And  the  whole  congre- 
gation of  the  children  of  Israel 
assembled  together  at  Shiloh,  and 
set  up  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation there:  and  the  land 
was  subdued  before  them. 

Jos.  21—2  And  they  .spake  unto 
them  at  Shiloh  in  the  laud  of 
Canaan.  ,

Ps.  78—60  So  that  he  forsook  the 
tabernacle  of  Shiloh,  the  tent 
which  he  placed  among  men, 

Je.  7—12  But  go  ye  now  unto  my 
place  which  was  in  Shiloh,  where 
I  set  my  name  at  the  flrst,  and  see 
what  I  did  to  it  for  the  wickedness 
of  my  people  Israel,    p.  285. 

Is.  8—6  This  people  refuseth  the 
waters  of  Shiloah  that  go  softly, 

1  Sa.  20—3  But  truly,  as  the  Lord 
liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth, 
there  is  but  a  step  between  me 
and  death. 

Ps.  18—36  Thou  hast  enlarged 
my  steps  under  me,  that  my  feet 
did  not  slip. 

Ps.  37—23  The  steps  of  a  good 
man  are  ordered  by  the  Lord: 
and  he  delighteth  in  his  way. 

24  Though  he  fall,  he  shall  not 
be  utterly  cast  down:  for  the 
Lord  upholdeth  him  with  his 
hand.  ,  .    .     , . 

31  The  law  of  his  God  is  m  his 
heart;  none  of  his  steps  shall 
slide. 

Ps.  73—2  But  as  for  me,  my  feet 
were  almost  gone ;  my  steps  had 
well  nigh  slipped. 

18  Sui-ely  thou  didst  set  them  in 
slippery  places:  thou  castedst 
them  down  into  destruction. 

Ps.  a5— 6  Let  their  way  be  dark 
and  slippery :  and  let  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  persecute  them. 

Je.  23—12  Wherefore  their  way 
shall  be  unto  them  as  slippery 
ways  in  the  darkness:  they  shall 
be  driven  on,  and  fall  therein:  for 
I  will  bring  evil  upon  them,  even 
the  year  of  their  visitation,  saitn 
the  Lord.    p.  227.

Jos.  7—1  But  the  children  of 
Israel  committed  a  trespass  in  the 
accursed  thing:  for  Achau,  of  the 
tribe  of  Judah,  took  of  the  ac- 
cursed thing:  and  the  anger  of 
tlie  Lord  was  kindled  against 
the  children  of  Israel. 

2  And  Joshua  sent  men  from 
Jericho  to  Ai,  about  three  thou- 
sand men;  and  they  tied  before 
the  men  of  Ai. 

5  And  the  men  of  Ai  smote  of 
them  about  thirty  and  six  men: 
wherefor  the  hearts  of  the  people 
melted,  and  became  as  water. 

6  And  Joshua  rent  his  clothes, 
and  fell  to  the  earth  upon  his  face 
before  the  ark  of  the  Lord  until 
the  eventide,  he  and  the  elders  of 
Israel,  and  put  dust  upon  their 
heads. 

8  O  Lord,  what  shall  I  say,  when 
Israel  turneth  their  backs  before 
their  enemies! 

10  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Joshua,  Get  thee  up;  wherefore 
liest  thou  thus  upon  thy  face? 

11  Israel  hath  simied,  and  they 
have  also  transgressed  my  cove- 
nant which  1  commanded  them: 
for  they  have  even  taken  of  the 
accursed  thing,  and  they  have  put 
it  even  among  their  own  stuff. 

12  Therefore  the  children  of  Is- 
rael could  not  stand  before  their 
enemies,  because  they  were  ac- 
cursed :  neither  will  I  be  with  you 
any  more,  except  ye  destroy  the 
accursed  from  among  you. 

13  Up,  sanctify  the  people,  aud 
say.  Sanctify  yourselves  against 
to  morrow:  for  thus  saitli  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel,  There  is  an 
accursed  tiling  in  the  midst  of 
thee,  O  Israel:  thou  canst  not 
stand  before  thine  enemies,  until 
ye  take  away  the  accursed  thing 
from  among  you. 

14  In  the  morning  therefore  ye 
shall  be  brouglit  according  to  your 
tribes:  and  it  shall  be,  that  the 
tribe  which  the  Lord  taketh  shall 
come  according  to  the  families 
thereof;  and  the  family  which  the 
Lord  shall  take  shall  come  by 


278 


households;  and  the  household 
which  the  Lord  shall  take  shall 
come  mau  by  man. 

15  And  it  shall  be,  that  he  that 
is  taken  with  the  accursed  thing 
shall  be  burnt  with  tire,  he  and 
all  that  he  hath:  because  he  hath 
transgressed  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  and  because  he  hath 
wrought  folly  in  Israel.     . 

16  So  Joshua  rose  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  brought  Israel  bv 
their  ti-ibes;    and    the    tribe   of 

:jxxdah  was  taken: 

17  And  he  brought  the  family  of 
Judah;  and  he  took  the  family  of 
the  Zarhites:  and  he  brought  "the 
family  of  the  Zarhites  man  by 
man ;  and  Zabdi  was  taken: 

18  And  he  brought  his  household 
man  by  man;  and  Achan,  the  son 
of  Carmi,  thesonof  Zabdi,  the  son 
of  Zerah,  bt  the  tribe  of  Judah, 
was  taken. 

19  And  Joshua  said  tinto  Achan, 
My  son,  give,  I  pray  thee,  glory  to 
the  Lord  Crod  of  Israel,  and  make 
confession  imto  him;  and  tell  me 

.now  what  thou  hast  done ;  hide  it 
not  from  me. 

20  And  Achan  answered  Joshua, 
and  said,  Indeed  I  have  sinned 
against  the  Lord  God  of  Israel, 
and  thus  and  thiiis  have  I  done: 

21  When  I  saAV'  among  the  spoils 
a  goodly  Babylonish  garment,  and 
two  hundred  shekels  of  silver,  and 
a  wedge  of  gold  of  tifty  shekels 
weight,  then  I  coveted  them,  and 
took  them;  and,  behold,  thev 
are  hid  in  the  earth  in  the  midst 
of  my  tent,  and  the  silver  under 

if-    "        .     ':    .-.■;•;.  ;■,  ■    , 

' '  22  So  Joshua'  sfeiit '  "messengers, 
and  th'6yran  unto  the  tent;  and. 
behold.  It  was  hid  in  his  tent,  and 
the  silver  under  it. 

23  And  they  took  them  out  of 
the  midst  of  the  tent,  and  brought 

'them  unto  Joshua,  and  imto  all 
the  children  of  Israel,  and  laid 
them  out  before  the  Lord. 

24  And  Joshua,  and  all  Israel 
with  him,  took  Achan  the  son  of 
Zerah,  and  the  silver,  and  the  gar- 
ment, and  the  wedge  of  gold,  and 
his  sons,  find  his  diiughters,  and 
his  flxen,  and  his  asses,  and  his 
sheep,,  and  his  tent,  and  all  that 
he  had:  and  they  brought  tliem 
unto  the  valley  of  Achor. 

'2.5  And  Joshua  said,  Whv  hast 
tltoti  troubled  us?  the  Lord  shall 
trouble  thee.this  dav.  And  all  Is- 
raer stoned  him  with  stones,  and 


burped  them  with  fire,  after  they 
had  stoned  them  with  stones. 

26  And  they  raised  over  him  a 
gi'eat  heap  of  stones  unto  this  day. 
So  the  Lord  turned  from  tlie 
fierceness  of ,  his  anger.  Where- 
fore the  name  of  that  place  was 
called.  The  valley  of  Achor,  imto 
this  day. 

Ac.  2 — 43  And  many  wonders  and 
signs  were  done  by  the  apostles. 

44  And  all  that  believed  were 
together,  and  had  all  things  com- 
mon ; 

45  And  sold  their  possessions  and 
goods,  an  d  parted  them  to  all  men, 
as  every  man  had  need. 

Ac.  4—34  Neither  was  there  any 
among  them  that  lacked:  for  as 
many  as  were  possessors  of  lands 
or  houses  sold  them,  and  brought 
the  prices  of  the  things  that  were 
sold, 

35  And"  laid  them  down  at  the 
apostles'  feet:  and  distribution 
was  made  unto  every  man  accord- 
ing as  he  had  need. 

36  And  Joses,  who  by  the  apos- 
tles was  surnamed  '  Barnabas, 
(which  is.  bein^  interpreted.  The 
son  of  consolation  )  a  Levite,  and 
of  the  country  of  Cyprus, 

37  Having  land,  sold  it,  and 
brought  the  money,  and  laid  it 
at  the  apostles'  feet.

279 


17  A  proud  look,  ;i  lying  tongue, 
and  hands  that  shed  innocent 
blood, 

18  A  heait  that  deviseth  wicked 
imaginations,  feet  that  be  swift 
in  running  to  mischief, 

19  A  false  witness  that  speaketh 
lies,  and  he  that  soweth  discord 
among  brethren. 

Fro.  28—5  Evil  men  iinderstand 
not  iudgmeut :  but  they  that  seek 
the  Lord  understand  all  things. 

Pro. 80— 15  There  are  three  things 
that  are  never  satisfied,  yea,  four 
things  say  not.  It  is  enough : 

IG  The  grave;  aud  the  barren 
womb;  the  eartli  that  is  not  filled 
with  water ;  and  the  fire  that  saith 
not.  It  is  enough. 

17  The  eye  that  mocketli  at  his 
father,  and  despiseth  to  obeyliis 
mother,  the  ravens  of  the  valley 
shall  pick  it  out,  and  the  young 
eagles  shall  eat  it. 

18  There  be  three  things  which 
are  too  wonderful  for  me,  yea, 
four  which  I  know  not: 

19  The  way  of  an  eagle  in  tlie 
air :  the  way  of  a  serpent  upon  a 
rock;  the  way  of  a  ship  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea;  and  the  way  of  a 
man  with  a  maid. 

21  For  three  things  the  earth  is 
disquieted,  and  for  four  which  it 
cannot  bear:  '    . ' 

23  For  a  servant  when  he  reigh- 
eth ;  and  a  fool  when  he  iS  filled 
withtneat; 

2:^  For  an  odious  woman  when 
she  is  maiTied;  and  a  handmaid 
that  is  heir  to  her  mistress.  • 

24  There  be  four  things  which 
are  little  upon  the  earth,  but  they 
areexceedingwi.se: 

25  The  ants  are  a  people  not 
strong,  yet  they  prepare  their 
meat  ni  the  summer; 

26  The  conies  are  but  a  feeble 
folk,  yet  make  they  their  houses 
in  the  rocks;  ,     , 

27  The  locusts  have  no  king,  yet 
go  they  forth  all  of  them  by 
bands; 

2S  Tlie  spider  tal\Pth  hold  wit3i 
her  tijin'ds,  and  is  in  kiiigs'  palaces.

Ec.  1—8  All  things  are  full  of 


labour;  man  cannot  utter  it:  tlie 
eye  is  not  satisfied  with  .seemg, 
nor  the  ear  filled  with  hearing. 

9  The  thing  that  hath  been,  it 
is  tliat  which  shall  be:  and  that 
which  is  done  is  that  which  shall 
be  done:  and  there  is  no  new 
thing  under  the  sun. 

10  Is  there  any  thing  whereof  it 
may  be  said.  See,  this  is  new?  it 
hath  been  already  of  old  time, 
which  was  before  us. 

u  There  is  no  remembrance  of 
former  things;  ueitlier  shall  there 
lie  any  remembrance  of  things 
that  are  to  come  with  those  that 
shall  come  after.

the  things  of  old. 

19  Behold,  I  will  do  a  new  thing; 
now  it  shall  Spring  forth;  shall  ye 
not  know  it?  T  will  even  make 
a  way  in  the  wilderness,  and  riv- 
ers in  the  desert. 

Is.  46—9  Remember  the  former 
things.of  old:  for  I  am  God,  and 
there  is  none  else;  I  am  God,  and 
there  is  none  like  ine,

Jno.  16—12  I  have  yet  many

Ro.  8—28  And  we  know  that  all 
things  work  together  for  good  to 
them  that  love  God,  to  them  who 
are  the  called  according  to  his 
pvirpose. 

Ro.  9—20  O  man,  who  art  thou 
that  repliest  against  God?  Shall 
the  thing  formed  say  to  him  that 
formed  it,  Why  hast  thou  made 
me  thus? 

Ro.  14—19  Let  us  follow  after  the 
things  which  make  for  peace,  and 
things  wherewith  one  may  edify 
another. 

1  Co.  6—12  All  things  are  lawful 
unto  me,  bvit  all  things  are  not 
expedient:  all  things  are  lawful 
for  me,  but  1  will  not  be  brought 
under  the  power  of  any. 

1  Co.  9—11  If  we  have  sown  unto 
you  spiritual  things,  is  it  a  great 
thing  if  we  shall  reap  your  carnal 
things? 

1  Co.  13—7  Beareth  all  things, 
believeth  all  things,  hopetli  all 
thmgs,  endureth  all  things. 

1  Co.  14—26  Let  all  things  be 
done  unto  edifying. 

40  Let  all  things  DC  done  decent- 
ly and  in  order. 

1  Co.  16—14  Let  all  your  things 
be  done  with  charity. 

2  Co.  4—18  While  we  look  not  at 
the  things  which  are  seen,  but  at 
tlie  things  which  are  not  seen: 
for  the  things  which  are  seen  are 
temporal ;  but  the  things  which 
are  not  .seen  are  eternal. 

2  Co.  5—17  If  any  man  be  in 
Christ,  he  is  a  new  creature:  old 
things  are  passed  away;  behold, 
all  things  are  become  new. 

18  And  all  things  are  of  God, 
who  hath  reconciled  us  to  himself 
by  Jesus  Christ. 

2  Co.  6—10  As  sorrowful,  yet  al- 
way  rejoicing;  as  poor,  yet  mak- 
ing many  rich;  as  having  noth- 
ing, and  yet  possessing  all  things. 

17  Wherefore  come  out  from 
among  them,  and  be  ye  separate, 
saith  the  Lord,  and  touch  not  the 
unclean  thing;  and  I  will  receive 
you. 

2  Co.  8—21  Providing  for  honest 
things,  not  only  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord,  but  also  in  the  sight  of 
men. 

Phi.  2—4  Look  not  every  man 
on  his  own  things,  biit  every  man 
also  on  the  things  of  others. 


Phi.  2—14  Do  all  things  without 
murmurings  and  disputiugs. 

Phi.  3—13  Brethren,  this  one 
thing  I  do,  forgetting  those  things 
which  are  behind,  and  reaching 
forth  unto  those  things  which  are 
before. 

Phi.  4 — 8  Whatsoever  things  are 
true,  whatsoever  things  are  hon- 
est, whatsoever  things  are  just, 
whatsoever  things  are  pure,  what- 
soever things  are  lovely,  whatso- 
ever things  are  of  good  report;  if 
there  be  any  virtue,  and  if  there  be 
any  nraise,  think  on  these  things. 

9  Those  things,  which  ye  have 
both  learned,  and  received,  and 
heard,  and  seen  in  me,  do :  and  the 
God  of  peace  shall  be  with  you. 

13  I  can  do  all  things  through 
Christ  which  strengtheneth  me. 

Col.  3—2  8et  yom-  affection  on 
things  above,  not  on  things  on  the 
earth. 

1  Th.  5—18  In  every  thing  give 
thanks:  for  this  is  the  will  of  God 
in  Christ  Jesus  concerning  you. 

21  Prove  all  things;  hold  fast 
that  which  is  good. 

2  Ti.  2—2  And  the  things  that 
thou  hast  heard  of  me  among 
many  witnesses,  the  same  commit 
thou  to  faithful  men,  who  shall 
be  able  to  teach  others  also. 

He. 5— 11  Of  whom  we  havemany 
things  to  say,  and  hard  to  be  utter- 
ed, seeing  ye  are  dull  of  hearing. 

He.  6—9  But,  beloved,  we  are 
persuaded  better  things  of  you, 
and  things  that  accompany  salva- 
tion. 

1  Pe.  4—7  But  the  end  of  all 
things  is  at  hand:  be  ye  therefore 
sober,  and  watch  unto  prayer. 

8  And  above  all  things  have 
ferventcharityamongyom'selves: 
for  charity  shall  cover  the  multi- 
tude of  sins. 

2  Pe.  3—15  Our  beloved  brother 
Paul  according  to  the  wisdom 
given  unto  him  hath  written  un- 
to you ; 

16  As  also  in  all  his  epistles, 
speaking  in  them  of  these  things; 
in  which  are  some  things  hard  to 
be  understood,  which  they  that 
are  unlearned  and  unstable  wrest, 
as  they  do  also  the  other  Script- 
ures, unto  their  own  destruction. 

Jude  1—10  But  these  speak  evil 
of  those  things  which  they  know 
not:  but  what  they  know  natural- 
ly, as  brute  beasts,  in  those  things 
they  corrupt  themselves.

my  time  is:  wherefore  hast  thou 
made  all  men  in  vain? 

48  What  man  is  he  that  liveth, 
and  shall  not  see  death?  shall  he 
deliver  his  soul  from  the  hand  of 
the  grave?    Selah. 

Ec.  3—1  To  every  thing  there  is 
a  season,  and  a  time  to  every  pur- 
pose under  the  heaven : 

2  A  time  to  be  born,  and  a  time 
to  die ;  a  time  to  plant,  and  a  time 
to  pluck  up  that  which  is  planted ; 

3  A  time  to  kill,  and  a  time  to 
heal ;  a  time  to  break  down,  and 
a  time  to  build  up. 

4  A  time  to  weep,  and  a  time  to 
laugh;  a  time  to  mourn,  and  a 
time  to  dance; 

5  A  time  to  cast  away  stones, 
and  a  time  to  gather  stones  to- 
gether; a  time  to  embrace,  and  a 
lime  to  refrain  from  embracing; 

6  A  time  to  get,  and  a  time  to 
lose ;  a  time  to  keep,  and  a  time 
to  cast  away ; 

7  A  time  to  rend,  and  a  time  to 
sew ;  a  time  to  keep  silence,  and 
a  time  to  speak ; 

8  A  time  to  love,  and  a  time  to 
hate;  a  time  of  war,  and  a  time 
of  1)6  ace. 

.Ino.  7—6  Then  Jesus  said  unto 
them.  My  time  is  not  yet  come: 
bixt  your  time  is  always  ready. 

2  Co.  6—2  For  he  saith,  I  have 
heard  thee  in  a  time  accepted, 
and  in  the  day  of  salvation  nave 
I  succoured  tnee:  behold,  now  is 
the  accepted  time;  behold,  now 
is  the  day  of  salvation. 

Is.  49—8  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  In 


an  acceptable  time  have  I  heard 
thee,  and  in  a  day  of  salvation 
have  I  helped  thee. 

2  Ti.  4—6  For  I  am  now  ready  to 
be  offered,  and  the  time  of  my  de- 
parture is  at  hand..

Ps.  39—1  I  said,  I  will  take  heed 
to  my  ways,  that  I  sin  not  with 
my  tongue :  I  will  keep  my  moutli 
with  a  bridle,  while  the  wicked  is 
before  me. 

2  I  was  dumb  with  silence,  I 
held  my  peace,  even  from  good; 
and  my  sorrow  was  stirred. 

3  My  heart  was  hot  within  me; 
while  I  was  musing  the  tire  burn- 
ed :  then  .spake  I  with  my  tongue. 

4  Lord,  make  me  to  know  mine 
end,  and  the  measure  of  my  days, 
what  it  is;  that  I  may  know  how 
frail  I  am. 

Ps.  52—1  Why  boastest  thou  thy- 
self in  mischief,  O  mighty  man? 
the  goodness  of  God  eudureth 
continually. 

2  Thy  tongue  deviseth  mis- 
chiefs ;  like  a  shai-p  razor,  working 
deceitfully. 

3  Thou  lovest  evil  more  than 
good;  and  lying  rather  than  to 
speak  righteousness.    Selah. 

4  Thou  lovest  all  devouring 
words,  O  thou  deceitful  tongue. 

Ps.  120—2  Deliver  my  soul,  O 
Lord,  from  lying  lips,  and  from  a 
deceitful  tongue. 

3  What  shall  be  given  unto  thee? 
or  what  shall  be  done  unto  thee, 
thou  false  tongue? 

4  Sharp  arrows  of  the  mighty, 
with  coals  of  juniper. 

Pro.  10—20  The  tongue  of  the 
just  is  as  choice  silver:  the  heart 
of  the  wicked  is  little  worth. 

Pro.  15—4  A  wholesome  tongue 
is  a  tree  of  life:  hut  perverseness 
therein  is  a  breach  in  the  spirit. 

Pro.  17—4  A  wicked  doer  giveth 
heed  to  fal.se  lips;  and  a  liar  giv- 
eth ear  to  a  naughty  tongue. 

Pro.  18—21  Death  and  life  are  in 
the  power  of  the  tongue :  and  they 
that  love  it  shall  eat  the  fniit 
thereof. 

Pro.  2.5—15  By  long  forbearing  is 
a  prince  persuaded,  and  a  soft 
tongue  breaketh  the  bone. 


282 


Pro.  25—23  The  north  wind  driv- 
eth  away  rain :  so  doth  an  angry 
countenance  a  backbiting  tongue. 

Pro.  26—28  A  lying  tongue  hat- 
eth  tliose  that  are  afflicted  by  it ; 
and  a  flattering  moutli  worketh 
ruin. 

Is.  35—6  Then  shall  the  lame 
man  leap  as  a  hart,  and  the  tongue 
of  the  du.mb  sing. 

Je.  9—8  Their  tongue  is  as  an 
arrow  shot  Out;  it  speaketh  de- 
ceit :  one  speaketh  peaceably  to  his 
neighbour  with  his  mouth,  but  in 
heart  he  layeth  his  wait. 

Ac.  2—3  And  there  appeared  un- 
to them  cloveh  tongues  like  as  of 
fire,  and  it  sat  upon  each  of  them. 

4  And  they  were  all  fi,^lled  with 
the  Holy  Ghost,  and  began  to 
speak  with  other  tongues,  as  the 
Spirit  gave  them  utterance. 

Ja.  3—3  Behold,  we  put  bits  in 
the  horses'  mOuths,  that  they  may 
obey  us;  and  we  turn  about  their 
whole  body. 

4  Behold  also  the  ships,  which 
though  they  be  so  great,  and  are 
driven  of  fierce  winds,  yet  are 
they  turned  about  with  a  very 
small  helm,  whithersoever  the 
governor  listeth. 

5  Even  so  the  tongue  is  a  lit- 
tle  member,  and  boasteth  great 
things.  Behold,  how  great  a  mat- 
ter a  little  fire  kindleth! 

G  And  the  tongue  is  a  fire,  a 
world  of  initiuity :  so  is  the  tongue 
among  our  members,  tliat  it  de- 
tileth  the  whole  body,  and  setteth 
on  tire  the  course  of  nature ;  and 
it  is  set  on  fire  of  hell. 

7  For  every  kind  of  beasts,  aiid 
of  birds,  and  of  serpents,  and  of 
things  in  the  sea,  is  tamed,  and 
hath  been  tamed  of  mankind : 

8  But  the  tongue  can  no  man 
tame;  it  is  an  unruly  e\i\,  full  of 
deadly  poison. 

f>  Therewith  bless  we  God,  even 
the  Father;  and  therewith  curse 
we  men,  which  are  made  after 
the  similitude  of  God. 

10  Out  of  the  sam6  mouth  pro- 
ceedeth  blessing  and  cursing. 

Prophesy  preferred  to  the  gift  of 
tongues. 

1  Co.  14—1  Follow  after  charity, 
and  desire  spiritual  gifts,  but 
rather  that  ye  may  propiiesy. 

2  For  he  that  speaketh  hi  an  un- 
known tongue  speaketh  not  unto 
nien,  but  unto  God:  for  no  man 


understandeth  him ;  howbeit  in 
the  spirit  he  speaketh  mysteries. 

3  But  he  that  prophesinth  speak- 
eth unto_men  to  edification,  and 
exhortation,  and  comfort. 

4  He  that  speaketh  in  an  un- 
known tongue  editieth  himself; 
but  he  that  prophesieth  edifieth 
the  church. 

51  would  that  ye  all  spake  with 
tongues,  but  rather  that  ye  proph- 
esied ;  for  greater  is  lie  that  proph- 
esieth than  he  that  speaketh  with 
tongues,  except  he  inteipret,  that 
the  church  may  receive  edifying. 

6  Now,  brethren,  if  I  come  unto 
you  speaking  with  tongues,  what 
shall  I  profit  you,  except  I  shall 
speak  to  you  either  by  revelation, 
or  by  knowledge,  or  by  prophesy- 
ing, or  by  doctrine? 

7  And  even  things  without  life 
giving  .sound,  whether  pipe  or 
harp,  except  they  give  a  distinct- 
tion  in  the  sounds,  iiow  shall  it  be 
known  what  is  piped  or  harped? 

8  For  if  thertrumpet  give  an  un- 
certain .sound,  who  shall  prepare 
himself  to  the  battle? 

9  So  likewi.se  ye,  except  ye  utter 
by  the  tongue  words  easy  to  be 
understood,  how  shall  it  be  known 
what  is  spoken?  for  ye  shall  speak 
into  the  air. 

10  There  are,  it  may  be,  so  many 
kinds  of  voices  in  the  worldj  and 
none  of  them  is  without  sigmfica- 
tion. 

11  Therefore  if  I  know  not  the 
meaning  of  the  voice,  1  shall  be 
unto  him  that  speaketh  a  barba- 
rian, and  he  that  speaketh  shall 
be  a  barbarian  unto  me. 

12  Even  so  ye,  for  as  much  as  ye 
are  zealous  of  .spiritual  gifts,  seek 
that  ye  may  excel  to  the  edifying 
of  the  churcb, 

13  Wherefore  let  him  that  speak- 
eth in  an  unknown  tongue  pray 
that  he  may  interpret. 

14  For  if  I  pray  in  an  unknown 
tongue,  my  spirit  prayeth,  but  my 
understanding  is  unfruitful. 

15  What  is  it  then?  I  will  pray 
with  the  spirit,  and  1  will  pray 
with  tlie  understanding  also:  1 
will  sing  with  the  spirit,  and  1  will 
sing  witli  the  undeivstanduig  also. 

16  Else,  when  thou  shalt  ble.ss 
with  the  spirit,  how  shall  he  that 
occupieth  tlie  room  of  the  un- 
learned say  Amen  at  thy  giving  of 
thanks,  seeing  he  understandeth 
not  what  thou  sayest> 


283 


17  For  thou  verily  givest  thanks 
well,  but  the  other  is  uot  editieel. 

18  I  thank  my  (iod,  I  speak  with 
tongues  more  than  ye  all: 

19  Yet  in  the  chiu-ch  1  had  rather 
speak  live  words  with  my  under- 
standing, that  by  my  vt)ice  I 
might  teach  others  also,  than  ten 
thousand  words  iu  an  unknown 
tongue. 

20  Brethren,  be  not  children  'in 
undei'standing:  howboit  in  malice 
be  ye  children,  but  iu  understand- 
ing be  men. 

■Jl  In  the  law  it  is  written.  With 
men  of  other  tongues  and  other 
lips  will  I  speak  unto  this  people; 
and  yet  for  all  tliat  will  they  not 
hear  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

(Is.  28—11  For  with  stammering- 
lips  and  another  tongue  will  he 
speak  to  this  people.) 

22  Wherefore  tongues  are  for  a 
sign,  not  to  them  that  believe, 
but  to  them  that  believe  not :  but 
prophesying  serveth  uot  for  them 
that  believe  uot,  but  for  them 
which  believe. 

23  If  therefore  the  whole  church 
be  come  together  into  one  place, 
and  all  speak  with  tongues,  and 
there  come  in  those  that  are  un- 
learned, or  unbelievei-s,  will  they 
not  say  that  ye  are  mad? 

24  But  if  all  prophesy,  and  there 
come  in  one  that  believeth  uot,  or 
one  unlearned,  he  is  convinced  of 
all,  he  is  judged  of  all: 

25  And  thus  are  the  secrets  of 
his  heart  made  manifest:  and  so 
falling  do^Ti  on  his  face  he  will 
worship  God,  and  report  that  God 
is  in  you  of  a  ti'uth. 

26  How  is  it  then,  brethren? 
when  ye  come  together,  every  one 
of  you  hath  a  psalm,  hath  a  doc- 
trine, hath  a  tongue,  hath  a  rev- 
elation, hath  an  interpretation. 
Let  all  things  be  done  unto  edify- 
ing. 

27  If  any  man  speak  in  an  un- 
known tongue,  let  it  be  by  two,  or 
at  the  most  by  three,  and  that  by 
course ;  and  let  one  interpret. 

28  But  if  there  be  no  interpreter, 
let  him  keep  silence  in  the  church ; 
and  let  him  speak  to  himself,  and 
to  God. 

29  Let  the  prophets  speak  two  or 
three,  and  let  the  other  judge. 

30  If  anything  be  revealed  to  an- 
other that  sitteth  by,  let  the  first 
bold  his  peace. 

31  For  ye  may  all  prophesy  one 


by  one,  that  all  may  learn,  and  all 
may  be  comforted. 

32  And  the  spiritsof  the  prophets 
are  subject  to  the  prophets. 

37  If  anv  man  think  himself  to 
be  a  pi'ophet,  or  spiritual,  let  him 
acknowledge  that  the  things  that 
I  write  unto  you  are  the  command- 
ments of  the  Lord. 

38  But  if  any  man  be  ignorant, 
let  him  be  ignorant. 

3;i  Wherefore,  l)rethren,  covet  to 
prophesy,  and  forbid  not  to  speak 
with  tongues.

Ps.  69—25  Let  their  habitation  be 
desolate;  and  let  none  dwell  iu

THE  TEMPLE,  the  House  of 
God.  Christ  driveth  the  buyers 
and  sellers  out  of  the  Temple,  and 
also  overthrew  the  tables  of  the 
money  changers  in  the  Temple. 
See  Mat.  21,  Mar.  11,  Lu.  19.  Jno.  2, 
and  Je.  7,  following,  etc.  Solo- 
mon's Temple,  p.  366-372.  Temple 
of  Diana,  Ac.  19.  24-28. 

Mat.  21—12  And  Jesus  went  into 
the  temple  of  God,  and  cast  out  all 
them  that  sold  and  bought  in  the 
temple,  and  overthrew  the  tables 
of  the  money  changers,  and  the 
seats  of  them  that  sold  doves, 

13  And  said  unto  them.  It  is 
written.  My  house  shall  be  called 
the  house  of  prayer ;  but  ye  have 
made  it  a  den  of  thieves. 


Mar.  11—15  And  they  come  to  Je- 
rusalem: and  Jesus  went  into  the 
temple,  and  began  to  cast  out 
them  that  sold  and  bought  in  the 
temple,  and  overthrew  the  tables 
of  tne  money  changers,  and  the 
seats  of  them  that  sold  doves: 


16  And  would  not  suffer  that 
any  man  should  carry  any  vessel 
through  the  temple. 

17  And  he  taught,  saying  unto 
them.  Is  it  not  written,  My  house 
shall  be  called  of  all  nations  the 
house  of  prayer?  but  ye  have 
made  it  a  den  of  thieves. 


Lu.  19—45  And  he  went  into  the 
temple,  and  began  to  cast  out 
them  that  sold  therein,  and  them 
that  bought; 

46  Saying  unto  them.  It  is  writ- 
ten. My  house  is  the  house  of 
prayer;  but  ye  have  made  it  a 
den  of  thieves. 

47  And  he  taught  daily  in  the 
temple.  But  the  chief  priests  and 
the  scribes  and  the  chief  of  the 
people  sought  to  destroy  him, 

48  And  could  not  lind  what  they 
might  do:  for  all  the  people  were 
very  attentive  to  hear  him. 

Jno.  2—13  And  the  Jews'  pass- 
over  was  at  hand,  and  Jesus  went 
up  to  Jesusalem, 

14  And  found  in  the  temple  those 
that  sold  oxen  and  sheep  and 
doves,  and  the  changers  of  money 
sitting: 

15  And  when  he  had  made  a 
scourge  of  small  cords,  he  drove 
them  all  out  of  the  temple,  and 
the  sheep,  and  the  oxen;  and 
poured  out  the  changers'  money, 
and  overthrew  the  tables; 

16  And  said  unto  them  that  sold 
doves.  Take  these  things  hence ; 
make  not  my  Father's  house  a 
house  of  merchandise. 

17  And  his  disciples  remem- 
bered that  it  was  written.  The  zeal 
of  thine  house  hath  eaten  me  up: 

18  Then  answered  the  Jews  and 
said  unto  him.  What  sign  shewcst 
thou  unto  us,  seeing  that  thou  do- 
est  these  things? 

19  Jesus  answered  and  said  un- 
to them.  Destroy  this  temple,  and 
in  three  days  I  will  raise  it  up. 

20  Then  said  the  Jews,  Forty 
and  six  years  was  this  temple  in 
building,  and  wilt  thou  rear  it  up 
in  three  days? 

21  But  he  spake  of  the  temple 
of  his  body. 

22  When  therefore  he  was  risen 
from  the  dead,  his  disciples  re- 
membered that  he  had  said  this 
unto  them ;  and  they  believed  the 
Scripture,  and  the  word  which 
Jesus  had  said. 


285 


Je.  7—8  Behold  ye  trust  in  lying 
words,  that  cannot  profit. 

10  And  come  ana  stand  before 
nie  in  this  house,  which  is  called 
by  lyy  name,  and  say,  We  are  de- 
livered to  do  all  these  abomina- 
tions? 

11  Is  this  house,  which  is  called 
by  my  name,  become  a  den  of 
robbers  in  your  eyes?  Behold, 
even  1  have  seen  it,  saith  the 
Lord. 

12  But  go  ye  now  unto  my  place 
which  was  in  Shiloh,  where  I  set 
mv  name  at  the  lirst,  and  see  what 
I  did  to  it  for  the  wickedness  of 
my  people  Israel. 

13  And  now,  because  ye  have 
done  all  these  works,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  I  spake  unto  you,  ris- 
ing up  early  and  speaking,  but  ye 
heard  not ;  and  I  called  you,  but 
ye  answered  not ; 

14  Therefore  will  I  do  unto  this 
house,  which  is  called  by  my 
name,  wherein  ye  trust,  and  unto 
the  place  which  I  gave  to  you  and 
to  your  fathers,  as  I  have  done  to 
Shiloh. 

15  And  I  will  cast  you  out  of  my 
sight,  as  I  have  cast  out  all  your 
brethren,  even  the  whole  seed  of 
Ephraim. 

16  Therefore  pray  not  thou  for 
this  people,  neitlier  lift  up  cry  nor 
prayer  for  them,  neither  make 
intercession  tome:  for  I  will  not 
hear  thee.

temple.

Re.  4—1  I  looked,  and,  behold,  a 
door  was  opened  in  heaven:  and 
the  first  voice  which  I  heard  was 
as  it  were  of  a  trumpet  talking 
with  me;  which  said,  Come  up 
hither,  and  I  will  shew  thee 
things  which  must  be  hereafter. 

2  And  immediately  1  was  in  the 
Spu'it:  and,  behold,  a  throne  was 
set  in  heaven,  and  one  sat  on  the 
throne. 

3  And  he  that  sat  was  to  look 
upon  like  a  jasper  and  a  sardine 
stone:  and  there  was  a  rainbow 
round  about  the  throne,  in  sight 
like  unto  an  emerald. 

4  And  round  about  the  throne 
were  four  and  twenty  seats:  and 
upon  the  seats  I  saw  four  and 
twenty  elders  sitting,  clothed  in 
white  raiment ;  and  they  had  on 
their  heads  cro\vns  of  gold. 

5  And  out  of  the  throne  pro- 
ceeded lightnings  and  thimder- 
ings  and  voices:  and  there  were 
seven  lamps  of  tire  bm-ning  be- 
fore the  throne,  which  are  the 
seven  Spirits  of  God. 


286 


6  And  before  the  throne  there 
was  a  sea  of  glass  like  imto  ci-ys- 
tal :  and  in  the  midst  of  the  throne, 
and  round  about  the  throne,  were 
foiu'  beasts  full  of  eyes  before  and 
behind. 

7  And  the  first  beast  was  like  a 
lion,  and  the  second  beast  like  a 
calf,-  and  the  third  beast  had  a 
face  as  a  man,  and  the  fourth 
beast  was  like  a  tiying  eagle. 

8  And  the  four  beasts  had  each 
of  them  six  wings  about  him ;  and 
they  were  full  of  eyes  within:  and 
they  rest  not  day  and  night,  say- 
ing. Holy,  holy,  holy,  Lord  God 
Almighty,  which  was,  and  is,  and 
is  to  come. 

9  And  when  those  beasts  give 
glory  and  honour  and  thanks  to 
him  that  sat  on  the  throne,  who 
liveth  for  ever  and  ever, 

10  The  four  and  twenty  elders 
fall  down  before  him  that  sat  on 
the  throne,  and  worship  him  that 
liveth  for  ever  and  ever,  and  cast 
their  crowns  before  the  throne, 
saying, 

11  Tliou  art  worthy,  O  Lord,  to 
receive  glory  and  honour  and 
power:  for  thou  hast  created  all 
things,  and  tor  thy  pleasure  they 
are  and  were  created. 


Re.  7—9  I  beheld,  and,  lo,  a 
great  multitude,  which  no  man 
could  number,  of  all  nations,  and 
kindreds,  and  people,  and  tongues, 
stood  before  the  throne,  and  be- 
fore the  Lamb,  clothed  with  white 
robes,  and  palms  in  their  hands; 

10  And  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
.saying,  Salvation  to  oiu"  <Tod 
which  sitteth  upon  the  throne, 
and  unto  the  Lamb. 

11  And  all  the  angels  stood  round 
about  the  throne,  and  about  the 
elders  and  the  four  beasts,  and  fell 
before  the  throne  on  their  faces, 
and  worshipped  (lod, 

12  vSayLng,  Amen :  Blessing,  and 
glory,  and  wisdom,  and  thanks- 
giviiig,  and  honour,  and  power, 
and  might,  be  mito  our  God  for 
ever  and  ever.    Amen. 

13  And  one  of  the  elders  answer- 
ed, saying  unto  me.  What  are 
these  which  are  arrayed  in  white 
robes?  and  whence  came  they? 

14  And  I  said  unto  him,  Sir, 
tbovi  knowest.  And  he  said  to 
me,  These  are  they  which  came 
out  of  great  tribulation,  and  have 
washed   their   robes,   and  made 


them  white  in  the  blood  of  the 
Lamb. 

15  Therefore  are  they  before  the 
throne  of  God,  and  serve  him  day 
and  night  in  his  temple :  and  he 
that  sitteth  on  the  throne  shall 
dwell  among  them. 

IG  They  shall  hunger  no  more, 
neither  thirst ;  neither  shall  the 
sun  light  on  them,  nor  any  heat. 

17  For  the  Lamb  which  is  in  the 
midst  of  the  throne  shall  feed 
them,  and  shall  lead  them  unto 
living  fountains  of  waters:  and 
God  shall  wipe  away  all  tears 
from  their  eyes. 


Ps.  89—3 1  have  made  a  covenant 
with  my  chosen,  I  have  sworn  un- 
to David  my  servant, 

4  Thy  seed  will  I  establish  for 
ever,  and  biiild  up  thy  throne  to 
all  generations.    Selah. 

20 1  have  found  David  my  serv- 
ant ;  with  my  holy  oil  have  I 
anointed  him. 

27  Also  I  will  make  him  my  tirst- 
boni,  higher  than  the  kings  of  the 
earth. 

28  My  mercy  will  1  keep  for  him 
for  evermore,  and  my  covenant 
shall  stand  fast  with  him. 

29  His  seed  also  will  I  make  to 
endure  for  ever,  and  his  throne  as 
the  days  of  heaven. 

solfhischildren  forsake  my  law, 
and  walk  not  in  my  judgments; 

31  If  they  break  my  statutes,  and 
keep  not  my  comnuxndments; 

32  Then  -nill  1  vLsit  their  trans- 
gression with  the  rod,  and  their 
iniquity  witli  stripes. 

33  Nevertheless  my  lovingkiud- 
ness  will  I  not  utterly  take  from 
him,  nor  suffer  my  faithfulness  to 
fail. 

34  My  covenant  will  I  not  break, 
nor  alter  the  thing  that  is  gone 
out  of  my  lips. 

a5  Once  have  I  sworn  by  my  holi- 
ness that  1  will  not  lie  unto  David. 

3(5  His  seed  shall  endure  forever, 
and  his  throne  as  the  sun  before 
me. 

37  It  shall  be  established  for 
ever  as  the  moon,  and  as  a  faith- 
ful witness  in  heaven.    Selah. 

38  But  thou  hast  cast  off  and  ab- 
hon'cd,  thow  hast  been  wroth  with 
thine  anointed. 

39  Thou  hast  made  void  the  cov- 
enant of  thy  .servant:  thou  hast 
profaned  bis  crown  by  casting  it 
to  the  gi-ound.

43  Tliou  hast  also  turned  the 
edge  of  his  sword,  and  hast  not 
made  liiin  to  stand  in  the  hattle. 

44  Thou  hast  made  liis  glory  to 
cease,  and  cast  his  throne  down 
to  the  ground . 

45  The  days  of  his  youth  hast 
thoii  shortened :  thou  hast  covered 
him  with  shame.    Ps.  132,  p.  36. 


1  Ki.  10—16  And  king  Solomon 
made  two  himdred  targets  of 
heaten  gold :  six  hundred  shekels 
of  gold  went  to  one  target. 

17  And  he  made  three  hundred 
shields  of  beaten  gold;  three 
jMiunds  of  gold  went  to  one 
sliield:  and  tlie  king  put  them  in 
tlie  houseof  the  forest  of  ]>el)anon. 

18  1  Moreover,  the  king  made  a 
great  throne  of  ivory,  and  over- 
laid it  with  tlie  hest  gold. 

19  The  throne  had  six  steps,  and 
the  top  of  the  throne  was  roimd 
beliind :  and  there  were  stays  on 
either  side  on  the  place  of  the 
seat,  and  two  lions  stood  beside 
the  stays. 

20  And  twelve  lions  stood  there 
on  the  one  side  and  on  the  other 
upon  the  six  steps:  there  was  not 
the  like  made  in  any  kingdom. 

•21  And  all  king  Solomon's 
drinking  ve.ssels  were  of  gold,  and 
all  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  the 
forest  of  Lebanon  were  of  pure 
gold;  none  were  of  .silver:  it  was 
nothing  accounted  of  in  the  days 
of  Solomon,    p.  372. 

Ps.  11—4  The  Lord  is  in  his  holy 
temple,  the  Lord's  throne  is  in 
heaveii:  his  eyes  Viebold,  his  eye- 
lids trv,  the  children  of  men. 

Is.  66—1  Thus  .saith  the  Lord, 
The  heaven  is  my  throne,  and  the 
eai-th  is  my  footstool:  where  is 
the  house  that  ye  build  unto  me? 
and  where  is  the  place  of  my  rest? 

2  For  all  those  things  hath  mine 
hand  made,  and  all  tliose  things 
have  been,  saith  the  Lord:  but  to 
this  man  will  I  look,  even  to  him 
that  is  poor  and  of  a  contrite 
spirit,  and  tremhleth  at  my  word. 

He.  4—16  Let  us  therefore  come 
boldly  unto  the  throne  of  gi-ace, 
that  we  may  obtain  mercy,  and 
find  grace  to  help  in  time  of  need. 

Re.  3—21  To  him  that  over- 
cometh  will  I  grant  to  sit  with  me 
in  my  throne,  even  as  1  also  over- 
came, and  am  set  down  with  my 
Father  in  his  throne.

that  was  in  Lebanon,  saying.  Give 
thy  daughter  to  my  sou  to  wife: 
and  there  passed  by  a  wild  beast 
that  was  in  Lebanon,  and  trode 
down  the  thistle. 

1  Chr.  16—33  Then  shall  the  trees

Cometh  to  judge  the  earth. 

Job  14—7  For  there  is  hope  of  a 
tree,  if  it  be  cut  down,  that  it  will 
sprout  again,  and  that  the  tender 
branch  thereof  will  not  cease. 

8  Though  the  root  thereof  wax 
old  in  the  earth,  and  the  stock 
thereof  die  in  the  groimd ; 

9  Yet  through  the  scent  of  water 
it  will  bud,  and  bring  forth  boughs 
like  a  plant. 

10  But  man  dieth,  and  wasteth 
away:  yea,  man  giveth  up  the 
ghost,  and  where  is  he?

righteous  is  a  tree  of  life ;  and  he 
that  wiuneth  souls  is  wise.

Pro.  27—18  Whoso  keepeth  the 
fig  tree  shall  eat  the  fruit  thereof: 
so  he  that  waiteth  on  his  master 
shall  be  honoured. 

Ec.  11—3  And  if  the  tree  fall 
toward  the  south,  or  toward  the 
north,  in  the  place  where  the  tree 
falletii,  there  it  shall  be. 

Is.  10—19  And  the  rest  of  the 
trees  of  his  forest  shall  be  few, 
that  a  child  may  write  them. 

Is.  55—12  For  ye  shall  go  out  with 
joy,  and  be  led  forth  with  peace: 
the  mountains  and  the  hills  shall 
break  forth  before  you  into  sing- 
ing, and  all  the  trees  of  the  field 
shall  clap  their  hands. 

Eze.  17—24  And  all  the  trees  of 
the  held  shall  know  that  I  the 
Lord  have  brought  down  the  high 
tree,  have  exalted  the  low  tree, 
have  dried  up  the  green  tree,  and 
have  made  the  dry  tree  to  dour ish. 

Eze.  31—15  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  I  caused  Lebanon  to  mourn 
for  him,  and  all  the  trees  of  the 
field  fainted  for  him. 

Am.  2—9  Yet  destroyed  I  the 
Amorite  before  them,  whose 
height  was  like  the  height  of  the 
cedars,  and  he  was  strong  as  the 
oaks:  yet  1  destroyed  his  fruit 
above,  and  his  roots  beneath. 

Mat.  3—10  And  now  alsothe  axe 
is  laid  unto  the  root  of  the  trees: 
therefore  every  tree  which  bring- 
eth  not  forth  good  fruit  is  hewn 
down,  and  cast  into  the  tire. 

Mat.  7—15  Beware  of  false  proph- 
ets, which  come  to  you  in  sheep's 
clothing,  but  inwardly  they  are 
ravening  wolves. 

IG  Ye  shall  know  them  by  their 
fruits.  Do  men  gather  grapes  of 
thorns,  or  tigs  of  thistles? 

17  Even  so  every  good  tree  bring- 
eth  forth  good  fruit;  but  a  cor- 
rupt tree  bringeth  forth  evil  fruit. 

18  A  good  tree  cannot  bring  forth 
evil  fruit,  neither  can  a  corrupt 
tree  bring  forth  good  fruit. 

19  Every  tree  that  bringeth  not 
forth  good  fruit  is  hewn  down, 
and  cast  into  the  fu-e. 

20  Wherefore  by  their  fruits  ye 
shall  know  them. 

Mat.  12—33  Either  make  the  tree 
good,  and  his  fruit  good ;  or  else 
make  the  tree  conaipt,  and  his 
fruit  corrupt:  for  the  tree  is 
known  by  his  fruit. 

Lu.  23—31  For  if  they  do  these 
things  in  a  green  tree,  what  shall 
be  done  iu  the  dry? 


Jesus  curseth  the  tig  tree ;  the 
barren  fig  tree,  etc. 

Mat.  21—18  Now  in  the  morning, 
as  Jesus  returned  into  the  city, 
he  hungered. 

19  And  when  he  saw  a  fig  tree  in 
the  way,  he  came  to  it,  and  found 
nothuig  thereon,  but  leaves  only, 
and  said  unto  it.  Let  no  fruit  grow 
on  thee   henceforward   for  ever. 

20  And  when  the  disciples  .saw 
it,  they  marvelled,  saying.  How 
soon  isthe  fig  tree  withered  away'. 

21  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Verily  1  say  unto  you.  If  ye 
have  faith.and  doubt  not,  ye  shall 
not  only  do  this  which  is  done  to 
the  fig  tree,  but  also  if  ye  shall 
say  unto  this  mountain,  Be  thou 
removed,  and  be  thou  cast  into 
the  sea ;  it  shall  be  done. 

Lu.  13—6  A  certain  man  had  a 
fig  tree  planted  in  his  vineyard ; 
and  he  came  and  sought  fi-uit 
thereon,  and  fomid  none. 

7  Then  said  he  imto  the  dresser 
of  hisvineyard,Behold,these  three 
yeai-s  I  come  seeking  fruit  on  this 
fig  tree, and  find  none :  cut  itdowu ; 
why  cumbereth  it  the  ground? 

8  And  he  said  unto  liim,  Lord, 
let  it  alone  this  year  also,  till  1 
shall  dig  about  it,  and  dung  it: 

9  And  if  it  bear  fruit,  well:  and 
if  not,  then  after  that  thou  shalt 
cut  it  down. 

Re.  2—7  He  that  hath  an  ear,  let 
him  hear  what  the  Spirit  saith  un- 
to the  churches-  To  him  that 
overcometh  will  I  give  to  eat  of 
the  tree  of  life,  which  is  m  the 
midst  of  the  paradise  of  God.

Ps.  29—3  The  voice  of  the  Lord 
is  upon  the  waters:  the  God  of 
glory  thundereth. 

2Sa.  22—14  The  Lord  thundered 
from  heaven,  and  the  Most  High 
uttered  his  voice.

15  And  he  sent  out  arrows,  and 
scattered  them;  lightning,  and 
discomtited  them. 

Ps.  18—13  The  Lord  also  thun- 
dered in  the  heavens,  and  the 
Highest  gave  his  voice;  hail 
stones  and  coals  of  fire. 

u  Yea,  he  sent  out  his  arrows, 
and  scattered  them;  and  he  shot 
out  lightnings,  and  discomtited 
them.  

Ex.  22—2  If  a  thief  be  found 
breaking  up,  and  be  smitten  that 
lie  die,  there  shall  no  blood  be 
shed  for  him. 

3  If  the  sun  be  risen  upon  him, 
there  shall  be  blood  shed  for  him  ; 
for  he  should  make  full  restitu- 
tion: if  he  have  nothing,  then  he 
shall  be  sold  for  his  thett. 

4  If  the  theft  be  certainly  found 
in  his  hand  alive,  whether  it  be 
ox,  or  ass,  or  sheep ;  he  shall  restore 

.  double. 

Pro.  G— 30  Men  do  not  despise  a 
thief,  if  he  steal  to  satisfy  his  soul 
when  he  is  hungry  • 

31  But  if  he  be  found,  he  shall 
restore  sevenfold;  he  shall  give 
all  the  substance  of  his  house. 

Pro.  29—24  Whoso  is  partner  with 
a  thief  hateth  his  own  soul. 

Je.  2—26  As  the  thief  is  ashamed 
when  he  is  found,  so  is  the  house 
of  Israel  ashamed. 

Je.  49—9  If  grapegatherers  come 
to  thee,  would  they  not  leave  some 
gleaning  grapes?  if  thieves  by 
night,  they  will  destroy  till  they 
have  enough. 

Ob.  1—5  If  thieves  came  to  thee, 
if  robbers  by  night,  would  they  not 
have  stolen  till  they  had  enough? 
if  the  grapegatherers  came  to 
thee,  would  they  not  leave  some 
grapes? 

Lu.  10—30  And  Jesus  answering 
said,  A  certain  man  went  down 
from  Jerusalem  to  Jericho,  and 
fell  among  thieves,    p.  449. 

Lu.  12—39  And  this  know,  that 
if  the  goodman  of  the  house  had 
known  what  hour  the  thief  would 
come,  he  would  have  watched, and 
)iot  have  sui¥ered  his  house  to  be 
broken  through.

Re.  3— 3  If  therefore  thou  shalt

TRANCE,  TROUBLE.    See  also 
Job  5.  6.  7,  p.  189. 

Nu.  24-^  Which  heard  the  words 
of  God,  which  saw  the  vision  of 
the  Almighty,  falling  into  a 
trance,  but  having  his  eyes  open. 

Ac.  10—9  Peter  went  up  upon  the 
housetop  to  pray  about  the  sixth 
horn- : 

10  And  he  became  very  hungry, 
and  would  have  eaten:  but  while 
they  made  ready,  he  fell  into  a 
trance, 

(Ac.  11—5  I  was  in  the  city  of 
Joppa  praying:  and  in  a  trance  I 
saw  a  vision,  A  certain  vessel  de- 
scend, as  it  had  been  a  great  sheet, 
let  down  from  heaven  uy  four  cor- 
ners; and  it  came  even  to  me.) 

11  And  saw  heaven  opened,  and 
a  certain  vessel  descending  unto 
liini,  as  it  had  been  a  gi-eat  sheet 
knit  at  the  four  corners,  and  let 
down  to  the  earth : 

12  Wherein  were  all  manner  of 
f  ourf  ooted  beasts  of  the  earth,  and 
wild  beasts,  and  creeping  things, 
and  fowls  of  the  au-. 

13  And  there  came  a  voice  to 
him,  Rise,  Peter;  kill,  and  eat. 

14  But  Peter  said,  INot  so.  Lord; 
for  I  have  never  eaten  any  thing 
that  is  common  or  unclean. 

15  And  the  voice  spake  unto  him 
again  the  second  time.  What  God 
hath  cleansed,  that  call  not  thou 
common. 

16  This  was  done  thrice :  and  the 
vessel  was  received  up  again  into 
heaven.  

Job  3—26  I  was  not  in  safety,  nei- 
ther had  I  rest,neither  was  I  quiet ; 
yet  trouble  came.    p.  383. 

Job  5—19  He  shall  deliver  thee 
in  .six  troubles:  yea,  in  seven  there 
shall  no  evil  touch  thee. 

Job  1.5—24  Trouble  and  anguish 
shall  make  him  afraid ;  they  shall 
prevail  against  him,  as  a  king 
ready  to  the  battle. 

25  For  he  stretchetli  out  his  hand 
against  God,  and  strengtheueth 
himself  against  the  Almighty. 

Ps.  3—1  Lord,  how  are  they  in- 
creased that  trouble  me!  many 
are  they  that  rise  up  against  me. 

Ps.  22—11  Be  not  far  from  me ;  for 
trouble  is  near ;  for  there  is  none 
to  help.

Ps.  38—^  I  am  troubled;  I  am 
bowed  down  greatly ;  I  go  mourn- 
ing all  the  day  long. 

Ps.  41—1  Blessed  is  be  that  con- 
sidereth  the  poor:  the  Lord  will 
deliver  him  in  time  of  trouble. 

Ps.  50—1.5  And  call  ujjon  me  in 
the  day  of  trouble:  1  will  deliver 
thee,  and  thou  shalt  glorify  me. 

Ps.  60—11  Give  us  help  from  trou- 
ble: for  vain  is  the  help  of  man. 

Ps.  69—17  And  bide  not  thy  face 
from  thy  servant;  for  I  am  in 
trouble:  hear  me  speedily. 

Ps.  73—5  They  are  not  in  trouble 
as  other  men:  neither  are  they 
plagued  like  other  men. 

Is.  8—22  They  shall  look  unto  the 
earth;  and  behold  trouble  and 
darkness,  dimnessof  anguish ;  and 
they  shall  be  driven  to  darkness. 

2  Co.  4—8  We  are  troubled  on 
every  side,  yet  not  distressed ;  we 
are  perplexed,  but  not  in  despair; 

9  Persecuted,  but  not  forsaken; 
cast  down,  but  not  destroyed.

De.  34—34  Is  not  this  laid  up  in 
store  with  me,  and  sealed  up 
among  my  treasures? 

Pro.  15—16  Better  is  little  with 
the  fear  of  the  Lord,  than  gi-eat 
treasure  and  trouble  therewith. 

Is.  45—3  And  I  will  give  thee  the 
treasures  of  darkness,  and  hidden 
riches  of  secret  places,  that  thou 
mayest  know  that  I.  the  Lord, 
which  call  thee  by  thy  name,  am 
the  God  of  Israel. 

Mat.  6—19  Lay  not  up  for  your- 
selves treasures  upon  earth,  where 


moth  and  rust  doth  corrupt,  and 
where  thieves  break  through  and 
.steal : 

20  But  lay  up  for  yourselves 
treasuresin  heaven, where  neither 
moth  nor  rust  doth  corrupt,  and 
where  thieves  do  not  break 
through  nor  steal : 

21  For  where  your  treasure  is, 
there  will  yom-  heart  be  also. 

Lu.  12—21  So  is  he  that  layetb  up 
treasm-e  for  himself,  and  is  not 
rich  toward  God. 


Mat.  4—3  And  when  the  tempter 
came  to  Jesus,  he  said.  If  thoii  be 
the  Son  of  God,  command  that 
these  stones  be  made  bread,    p.  59. 

He.  2—18  For  in  that  Jesus  him- 
self hath  suffered  being  tempted, 
he  is  able  to  succour  them  that 
are  tempted. 

1  Th.  3—5  T  sent  to  know  your 
faith,  lest  by  some  means  the 
tempter  have  tempted  you.  and 
our  labour  be  in  vain. 

De.  6—16  Ye  shall  not  tempt  the 
Lord  your  God,  as  ye  tempted  him 
in  Massah.    Ex.  17.  7,  p.  302. 

Mat.  26-41  Watch  and  pray,  that 
ye  enter  not  into  temptation :  the 
spirit  indeed  is  willing,  but  the 
tiesh  is  weak. 

1  Co.  10—13  There  hath  no  temp- 
tation taken  you  but  such  as  is 
common  to  man :  but  God  is  faith- 
ful, who  will  not  suffer  you  to  be 
tempted  above  that  ye  are  able; 
but  will  with  the  temptation  also 
make  a  way  to  escape,  that  ye 
may  be  able  to  bear  it. 


Ps.  136—1 0  give  thanks  unto  the

3  O  give  thanks  to  the  Lord  of

to  God  and  the  Father  by  him.

Nu.  33— 55  But  if  ye  will  not  driye 
out  the  inhabitants  of  the  land 
from  before  you;  then  it  shall

exalted  above  measure  through 
the  abundance  of  the  revelations, 
there  was  given  to  me  a  thorn  in

Mai-.  5—31  Thou  seest  the  multi- 
tude thronging  thee,  and  sayest 
thou,  who  touched  me?    p.  454. 

Mat.  14—36  And  besought  Jesus 
that  they  might  only  touch  the 
hem  of  his  garment:  and  as  many 
as  touched  were  made  perfectly 
whole. 

2  Co.  6—17  Come  out  from  among 
them,  saith  the  Lord,  and  touch 
not  the  unclean  thing. 

Col.  2— 21  Touch  not;  taste  not; 
handle  not.     

Ex.  21—27  And  if  he  smite  out 
his  manservant's  tooth,  or  his 
maidservant's  tooth ;  he  shall  let 
him  go  free  for  his  tooth's  sake. 

Job  16—9  He  teareth  me  in  his 
wrath,  he  gnasheth  upon  me  with 
his  teeth;  mine  enemy  sharpen- 
eth  his  eyes  upon  me. 

Ps.  58—6  Break  their  teeth,  O 
God,  in  their  mouth:  break  out 
the  great  teeth  of  the  young  lions. 

Pro.  10—26  As  vinegar  to  the 
teeth,  and  as  smoke  to  the  eyes,  so 
is  the  sluggard  to  them  that  send 
him. 

SS.  6—6  Thy  teeth  are  as  a  flock 
of  sheep  which  go  up  from  the 
washing,  whereof  every  one  bear- 
eth  twms,  and  there  is  not  one 
barren  among  them.    p.  173. 

Am.  4—6  And  I  also  nave  given 
you  cleanne,ssof  teeth  in  all  your 
cities,  and  want  of  bread  in  all 
your  places:  yet  have  ye  not  re- 
turned unto  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

Ps.  5—9  For  there  is  no  faithful- 


ness in  their  mouth;  their  throat 
is  an  open  sepulchre;  they  flatter^ 
witli  their  tongue. 

Ko.  3—13  Their  throat  is  an  open 
sepulchre;  with  their  tongues 
they  have  used  deceit;  the  poison

an  abomination  to  my  lips. 

Pro.  12—17  He  that  speaketh 
truth  sheweth  forth  righteous- 
ness: but  a  false  witness  deceit. 

18  There  is  that  speaketh  like 
the  piercings  of  a  sword:  but  the 
tongue  of  the  wise  is  health. 

19  The  lip  of  truth  shall  be  estab- 
lished for  ever:  but  a  lying  tongue 
Ls  but  for  a  moment. 

Pro.  23—23  Buy  the  truth,  and 
sell  it  not;  also  wisdom,  and  in- 
struction, and  understanding. 

Zee.  8—16  Speak  ye  every  man

Jno.  16—13  Howbeit  when  he,  the 
Spirit  of  truth,  is  come,  he  will

Le.  19—16  Thou  shalt  not  go  up 
and  down  as  a  talebearer  among 
thy  people;  neither  shalt  thou 
stand  against  the  blood  of  thy 
neighbour:  I  am  the  Lord. 

Pro.  11—13  A  talebearer  reveal- 
eth  secrets:  but  he  that  is  of  a 
faithful  spirit  concealeth  the  mat- 
ter. 

Pro.  20— 1 9  He  that  goeth  about 
as  a  talebearer  revealeth  secrets: 
therefore  meddle  not  with  him 
that  flattereth  with  his  lips.

Pro.  26—20  Where  no  wood  is, 
there  the  fire  goeth  out :  so  where 
there  is  no  talehearer,  the  strife 
ceaseth. 

22  The  words  of  a  talebearer  are

Ps.  6—6  I  am  weary  with  my 
groaning;  all  the  night  make  I 
my  bed  to  swim ;  I  water  my 
couch  with  my  tears. 

Ps.  56—8  Put  thou  my  tears  into 
thy  bottle:  are  they  not  in  thy 
book? 

Ps.  80—5  Thou  feedest  them  with 
the  bread  of  tears;  and  givest 
them  tears  to  druik  in  great 
measure. 

La.  2—18  Their  heart  cried  unto

Jo.  2—12  Therefore  also  now, 
saith  the  Lord,  turn  ye  even  to 
me  with  all  your  heart,  and  with 
fasting,  and  with  weeping,  and

Ps.  37—38  But  the  transgressors 
shall  be  destroyed  together:  the 
end  of  the  wicked  shall  be  cut  off. 

Ps.  39—8  Deliver  me  from  all  my 
transgressions:  make  me  not  the 
reproach  of  the  foolish. 

Pro.  11—6  The  righteousness  of 
tlie  upright  shall  deliver  them: 
but  transgressors  shall  be  taken 
in  their  own  naughtiness. 

Pro.  13—15  Good  imderstanding 
giveth  favour:  hut  the.\y;ay  of 
transgressors  is  hard.      ,    . - 

Pro.  17—9  He  that  covereth  a 
transgression  seeketh  love;  but 
lie  that  repeateth  a  matter  sepa- 
rateth  very  friends. 

Is.  48—8  For  I  knew  that  thou 


wouldest  deal  very  treacherously' 
and  wast  called  a  transgressor 
from  the  womb.    p.  279. 

Is.  24—16  The  treacherous  deal- 
ers have  dealt  treacherously ;  yea, 
the  treacherousdealershave  dealt 
very  treacherously.   Is.  33. 1,  p.  266. 

Je.  12—6  For  even  thy  bretnren, 
and  the  house  of  thy  father,  even 
they  have  dealt  treacherously 
with  thee;  believe  them  not, 
though  they  speak  fair  words  un- 
to thee. 

Mai.  2—16  Take  heed  to  your 
spirit,  that  ye  deal  not  treacher- 
ously.   

Ps.  50—21  Thou  thoughtest  that 
I  was  altogether  such  a  one  as 
thyself:  but  I  will  reprove  thee. 
Ps.  94.  11,  p.  299. 

Job  21—27  Behold,  I  know  your 
thoughts,  and  devices  which  ye 
wrongfully  imagine  against  me. 
p.  385. 

Is.  55—8  My  thoughts  are  not 
your  thoughts,  neither  are  your 
ways  my  ways,  saith  the  Lord. 

9  For  as  the  heavens  are  higher 
than  the  earth,  so  are  my  ways 
higher  than  your  ways,  and  my 
thoughts  than  your  thoughts. 

Ec.  4—9  Two  are  better  than 
one;  because  they  have  a  good 
reward  for  their  labour. 

10  For  if  they  fall,  the  one  will 
lift  up  his  fellow:  but  woe  to  him 
that  is  alone  when  he  falleth;  for 
he  hath  not  another  to  helphim  up. 

11  Again,  if  two  lie  together, 
then  they  have  heat :  but  how  can 
one  be  warm  alone? 

12  And  if  one  prevail  against 
him,  two  shall  withstand  him; 
and  a  threefold  cord  is  not  quickly 
broken. 

Am.  3—3  Can  two  walk  together, 
except  they  be  agreed? 

Mat.  18—19  Again  I  say.  That  if 
two  of  you  shall  agree  on  earth  as 
touching  any  thing  that  they  shall 
ask,  it  shall  be  done  for  them  of 
my  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

20  For  where  two  or  three  are 
gathered  together  in  my  name, 
there  am  I  in  the  midst  of  them. 
Mat.  24.  40,  41,  p.  488. 


Je.  7—30  The  children  of  Judah 
have  done  evil  in  my  sight,  saith 
the  Lord: 

31  And  they  have  bi^ilt  the  high 
places  of  Tophet,  which  is  in  tlie 
valley  of  the  sou  of  Hinnom,  to 


293 


bum  their  sons  aud  their  daugh- 
ters in  the  tire;  which  I  com- 
manded them  not,  neither  came 
it  into  my  heart. 

32  Therefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  it  shall 
no  more  be  called  Tophet,  nor  The 
valley  of  the  son  of  Hinuom,  but 
The  valley  of  slaughter:  for  they 
shall  bury  in  Tophet,  till  there  be 
no  place. 

33  And  the  carcasses  of  this  peo- 
ple shall  be  meat  for  the  fowls  of 
the  heaven,  and  for  the  beasts  of 
the  earth;  and  none  shall  fray 
them  away. 

34  Then  will  I  cause  to  cease 
from  the  cities  of  Judah,  and  from 
the  streets  of  Jerusalem,  the  voice 
of  mirth,  and  the  voice  of  glad- 
ness, the  voice  of  the  bridegroom, 
aud  the  voice  of  the  bride:  for  the 
land  shall  be  desolate. 


Is.  29—20  For  the  terrible  one  is 
brought  to  nought,  and  the  scorner 
is  consumed,  and  all  that  watch 
for  iniquity  are  cut  off.  Is.  13. 11.

TITHES,  a  tax  collected  from 
the  children  of  Israel  for  the  sup- 
port of  the  Priest  and  the  Levites 
(Priest  and  Levites,  p.  223).  See  the 
following,  and  Ge.  14.  20,  p.  223;

12-15;  1  Sa.  2. 13-17;  2  Ki.  12. 16. 

Ne.  10—32  Also  we  made  ordi- 
nances for  us,  to  charge  ourselves 
yearly  with  the  third  part  of  a 
shekel  for  the  service  of  the  house 
of  our  God. 

37  And  that  we  should  bring  the 
firstfruits  of  our  dough,  and  our 
offerings,  and  the  fruit  of  all  man- 
ner of  trees,  of  wine  aud  of  oil, 
unto  the  priests,  to  the  chambers 
of  the  house  of  our  God ;  and  the 
tithes  of  our  ground  unto  the  Le- 
vites, that  the  same  Levites  might 
have  the  tithes  in  all  the  cities  of 
our  tillage. 

38  And  the  priest  the  son  of  Aa- 
ron shall  be  with  the  Levites, 
wlien  the  Levites  take  tithes:  and 
the  Levites  shall  bring  up  the 
tithe  of  the  tithes  unto  the  house 
of  our  God,  to  the  chambers,  into 
the  treasure  house. 

Mai.  3 10— Bring  ye  all  the  tithes 


in tothe  storehouse,  that  there  may 
be  meat  in  mine  house,  and  prove 
me  now  herewith,  saith  the  Lord, 
if  I  will  not  open  you  the  wm- 
dows  of  heaven,  and  pour  you  out 
a  blessing,  that  there  shall  not  be 
room  enough  to  receive  it.  n.  486. 
Lu.  11—42  Woe  unto  you,  Phari- 
sees! for  ye  tithe  mint  and  me  and 
all  maimer  of  herbs,  and  pass  over 
judgment  and  the  love  of  God: 
these  ought  ye  to  have  done,  and 
not  to  leave  the  other  undone. 

TRIBUTE.    See  also  2  Ki.  3. 4,  p. 
272;  Ro.  13.  6,  7,  p.  146. 

1  Ki.  9— 20  And  all  the  people  that 
were  left  of  the  Amorites,  Hittites, 
Perizzites,  Hivites,  and  Jebusites. 
which  were  not  of  the  children  of 
Israel, 

21  Their  children  that  were  left 
after  them  in  the  land,  whom  the 
chiklren  of  Israel  also  were  not 
able  utterly  to  destroy,  upon 
those  did  Solomon  levy  a  tribute 
of  bondservice  unto  this  day. 

2  Ki.  15—19  And  Pul  the  king  of 
Assyria  came  against  the  land: 
and  Menahem  gave  Pul  a  thou- 
sand talents  of  silver,  that  his 
hand  might  be  with  him  to  con- 
firm the  kingdom  in  liiSkhand. 

20  And  Menahem  exacted  the 
money  of  Israel,  even  of  all  the 
mighty  men  of  wealth,  of  each 
man  lifty  shekels  of  silver,  to  give 
to  the  king  of  Assyria.  So  the 
king  of  Assyria  turned  back,  and 
stayed  not  there  in  the  land. 

2  Ki.18— 13  Now  in  the  fourteenth 
year  of  king  Hezekiah  did  Sen- 
nacherib king  of  Assyria  come  up 
against  all  the  fenced  cities  of 
Judah,  and  took  them. 

14  And  Hezekiah  king  of  Judah 
sent  to  the  king  of  Assyria  to 
Lachish,  saying,  I  have  offended; 
return  from  me:  that  which  thou 
puttest  on  me  will  I  hear.  And 
the  king  of  Assyria  appointed  un- 
to Hezekiah  king  of  Judah  three 
hundred  talents  of  silver  and 
thirty  talents  of  gold. 

15  And  Hezekiah  gare  him  all 
the  silver  that  was  found  in  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the 
treasures  of  the  king's  house. 

10  At  that  time  did  Hezekiah 
cut  off  the  gold  from  the  doors  of 
the  temple  of  the  Lord  and  from 
the  pillars, and  gave  it  tothe  king 
of  Assyria.

2  Clir.  17—11  Some  of  the  Philis- 
tines brought  Jehoshapliat  pres- 
ents, and  tribute  silver;  and  the 
Arabians  brought  liim  Hocks,  sev- 
en thovrsaud  and  seven  hundred 
rams,  and  seven  thousand  and 
seven  hundred  he  goats,    p.  431. 

2  Chr.  27—5  He  fought  also  with 
the  king  of  the  Ammonites,  and 
prevailed  agauistthem.  And  the 
children  of  Amnion  gave  him  the 
same  year  a  hundred  talents  of 
silver,  and  ten  thousand  measures 
of  wheat,  and  ten  thousand  of 
barley.  So  much  did  the  children 
of  Amnion  pay  unto  him,  bothlhe 
second  year,  and  the  third. 

6  So  Jotham  became  mighty, 
because  lie  prepared  liis  ways  be- 
fore the  Lord  his  God. 

Mat.  17— 24  And  when  they  were 
come  to  Capernaum,  they  that  re- 
ceived tribute  money  came  to  Pe- 
ter, and  said.  Doth  not  your  mas- 
ter pay  tribute? 

25  He  saith,  Yes.  And  when  he 
was  come  into  the  house,  Jesus 
prevented  him, .  saying.  What 
thinkest  thou,  Simon?  of  whom 
do  the  kings  of  the  earth  take 
custom  or  tribute?  of  their  own 
children,  or  of  strangers? 

•26  Peter  saith  unto  him,  Of 
.strangers.  Jesus  saith  unto  him. 
Then  are  the  children  free. 

27  Notwithstanding,  lest  we 
should  offend  them,  go  thou  to 
the  sea,  and  cast  a  hook,  and  take 
up  the  tish  that  hist  cometh  up ; 
and  when  thou  has  opened  his 
mouth,  thou  shalt  tiud  a  piece  of 
money;  that  take,  and  give  unto 
them  for  me  and  thee. 

Lu.  20—22  Is  it  lawful  for  us  to 
give  tribute  mito  Cesar,  or  no? 

23  But  Jesus  perceived  their 
craftiness,  and  said  unto  them, 
Why  tempt  ye  me? 

24  Shew  me  a  penny.  Whose 
image  and  subscription  hath  it? 
They  answered  and  said,  Cesar's. 

25  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ren- 
der therefore  unto  Cesar  the 
things  which  be  Cesar's,  and 
unto  God  the  things  which  be 
God's.

Nu.  10—1  And  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Moses,  saying, 

2  Make  thee  two  trumpets  of 
.silver ;  of  a  whole  piece  shalt  thou 
make  them:  that  thou  niayest 
use  them  for  the  calling  of  the  as- 
sembly, and  for  the  jom-neying  of 
the  camps. 

3  And  when  they  shall  blow 
with  them,  all  the  assembly  shall 
assemble  themselves  to  thee  at 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation. 

4  And  if  they  blow  but  with  one 
trumpet,  then  the  princes,  which 
are  heads  of  the  thousands  of  Is- 
rael, shall  gather  themselves  unto 
thee. 

5  When  ye  blow  an  alarm,  then 
the  camps  that  lie  on  the  east 
parts  shall  go  forward. 

6  When  ye  blow  an  alarm  the 
second  time,  then  the  camps 
that  lie  on  the  south  side  shall 
take  theii-  journey:  they  shall 
blow  an  alarm  for  their  journeys. 

7  But  when  the  congregation  is 
to  be  gathered  together,  ye  shall 
blow,  but  ye-  shall  not  sound  an 
alarm. 

8  And  the  sons  of  Aaron,  the 
priests,  shall  blow  with  the  trum- 
pets; and  they  shall  be  to  you  for 
an  ordinance  for  ever  throughout 
your  generations. 

9  And  if  ye  go  to  war  in  your 
land  against  the  enemy  that  op- 
presseth  you,  then  ye  shall  blow 
an  alarm  with  the  trumpets;  and 
ye  shall  be  remembered  befoi-e 
the  Lord  your  God,  and  ye  shall 
be  saved  from  your  enemies. 

10  Also  in  the  day  of  your  glad- 
ness, and  in  your  solemn  days,  and 
in  the  beginnings  of  your  months, 
ye  shall  blow  with  the  trumpets 
over  yom-  bunit  offerings,  and 
over  the  sacrifices  of  your  peace 
offerings;  that  they  may  be  to 
you  for  a  memorial  before  yom' 
God. 

Jos.  6—4  Seven  priests  shall  bear 
before  the  ark  seven  trumpets 
of  rams'  horns:  and  the  priests 
shall  blow  with  the  trampets.  p. 
406. 

Eze.  7—14  They  have  blown  the 
ti-umpet,  even  to  make  all  readv; 
but  none  goeth  to  the  battle:  for 
my  ^^Tath  is  upon  all  the  multitude 
thereof. 

Am.  ;3— 6  Shall  a  trumpet  be 
blown  in  the  city,  and  the  people 
not  be  afraid?

day  of  the  Lord  comoth,  for  it  is

winds,  from  one  end  of  heaven  to

twinkling  of  an  eye,  at  the  last

raised  incorruptible,  aud  we  shall

He.  5—12  For  when  for  the  time 
ye  ought  to  be  teachers,  ye  have 
need  that  one  teach  you  again 
which  be  the  first  principles  of 
the  oracles  of  God ;  aud  are  be- 
come such  as  have  need  of  milk, 
and  not  of  strong  meat. 

13  For  every  one  that  useth  milk 
is  unskilful  in  the  word  of  right- 
eousness: for  he  is  a  babe. 

14  But  strong  meat  belongeth  to 
them  that  are  of  full  age,  even 
those  who  by  reason  of  use  have 
their  senses  exercised  to  discern 
both  good  and  evil. 

2  Pe.  2—1  There  shall  be  false 
teachers  among  you,  who  privily 
shall  bring  in  damnable  heresies, 
even  denying  the  Lord  that 
bought  them,  and  l)ring  upon 
themselves  swift  destruction. 

2  And  many  shall  follow  their 
pernicious  ways;  by  reason  of 
whom  the  way  of  truth  shall  be 
evil  spoken  of. 

Ps.  69—22  Let  their  table  become 
a  snare  before  them:  and  that 
which  should  have  been  for  their 
welfare,  let  it  become  a  trap.

vomit  and  lilthiness,  so  that  there 
is  no  place  clean.    Pro.  9.  2,  p.  309. 

Mai.  1—12  Ye  say.  The  table  of 
the  LoED  is  polluted ;  ^nd  the 
fruit  thereof,  even  his  meat,  is 
contemptible. 

Is.  52—7  How  beautiful  upon  the 
mountains  are  the  feet  of  him 
that  bringeth  good  tidings,  tluxt 
publisheth  peace;  that  bringeth 
good  tidings  of  good,  that  pub- 
lisheth salvation ;  that  saith  vmto 
Zion,  Thy  God  reigneth.    p.  472. 

Na.  1—15  Behold  upon  the  moun- 
tains the  feet  of  him  that  bringeth 
good  tidings,  that  publisheth 
peace !  

Job  18-10  The  snare  is  laid  for 
him  in  the  ground,  and  a  trap  for 
him  in  the  way. 

11  Terrors  shall  make  him  afraid 
on  every  side,  and  shall  drive  him 
to  his  feet.

saw,  he  thanked  God.    p.  529.

tains, and  he  said.  Thine  are  we, 
David,  and  on  thy  side,  thou  son  of 
Jesse:  peace,  peace  be  unto  thee. 
Then  David  received  them,  and 
made  them  captains  of  the  baud.

pare ourselves  with  some  that 
commend  themselves:  but  they, 
measuring  themselves  by  them- 
selves, and  comparing  themselves 
among  themselves,  are  not  wise.

strange  concerning  the  fiery  trial 
which  is  to  try  you,  as  though  some 
strange  thing  happened  unto  you«

UPRIGHT,  UNDERSTANDING. 
UNICORN,  etc. 

Ex.  28—30  And  thou  shalt  put  in 
the  breastplate  of  judgment  the 
Urim  and  the  Thummim;  and 
they  shall  be  upon  Aaron's  heart, 
when  he  goeth  in  before  the 
Lord:  and  Aaron  shall  bear  the 
judgment  of  the  children  of  Is- 
rael upon  his  heart  before  the 
Lord  continually. 

Nu.  27—21  And  he  (Joshua)  shall 
stand  before  Eleazar  the  priest, 
who  shall  ask  counsel  for  him 
after  the  judgment  of  Urim  be- 
fore the  Lord.

of  the  LoRDj  the  Lord  answered 
him  not.  neither  by  dreams,  nor 
by  Urim,  nor  by  prophets,    p.  321. 

Ezr.  2-63  And  the  Tirshatha 
said  unto  them,  that  they  should 
not  eat  of  the  most  holy  things, 
till  there  stood  up  a  priest  with 
Urim  and  with  Thummim. 


2  Sa.  22—26  With  the  merciful 
thou  will  shew  thyself  merciful, 
and  with  the  upright  man  thou 
wilt  shew  thyself  upright. 

Job  8—6  If  thou  wert  pure  and 
upright;  surely  now  lie  would 
awake  for  thee,  and  make  the 
habitation  of  thy  righteousness 
prosperous,    p.  383.

ariseth  light  in  the  darkness:  he* 
IS  gracious,  and  full  of  compas- 
sion, and  righteous,    p.  190. 

Pro.  2—21  For  the  upright  shall 
dwell  in  the  land,  and  the  perfect 
shall  remain  in  it. 

Pro.  11—3  The  integrity  of  the 
upright  shall  guide  them :  but  the 
perverseness  of  transgressors  shall 
destroy  them. 

20  They  that  are  of  a  froward 
heart  are  abomination  to  the 
Lord  :  but  such  as  are  upright  in 
their  way  are  his  delight. 

Pro.  14—2  He  that  walketh  in  his 
uprightness  f  eareth  the  Lord  :  but

Nu.  23—22  God  brought  them  out

strength  of  a  unicorn. 

De.  33-17  His  glory  is  like  the

horns  are  like  the  horns  of  uni- 
corns: with  them  he  shall  push

willing  to  serve  thee,  or  abide  by 
thy  crib? 

10  Canst  thou  bind  the  uniconi 
with  his  band  in  the  furrow?  or 
will  he  harrow  the  valleys  after 
thee? 

11  Wilt  thou  trust  him,  because 
his  strength  is  great?  or  wilt  thou 
leave  thy  labour  to  him? 

Ps.  29—6  He  maketh  them  also

Sirion  like  a  young  unicorn.

De.  22—9  Thou  Shalt  not  sow  thy 
vineyard  with  divers  seeds:  lest 
the  fruit  of  thy  seed  which  thou 
hast  sown,  and  the  fruit  of  thy 
vineyard,  be  defiled. 

De.  23—24  When  thou  comest

then  thou  niayest  eat  grapes  thy 
fill  at  thine  own  pleasure;  but 
thou  Shalt  not  put  any  in  thy

De.  24—21  When  thou  gatherest 
the  grapes  of  thy  vineyard,  thou 
shalt  not  glean  it  afterward:  it 
Shalt  be  for  the  stranger,  for  the

glean  thy  vineyard,  neither  shalt 
thou  gather  every  grape  of  thy

SS.8— 11  Solomon  had  a  vineyard 
at  Baal-hamon ;  he  let  out  the 
vineyard  unto  keepers;  every  one 
for  the  fruit  thereof  was  to  bring 
a  thousand  pieces  of  silver. 

12  My  vineyard,  which  is  mine,  is 
before  me:  thou,  O  Solomon, must 
have  a  thousand,  and  those  that 
keep  the  fruit  thereof  two  hun- 
dred,   p.  174. 

Is.  27—2  In  that  day  sing  ye 
unto  her,  A  vineyard  of  red 
wine. 

3  I  the  Lord  do  keep  it ;  I  will 
water  it  every  moment:  lest  any 
hurt  it,  I  will  keep  it  night  and 
day. 

Is.  16—10  And  gladness  is  taken 
away,  and  joy  out  of  the  plentiful 
field ;  and  in  the  vineyards  there 
shall  be  no  singing,  neither  shall 
there  be  shoutmg:  the  treaders 
shall  tread  out  no  wme  in  their 
presses;  I  have  made  their  vmt- 
age  shouting  to  cease. 

Am.  5—11  Forasmuch  therefore 


as  your  treading  is  upon  the  poor,

hewn  stoue,  but  ye  shall  not  dwell

ant vineyards,  but  ye  shall  not 
drink  wine  of  them.

any  time  at  his  own  charges?  who 
planteth  a  vineyard,  and  eateth 
not  of  the  fruit  thereof?  or  who 
feedeth  a  flock,  and  eateth  not  of

1  Ki.  4—25  And  Judah  and  Israel 
dwelt  safely,  every  man  under 
his  vine  and  under  his  fig  tree, 
from  Dan  even  to  Beer-sheba,  all 
the  days  of  Solomon.

Assyria,  Make  an  agreement  with

from  thence  a  branch  with  one 
cluster  of  grapes,  and  they  bare 
it  between  two  upon  a  staff;  and 
they  brought  of  the  pomegranates, 
and  of  the  tigs. 

24  The  place  was  called  the  brook 
Eshcol,  becau.se  of  the  cluster  of 
grapes  which  the  children  of  Is- 
rael cut  down  from  thence.

gathereth  iniquity  to  itself;  when 
he  goeth  abroad,  he  telleth  it. 

Ps.  94—11  The  Lord  knoweth 
the  thoughts  of  man,  that  they

chasteneth,  O  Lord,  and  teachest

power  over  the  clay,  of  the  same 
lump  to  make  one  vessel  unto 
honour,  and  another  unto  dis-

created  the  heaven  and  the  earth. 

2  And  the  earth  was  without 
form,  and  void ;  and  darkness  was 
upon  the  face  of  the  deep.  And 
the  Spirit  of  God  moved  upon  the 
face  of  the  waters.  Vrs.  6,  7,  8  and

bring  forth  abundantly  the  mov- 
ing creature  that  hath  life,  and 
fowl  that  may  fly  above  the 
earth  in  the  open  firmament  of

and  every  living  creature  that 
moveth,  which  the  watei-s  brought 
forth  abundantly.aftertheii- kind, 
and  every  winged  fowl  after  his;

and  cried,  saying,  If  any  man 
thirst,  let  him.  come  unto  me,  and 
drink. 

38  He  that  believeth  on  me,  as 
the  Scripture  hath  said,  out  of  his 
belly  shall  How  rivers  of  living 
water.  Jno.  4.  11,  p.  455;  Zee.  14.

Ps.  46—4  There  is  a  river,  the 
.streams  M^iereof  shall  make  glad 
the  city  of  God,  the  holy  place  of 
the  tabernacles  of  the  Most  High. 

Ps.  65—9  Thou  visitest  the  earth, 
and  waterest  it :  thou  greatly  en- 
richest  it  with  the  river  of  God, 
which  is  full  of  water. 

Eze.  32—14  Then  will  I  make 
their  waters  deep,  and  cause  theu- 
rivers  to  run  like  oil,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

Is.  41—17  When  the  poor  and 
needy  seek  water,  and  there  is 
none,  and  their  tongue  faileth  for 
thirst,  I  the  Lord  will  hear  them, 
1  will  not  forsake  them. 

18  I  will  open  rivers  in  high 
places,  and  fountains  in  the  midst 
of  the  valleys:  I  will  make  the 
wilderness  a  pool  of  water,  and 
the  dry  land  springs  of  water. 

Ec.  1—7  All  the  rivers  run  into 
the  sea;  yet  the  sea  is  not  full: 
unto  the  place  from  whence  the 
rivers  come,  thither  they  retm-u 
again. 

Is.  48—18  O  that  thou  hadst  bark- 
ened to  my  commandments  I  then 
had  thy  peace  been  as  a  river,  and 
thy  righteousness  as  the  waves  of 
the  sea.  

Ex.  15—8  With  the  blast  of  thv 
nostrils  the  waters  were  gathered 
together,  the  floods  stood  upright, 
and  the  depths  were  congealed  in 
the  heart  of  the  .sea. 

10  Thou  didst  blow  with  thy 
wind,  the  sea  covered  them:  they 
sank  as  lead  in  the  mighty  waters.

Job  38—8  Who  shut  np  the  sea 
with  doors,  wlien  it  brake  forth,  as 
if  it  had  issued  out  of  the  womb? 

11  And  said,  Hitlierto  slialt  thou

Ps.  98—7  Let  the  sea  roar,  and

Ps.  107—23  They  tliat  go  down  to 
the  sea  in  ships,  that  do  business 
in  great  waters ; 

21  These  see  the  works  of  the 
Lord,  and  his  wonders  in  the  deep. 

25  For  he  conunandeth,  and 
raiseth  the  stormy  wind,  which 
lifteth  up  the  waves  thereof. 

26  They  mount  up  to  the  heaven,

tlieir  soul  is  melted  because  of 
trouble. 

27  They  reel  to  and  fro,  and  stag- 
ger like  a  drunken  man,  and  are 
at  their  wit's  end. 

28  Then  they  cry  unto  the  Lord 
in  their  trouble,  and  he  bringeth 
them  out  of  their  distresses. 

29  He  maketh  the  storm  a  calm, 
so  that  the  waves  thereof  are  still. 

30  Then  are  they  glad  because 
they  be  quiet;  so  he  bringeth 
them  unto  their  desired  haven. 

Je.  5—22  Fear  ye  not  me?  saith 
the  Lord:  which  have  placed  the

a  perpetual  decree,  that  it  cannot 
pass  it:  and  though  the  waves 
thereof  toss  themselves,  yet  can 
tliey  not  prevail ;  though  they 
roar,  yet  can  they  not  pass  over  it? 

Je.  49—23  Concerning  Damascus. 
Hamath  is  confounded,  and  Ar-

is  sorrow  on  the  sea ;  it  cannot  be 
quiet,    p.  39.

through  the  sea  with  affliction,

shall  dry  up:  and  tlie  pride  of 
Assyria  shall  be  brought  down,

Jude  1—12  These  are  spots  in  your

winds;  trees  whose  fruit  wither- 
eth,  witliout  fruit,  twice  dead,

Lord  found  Hagar  by  a  fountain 
of  water  in  tlie  wilderness,  by  the 
fountain  in  the  way  to  Shur.

ham his  father ;  for  the  Fhilistines

rolled  the  stone  from  the  well's 
mouth,  and  watered  the  Hock.  p.

Nu.  21—16  And  from  thence  they 
went  to  Beer:  that  is  the  well 
■whereof  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Moses,  Gather  the  people  togeth- 
er, and  I  will  give  tliem  water. 

2  Sa.  23—15  And  David  longed, 
and  said.  Oh  that  one  would  give 
me  drink  of  the  water  of  the  well 
of  Bethlehem,  which  is  by  the 
gate! 

16  And  the  three  mighty  men 
brake  through  the  host  of  the  Phi- 
listines, and  drew  water  out  of 
the  well  of  Beth-lehem,  that  was 
by  the  gate,  and  took  it,  and 
brought  it  to  David :  nevertheless 
be  would  not  drink  thereof,  but 
poured  it  out  unto  the  Lord. 

17  And  he  said.  Be  it  tar  from 
me,  O  Lord,  that  I  should  do  this: 
is  not  this  the  blood  of  the  men 
that  went  in  jeopardy  of  their

By  the  Lord's  command  Moses 
smote  the  rock,  and  water  came 
forth. 

Ex.  17—1  And  all  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  children  of  Israel  jour 
neyed  from  the  wilderness  of  Sin, 
after  thek  journeys,  according  to 
the  commandment  of  tlie  Lord, 
and  pitched  in  Rephidini:  and 
there  was  no  water  for  the  people 
to  druik. 

2  Wherefore  the  people  did 
chide  with  Moses,  and  said,  Give 
us  water  that  we  may  drink.  And 
Moses  said  iinto  them.  Why  chide 
ye  with  me?  Wherefore  do  ye 
tempt  the  Lord  ? 

3  And  the  people  thirsted  there 
for  water;  and  the  people  mur- 
mm-ed  against  Moses,  and  said. 
Wherefore  is  this  that  thou  hast 
brought  us  up  out  of  Egypt,  to 
kill  us  and  our  children  and  ovu' 
cattle  with  thirst? 

4  And  Moses  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  saying.  What  shall  I  do 
unto  this  people?  they  be  almost 
ready  to  stone  me. 

5  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, Go  on  before  the  people,  and 
take  with  thee  of  the  elders  of 
Israel;  and  thy  rod,  wherewith 
thou  smotest  the  river,  take  in 
thine  hand,  and  go. 

6  Behold,  I  will  stand  before  thee 
there  upon  the  rock  in  Horeb ;  and 
thou  shalt  smite  the  rock,  and 
there  shall  come  water  out  'of  it, 
that  the  people  may  drink.  And 
Moses  did  so  in  the  sight  of  the 
elders  of  Israel. 

7  And  he  called  the  name  of  the 
place  Massah,  and  Meribah,  be^ 
cause  of  the  chiding  of  the  chib 
dren  of  Israel,  and  because  they 
tenipted  the  Lord,  saying.  Is  the 
Lord  among  us,  or  not?

gregation, into  the  desert  of  Zin

'i  And  the  people  chode  with 
Moses,  and  spake,  saying,  Would 
(iod  that  we  had  died  when  our 
brethren  died  before  the  Lord  ! 

4  And  why  haA'e  ye  brought  up 
the  congregation  of  the  Lord  into 
this  wilderness,  that  we  and  our 
cattle  should  die  there? 

5  And  wherefore  have  ye  made 
us  to  come  up  out  of  Egypt,  to 
bring  us  in  unto  this  evil  place? 
it  is  no  place  of  seed,  or  of  tigs, 
or  of  vines,  or  of  pomegranates; 
neither  is  there  any  water  to  drink. 

G  And  Moses  and  Aaron  went 
from  the  presence  of  the  assembly 
unto  the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation,  and  they  fell 
upon  their  faces:  and  the  glory 
of  the  Lord  appeared  unto  them. 

7  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Moses,  saying, 

8  Take  the  rod,  and  gather  thou 
the  assembly  together,  thou  and 
Aaron  thy  brother,  and'  speak  ye 
unto  the  rock  before  theu-  eyes; 
and  it  shall  give  forth  his  water, 
and  thou  shalt  bring  forth  to  them 
water  out  of  the  rock:  so  thou 
shalt  give  the  congregation  and 
their  beasts  drink.  Nu.  21. 16,  p.  302. 

9  And  Moses  took  the  rod  from 
before  the  Lord,  as  he  command- 
ed him. 

10  And  Moses  and  Aaron  gath- 
ered the  congregation  together 
before  the  rock,  and  he  said,  Hear 
now,  ye  rebels;  must  we  fetch 
you  water  out  of  this  rock? 

11  And  Moses  lifted  up  his  hand, 
and  with  his  rod  he  smote  the  rock 
twice:  and  the  water  came  out 
abundantly,  and  the  congregation 
drank,  and  their  beasts  also. 

12  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Moses  and  Aaron,  Because  ye  be- 
lieved me  not,  to  sanctify  me  in 
tlie  eyes  of  the  children  of  Israel, 
therefore  ye  shall  not  bring  this 
congregation  into  the  laud  which 
I  have  given  them. 

13  This  is  the  water  of  Meribah ; 
because  the  children  of  Israel 
strove  with  the  Lord,  and  he  was 
sanctified  in  them. 

Elisha  healed  the  waters. 

2  Ki.  2—19  And  the  men  of  the 
city  said  unto  Elisha,  Behold,  1 
praj'  thee,  the  situation  of  this 
city  is  pleasant,  as  my  lord  seeth: 


but  the  water  is  naught,  and  the 
ground  barren. 

20  And  he  said.  Bring  me  a  new 
cruse,  and  put  salt  therein.  And 
they  brought  it  to  him. 

21  And  he  went  forth  unto  the 
spring  of  the  waters,  and  cast  the 
salt  in  there,  and  said.  Thus  saith 
tlie  Lord,  I  have  healed  these 
waters;  there  shall  not  be  from 
thence  any  more  death  or  barren 
land, 

22  So  the  waters  were  healed 
unto  this  day.  according  to  the 
saying  of  Elisha  which  he  spake. 

Ezekiel's  vision  of  the  Holy 
waters.  , 

Eze.47— 1  Afterward  he  brought 
me  again  unto  the  door  of  the 
house ;  and,  behold,  waters  issued 
out  from  under  the  threshold 
of  the  liouse  eastward:  for  the 
forefront  of  the  house  stood  to- 
ward the  east,  and  the  waters 
came  down  from  under,  from  the 
right  side  of  the  house,  at  the 
south  side  of  the  altar. 

2  Theu  brought  he  me  out  of  the 
way  of  the  gate  northward,  and 
led  me  about  the  way  without 
unto  the  outer  gate  by  the  M^ay 
that  looketh  eastward;  and,  be^ 
hold,  there  ran  out  waters  on  the 
right  side. 

3  And  when  the  man  that  had 
the  line  in  his  hand  went  forth 
eastward, he  measured  a  thousand 
cubits,  and  he  brought  me  through 
the  waters ;  the  waters  were  to  the 
ankles. 

i  Agaiuhemeasured  athousand, 
and  brought  me  through  the 
waters;  the  waters  M'ere  to  the 
knees.  Again  he  measured  a  thou- 
sand, and  brought  me  through; 
the  waters  were  to  the  loins. 

5  Afterward  he  measured  a 
thousand ;  and  it  was  a  river  that 
1  could  not  pass  over:  for  the 
waters  were  risen,  waters  to  swim 
in,  a  river  that  could  not  be  passed 
over. 

G  H  And  he  said  imto  me,  Son  of 
man,  hast  thou  seen  this?  Then 
he  brouglit  me,  and  caused  me  to 
return  to  the  brink  of  the  river. 

7  Now  when  1  had  returned,  be- 
hold, at  the  bank  of  the  river  were 
very  many  trees  on  the  one  side 
and  on  the  other. 

8  Then  said  he  unto  me.  These 
waters  issue  out  toward  the  east

country,  and  go  down  into  the 
desert,  and  go  into  the  sea :  which 
being  brouglit  forth  into  the  sea, 
the  waters  shall  be  healed. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
every  thing  that  livetli,  which 
moveth,  whithersoever  the  rivers 
shall  come,  shall  live:  and  there 
shall  be  a  very  great  multitude 
of  fish,  because  these  waters  shall 
come  thither:  for  they  shall  be 
healed ;  and  every  thing  shall 
live  whither  the  river  cometh. 

10  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
the  fishers  shall  stand  upon  it  from 
En-gedi  even  unto  En-eglaim ; 
they  shall  be  a  place  to  spread 
forth  nets ;  their  fish  shall  be  ac- 
cording to  their  kinds,  as  the  fish 
of  the  great  sea,  exceeding  many. 

11  But  the  miry  places  and  the 
marshes  thereof  shall  not  be 
healed;  they  shall  be  given  to 
salt. 

12  And  by  the  river  upon  the 
bank  thereof,  on  this  side  and  on 
that  side,  shall  grow  all  trees  for 
meat,  whose  leaf  shall  not  fade, 
neither  shall  the  fruit  thereof  be 
consumed:  it  shall  bring  forth 
new  fruit  according  to  his  months, 
because  their  waters  they  issued 
out  of  the  sanctuai-y :  and  the  fruit 
thereof  shall  be  for  meat,  and  the 
leaf  thereof  for  medicine. 

Christ  turneth  Water  into  Wine, 
his  first  miracle;  water  turned  in-

Jno.  2—1  And  the  third  day  there 
was  a  marriage  in  Cana  of  Galilee ; 
and  the  mother  of  Jesus  was  there : 

2  And  both  Jesus  was  called,  and 
his  disciples,  to  the  mamage. 

3  And  when  they  wanted  wine, 
the  mother  of  Jesus  saith  iinto 
him.  They  have  no  wine. 

4  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Woman, 
what  have  1  to  do  with  thee?  mine 
hour  is  not  yet  come. 

5  His  mother  saith  unto  the  serv- 
ants. Whatsoever  he  saith  unto 
you,  do  it. 

6  And  there  were  set  there  six 
waterpots  of  stone,  after  the  man- 
ner of  the  purifying  of  the  Jews, 
containing  two  or  three  firkins 
apiece. 

7  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Fill  the 
waterpots  with  water.  And  they 
filled  them  up  to  the  brim. 

8  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Draw 
out  now,  and  bear  unto  the  gov- 


ernor of  the  feast.    And  they  bare 
it. 

9  When  the  ruler  of  the  feast  had 
tasted  the  water  that  was  made 
wine,  and  knew  not  whence  it  was, 
(but  the  servants  which  drew  the 
water  knew,)  the  governor  of  the 
feast  called  the  bridegroom, 

10  And  saith  unto  him.  Every 
man  at  the  beginning  doth  set 
forth  good  wine ;  and  when  men 
have  well  drunk,  then  that  which

the  Lord  your  God. 

2  Thou  art  a  holy  people  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  the  Lord 
hath  chosen  thee  to  be  a  peculiar 
people  unto  himself,  above  all  the 
nations  that  are  upon  the  earth. 

22  Thou  shalt  truly  tithe  all  the 
increase  of  thy  seed,  that  the  field 
bringeth  forth  year  by  year. 

23  And  thou  shalt  eat  before  the 
Lord  thy  God,  in  the  place  which 
he  shall  choose  to  place  his  name

there,  the  titiie  of  thy  com,  of 
thy  wine,  and  of  thine  oil,  and  the 
tirstlings  of  thy  herds  and  of  thy 
tiocks;  tliat  thou  mayest  learn  to 
fear  the  Lord  thy  God  always. 

24  And  if  the  way  be  too  long 
for  thee,  so  that  thou  art  not  able 
to  carry  it;  or  if  the  place  be  too 
far  from  thee,  which  the  Lord  thy 
(-rod  shall  choose  to  set  his  name 
there,  when  the  Lord  thy  God 
liath  blessed  thee: 

25  Then  shalt  thou  turn  it  into 
money,  and  bind  up  the  money  in 
thine  hand,  and  shalt  go  unto  the 
place  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
shall  choose: 

26  And  thou  shalt  bestow  that 
money  for  whatsoever  thy  soul 
lustetn  after,  for  oxen,  or  for 
sheep,  or  for  wine,  or  for  strong 
drink,  or  for  whatsoever  thy  soul 
desireth :  and  thou  shalt  eat  there 
before  the  Lord  thy  God,  and 
thou  shalt  rejoice,  thou,  and  thine 
household, 

27  And  the  Levite  that  is  with- 
in thy  gates;  thou  shalt  not  for- 
sake him:  for  he  hath  no  part  nor 
inheritance  with  thee. 

28  At  the  end  of  three  years 
thou  shalt  bring  forth  all  the  tithe 
of  thine  Increase  the  same  year, 
and  shalt  lay  it  up  within  thy 
gates: 

29  And  the  Levite,  (because  he 
hath  no  part  nor  inheritaaice  with 
t  hee,)  and  the  stranger,  the  father- 
less, and  the  widow,  which  are 
within  thy  gates,  shall  come,  and 
shall  eat  and  be  satisfied;  that 
the  Lord  thy  God  may  bless  thee 
in  all  the  work  of  thine  hand. 


Ge.  27—28  Therefore  God  give 
thee  of  the  dew  of  heaven,  and 
the  fatness  of  the  earth,  and  plen- 
ty of  corn  and  wine.    p.  340. 

Le.  10—8  And  the  Lord  spake 
vmto  Aaron,  saying, 

9  Do  not  drink  wine  nor  strong 
drink,  thou,  nor  thy  sons  with 
thee,  when  ye  go  into  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation,  lest  ye 
die:  it  shall  be  a  statute  for  ever 
throughout  your  generations. 

De.  32—32  For  their  vine  is  of 
the  vine  of  Sodom,  and  of  the 
fields  of  Gomorrah:  their  grapes 
are  grapes  of  gall,  their  clusters 
are  bitter: 

33  Their  wine  is  the  poison  of 
dragons,  and  the  cruel  venom  of 
asps. 

Ju.9— 13  Thevine  said  unto  them , 


Should  1  leave  my  wine,  which 
cheereth  God  and  man,  and  go  to 
be  promoted  over  the  trees? 

Est.  1—7  And  they  gave  them 
drink  in  vessels  of  gold,  (the  ves- 
sels being  diverse  one  from  an- 
other,) and  royal  wine  in  abund- 
ance, according  to  the  state  of  the 
king. 

8  And  the  drinking  was  accord- 
ing to  the  law;  none  did  compel: 
for  so  the  king  had  appointed  to 
all  the  otticers  of  his  house,  that 
they  should  do  according  to  every 
man's  pleasure,    p.  378. 

Fs.  CO— 3  Thou  hast  shewed  thy 
people  hard  things:  thou  hast 
made  v;s  to  drink  the  wine  of  as- 
tonishment. 

Ps.  75—8  For  in  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  there  is  a  cup,  and  the  wine 
is  red;  it  is  full  of  mixture;  and 
he  poureth  out  of  the  same :  but 
the  dregs  thereof,  all  the  wicked 
of  the  earth  shall  wring  them  out, 
and  drink  them, 

Ps.  104—15  And  wine  that  mak- 
eth  glad  the  lieart  of  man,  and  oil 
to  make  his  face  to  shine,  and 
bread  which  strengtheneth  man's 
heart. 

Pro.  4—17  For  they  eat  the  bread 
of  wickedness,  and  drink  the 
wine  of  violence. 

Pro.  20—1  Wine  is  a  mocker, 
strong  drink  is  raging:  and  who- 
soever is  deceived  thereby  is  not 
wise. 

Pro.  23—20  Be  not  among  wine- 
bibbers;  among  riotous  eaters  of 
flesh : 

21  For  the  drunkard  and  the 
glutton  shall  come  to  poverty: 
and  drowsiness  shall  clothe  a  man 
with  rags. 

29  Who  hath  woe?  who  hath 
sorrow?  who  hath  contentions? 
who  hath  babbling?  who  hath 
wounds  without  cause?  who  liath 
redness  of  eyes? 

30  They  that  tarry  long  at  the 
wine ;  they  that  go  to  seek  mixed 
wine. 

31  Look  not  thou  upon  the  wine 
when  it  is  red,  when  it  giveth  his 
colour  in  the  cup,  when  it  moveth 
itself  aright. 

32  At  the  last  it  biteth  like  a  ser- 
pent, and  stingeth  like  an  adder. 

Pro.  31—1  The  words  of  king 
Lemuel,  the  prophecy  that  his 
mother  taught  him. 

2  What,  my  son?  and  what,  the 
son  of  my  womb?  and  what,  the 
son  of  my  vows?

3  Give  not  thy  strength  unto 
women,  nor  thy  ways  to  that 
which  desti-oyeth  kings. 

i  It  is  not  for  kings,  O  Lemuel, 
it  is  not  for  kings  to  drink  wine ; 
not  for  princes  strong  drink: 

5  Lest  they  drink,  and  forget  the 
law,  and  pervert  the  judgment  of 
anv  of  the  afflicted. 

6  (Jive  strong  drink  unto  him 
that  is  ready  to  perish,  and  wine 
unto  those  that  be  of  heavy 
hearts. 

7  Let  him  drink,  and  forget  his 
poverty,  and  remember  his  misery 
no  more. 

Ec.  9—7  Go  thy  way,  eat  thy 
bread  with  joy,  and  drink  thy 
wine  with  a  meiTy  heart ;  for  God 
now  accepteth  thy  works. 

Ec.  10—19  A  feast  is  made  for 
laughter.and  wineniaketh  merry : 
bvTt  money  answereth  all  thiugs. 

Is.  5—11  vVue  unto  tliem  that  rise 
up  early  in  the  morning,  that  they 
may  follow  strong  drink;  that 
continue  until  night,  till  wine 
inflame  them! 

12  And  the  harp  and  the  viol, 
the  tabret  and  pipe,  and  wine,  are 
in  their  feasts:  but  they  regard 
not  the  work  of  the  Lord,  neither 
consider  the  operation  of  hishands. 

22  Woe  unto  them  that  are 
mighty  to  drink  wine,  and  men 
of  strength  to  mingle  strong 
drink. 

Is.24— 7  The  new  wine  mourneth, 
the  vine  languisheth,  all  the 
merryhearted  do  sigh. 

8  The  mirth  of  tabrets  ceaseth, 
the  noise  of  them  that  rejoice 
endeth,  the  joy  of  the  harp  ceas- 
eth. 

9  They  shall  not  drink  wine  with 
a  song:"  strong  drink  shall  be  bit- 
ter to  them  that  drink  it. 

10  The  city  of  confusion  is  bro- 
ken down:  eveiT  house  is  shut 
up,  that  no  man  may  come  in. 

11  There  is  a  crying  for  wine  in 
the  streets;  all  ioy  is  darkened, 
the  mirth  of  the  land  is  gone. 

12  In  the  city  is  left  desolation, 
and  the  gate  is  smitten  with  de- 
struction. 

Is.  28—1  Woe  to  the  crown  of 
pride,  to  the  drunkards  of  Eph- 
raim,  Avhose  glorious  beauty  is  a 
fading  flower,  which  are  on  the 
head  of  the  fat  valleys  of  them 
that  are  overcome  with  wine! 

3  The  crown  of  pride,  the  drunk- 
ards of  Ephraim,  shall  be  trodden 
under  feet. 


Is.28— 7  They  have  erred  through 
wine,  and  through  strong  drink 
are  out  of  the  way ;  the  priest  and 
the  prophet  have  erred  through 
strong  druik,  they  are  swallowed 
up  of  wine,  they  are  out  of  the 
way  tlii-ough  strong  drink;  they 
err  in  vision,  they  stumble  in 
judgment. 

Is.  29—9  They  are  drunken,  but 
not  with  wine ;  they  stagger,  but 
not  with  strong  drink. 

Is.  62—8  The  Lord  hath  sworn 
by  his  right  hand,  and  by  the  arm 
of  his  strength,  I  will  no  more 
give  thy  com  tobe  meat  for  thine 
enemies ;  and  the  sous  of  the  stran- 
ger shall  not  drink  thy  wine,  for 
the  which  thou  hast  laboured: 

9  But  they  that  have  gathered  it 
shall  eat  it,  and  praise  the  Li>rd; 
and  they  that  have  brought  it  to- 
gether shall  drink  it  in  the  courts 
of  mv  holiness. 

Je.  13—12  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  Every  bottle  shall 
be  filled  with  wine:  and  they 
shall  say  luito  thee.  Do  we  not 
certauily  know  that  every  bottle 
shall  be  tilled  with  wine? 

13  Then  shalt  thou  say  unto 
them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold,! will  fill  all  the  inhabitants 
of  this  land,  even  the  kings  that 
sit  upon  David's  throne,  and  the 
priests,  and  the  prophets,  and  all 
thehihabitantsoi  Jerusalem.with 
drunkenness. 

14  And  I  will  dash  them  one 
agaiii.st  another,  even  the  fathers 
and  the  sons  together,  saith  the 
Lord:  I  will  not  pity,  nor  spare, 
nor  have  mercy,  but  destroy  them. 

Jo.  1—5  Awake,  ye  drunkards, 
and  weep;  and  howl,  all  ye  drink- 
ers of  wine,  because  of  the  new 
wine:  for  it  is  cut  off  from  youi- 
mouth. 

Jo.  2—24  And  the  floors  shall  be

The  Rechabites,  a  people  wlio 
drunk  no  wiue. 

Je.  35—1  The  word  wliich  came 
unto  Jeremiah  from  the  Lord,  m 
the  days  of  Jehoiakim  the  son  of 
Josiah  king  of  Judah,  saying, 

2  Go  unto  the  house  of  the  Re- 
chabites.and  speak  imtotheiu,  aud 


bring  them  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  into  one  of  the  chambers, 
aud  give  them  wine  to  drink. 

4  Aud  I  brought  them  iuto  the 
house  of  the  Lord,  iuto  the  cham- 
ber of  the  sous  of  Hauan: 

5  Aud  I  set  before  the  sons  of 
tlie  house  of  the  Rechabites  pots 
full  of  wine,  and  cups;  and  I  said 
unto  them,  Drink  ye  wine. 

6  But  they  said.  We  will  drink 
no  wiue:  fur  Jonadab  the  son  of 
Recliab  our  father  commanded  us, 
saying.  Ye  shall  drink  no  wiue, 
neither  ye,  nor  your  sons  forever: 

7  Neither  shall  ye  build  house, 
nor  sow  seed,  nor  plant  vineyard, 
nor  have  any :  but  all  your  days  ye 
shall  dwell  in  tents;  that  ye  may 
live  many  days  in  the  land  where 
ye  be  strangers. 

8  Thvis  have  we  obeyed  the  voice 
of  Jonadab  our  father  in  all  that 
he  hath  charged  us,  to  drink  no 
wine  all  our  days,  we,  our  wives, 
our  sons,  nor  our  daugliters ; 

9  Nor  to  build  houses  for  us  to 
dwell  in;  neither  have  we  vine- 
yard, nor  field,  nor  seed : 

10  But  we  have  dwelt  in  tents, 
aud  have  obeyed,  aud  done  accord- 
ing to  all  that  Jonadab  our  father 
commanded  us. 

18  And  Jeremiah  said  unto  the 
Rechabites,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ; 
Because  ye  liave  obeyed  the  com- 
mandment of  Jonadab  your  fa- 
ther, and  kept  all  his  precepts ;

appear  unto  Solomon,  and  said. 
Ask  what  1  shall  give  thee. 

8  And  Solomon  said  unto  God, 
Thou  hast  shewed  great  mercy 
unto  David  my  father,  and  hast 
made  me  to  reign  in  his  stead. 

9  Now,  O  Lord  God,  let  thy

me  king  over  a  people  like  the 
dust  of  tire  earth  in  multitude. 

10  Give  me  now  wisdom  and 
knowledge,  that  I  may  go  out  and 
come  in  before  this  people:  for 
who  can  judge  this  thy  people, 
that  is  so  great? 

U  And  God  said  to  Solomon,  Be- 
cause this  was  in  thine  heart,  and 
thou  hast  not  asked  riches,wealth, 
or  honour,  nor  the  life  of  thine 
enemies,  neither  yet  hast  asked 
long  life;  hut  hast  asked  wisdom 
and  knowledge  for  thyself,  that 
thou  mayest  judge  my  people, 
over  whom  I  have  made  thee 
king: 

12  Wisdom  and  knowledge  is 
granted  unto  thee ;  and  I  will  give 
thee  riches,  and  wealth,  and  hon- 
our, such  as  none  of  the  kings 
have  had  that  have  been  before 
thee,  neither  shall  there  any  after 
thee  have  the  like. 

2  Chr.  9-22  And  king  Solomon 
passed  all  the  kings  of  the  earth 
in  riches  and  wisdom. 

23  And  all  the  kings  of  the 
earth  sought  the  presence  of  Solo- 
mon, to  hear  Ins  wisdom,  that 
God  had  put  in  his  heart. 

24  And  they  brought  every  man 
his  present,  ves.sels  of  silver,  and 
vessels  of  gold,  and  raiment,  har- 
ness, and  spices,  hor.ses,  and 
mules,  a  rate  year  by  year. 

Ec.  1—12  I  the  Preacher  was 
king  over  Israel  in  Jerusalem. 

13  And  I  gave  my  heart  to  seek 
and  search  out  by  wisdom  con- 
cerning all  things  that  are  done 
under  heaven:  this  sore  travail 
hath  God  given  to  the  sons  of  man 
to  be  exercised  therewith. 

l-t  I  have  seen  all  the  works  that 
are  done  under  the  sun;  and,  be- 
hold, all  is  vanity  and  vexation 
of  spirit. 

15  That  which  is  crooked  cannot 
be  made  straight :  and  that  which 
is  wanting  cannot  be  nuinbered. 

16  I  communed  with  mine  own 
heart,  saying,  Lo,  I  am  come  to 
great  estate, and  have  gotten  more 
wisdom  than  all  they  that  have 
been  before  me  in  Jenisalem;  yea, 
my  heart  had  great  experience  of 
wisdom  and  knowledge. 

17  And  I  gave  my  heart  to  know 
wisdom,  and  to  know  madness 
and  folly:  I  perceived  that  this 
also  is  vexation  of  .spirit. 

18  For  in  much  wisdom  is  much 
gi-ief:  and  he  that  increaseth 
knowledge  increaseth  sorrow. 


Job  12—1  And  Job  answered  and 
said, 

2  No  doubt  but  ye  are  the  peo- 
ple, and  wisdom  shall  die  with 
you. 

12  With  the  ancient  is  wisdom ; 
and  in  length  of  days  understand- 
ing,   p.  384. 

Job  28—12  But  where  shall  wis- 
dom be  found?  and  where  is  the 
place  of  understanding? 

13  Man  knoweth  not  the  price 
thereof;  neither  is  it  found  in  the 
land  of  the  living. 

14  The  depth  saith.  It  is  not  in 
me:  and  the  sea  saith,  It  is  not 
with  me. 

15  It  cannot  be  gotten  for  gold, 
neither  shall  silver  be  weighecl 
for  the  price  thereof. 

16  It  cannot  be  valued  with  the 
gold  of  Ophir,  with  the  precious 
onyx,  or  the  sapphire. 

17  The  gold  and  the  crystal  can- 
not equal  it:  and  the  exchange  of 
it  shall  not  be  for  jewels  of  fine 
gold. 

18  No  mention  shall  be  made  of 
coral,  or  of  pearls:  for  the  price 
of  wisdom  is  above  rubies. 

19  The  topaz  of  Ethiopia  shall 
not  equal  it,  neither  shall  it  be 
valued  with  pure  gold. 

20  Whence  then  cometh  wis- 
dom? and  where  is  the  place  of 
understanding? 

28  And  unto  man  he  said.  Be- 
hold, the  fear  of  the  Lord,  that  is 
wisdom ;  and  to  depart  from  evil 
is  understandmg. 

Ps.  36—3  The  words  of  his  mouth 
are  iniquity  and  deceit:  he  hath 
left  off  to  be  wise,  and  to  do 
good. 

Ps.  90—12  So  teach  us  to  number

hearts  unto  wisdom.

Pro.  3—7  Be  not  wise  in  thine 
own  eyes :  fear  the  Lokd,  and  de- 
part from  evil. 

13  IF  Happy  is  the  man  that  find- 
eth  wisdom,  and  the  man  that 
getteth  understanding: 

14  For  the  merchandise  of  it  is 
better  than  the  merchandise  of 
silver,  and  the  gain  thereof  than 
fine  gold. 

15  She  is  more  precious  than  ru- 
bies: and  all  the  things  thou  can.st

7  Wisdom  is  the  principal  thing; 
therefore  get  wisdom :  and  with  all 
thy  getting  get  understanding. 

Pro.  8—11  For  wisdom  is  better

seven  pillars: 

2  She  hath  killed  her  beasts;  she 
hath  mmgled  her  wine;  she  hath 
also  furnished  her  table,    p.  103. 

12  If  thou  be  wise,  thou  shall  be 
wise  for  thyself:  but  if  thou 
scornest,  thou  alone  shalt  bear  it. 

Pro.  14—24  The  crown  of  the  wise

of  fools  is  folly.

it  to  get  wisdom  than  gohl !  and  to 
get  understanding  rather  to  be 
chosen  than  silver! 

20  He  that  handleth  a  matter 
wisely  shall  find  good:  and  whoso 
trusteth  in  the  Lord,  happy  is  he. 

21  The  wise  in  heart  shall  be 
called  prudent :  and  the  sweetness 
of  the  lips  increaseth  learning.

Ec.  7—11  Wisdom  is  good  with 
an  inheritance:  and  by  it  there  is 
profit  to  them  that  see  the  sun. 

12  For  wisdom  is  a  defence,  and 
money  is  a  defence :  but  the  excel- 
lency of  knowledge  iss.that  wisdom 
giveth  life  to  them  that  have  it. 

23  All  this  have  I  proved  by  wis- 
dom: I  said,  1  will  be  wise;  but  it 
was  far  from  me. 

Ec.  9—17  The  words  of  wise  men 


are  heard  in  quiet  more  than  tlie 
cry  of  him  that  ruleth  among 
fools,    p.  195. 

Ec.  12—11  The  words  of  the  wise 
are  as  goads,  and  as  nails  fastened 
by  the  masters  of  assemblies, 
which  are  given  from  one  shep- 
herd. 

Ls.  47—10  For  thou  hast  trusted

None  seeth  nie.  Thy  wisdom  and

thee ;  and  thou  hast  said  in  thine 
heart,  I  am,  and  none  else  besides 
me. 

Je.  4—22  They  are  wise  to  do 
evil,  but  to  do  good  they  have  no

Eze.  28—3  Behold,  thou  art  wiser 
than  Daniel;  there  is  no  secret 
that  they  can  hide  from  thee: 

4  With  thy  wisdom  and  with 
thine  understanding  thou  hast 
gotten  thee  riches,  and  hast  got- 
ten gold  and  silver  into  thy  treas- 
ures:

1  Co.  2—6  Howbeit  we  speak  wis- 
dom among  them  that  are  perfect: 
yet  not  the  wisdom  of  this  world, 
nor  of  the  princes  of  this  world, 
that  come  to  nought: 

7  But  we  speak  the  wisdom  of 
God  in  a  mystery,  even  the  hidden 
wisdom,  whicli  (4od  ordained  be- 
fore the  world  unto  our  glory ; 

8  Which  none  of  the  princes  of 
this  world  knew:  for  had  they 
known  it,  they  would  not  have 
crucified  the  Lord  of  glory. 

1  Co.  3—18  Let  no  man  deceive 
himself,  li  any  man  among  you 
seemeth  to  be  wise  in  this  world, 
let  him  become  a  fool,  that  he 
may  be  wise. 

19  For  the  wisdom  of  this  world 
is  foolishness  Mith  God :  for  it  is 
written.  He  taketh  the  wise  in 
their  own  craftiness.  Job  5. 13,  p. 
54.

let  him  ask  of  God,  that  giveth 
to  all  men  liberally,  and  upbraid- 
eth  not;  and  it  shall  be  given 
him. 

6  But  let  him  ask  in  faith,  noth- 
ing wavering:  for  he  that  waver- 
eth  is  like  a  wave  of  the  sea 
driven  with  the  wind  and  tossed. 

7  For  let  not  that  man  think 
that  he  shall  receive  any  thing  of 
the  Lord.    p.  199. 

J  a.  3—13  Who  is  a  wise  man  and 
endued  with  knowledge  among 
you?  let  him  shew  out  of  a  good 
conversation  his  works  with  meek- 
ness of  wisdom. 

14  But  if  ye  have  bitter  envying 
and  strife  in  your  hearts,  glory 
not,  and  lie  not  against  the  trutli. 

15  This  wisdom  descendeth  not 
from  above,  but  is  earthly,  sen- 
sual, devilish. 

16  For  where  envying  and  strife 
is,  thei'e  is  confusion  and  every 
evil  work. 

17  But  the  wisdom  that  is  from 
above  is  first  pure,  then  peaceable, 
gentle,  and  easy  to  be  entreated, 
Jul  1  of  mercy  and  good  fruits.with- 
out  partiality,  and  without  hypoc- 
ri.sy. 

Re.  13—18  Here  is  wisdom.  Let 
him  that  hath  understanding 
count  tlie  number  of  the  beast:

his  number  is  8ix  hundred  three- 
score and  six.    p.  63.

and  in  your  soul,  and  bind  them

•Job  21—7  Wherefore  do  the  wick- 
ed live,  become  old,  yea.  are 
mightv  in  power? 

8  Their  seed  is  established  in 
their  sight  with  them,  and  theu' 
offspring  before  their  eyes. 

9  Their  houses  are  safe  from 
fear,  neither  is  the  rod  of  God 
upon  them. 

loTlieir  bull  gendereth,and  fail- 
eth  not:  their  cow  calveth,  and 
casteth  not  her  calf. 

11  They  send  forth  their  little 
ones  like  a  flock,  and  their  chil- 
dren dance. 

12  They  take  the  timbrel  and 


harp,  and  rejoice  at  the  sound  of 
the  organ. 

13  Ihey  spend  their  days  in 
wealth,  and  in  a  moment  go  down 
to  the  grave. 

30  The  wicked  is  reserved  to 
the  day  of  destruction : 

Ps.  73—3  For  I  was  envious  at 
the  foolish,  when  I  saw  the  pros- 
peritv  of  the  wicked. 

5  They  are  not  in  trouble  as  other 
men;  neither  are  they  plagued 
like  other  men. 

7  Their  eves  stand  out  with  fat- 
ness: they  have  more  than  heart 
could  wish. 

8  They  are  corrupt,  and  speak 
wickedlv  concerning  oppression: 

9  Thev  set  then-  mouth  against 
the  heavens,  and  their  tongue 
walketh  through  the  earth. 

10  Therefore  his  people  return 
hither:  and  waters  of  a  full  cup 
are  wrung  out  to  them. 

11  And  they  say.  How  doth  God 
know?  and  is  there  knowledge  iu 
the  Most  High? 

12  Behold,  these  are  the  ungodly, 
who  prosper  in  the  world;  they 
increase  in  riches. 

Pro.  28—1  The  wicked  nee  when 
no  man  pursueth:  but  the  right- 
eous are  hold  as  a  lion. 

Job  20 — 1  Knowest  thou  not  this 
of  old,  since  man  was  placed  upon 
earth?    p.  385. 

5  That  the  triumphing  of  the 
wicked  is  short,  and  the  joy  of  the 
hypocrite  but  for  a  moment? 

28  The  increase  of  his  house  shall 
depart,  and  his  goods  shall  flow 
awav  in  the  day  of  his  wrath. 

29  This  is  the 'portion  of  a  wick- 
ed man  from  God,  and  the  heri- 
tage appointed  unto  him  by  God. 

Is.  55—7  Let  the  wicked  forsake 
his  wav,  and  the  unrighteous  his 
thoughts:  and  let  him  return  imto 
the  Lord,  and  he  will  have  mercy 
upon  him. 

1  Sa.  24—13  As  saith  the  proverb 
of  the  ancients,  Wickedness  pro- 
ceedeth  from  the  wicked. 

Ps.  10—2  The  wicked  in  his  pride 
doth  persecitte  the  poor:  let  them 
be  taken  in  the  devices  that  they 
have  imagined. 

3  For  the  wicked  boasteth  of  his 
heart's  desire,  and  bles.seth  the 
covetous,  whom  the  Lord  abhor- 
reth. 

4  The  wicked,  through  pride, 
will  not  seek  after  God :  God  is 
iwt  in  his  thotights.

Ps.37— 21  The  wicked  borroweth,

3.5  I  have  seen  the  wicked  in 
great  power,  and  spreading  him-

Ps.  .58—3  The  wicked  are  es- 
tranged from  the  womb:  they  go

Ps.  64—2  Hide  me  from  the  se-

3  Who  wliet  their  tongue  like  a 
sword, and  bend  their  bowstoshoot 
iheir  arrows,  even  bitter  words. 

Ps.  91—3  Lord,  how  long  shall 
the  wicked,  how  long  shall  the 
wicked  triumph?    See  Ps.  50.  IG. 

Pro.  2—22  The  wicked  shall  be 
cut  off  from  the  earth,  and  the' 
tran.sgressors  rooted  out  of  it. 

Pro.  11—5  The  righteousness  of 
the  perfect  shall  direct  his  way: 
but  the  wicked  shall  fall  by  his 
own  wickedness. 

Pro.  12—5  The  thoughts  of  the 
righteous  are  right :  hut  the  coun- 
sels of  the  wicked  are  deceit. 

10  A  righteous  man  regardeth 
the  life  of  his  beast:  but  the 
tender  mercies  of  the  wicked  are 
cruel. 

Pro.  14— .32  The  wicked  is  driven 
away  in  his  wickedness:  but  the 
righteous  hath  hope  in  his  death. 

Pro.  15—26  The  thoughts  of  the 
wicked  are  an  abomuiation  to  the 
Lord  :  but  the  words  of  the  pure 
are  pleasant  words. 

Pro.  17—4  A  wicked  doer  giveth 
heed  to  false  lips;  and  a  liar  giv- 
eth ear  to  a  naughty  tongue. 

15  He  that  justifieth  the  wicked,

Pro.  21—7  The  robbery  of  the 
wicked  shall  destroy  them ;  l)e- 
eause  they  refuse  to  do  judgment. 

Pro.  24—10  Fret  not  thyself  be- 
cause of  evil  men,  neither  be  thou 
envious  at  the  wicked ; 

20  For  there  shall  be  no  reward 
to  the  evil  man :  the  candle  of  the 
wicked  .shall  be  put  out. 


Pro.  24—24  He  that  saith  unto  the 
wicked.  Thou  art  righteous:  him 
shall  the  people  curse,  nations 
shall  abhor  him. 

Is.  3—11  Woe  unto  the  wicked! 
it  shall  be  ill  with  him:  for  the 
reward  of  his  hands  shall  be  giv- 
en him. 

Ls.  26—10  Let  favour  be  shewed 
to  the  wicked,  yet  will  he  not 
learn  righteousness. 

Is.  48—22  There  is  no  peace,  saith 
the  Lord,  unto  the  wicked. 

Is.  57 — 20  But  the  wicked  are  like 
the  troubled  sea,  when  it  cannot 
rest,  whose  waters  cast  up  mire 
and  dirt. 

21  There  is  no  peace,  saith  my 
God,  to  the  wicked.

slidings  shall  reprove  thee.

Eze.  33—1  Agaui  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  speak  to  the  chil- 
dren of  thy  people,  and  say  unto 
them.  When  1  bring  the  sword 
upon  a  land,  if  the  people  of  the 
laud  take  a  man  of  their  coasts, 
and  .set  him  for  their  watchman: 

3  If  when  he  seeth  the  sword 
come  upon  the  land,  he  blow  the 
trumpet,  and  warn  the  people : 

4  Then  whosoever  heareth  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet,  and  taketh 
not  warning:  if  the  sword  come, 
and  take  him  away,  his  blood 
.shall  be  upon  his  own  head. 

5  He  heard  the  sound  of  the 
trumpet,  and  took  not  warning; 
his  blood  shall  be  upon  him.  But 
he  that  taketh  warning  .shall  de- 
liver his  soul. 

0  But  if  the  watchman  .see  the 
sword  come,  and  blow  not  the 
trumpet,  and  the  people  be  not 
warned;  if  the  sword  come,  and 
take  any  person  from  among 
them,  he  is  taken  away  in  his  in- 
iquity ;  but  his  blood  will  I  require 
at  the  watchman's  hand. 

7  ^  So  thou,  O  son  of  man,  I 
have  set  thee  a  watchman  unto 
the  house  of  Israel :  therefore  thou 
shalt  hear  the  word  at  my  mouth, 
and  wani  them  from  me.

8  \Yhen  I  say  unto  the  wicked, 

0  wicked  man,  thou  shalt  surely 
die:  if  thou  dost  not  speak  to 
warn  the  wicked  from  his  way, 
that  wicked  man  shall  die  in  his 
iniquity ;  hut  his  blood  will  I  re- 
quire at  thine  hand. 

9  Nevertheless,  if  thou  warn  the 
wicked  of  his  way  to  turn  from  it ; 
if  he  do  not  turn  from  his  way,  he 
shall  die  in  his  iniquity ;  but  thou 
hast  delivered  thy  soul. 

11  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 

1  have  no  pleasure  in  the  death  of 
the  wicked:  but  that  the  wicked 
tuni  from  his  way  and  live:  turn 
ve,  turn  ye  from  your  evil  ways: 
for  why  will  ye  die,  O  house  of 
Israel? 

12  Therefore,  thou  son  of  man, 
sav  luito  the  children  of  thy  peo- 
ple, The  righteousness  of  the 
righteous  shall  not  deliver  him  in 
the  day  of  his  transgression:  as 
for  the  wickedness  of  the  wicked, 
he  shall  not  fall  thereby  in  the 
day  that  he  turueth  from  liis 
wickedness;  neither  .shall  the 
righteous  be  able  to  live  for  his 
righteousness  in  the  day  that  he 
sinueth. 

13  When  I  shall  say  to  the  right- 
eous, that  he  shall  surely  live:  if 
he  trust  to  his  own  righteousness, 
and  commit  iniquity,  all  his  right- 
eousness shall  not  be  rememijer- 
ed;  but  for  his  iniquity  that  he 
hath  committed,  he  shall  die. 

11  Again,  when  I  .say  unto  the 
wicked.  Thou  shalt  sxirely  die;  if 
he  turn  from  his  sin,  and  do  that 
which  is  laM-f ul  and  right ; 

15  If  the  wicked  restore  the 
pledge,  give  again  that  he  had 
robbed,  walk  in  the  statutes  of 
life, without  committing  iniquity ; 
he  shall  sui'ely  live,  he  shall  not 
die. 

16  None  of  his  sins  that  he  hath 
oommitted  shall  be  mentioned 
unto  him:  he  hath  done  that 
which  is  lawful  and  right;  he 
shall  surely  live. 

18  When  the  righteous  tumeth 
from  his  righteousness,  and  com- 
mitteth  iniqviity,  he  shall  even 
die  thereby. 

19  But  if  the  wicked  turn  from 
his  wickedness,  and  do  that  which 
is  lawful  and  right,  he  shall  live 
thereby. 

1  Th.  5— fi  Therefore  let  us  not 
sleep,  as  do  others;  but  let  us 
watch  and  be  sober.

ing to  slumber.

which  can  never  have  enough.

36  Lest  coming  suddenly  be  find

Is.  .59-^3  Their  webs  shall  not

and  the  world  knew  him  not.  p. 
458. 

Jno.  3—16  For  God  so  loved  the 
world,  that  he  gave  his  only  be- 
gotten Son,  that  whosoever  be- 
lieveth  in  him  should  not  perish, 
but  have  everlasting  life. 

17  For  God  sent  not  his  Son  into 
the  world  to  condemn  the  world; 
but  that  the  world  tlu'ough  him 
might  be  saved. 

Jno.  l&— 18  If  the  world  hate  you, 
ye  know  that  it  hated  me  before 
It  hated  you. 

19  If  ye  were  of  the  world,  the 
world  would  love  his  own;  but 
because  ye  are  not  of  the  world, 
but  I  have  chosen  you  out  of  the 
world,  therefore  the  world  hateth 
you. 

Jno.  16—33  These  things  1  have 
spoken  unto  you,  that  m  me  ye 
might  have  peace.  In  the  world 
ye  shall  have  tribulation:  but  be 
of  good  cheer;  I  have  overcome 
the  world. 

Ac.  17—6  These  that  have  turned 
the  world  upside  down  are  come 
hither  also. 

Ro.  12—2  And  be  not  conformed 
to  this  world:  but  be  ye  trans- 
formed by  the  renewing  of  yom- 
mind,  that  ye  may  prove  what  is 
that  good,  and  acceptable,  and 
perfect  will  of  God. 

1  Ti.  6—7  For  we  brought  nothing 
into  this  world,  and  it  is  certain 
we  can  carry  nothing  out. 

8  And  having  fond  and  raiment, 
let  us  be  therewith  content. 

Ja.  4 — 4  Know  ye  not  that  the 
friendship  of  the  world  is  enmity 
with  (tou?  whosoever  thereffivc 
will  be  a  friend  of  the  world  is  the 
enemy  of  God. 

1  Jno.  2—15  Love  not  the  world, 
neither  the  things  that  are  in  the 
world.  If  any  man  love  the  world, 
the  love  of  the  Father  is  not  in 
liim. 

16  For  all  that  is  in  the  world, 
the  lust  of  the  tiesh,  and  the  lust 
of  the  eye.s,  and  the  pride  of  life, 
is  not  of  the  Father,  but  is  of  the 
world. 


17  And  the  world  passeth  away, 
and  the  lust  thereof:  but  he  that 
doetli  the  will  of  God  abideth  for 
ever. 

1  Jno.  5—4  For  whatsoever  is  born 
of  God  overcometh  the  world :  and 
this  is  the  victory  that  overcom- 
eth the  world,  even  our  faith. 

1  Co.  7—31  And  they  that  use  this 
world,  as  not  abusing  it:  for  the 
fashion  of  thisworld  passeth  away,

Job  .37—9  Out  of  the  south  Com- 
eth the  whirlwind:  and  cold  out 
of  the  north. 

22  Fair  weather  cometh  out  of 
the  north:  with  God  is  terrible 
majesty. 

Ps.  18—10  And  he  rode  upon  a 
cherub,  and  did  Hy :  yea,  he  did 
riy  uixm  the  wings  of  the  wind. 

11  He  made  darkness  his  secret 
place;  his  pavilion  round  about 
him  were  dark  waters  and  thick 
clouds  of  the  skies. 

Pro.  i,")— 23  The  north  wind  driv- 
eth  away  rain:  .so  doth  an  angry 
countenance  a  backbiting  tongue. 

Ec.  1—6  The  wind  goeth  toward 
the  south,  and  tunieth  about  unto 
the  north ;  it  whirleth  about  con- 
tinually, and  the  wind  returneth 
again  according  to  his  circuits. 

Ec.  11— t  He  that  obscrveth  the 
wind  shall  not  .sow ;  and  he  that  re- 
gardetb  the  clouds  sliall  not  reap. 

Da.  7—2  And,  behold,  the  four 
winds  of  the  heaven  strove  upon 
the  great  .sea.    p.  393. 

Ho.  8—7  For  they  have  sown  the 
wind,  and  they  shall  reap  the 
whirlwind.

Mat.  16—2  Jesus  answered  and 
said  unto  them.  When  it  is  even- 
ing, ye  say.  It  will  he  fair  weather : 
for  the  sky  is  red. 
'  3  And  in  the  morning,  It  will  be 
foul  weather  to  day :  for  the  sky  is 
red  and  lowering.  O  ye  hypo- 
crites, ye  can  discern  the  face  of 
the  sky;  but  can  ye  not  discern 
the  signs  of  the  times? 

Lu.  12—54  And  Jesus  said  also  to 
the  people.  When  ye  see  a  cloud 
rise  out  of  the  west,  straightway 
ye  say.  There  cometh  a  shower; 
and  so  it  is. 

55  And  when  ye  see  the  south 
wind  blow,  ye  say.  There  will  be 
heat :  and  it  cometh  to  pass. 

56  Ye  hypocrites,  ye  can  discern 
the  face  of  the  sky  and  of  the 
earth;  but  how  is  it  that  ye  do 
not  discern  this  time? 


Is.  5—18  Woe  unto  them  that 
draw  iniquity  with  cords  of  van- 
ity, and  sm  as  it  were  with  a  cart 
rope. 

21  Woe  imto  them  that  are  wise 
in  their  own  eyes,  and  prudent  in 
their  own  sight! 

Je.  45—3  Woe  is  me  now!  for  the 
Lord  hath  added  grief  to  my  sor- 
row. 

Hab.  2—6  Shall  not  all  these 
take  up  a  parable  against  him, 
and  a  taunting  proverb  against 
him,  and  say.  Woe  to  him  that  in- 
creaseth  that  which  is  not  his ! 

Lu.  6—24  But  woe  unto  you  that 
are  rich!  for  ye  have  received 
your  consolation. 

25  Woe  unto  you  that  are  full! 
for  ye  shall  hunger.  Woe  luito 
you  that  laugh  now !  for  ye  shall 
mourn  and  weep. 

26  Woe  unto  you,  when  all  men 
shall  speak  well  of  you !  for  so  did 
their  fathers  to  the  false  prophets. 

Re.  9—12  One  woe  is  past ;  and 
behold,  there  come  two  woes  more 
hereafter,    p.  119. 

Re.  11—14  The  second  woe  is 
past;  and,  behold,  the  third  woe 
cometh  quickly,    p.  .532. 

Re.  12—12  Woe  to  the  inhabiters 
of  the  earth  and  of  the  sea!  for 
the  devil  is  come  down  unto  you. 
p.  62.  

Le.  19—13  Thou  Shalt  not  defraud 
thy  neighbour,  neither  rob  him : 
the  wages  of  him  that  is  hired 
shall  not  abide  with  thee  all 
night  until  the  morning. 


De.  24—14  Thou  shalt  not  op- 
press a  hired  servant  that  is  poor 
and  needy,  whether  he  be  of  thy 
brethren,  or  of  thy  strangers  that 
are  in  thy  land  within  thy  gates: 

15  At  his  day  thou  shalt  give 
him  his  hire,  neither  shall  the 
sun  go  down  upon  it;  for  he  is 
poor,  and  settetli  his  heart  upon 
it:  lest  he  cry  against  thee  unto 
the  Lord,  and  it  be  sin  unto  thee. 

Lu.  .3—14  And  the  soldiers  like- 
wise demanded  of  John  the  Bap- 
tist, saying.  And  what  shall  we 
do?  And  he  said  unto  them.  Do 
violence  to  no  man,  neither  ac- 
cuse any  falsely;  and  be  content 
with  your  wages.

Eze.  13—10  %  Because  they  have 
seduced  my  people,  saying,  Feace ; 
and  there  was  no  peace ;  and  one 
bnilt  up  a  wall,  and,  lo,  others 
daubed  it  with  imtempered  mor- 
tar: 

11  Say  unto  them  which  daub  it 
with  mitempered  mortar,  that  it 
shall  fall:  there  shall  beauover- 
tiowiug  shower;  and  ye,  O  great 
hailstones,  shall  fall ;  and  astormy 
wind  shall  rend  it. 

12  Lo,  when  the  wall  is  fallen, 
shall  it  not  be  said  unto  you. 
Where  is  the  daubing  wherewith 
ye  have  daubed  it? 

13  Therefore  thussaith  the  Lord 
God:  I  will  even  rend  it  with  a 
stormy  wind  in  my  fury ;  and  there 
f<hall  be  au  overdowuig  shower  in 
mine  anger,  and  great  hailstones 
in  my  fui-y  to  consume  it. 

U  So  will  1  break  down  the  wall 
that  ye  have  daubed  with  mitem- 
pered mortar,  and  bring  it  down 
to  the  ground,  so  that  the  founda- 
tion thereof  shall  be  discovered, 
and  it  shall  fall,  and  ye  shall  be 
consumed  in  the  midst  thereuf: 
and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord. 

15  Thus  will  I  accomplish  my 
wrath  upon  the  wall,  and  uixin 
them  that  have  daubed  it  with 
untempered  nun-tar,  and  will  say 
luito  you.  The  wall  is  no  more, 
neither  they  that  daubed  it : 

10  To  wit,  the  prophets  of  Israel 
which  prophecy  concerning  Jeru- 
salem, and  wliich  see  visions  of 
peace  for  her,  and  there  is  no 
peace,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

Eze.  8—7  And  lie  brought  me  to 
the  door  of  the  court ;  and  when  I 
looked,  behold  a  hole  in  the  wall. 

8  Then  said  he  unto  me,  Son  of 
man,  dig  now  in  the  wall:  and 
when  I  had  digged  in  the  wall, 
behold  a  door. 

9  And  he  said  unto  me.  Go  in, 
and  behold  the  wicked  abomina- 
tions that  they  do  here. 

10  So  I  went  in  and  saw:  and 
behold  every  form  of  creeping 
things,  and  abominable  beasts, 
and  all  the  idols  of  the  house  or 
Israel,  portrayed  upon  the  wall 
round  aoout. 

1  Sa.  25—23  So  and  more  also  do 
God  imto  the  enemies  of  David,  if 
I  leave  of  all  that  pertain  to  Na- 
bal  by  the  morning  light  any  that 
pisseth  against  the  wall.

.shot  from  off  the  wall  upon  thy 
servants;  and  some  of  the  king's 
servants  be  dead,  and  thy  servant 
Uriah  the  Hittite  is  dead  also,

Jos.  2—15  Then  Rahab  let  them 
down  by  a  cord  through  the  win- 
dow :  tvr  her  house  was  upon  the 
town  wall,  and  she  dwelt  upon 
the  wall.    p.  406. 

Jo.  2—7  They  shall  run  like 
mighty  men ;  they  .shall  climb  the 
wall  like  men  ot  war:  and  they 
shall  march  everyone  on  his  ways, 
and  they  shall  not  break  their 
ranks. 

1  Co.  2—3  And  I  was  with  yott  in 
weakness,  and  in  fear,  and  in 
much  trembling. 

1  Co.  11—30  For  this  cause  many 
are  weak  and  sickly  among  you, 
and  many  .sleep,    p.  45. 

2  Co.  11—29  Who  is  weak,  and  I 
am  not  M'eak?  who  is  offended, 
and  I  bum  not? 


Is.  51—22  Behold,  I  have  taken 
out  of  thine  hand  the  cup  of 
trembling,  even  the  dregs  of  the 
cup  of  my  fury;  thou  shalt  uo 
more  drink  it  agaui: 

23  But  I  will  put  it  into  the  hand 
of  them  that  afflict  thee:  which 
have  said  to  thy  soul.  Bow  down, 
that  we  may  go  over:  and  thou 
hast  laid  thy  body  as  the  ground, 
and  as  the  street,  to  them  that 
went  over. 

De.  .5— .33  Ye  shall  walk  in  all  the 
ways  which  the  Lord  your  God 
hath  commanded  you,  that  ye 
may  live,  and  that  it  maybe  well 
with  you,  and  that  ye  may  pro- 
long your  days  in  the  land  which 
ye  shall  possess. 

Je.  7—24  But  they  hearkened 
not,  nor  inclined  their  ear,  but 
walked  in  the  counsels  and  in  the 
imagination  of  their  evil  heart, 
and  went  backward,  and  not  for- 
ward. 

Eze.  37—24  And  David  my  ser- 
vant shall  be  king  over  them ;  and 
they  all  shall  have  one  shepherd: 
they  shall  also  walk  in  my  judg- 
ments, and  observe  my  statutes, 
and  do  them. 

Ro.  13—13  Let  us  walk  honestly,

minds  by  way  of  remembrance. 


De.  2&— 18  Lest  there  should  be 
among  you  a  root  that  beareth 
gall  and  wormwood. 

Je.  8—14  For  the  Lord  our  God 
hath  put  us  to  silence,  and  given 
us  water  of  gall  to  drink. 

Je.  9—15  Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Is- 
rael :  Behold, Iwillfeedthem,even 
this  people,  with  wormwood,  and 
give  them  water  of  gall  to  drink.

La.  3—15  He  hath  filled  me  with 
bitterness,  he  hatli  made  me 
druukeii  with  wormwood. 

19  Remembei-ing  miue  affliction 
and  my  misery,  the  wormwood 
and  the  gall. 

Le.  19—35  Ye  shall  do  no  unright- 
eousness in  judgment,  in  mete- 
yard,  in  weight,  or  in  measure. 

36  Just  balances,  just  weights,  a 
just  ephah,  and  a  just  hin,  shall 
ye  have. 

De.  25—13  Thou  Shalt  not  have 
in  thy  bag  divers  weights,  a  great 
and  a  .small : 

14  Thou  Shalt  not  have  in  thine 
house  divers  measures,  a  great 
and  a  .small: 

15  But  thou  Shalt  have  a  perfect 
and  just  weight,  a  perfect  and  just 
measure  shaTt  thou  have :  that  thy 
days  may  be  lengthened  in  the 
land  which  the  Lord  thy  God 
giveth  thee. 

16  For  all  that  do  such  things, 
and  all  that  do  unrighteously,  are 
au  abomination  unto  the  Lord 
thy  God. 

Pro.  16—11  A  just  weight  and 
balance  are  the  Lord's:  all  the 
weights  of  the  bag  are  his  work. 

Mar.  4—24  Take  heed  what  ye 
hear.  With  what  measure  ye 
mete,  it  shall  be  measured  to  you  ■ 
and  unto  you  that  hear  shall 
more  be  given. 

25  For  he  that  hath,  to  him  shall 
be  given;  and  he  that  hath  not, 
from  him  shall  be  taken  even 
that  which  he  hath. 

Lu.  6—38  Give,  and  it  shall  be 
given  imto  you;  good  measure, 
pressed  down,  and  shaken  togeth- 
er, and  running  over,  shall  men 
give  into  your  bosom.  For  with 
the  same  measure  that  ye  mete 
withal  it  shall  be  measured  to 
you  again. 

Re.  6—6  And  I  heard  a  voice  in 
the  midst  of  the  four  beasts  say, 
A  measure  of  wheat  for  a  penny, 
and  three  measures  of  barley  for 
a  penny;  and  see  thou  hurt  not 
the  oil  and  the  wine.    p.  530. 


Ps.  17—8  Keep  me  as  the  apple 
of  the  eye;  hide  me  under  the 
shadow  of  thy  wings. 

Ps.  36— 7  How  excellent  is  thy 
losing  kindness,  O  God !  therefore 
the  children  of  men  put  their  trust 
under  the  shadow  of  thy  wings. 


Ps.  63—7  Because  thou  hast  been 
my  help,  therefore  in  the  shadow 
of  thy  wings  will  I  rejoice. 

Ps.  91—4  He  shall  cover  thee 
with  his  feathers,  and  imder  his 
wings  shalt  thou  trust:  his  truth 
shall  be  thy  shield  and  buckler. 

De.  32—11  Au  eagle  stiixeth  up 
her  nest,tluttereth  over  her  yomig, 
spreadeth  abroad  her  wings,  tak- 
eth  them,  beareth  them  on  her 
wings. 

Mat.  23—37  How  often  would  1 
have  gathered  thy  children  to- 
gether, even  as  a  hen  gathereth 
her  chickens  under  her  wings, 
and  ye  would  not:    p.  511. 


Ex.  21—25  Burning  for  burning, 
wound  tor  wound,  stripe  for  stripe. 

Ps.  18—38  I  have  wounded  them 
that  they  were  not  able  to  rise: 
they  are  fallen  under  my  feet. 

39  For  thou  hast  girded  me  with 
strength  unto  the  battle:  thou 
hast  subdued  under  me  those  that 
rose  up  against  me. 

Pro.  20—30  The  blueness  of  a 
wound  cleanseth  away  evil:  so  do 
■stripes  the  inward  parts  of  the 
belly. 

Pro.  27—6  Faithful  are  the 
wounds  of  a  friend ;  but  the  kiss- 
es of  an  enemy  are  deceitful. 

Je.  15—18  Why  is  my  pain  per- 
petual, and  my  wound  incurable, 
which  refusethto  be  healed?  wilt 
thou  be  altogether  unto  me  as  a 
liar,  and  as  waters  that  fail? 

Je.  30—12  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Thy  bruise  is  incurable, 
aud  thy  woixnd  is  grievous. 

13  There  is  none  to  plead  thy 
cause,  that  thou  mayest  be  bound 
u_p:  thou  hast  no  healing  medi- 
cines. 

Na.  3—19  There  is  no  healing  of 
thv  bruise;  thy  wound  is  griev- 
ous: all  that  hear  the  bruit  of 
thee  shall  clap  the  hands  over 
thee :  for  upon  whom  hath  not  thy 
wickedness  passed  continually? 


Ps.  30—5  Weeping  may  endure 
for  a  night,  but  joy  cometh  in  the 
morning.    See  l  Co.  7.  30,  p.  207. 

Ps.  126—5  They  that  sow  in  tears 
shall  reap  in  joy. 

6  He  that  goeth  forth  and  weep- 
eth,  bearing  precious  seed,  shatl 
doubtless  come  again  with  rejoic- 
ing, bringing  his  sheaves  with 
him.

Ps.  102—9  For  I  have  eaten  ashes 
like  bread,  and  mingled  my  drink 
with  weeping. 

Je.  9— to  For  the  mountains  will 
I  take  up  a  weeping  and  wailing, 
and  for  the  habitations  of  the 
wilderness  a  lamentation. 

Je.  22—10  Weep  ye  not  for  the 
dead,  neither  bemoan  him;  but 
weep  sore  for  him  that  goeth 
away:  for  he  shall  return  no  more, 
nor  see  his  native  country. 

La.  1—2  She  weepeth  sore  in  the 
night,  and  her  tears  are  on  her 
cheeks:  among  all  her  lovers  she 
hath  none  to  comfort  her:  all 
her  friends  have  dealt  treacher- 
ously with  her,  they  are  become 
her  enemies. 

Eze.  8—14  Then  he  brought  me 
to  the  door  of  the  gate  of  the 
Lord's  house  which  was  toward 
the  north;  and,  behold,  there  sat 
women  weeping  for  Tammuz. 

Mat.  24—51  And  appoint  him  his 
portion  with  the  hypocrites:  there 
shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of 
teeth,    p.  488. 

Mat.  25—30  And  cast  ye  the  un- 
profitable servant  into outer  dark- 
ness: there  shall  be  weeping  and 
gnashing  of  teeth,    p.  447. 

Lu.  23—28  But  Jesus  said.  Daugh- 
ters of  Jerusalem,  weep  not  for 
me,  but  weep  for  yourselves,  and 
for  youi-  children,    p.  517. 

Jno.  11— a5  Jesus  wept.    p.  457. 

Jno.  16—20 1  say  unto  you.  That 
ye  shall  weep  and  lament,  but 
the  world  shall  rejoice ;  and  ye 
shall  be  sorrowful,  but  your  sor- 
row shall  be  turned  into  joy. 

Ro.  12—15  Rejoice  with  them 
that  do  rejoice,  and  weep  with 
them  that  weep.

1  Sa.28— 3  Now  Samuel  was  dead. 


and  all  Israel  had  lamented  him, 
and  buried  him  in  Ramah,  even 
in  his  i>wn  city.  And  Saul  had 
put  away  those  that  had  familiar 
spirits,  and  the  wizards,  out  of 
the  laud. 

4  And  the  Philistines  gathered 
themselves  together,  and  came 
and  pitched  in  Shunem:  and  Saul 
gathered  all  Israel  together,  and 
they  pitched  in  Gilboa. 

5  And  when  Saul  saw  the  host  of 
the  Philistines,  he  was  afraid,  and 
his  heart  greatly  trembled. 

6  And  when  Saul  inquii-ed  of  the 
Lord,  the  Lord  answered  him 
not,  neither  by  dreams,  nor  by 
Urim,  nor  by  prophets. 

7  Then  said  Saul  unto  his  serv- 
ants. Seek  me  a  woman  that  hath 
a  familiar  spirit,  that  1  may  go  to 
her,  and  inquire  of  her.  And  his 
servants  said  to  him,  Behold.there 
is  a  woman  that  hath  a  familiar 
spirit  at  En-dor. 

8  And  Saul  disguised  himself, 
and  put  on  other  raiment,  and  he 
went,  and  two  men  with  him,  and 
they  came  to  the  woman  by  night : 
and  he  said,  I  pray  thee,  divine 
unto  me  by  the  familiar  spirit, 
and  bring  me  him  up,  whom  I 
shall  name  unto  thee. 

9  And  the  woman  said  unto  him. 
Behold,  thou  knowest  what  Saul 
hath  done,  how  he  hath  cut  off 
those  that  have  familiar  spirits, 
and  the  wizards,  out  of  the  land: 
wherefore  then  layest  thou  a 
snare  for  my  life,  to  cause  me  to 
die? 

10  And  Saul  sware  to  her  by  the 
Lord,  saying.  As  the  Lord  liveth, 
there  shall  no  pimishment  happen 
to  thee  for  this  thing. 

11  Then  said  the  woman.  Whom 
shall  I  bring  up  unto  thee?  And 
he  said.  Bring  me  up  Samuel. 

12  And  when  the  woman  saw 
Samuel,  she  cried  with  a  loud 
voice:  and  the  woman  spake  to 
Saul,  saying.  Why  hast  thou  de- 
ceived me?  for  thou  art  Saul. 

13  And  tiie  kijig  said  unto  her. 
Be  not  afraid:  for  what  sawest 
thou?  And  the  woman  said  unto 
Saiil,  I  saw  gods  ascending  out  of 
the  earth. 

.  14  And  he  said  unto  her,  What 
form  is  he  of?  And  she  said.  An 
old  man  cometh  up;  and  he  is 
covered  with  a  mantle.  And  Saul 
perceived  that  it  was  Samuel,  and 
he  stooped  with  his  face  to  the 
ground,  and  bowed  himself.

15  t  And  Samuel  said  to  Saul,  | 
Why  hast  thou  disquieted  me,  to 
liniig-  me  uy?  Aud  8aul  answered, 
I  am  sore  distressed :  for  tlie  Phil- 
istines make  war  against  me,  aud 
God  is  departed  from  me,  aud  au- 
swereth  me  no  mure,  neither  by 
prophets,  nor  by  dreams:  therefore 
I  have  called  thee,  that  thou  may- 
est  make  known  unto  me  what  I 
shall  do.  ,^, 

16  Then  said  Samuel,  Wherefore 
then  dost  thou  ask  of  me,  seeing 
the  Lord  is  departed  from  thee, 
and  is  become  tiiine  enemy? 

17  And  the  Lokd  hath  done  to 
him,  as  he  spake  by  me:  for  the 
Lord  hath  rent  the  kingdom  out 
of  thine  hand,  and  given  it  to  thy 
neighbour,  even  to  David : 

18  Because  thou  obeyedst  not 
the  voice  of  the  Lord,  nor  execu- 
tedst  his  fierce  wrath  upon  Ama- 
lek,  therefore  hath  the  Lord  done 
this  thing  mito  thee  this  dav. 

19  Moreover  the  Lord  will  also 
deliver  Israel  with  thee  into  the 
hand  of  the  Philistines:  and  to 
morrow  shalt  thou  and  thy  sons  be 
with  me:  the  Lord  also  shall  de- 
liver the  host  of  Israel  into  the 
hand  of  the  Philistines. 

20  Then  Saul  fell  straightway 
all  along  on  the  earth,  and  was 
sore  afraid,  because  of  the  words 
of  Samuel:  and  there  was  no 
strength  in  him ;  for  he  had  eaten 
no  bread  all  the  day,  nor  all  the 
night. 

21  And  the  woman  came  unto 
Saul,  and  saw  that  he  was  sore 
troubled,  and  said  unto  him.  Be- 
hold, thinehandmaidhath  obeyed 
thy  voice,  and  I  have  put  my  life 
in  my  hand,  and  have  hearkened 
unto  thy  words  which  thou 
spakest  unto  me. 

22  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
hearken  thou  also  unto  the  voice 
of  thine  handmaid,  and  let  me 
set  a  morsel  of  bread  before  thee ; 
and  eat  that  thou  mayest  have 
strength,  when  thou  goest  on  thy 

23  But  he  refused,  and  said,  I 
will  not  eat.  But  his  servants,  to- 
gether with  the  woman,  com- 
pelled him :  and  he  hearkened  un- 
to their  voice.  So  he  rose  from  the 
earth,  aaid  sat  upon  the  bed. 

24  And  the  woman  had  a  fat  calf 
in  the  house ;  and  she  hasted,  and 
killed  it,  and  took  Hour,  and 
kneaded  it,  and  did  bake  un- 
leavened bread  thereof: 


2.5  And  she  brought  it  before 
Saul,  and  before  his  servants:  and 
they  did  eat.  Then  they  ruse  up, 
and  went  away  that  night.  See 
1  Sa.  31,  p.  -121,  42:;. 


Ac.  8—9  There  was  a  certain 
man,  called  Simon,  which  before- 
time  in  the  same  city  used  sorcery, 
and  bewitched  the  people  of  Sa- 
maria, giving  out  that  himself 
was  some  great  one : 

10  To  whom  they  all  gave  heed, 
from  the  least  to  the  greatest,  say- 
ing. This  man  is  the  great  power 
of  God. 

11  And  to  him  they  had  regard, 
because  that  of  long  time  he  had 
bewitched  them  with  sorceries. 

12  But  whenthey believed  Philip 
preaching  the  things  concerning 
the  kingdom  of  God,  and  the  name 
of  Jesus  Christ,  they  were  baptiz- 
ed, both  men  and  women. 

13  Then  Simon  himself  believed 
also:  and  when  he  was  baptized, 
he  continued  with  Philip,  and 
wondered ,  beholding  the  miracles 
and  signs  w'hich  were  done. 

18  And  when  Simon  saw  that 
through  laying  on  of  the  apostles' 
hands  the  Holy  Ghost  was  given, 
he  offered  them  money, 

19  Saying,  Give  me  also  this 
power,  that  on  whomsoever  I  lay 
hands,  he  may  receive  the  Holy 
Ghost.  .      _,, 

20  But  Peter  said  unto  him.  Thy 
money  perish  with  thee,  because 
thou  hast  thought  that  the  gift 
of  God  may  be  purchased  with 
money. 

21  Thou  hast  neither  part  nor 
lot  in  this  matter:  for  thy  heart 
is  not  right  in  the  sight  of  God. 

22  Repent  therefore  of  this  thy 
wickedness,  and  pray  God,  if  per- 
haps the  thought  of  thine  heart 
may  be  forgiven  thee. 

23  For  I  perceive  that  thou  art 
in  the  gall  of  bitterness,  and  in 
the  bond  of  iniquity. 

24  Then  answered  Simon,  and 
said,  Prav  ve  to  the  Lord  for  me, 
that  none  of  these  things  which 
ye  have  spoken  come  up<:m  me. 

2  Ki.  23—24  Moreover  the  work- 
ers with  familiar  spirits,  and  the 
wizards,  and  the  images,  and  the 
idols,  and  all  the  abominations 
that  were  spied  in  the  land  of 
Judah  and  in  Jerusalem,  did 
Josiah  put  away.

Ex.  22—18  Thou  Shalt  not  suffer 
a  witch  to  live. 

Le.  19—26  Ye  shall  not  eat  any 
thing  with  the  blood:  neither 
shall  ye  use  enchantment,  nor

31  Regard  not  them  that  have 
familiar  spirits, neither  seek  after

whoring  after  them,  I  will  even

27  A  man  also  or  woman  that

ed his  children  to  pass  through

witchcraft,  and  dealt  with  a  fa- 
miliar spirit,  and  with  wizards: 
he  wrought  much  evil  in  the

to  anger. 

Is.  8—19  And  when  they  shall

cators,  stand  up,  and  save  thee.

Eze.  21— 21  For  the  king  of  Baby- 
lon stood  at  the  parting  of  the 
way,  at  the  head  of  the  two  ways, 
to  use  divination:  he  made  his 
arrows  bright,  he  consulted  with 
images,  he  looked  in  the  liver. 

22  At  his  right  hand  was  the  div- 
ination for  Jerusalem,  to  appoint 
captains,  to  open  the  mouth  in 
the  slaughter,  to  lift  up  the  voice 
with  shouting,  to  appoint  batter- 
ing rams  against  the  gates,  to  cast 
a  mount,  and  to  build  a  fort.

a  false  divination  in  their  sight.

but  he  that  is  hasty  of  spirit  ex- 
alteth  folly. 

Pro.  15—1  A  soft  answer  turneth 
away  wrath:  but  grievous  words 
stir  up  anger. 

18  A  wrathful  man  stirreth  up 
strife:  but  he  that  is  slow  to 
anger  appeaseth  strife. 

Pro.  27—4  Wrath  is  cruel,  and 
anger  is  outrageous;  but  who  is 
able  to  stand  before  envy? 

Is.  .^—8  In  a  little  wrath  I  hid 
my  face  from  thee  for  a  moment ; 
but  with  everlasting  kindness 
will  I  have  mercy  on  thee,  saith 
the  Lord  thy  Redeemer. 

Lu.  3—7  Then  said  John  to  the 
multitude  that  came  forth  to  be 
baptized  of  him.O  generation  of 
vipers,  who  hath  warned  you  to 
flee  from  the  wrath  to  come?

Ps.  18—34  Heteacheth  my  hands

Ps.  27—3  Though  a  host  should 
encamp  against  me,  my  heart

rise  against  me,  in  this  will  I  be 
confident.  . 

Ps.  55—21  The  words  of  his 
mouth  were  smoother  than  but-

words  were  softer  than  oil,  yet

utter  his  voice  before  his  army: 
for  his  camp  is  very  great. 

20  But  I  will  remove  far  off  from

A  CONDENSED  HISTOEY  OF  THE  HEBREWS, 
ISRAELITES,  OR  JEWS 

(Ge.  14.  13  AXD  32.  28,  p.  404,  492;  2  Ki.  16.  6,  p.  136.) 
FROM  ABRAHAM.  1921  B.C..  TO  ST.  JOHN  THE  DIVINE,  A.D.  96. 


According  to  the  old  Bible  or 
Jewish  History.  God  called  Abra- 
ham, a  native  of  Ur  of  the  Chal- 
dees  (Ge.  11.  31,  p.  39)  to  be   the 
father  of  his  chosen  people  (Ge. 
12.  13,  15,  17,  p.  148,  149,  and  234)  and 
the  founder  of  the  greatest  nation 
of  brave,  honest,  charitable,  pure, 
and    virtuous    people    that    this 
world   would  ever  know.     Now 
all    this  was  to  come  to  pass   if 
his  chosen  people  would  only  obey 
his  commands  (Ex.  19  and  20,  p. 
45,  46.   and  Le.  26,  De.  28,  p.  161- 
16.5),    which   of    course   they    did 
not  do;   and   God,   in  his  great 
and    wonderful     wisdom,     must 
have    known    that   they    would 
not  do  it.    "For  the  Lord  knows 
the  thoughts  of  man"  (Ps.  94.  11, 
p.    299),      and   the    eyes   of    the 
Lord  run  to  and  fro  throughout 
the  whole  earth"  (2  Chr.  16.  9.  p. 
87).    For  "the  eyes  of  the   Lord 
are  in  every  place,  beholding  the 
evil  and  the  good"    (Pro.  15.  3, 
p.  87.    See   also   Pro.  16.  l,  9,  and 
20.    24,  p.    191;   Jno.    3.  27,  p.   107; 
1  Co.  7. 17,  p.  50).    So  Abraham,  as 
the  Lord  commanded    him,  left 
Ur,  and  went  to  Canaan  (p.   148, 
149) ;  and  there  he  fought  and  won 
a  great   battle,    the    first  battle 
mentioned  in  the  Bible  (Ge.  14,  p. 
404);  and,  on  his  retiirn  fnmi  the 
battle,  "  The  king  of  Sodom  went 
out  to  meet  him;  and  jNIelchize- 
dek  king  of  Salem  brought  forth 
bread  and  wine,"  etc.    After  this 
the    Lord    said    unto    Abraham, 
"Know  of  a  surety  that  thy  seed 
shall  be  a  stranger  in  a  land  that 
isnot  theirs,  and  shall  serve  them, 
and   they  shall   afflict   them  4(io 
years."     Ge.    15.    13,    p.    149.     For

ham,   see    p.    41.    42     52.    148,    149,

Joseph  sold  into  Egypt  by  his 
brothers.    This  was  done  by  the 
Lord's  decree  (Ge.  37,  p.  346,  and 
Ge.  45.  5-8,  p.  352).    Jacob  and  his 
entire  family  go  down  into  Egypt 
(Ge.  46,  p.  149, 150,  and  Ge.  47,  p.  353). 
Birth  of  Moses,  1571  B.C.,  425  years 
after  tlie  birth  of  Abraham  (Ex. 
2,  p.   a54).    Moses  in.structed  and 
commanded  by  the  Lord  to  lead 
the  children  of  Israel  out  of  Egypt 
and   iiito  the  promised  land,  the 
land  of  Canaan,  etc.,  from  which 
tliev  came  from  into  Egypt  (Ge. 
12.  5  and  15.  18-21  and  46.  1-27,  p. 
148-1.5(J;  De.  30.  5.  p.  166).    The  exo- 
dus from  Egypt,    see  p.   150-160. 
In  the  second  year  after  leaving 
Egypt  the  children  of  Israel  came 
near  to  the  promised  land,  and 
Moses,  by  the    Lord's  command, 
sent  one  man  from  each  of  the 
twelve  tribes  to  spy  out  the  land 
of  Canaan,  etc.,  the  promised  land. 
the  land  flownig  with  milk  and 
honey    (Ex.  3.  8.  p.  150,  and  Nu. 
10.  11,  12,  and  13.  1-33,  and  32.  8-15; 
De.  1.   19-46  and   2.  13-15).    They 
went  and  returned  as  Moses  com- 
manded them  ;  and,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  Joshua  and  Caleb,  they 
made  an  evil,  lying  report  to  Mo- 
ses and    tlie   children   of   Israel. 
This  they  did  because  they  were 
afraid  ot  the  people  whom  they 
saw  in  the  promised  land  (Nu.  13. 
26-33) ;  and  in  consequence  the  Lord 
turned  them  back  to  wander  in 
the  wilderness  thirty-eight  years 
more,  and  also  slew  the  men  that 
made  the  evil  report,  and  put  a 
citrse  upon  all  the  balance  of  that 
great  multitude.    Seethe  follow-

Nu.  14—28  Say  unto  them,  As 
truly  as  I  live,  saith  the  Lord,  as 
ye  have  spokeu  in  mine  ears,  so 
will  I  do  to  you: 

29  Your  carcasses  shall  fall  in 
this  wilderness,  and  all  that  were 
numbered  of  you,  according  to 
youi-  whole  number,  from  twenty 
years  old  and  upward,  which  have 
murmured  against  me, 

30  Doubtless  ye  shall  not  come 
into  the  land,  concerning  which  I 
sware  to  make  you  dwell  therein, 
save  Caleb  the  son  of  Jephunneh, 
and  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun. 

31  But  your  little  ones,  which  ye 
said  should  be  a  prey,  them  will  I 
bring  in,  and  they  shall  know  the 
land  which  ye  have  despised. 

32  But  as  for  you,  your  carcasses, 
they  shall  fall  in  this  wilder- 
ness. 

33  And  your  children  shall  wan- 
der in  the  wilderness  forty  years, 
and  bear  your  whoredoms,  until 
your  carcasses  be  wasted  in  the 
wilderness. 

34  After  the  number  of  the  days 
in  which  ye  searched  the  land, 
even  forty  days,  each  day  for  a 
year,  shall  ye  bear  your  iniquities, 
even  forty  years,  and  ye  shall 
know  my  breach  of  promise. 

35  I  the  Lord  have  said,  I  will 
surely  do  it  unto  all  this  evil  con- 
gregation, that  are  gathered  to- 
gether against  me :  in  this  wilder- 
ness they  shall  be  consumed,  and 
there  they  shall  die. 

36  And  the  men  which  Moses 
sent  to  search  the  land,  who  re- 
turned, and  made  all  the  congre- 
gation to  murmur  against  him, 
by  bringing  up  a  slander  upon 
the  land, 

37  Even  those  men  that  did 
bring  up  the  evil  report  upon  the 
land,  died  by  the  plague  before 
the  Lord. 

38  But  Joshua  the  son  of  Niin, 
and  Caleb  the  son  of  Jephunneh, 
which  were  of  the  men  that  went 
to  search  the  laud,  lived  still. 

So  not  one  of  the  600,000  men 
that  left  Egypt  entered  the  prom- 
ised land  but  Caleb  and  Joshua 
(Ex.  12.  37,  p.  158).  Even  Moses, 
meek  Moses  (Nu.  12.  3.  p.  356),  was 
not  permitted  to  pass  over  Jor- 
dan. See  De.  31.  2  and  32,  48-52,  p. 
166, 167. 

Thousands  of  the  children   of 


Israel  were  slain  outright  by  the 
Lord  for  their  disobedience  dvu-- 
ing  their  forty  years  wandering  in 
the  wilderness  and  in  the  open 
country,  see  Ex.  32.  28,  p.  47;  Le. 
10.  p.  402;  Nu.  16.  31-35,  49,  and  25. 

4,  5, 9,  and  11. 1-3,  p.  355, 356, 402 ;  and 

21.  6-9,  p.  262.  Independent  of  that 
great  slaughter  of  people  by  the 
Lord,  he  also  caused  them  to 
tight  several  battles  during  that 
forty  years,  and  it  appears  that 
the  children  of  Israel  were  well 
armed  for  lighting ;  and  how  did 
that  come  if  they  were  kept  down 
as  slaves  in  Egypt?  or  did  the 
Lord  give  them  power  to  borrow 
swords,  as  he  did  to  borrow  jew- 
elry from  the  Egyptians?  see  Ex. 

5,  p.  30,  and  1.  7-14,  p.  1.50,  and  3,  21, 

22,  and  12.  35,  36,  p.  151,  158.  The 
first  battle  fought  after  leaving 
Egypt  was  the  battle  of  Riphi- 
dim,  "Hands  up,"  Ex.  17.  p.  404; 
the  second,  the  battle  with  the 
kings  of  Sihon  and  Og,  Nu.  21,  p. 
144;  the  third,  the  battle  with 
the  Midianites,  Nu.  31,  p.  405.  In 
all  these  battles  the  Israelites 
were  victorious,  because  the  Lord 
was  with  them ;  but  in  the  last 
battle  fought  in  the  wilderness 
they  were  not.  This  one  was 
foughtwithout  authority  from  the 
Lord,  fought  after  they  brought 
in  their  false  report  about  the 
promised  land.  See  the  following 
verses:— 

Nu.  14 — 40  And  they  rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  gat  them  up 
into  the  top  of  the  mountain,  say- 
ing, Lo,  we  be  here,  and  will  go 
up  unto  the  place  which  the 
Lord  hath  promised :  for  we  have 
sinned. 

41  And  Moses  said.  Wherefore 
now  do  ye  transgress  the  com- 
mandment of  the  Lord?  but  it 
shall  not  prosper. 

42  Go  not  up,  for  the  Lord  is 
not  among  you;  that  ye  be  not 
smitten  before  your  enemies. 

43  For  the  Anialekites  and  the 
Canaanites  are  there  before  you, 
and  ye  shall  fall  by  the  sword: 
because  ye  are  turned  away  from 
the  Lord,  therefore  the  Lord  will 
not  be  with  you. 

44  But  they  presumed  to  go  up 
unto  the  hilltop:  nevertheless  the 
ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord, 
and  Moses,  departed  not  out  of 
the  camp. 


329 


45  Then  the  Amalekites  came 
down,  and  the  Canaanites  which 
dwelt  iu  that  hill,  and  smote 
them,  and  discomiited  them, 
even  unto  Hormah. 

This  was  in  the  second  year 
after  leaving  Egypt,  and  about 
thirty-eight  years  before  they 
retui-ned  to  their  old  country, 
the  promised  land,  after  a  so- 
journ of  430  years  iu  Egypt.  Dur- 
ing their  forty  years  wandering 
the  Lord  gave  unto  Moses  all  he 
laws,  both  general  and  religious, 
whereby  the  children  of  Israel 
were  to  be  governed.  (For  those 
who  may  wish  to  go  more  fully 
into  this  matter,  see  Ex.  16  to 
Nu.  36:  this  covers  a  space  of 
thirty-nine  years  and  six  months, 
and  the  book  of  Deuteronomy  the 
last  six  months  of  the  forty  years 
wandering  in  the  wilderness.) 
The  first  laws  were  the  Ten  Com- 
mandments, Ex.  19  and  20,  p.  4.5. 
46.  Second,  laws  in  regard  to  buy- 
ing and  selling  slaves,  p.  441,  etc.

etc.  After  the  death  of  Moses 
(De.  31  and  34,  p.  I6t>,  167)  Joshua 
led  the  children  of  Israel  into  the 
promised  land  (1451  B.C.,  p.  168, 
169);  and  then  began  a  series  of 
battles  to  kill  off  all  the  people, 
the    inhabitants     of    that    land 

(Jos.  2,    p.    405    to    Ju.    1.5,    p.    412), 

so  that  the  Israelites  could  occupy 
it  themselves.  This  they  could  do 
not  entirely;  but  they  shwghtered 
untold  thousandsof  men,  women. 


and  children,  and  took  possession 
of  their  houses,  cattle,  and  lands, 
enough  to  make  homes  for  them- 
selves. See  Jos.  12,  p.  144,  and  the 
entire  book  of  Joshua  and  first 
chapter  of  the  book  of  Judges. 
Now  all  this  murderous  slaughter 
of  a  people  created  in  the  image 
of  their  maker,  the  Bible  tells  us, 
was  done  because  they  were 
heathens.  "  And  yet  it  is  not  in 
man  that  walketh  to  direct  his 
steps,"  Je.  10. 2;5,  p.  196.  "For  the 
preparation  of  the  heart  in  man, 
and  the  answer  of  the  tongue  is 
from  the  Lord,"  Pro.  16. 1,  p.  191.  "  I 
make  peace  and  create  evil;  I 
the  Lord  do  all  these  things,"  Is. 
45.  7,  p.  105.  So  the  poor  heathen 
was  slaughtered,  without  mercy 
or  pity,  slaughtered  by  the  will 
and  lirection  of  God  himself  for 
a  people  whose  honour,  honesty, 
and  virtue  was  no  better  than 
those  unfortunate  mortals  whom 
Joshua  and  his  idolatrous,  plun- 
dering horde  so  barbarously  mur- 
dered; and  after  all  this  inhuman 
slaughter  of  a  people  simply  de- 
feuding  their  own  homes,  then 
the  children  of  Israel,  God's 
chosen  people  (p.  234),  turned 
against  the  God  that  chose  theiri. 
and  disobeyed  him,  as  they  had 
done  many,  many  times  before, 
disobeyed  the  God  who  had 
chosen  them  to  be  an  example 
and  a  model  for  all  creation  to 
pattern  after,  and  said  to  them, 
"  In  tbee  shall  all  families  of  the 
earth  be  blessed,"  Ge.  12.  3,  p, 
148,  "  and  in  thy  seed  shall  all  the 
nation  of  the  earth  be  blessed," 
Ge.  22. 18,  p.  263.  Their  actions  so 
angered  the  Lord  that  he  would 
not  help  them,  or  assist  them  in 
any  way,  not  even  with  the 
hornet  (Ex.  23,  De.  7;  Jos.  24,  p. 
132),  to  drive  out  or  miu'der  any 
more  of  the  heathens,  the  un- 
fortunate people  of  the  land,  but 
left  them  to  be  "  Pricks  in  your 
eves,  and  thorns  in  your  sides," 
Nu.  33.  55,  p.  168;  Ju.  2.  1-5,  p. 
492,  and  Ju.  2. 14, 15,  p.  125. 

Ju.  2—20  And  the  anger  of  the 
Lord  was  liot  against  Israel ;  and 
he  said,  Because  that  this  people 
hath  trangressed  my  covenant 
which  I  commanded  their  fathers, 
and  have  not  hearkened  unto  my 
voice ; 


330 


21  I  also  will  not  henceforth 
drive  out  any  from  before  them 
of  the  nations  which  Joshua  left 
when  he  died : 

22  That  through  them  I  may 
prove  Israel,  whether  they  will 
keep  the  way  of  the  Lord  to  walk 
therein,  as  their  fathers  did  keep 
it,  or  not. 

23  Therefore  the  Lord  left  those 
nations,  without  driving  them  out 
hastily;  neither  delivered  he 
them  mto  the  hand  of  Joshua. 

Ju.  3—1  Now  these  are  the  na- 
tions which  the  Lord  left,  to 
prove  Israel  by  them,  even  as 
many  of  Israel  as  had  not  known 
all  the  wars  of  Canaan ; 

2  Only  that  the  generations  of 
the  children  of  Israel  might  know 
to  teach  them  war,  at  the  least 
such  as  before  knew  nothing 
thereof; 

3  Namely,  five  lords  of  the  Phi- 
listines, and  all  the  Canaanites, 
and  the  Sidonians.and  the  Hivites 
that  dwelt  in  mount  Lebanon, 
from  mount  Baal-hermon  unto 
the  entering  in  of  Haniath. 

4  And  they  were  to  prove  Israel 
by  them,  to  know  whether  they 
would  hearken  unto  the  com- 
mandments of  the  Lord,  which 
he  commanded  their  fathers  by 
the  hand  of  Moses. 

6  And  they  took  their  daughters 
to  be  their  wives,  and  gave  their 
daughters  to  their  sous.and  served 
their  gods. 

7  And  the  children  of  Israel  did 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  and 
forgat  the  Lord  their  God,  and 
served  Baalim  and  the  groves. 
See  also  De.  7.  1-8  and  20.  10-18. 

And  in  consequence  the  Lord  sold 
them  into  the  hands  of  their  ene- 
mies, and  in  time  delivered  them, 
and  again  and  again  sold  them 
to  their  enemies,  and  again  and 
again  delivered  them  (Ju.  3  and  4, 
p.  408,  etc.),  and  thus  they  were  in 
trouble  or  at  war,  with  two  or 
tliree  exceptions,  from  the  time 
they  came  out  of  Egypt,  1491  B.C., 
to  the  days  of  Saul,  1096  B.C.  Dur- 
ing all  these  long  years  of  trouble 
and  war,  the  children  of  Israel 
were  governed  by  Moses,  Joshua, 
and  the  Judges,  except  for  three 
years  when  A himelech  by  his  own 
appointment  was  king  of  Israel, 
about  two  hundred  years  before 
the  days  of   Saul,  Ju.  9,  p.  410. 


Saul  was  the  first  king  of  Israel 
hy  the  Lord's  appointment,  and 
he  reigned  forty  years.  He  was 
chosen  by  the  Lord,  in  his  great 
wisdom  and  judgment,  as  the 
best  man  in  all  Israel  to  rule  his 
chosen  people. 

1  Sa.  &— 2  And  Saul  was  a  choice  ■' 
young  man,  and   there  was  not 
among  the  children  of   Israel  a  " 
goodlier  person  than  he:  from  his 
shoulders  and    upward    he  was 
higher  than  any  of  the  people. 

15  Now  the  Lord  had  told  Sam- 
uel in  his  ear  a  day  before  Saul 
came,  saying, 

16  lo  morrow  about  this  time  I 
will  send  thee  a  man  out  of  the 
land  of  Benjamin,  and  thou  shalt 
anoint  him  to  be  captain  over  my . 
people  Israel. 

17  And  when  Samuel  saw  Saul,  - 
the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Behold 
the  man  whom  I  spake  to  thee  of! 
this  same  shall  reign  over  my 
people. 

1  Sa.  10—1  Then  Samuel  took  a 
vial  of  oil,  and  poured  it  upon  his 
head,  and  kissed  him,  and  said.  Is 
it  not  because  the  Lord  hatli 
anointed  thee  to  be  captain  over 
his  inheritance? 

So  Saul  became  king  of  Israel, 
not  by  his  own  request ;  for  he  had 
no  thought,  not  even  the  least 
idea,  that  he  would  be  chosen 
king.  Yet  he  was,  and  an  unfor- 
tunate thing  it  was  for  poor  Saul ; 
for  he  made  a  fatal  mistake  after 
he  was  anointed  king,  and  in  con- 
sequence the  Lord  rejected  him 
and  chose  David  a  man,  after;  his 
own  heart  (l  Sa.  13.  8-14,  p.  417). 
the  man  who,  ten  years  after  the 
Lord  had  chosen  him,  robbed 
Uriah  of  his  wife  and  had  him  put 
to  death.  See  David,  Bath-Sheba, 
and  Uriah,  p.424,  and  the  following 
lines:  — 

2  Sa.  12—31  And  David  brought 
forth  the  people,  and  put  them 
under  saws,  and  under  harrows  of 
iron,  and  under  axes  of  iron,  and 
made  them  pass  through  the 
brickkiln,    p.  266. 

And  Saul  also  made  a  second 
mistake,  and  then  his  doom  was 
sealed.  "And  the  Lord  repented 
that  he  had  made  Saul  King  over 
Israel."  1  Sa.  15. 9-35.  p.  418,  419. 


331 


"And  the  spirit  of  the  Lord  de- 
parted from  Saul,  and  an  evil 
spirit  from  the  Lord  troubled 
him,"  1  Sa.  16.  14,  p.  251;  and  this 
same  evil  spirit  guided  Saul  in 
all  his  actions  after  the  slaughter 
of  the  Amalekites,  1  Sa.  15,  p.  418. 
So  no  matter  what  Saul  did,  it 
was  not  Saul  that  did  it,  it  was 
the  evil  spirit  from  the  Lord ;  and 
thus  the  Lord,  through  that  evil 
spirit,  in  his  desire  for  revenge  on 
the  man  he  had  chosen  to  rule 
his  people  Israel  (the  man  who 
made  two  humane  and  uninten- 
tional mistakes  before  the  Lord's 
evil  spirit  controlled  him),  con- 
tinuecf  to  afflict  him  until  the 
day  of  his  death.  See  the  last 
battle  of  the  unfortunate  King 
Saul,  p.  421.  The  histories  of  the 
world  without  any  exception,  in- 
cluding the  Old  Bible  or  Jewish 
History,  tells  us  of  no  other  man 
in  authority  who  persecuted  an- 
other man  in  authority  to  the 
same  extent  that  the  Lord  perse- 
cuted Saul ;  and  yet  the  decreas- 
ing numbers  of  the  so-called  Chris- 
tiansof  this  world  are  still  praying 
to  that  Lord  who  so  mercilessly 
and  inhumanly  persecuted  the 
unfortunate  King  Saul.  David, 
who  reigned  forty  years  (2  Ki.  2. 
11,  p.  365),  David,  "The  sweet 
Psalmist  of  Israel"  (2  Sa.  23.  1,  p. 
402),  David,  "The  man  after  the 
Lord's  own  heart"  (1  Sa.  13.  14,  p. 
417),  the  second  king  of  Israel  by 
tlie  Lord's  appointment  (1  Sa.  16 
and  17  and  1  Chr.  2,  p.  43),  was 
chosen  king  seven  years  before 
the  death  of  King  Saul  in  the 
year  1063  b.c.  In  the  same  year 
after  he  was  made  king  he  slew 
Goliath,  see  1  Sa.  17,  p.  419,  and 
Chronology  of  the  Old  Bible,  p. 
537.  For  other  history  in  regard 
to  King  David,  see  p.  359-367  and

During  the  reign  of  Saul  and 
David  (80  years)  the  children  of  Is- 
rael were  almost  continually  at 
war  or  in  trouble  of  some  kind, 
but  in  the  forty  year  reign  of  Sol- 
omon (1  Ki.  11.  42,  p.  372),  the  son 
of  David,  who  was  the  third  king 
of  Israel  by  the  Lord's  appoint- 
ment, thei'e  was  peace  ni  the 
land,  as  the  Lord  said  there  should 
be,  1  Ch.  22.  9,  p.  366;  1  Ki.  4.  25,  p. 
298. 

King  Solomon  himself,  Solo- 
mon named  by  the  Lord  (2  Sa.  12. 


24, 1  Chr.  22.  9,  p.  427),  led  a  peace- 
ful, but  an  extravagant,  lascivi- 
ous life,  with  his  one  thousand 
wives  and  concubines,  until  a  few 
years  before  his  death ;  and  then 
'His  wives  turned  away  his  heart 
from  the  Lord,"  1  Ki.  11.  3,  4,  p.  372. 

I  Ki.  11—9  And  the  Lord  was 
angry  with  Solomon,  because  his 
heart  was  turned  from  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  which  had  appeared 
unto  him  twice,  l  Ki.  3.5-15,  9.  2-9, 
and  2  Chr.  1,  p.  307. 

II  Wherefore  the  Lord  said  un- 
to Solomon.  Forasmuch  as  this 
is  done  of  thee,  and  thou  hast 
not  kept  my  covenant  and  my 
statutes,  which  I  have  command- 
ed thee,  I  will  surely  rend  the 
kingdom  from  thee,  and  will  give 
it  to  thy  servant. 

12  Notwithstanding,  in  thy  days 
I  will  not  do  it  for  David  thy 
father's  sake:  but  I  will  rend  it 
out  of  the  hand  of  thy  sou. 

13  Howbeit  I  will  not  rend  away 
all  the  kingdom;  but  will  give 
one  tribe  to  thy  son  for  David  my 
servant's  sake,  and  for  Jerusa- 
lem's sake  which  I  have  cliosen. 

14  And  the  Lord  stirred  up  an 
adversary  unto  Solomon,  Hadad 
the  Edomite:  he  was  of  the  king's 
seed  in  Edom. 

23  And  God  stirred  him  up  an- 
other adversary,  Rezon  the  son  of 
Eliadah,  which  fled  from  his  lord 
Hadadezer  king  of  Zobah. 

26  And  Jeroboam  the  son  of 
Nebat,  an  Ephrathite  of  Zereda, 
Solomon's  servant,  whose  moth- 
er's name  was  Zeruah,  a  widow 
woman,  even  he  lifted  up  his 
hand  against  the  king. 

40  Solomon  sought  therefore  to 
kill  Jeroboam.  And  Jeroboam 
arose,  and  fled  into  Egypt,  unto 
Shishak  king  of  Egypt,  and  was  in 
Egypt  until  the  death  of  Solomon. 

The  peace  in  the  land  during 
Solomon's  reign  does  not  seem  to 
be  verified  in  the  following  lines, 
—words  spoken  by  Solomon's  sub- 
jects to  his  son  Rehoboam,  and 
Kehoboam's  answer:— 

1  Ki.  12 — 1  Thy  father  made  our 
yoke  grievous:  now  therefore 
make  thou  the  grievous  service 
of  thy  father,  and  his  heavy  yoke 
which  he  put  upon  us,  lighter,  and 
we  will  serve  thee. 


332 


14  And  king  Rehoboam  spake 
to  them  after  the  counsel  of  the 
young  men,  saying  My  father 
made  your  yoke  heavy,  a,nd  I  will 
add  to  your  yoke  mj  father  also 
chastised  you  with  whips  but  I 
will  chastise  you  with  scorpions. 

From  this,  one  would  judge  that 
there  was  not  much  happiness 
among  Solomon's  people,  even 
though  the  nation  was  at  peace 
with  other  nations.  For  a  contin- 
uation of  history  in  regard  to  this 
all  wise  king,  see  2  Chr.  l  and  9, 
etc.,  p.  307,  308,  and  p.  364-372,  and 
the  supposed  writings  of  Solomon, 
SS.  1.  to  SS.  8,  p.  171-174 ;  and  Ec.  2 
to  Ec.  12,  p.  192-195.  It  is  also 
claimed  that  Solomon  wrote  the 
book  of  Proverbs. 

Pro.  1—1  The  Proverbs  of  Solo- 
mon the  son  of  David,  king  of  Is- 
rael; 

2  To  know  wisdom  and  instruc- 
tion ;  to  perceive  the  words  of  un- 
derstanding ; 

3  To  receive  the  instruction  of 
wisdom,  justice,  and  judgment, 
and  equity; 

4  To  give  subtilty  to  the  simple, 
to  the  young  man  knowledge  and 
discretion. 

5  A  wise  man  will  hear,  and  will 
increase  learning;  and  a  man  of 
understanding  shall  attain  unto 
wise  counsels: 

6  To  understand  a  proverb,  and 
the  interpretation ;  tlie  words  of 
the  wise,  and  their  dark  saying. 

7  The  fear  of  the  Lokd  is  the 
beginningof  knowledge:  but  fools 
despise  wisdom  and  instruction. 

After  the  death  of  Solomon  (976 
B.C.,  1  Ki.  11.  43,  p.  372)  the  king- 
dom of  Israel  was  divided  into 
two  parts,  as  the  Lord  said  it 
should  be;  and  thus  began  the 
downfall  of  the  great  Jewish  na- 
tion, divided,  cut  asunder,  split 
apart,  and  started  on  the  down- 
ward road  to  ruin,  all  on  accoiint 
of  Solomon.  And  yet  they  might 
have  been  saved  had  it  not 
been  for  the  corrupt  Priests  and 
Prophets  (Je.  23.  22,  p.  227,  and  p. 
226-230).  Andisit  any  wonder  that 
tliat  house,  divided  against  itself 
by  the  Lord  for  its  quarrelsome, 
tyrannical  nature  and  licentious 
corruption,  did  fall. 


In  388  years  after  the  kingdom 
was  divided,  the  two  divided  na- 
tion passed  out  of  existence  as 
independent  nations  and  into  the 
hand  of  their  enemies.  See  2  Ki. 
15, 18,  and  21,  p.  466;  and  2  Ki.  25,  p. 
34,  35.  When  the  kingdom  of  Is- 
rael was  divided,  the  tribes  of  Ju- 
dah  and  Benjamin  made  Reho- 
boam, sou  of  Solomon,  of  the  tribe 
of  Judah,  their  king,  and  he  was 
known  as  the  king  of  Judah  and 
dweL  in  Jerusalem;  and  the  other 
ten  tribes  made  Jeroboam,  son  of 
Nebat.  their  king,  and  he  was 
known  as  the  king  of  Israel  and 
dwelt  in  Shechem,  some  years 
after  the  kings  of  Israel  dwelt  in 
Samaria,  as  will  be  seen  by  the 
following  lines.  Rehoboam  at- 
tempted to  restore  the  kingdom, 
but  m  this  he  was  not  successful. 

1  Ki.  12—21  And  when  Rehoboam 
was  come  to  Jerusalem,  he  as- 
sembled all  the  house  of  Judah, 
with  the  tribe  of  Benjamin,  a 
hundred  and  fourscore  thousand 
chosen  men,  which  were  warriors, 
to  fight  against  the  house  of  Is- 
rael, to  brmg  the  kingdom  again 
to  Rehoboam  the  son  of  Solomon. 

22  But  the  word  of  God  came 
unto  Shemaiah  the  man  of  God, 
saying, 

23  Speak  unto  Rehoboam,  the 
sonof  Solomon, kingof  Judah,  and 
unto  all  the  house  of  Judah  and 
Benjamin,  and  to  the  remnant  of 
the  people,  saying, 

24  Ihussaith  the  Lord,  Ye  shall 
not  go  up,  nor  fight  against  your 
brethren  the  children  of  Israel: 
return  every  man  to  his  house; 
for  this  thuig  is  from  me.  They 
hearkened  therefore  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  and  returned,  accord- 
ing to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

25  Then  Jeroboam  built  She- 
chem in  mount  Ephraim,  and 
dwelt  therein. 

26  And  Jeroboam  said  in  his 
heart.  Now  shall  the  kingdom  re- 
turn to  the  house  of  David : 

27  If  this  people  go  up  to  do  sac- 
rifice in  the  house  of  the  Lord  at 
Jerusalem,  then  shall  the  heart  of 
this  people  turn  again  unto  their 
lord,  even  unto  Rehoboam  king 
of  Judah,  and  they  shall  kill  me, 
and  go  again  to  Rehoboam  king 
of  Judah. 


333 


28  Whereupon  the  king  took 
counsel,  and  made  two  calves  of 
gold,  and  said  unto  them.  It  is  too 
much  for  you  to  go  up  to  Jerusa- 
lem: behold  thv  gods,  O  Israel, 
which  brought  thee  up  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt. 

29  And  he  set  the  one  in  Beth-el, 
and  the  other  put  he  in  Dan. 

30  And  this  tiling  became  a  sin: 
for  th  people  went  to  worship  be- 
fore the  one,  even  unto  Dan. 

31  And  he  made  a  house  of  high 
places,  and  made  priests  of  the 
lowest  of  the  people  which  were 
not  of  the  sons  of  Levi. 

32  And  Jeroboam  ordained  a 
feast  in  the  eighth  month  on  the 
fifteenth  day  of  the  month,  like 
unto  the  feast  that  is  in  Judah, 
and  he  offered  upon  the  altar.  So 
did  he  in  Beth-el,  sacriticiiig  unto 
the  calves  that  he  had  made  and 
he  placed  in  Beth-el  the  priests 
of  the  high  places  which  he  had 
made. 

There  were  nineteen  kings  and 
one  queen  of  Judah;  and  they 
reigned  for  388  years,  from  the 
death  of  Solomon,  when  the  king- 
dom was  divided  in  976  B.C.,  until 
their  fall  in  588  B.C.  Then  Jerusa- 
lem was  taken  for  the  second  time 
and  nearly  destroyed  by  Nebu- 
chaduezzer,  kmg  of  Babylon.  See 
2  Ki.  25,  p.  34.  It  was  first  taken 
eleven  years  before  this,  and  many 
of  the  people  carried  away  cap- 
tive. See  2  Ki.  24,  p.  4CG.  And  there 
were  nineteen  kmgsof  Israel  who 
reigned  for  255years,from  the  days 
of  Solomon,  976  B.C.,  to  the  daysof 
their  captivity,  721  B.C.,  2  Ki.  15. 
18,  p.  466.  See  also  chronology  of 
the  old  Bible,  p.  537.  The  longest 
reign  of  any  Jewish  king  was  Ma-

the  books  of  Ezra,  Nehemiah,

tu  Malachi.  SeeCuronologyof  the 
old  Bible,  p.  537.  From  tlie  book 
of  Malachi,  the  last  book  of  the 
old  Bible,  supposed  to  have  been 
written  in  the  year  420  B.C.,  to  the 
birth  of  Jesus  Christ,  the  sou  of 
Mary,  there  is  no  Bible  history  of 
the  Jews.  As  to  the  new  Bible  or 
New  Testament  history  of  the 
Jews  from  the  birth  of  Christ,  and 
including  the  life  and  works  of 
Jesus  Christ,  from  the  books  of 
Matthew,  Mark,  Luke,  and  John, 
each  one  of  these  books  contains 
an  accovmt  of  the  life  of  Christ 
supposed  to  have  been  written  by 
the  man  whose  name  it  bears. 
Yet  no  one  of  them  record  in  full 
all  the  works  ascribed  to  Christ ; 
but,  on  the  pages  mentioned  be- 
low, you  will  find  a  collection  of 
all  the  important  events  of  his 
life.  See  p.  496  and  Mat.  3,  Lu.  3. 
p.  27.  28.  and  p.  445-536. 

From  the  birth  of  Christ  to  the 
writing  of  the  book  of  Revela- 
tions by  St.  John  there  is  a  space 
of  about  96  years,  and  that  brings 
to  a  close  the  Bible  history  of  the 
Hebrew,  Israelite, or  Jew,  from  the 
year  1921  B.C.  to  a.d.  96.

BIBLE  SELECTIONS. 

Abraham's  journey  into  Egypt,  where  he  denied  his  wife,  and  into 
the  land  of  Philistines  unto  King  Ataimelech,  where  he  again  de- 
nied his  wife ;  and  Isaac's  sojom-n  in  the  land  of  the  Philistines  with 
King  Abimelech.  where  he  also  denied  his  wife,  Ge.  12,  20,  and  36 
following. 


Ge.  12—10  And  there  was  a  fam- 
ine in  the  land:  and  Abram  went 
down  into  Egypt  to  sojourn  there ; 
for  the  famine  was  grievous  in  the 
land. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
was  come  near  to  enter  into 
Egypt,  that  he  said  unto  Sarai  his 
wife,  Behold,  now,  I  know  that 
thou  art  a  fair  woman  to  look 
upon: 

12  Therefore  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  when  the  Egyptians  shall  see 
thee,  that  they  shall  say.  This  is 
his  wife:  and  they  will  kill  me, 
but  they  will  save  thee  alive. 

13  Say,  I  pray  thee,  thou  art  my 
sister:  that  it  may  be  well  with 
me  for  thy  sake;  and  my  soul 
shall  live  because  of  thee. 

14  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  Abram  was  come  into 
Egypt,  the  Egyptians  beheld  the 
woman  that  she  "was  very  fair. 

15  The  princes  also  of  Pharaoh 
saw  her,  and  commended  her  be- 
fore Pharaoh:  and  the  woman 
was  taken  into  Pharaoh's  house. 

16  And  he  entreated  .\bram  well 
for  her  sake:  and  he  had  sheep, 
and  oxen,  and  he  asses,  and  men- 
servants,  and  maidservants,  and 
she  asses,  and  camels. 

17  And  the  Lord  plagued  Pha- 
raoh and  his  house  with  great 
plagues,  because  of  Sarai,  Abram's 
wife. 

18  And  Pharaoh  called  Abram, 
and  said.  What  is  this  that  thou 
has  done  unto  me?  why  didst 
thou  not  tell  me  that  she  vt  as  thy 
wife? 

19  Why  saidst  thou.  She  is  my 
sister?  so  I  might  have  taken  her 
tome  to  wife:  now  therefore  be- 
hold thy  wife,  take  her,  and  go 
thy  way. 

20  And  Pharaoh  commanded  his 
men  concerning  him:  and  they 
sent  him  away,  and  his  wife,  and 
all  that  he  had. 

Ge.  20—1  Ajid  Abraham  jour- 
neyed from  thence  toward  the 
south  coimtry,  and  dwelt  between 
Kadesh  and  Shur,  and  sojourned 
in  Gerar. 


2  And  Abraham  said  of  Sarah 
his  wife.  She  is  my  sister:  and 
Abimelech  king  of  Gerar  sent, 
and  took  Sarah. 

3  But  God  came  to  Abimelech 
in  a  dream  by  night,  and  said  to 
him.  Behold,  thou  art  but  a  dead 
man,  for  the  woman  which  thou 
hast  taken;  for  she  is  a  man's 
wife. 

4  But  Abimelech  had  not  come 
near  her:  and  he  said.  Lord,  wilt 
thou  slay  also  a  righteous  nation  ? 

5  Said  he  not  mito  me.  She  is 
my  sister?  and  she,  even  she  her- 
.self  .said.  He  is  my  brother:  in 
the  integrity  of  my  heart  and 
innocency  of  my  hands  have  I 
done  this. 

6  And  God  said  unto  him  in  a 
dream,  Yea,  I  know  that  thou 
didst  this  in  the  integrity  of  thy 
heart ;  for  I  also  withheld  thee 
from  .sinning  against  me:  there- 
fore suffered  I  thee  not  to  touch 
her. 

7  Now  therefore  restore  the  man 
his  wife ;  for  he  is  a  prophet,  and 
he  shall  pray  for  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  live:  and  if  thou  restore  her 
not,  know  thou  that  thou  shalt 
surely  die,  thou,  and  all  that  are 
thine. 

8  Therefore  Abimelech  rose 
early  in  the  morning,  and  called 
all  his  servants,  and  told  all  these 
things  in  their  ears:  and  the  men 
were  sore  afraid. 

9  Then  Abimelech  called  Abra- 
ham, and  .said  unto  him.  What 
hast  thou  done  unto  us?  and  what 
have  offended  thee,  that  thou 
hast  bi'ought  on  me  and  on  my 
kingdom  a  great  sin?  thou  hast 
done  deeds  unto  me  that  ought 
not  to  be  done. 

11  And  Abraham  said.  Because 
I  thought,  Surely  the  fear  of  God 
is  not  m  this  place ;  and  they  will 
slay  me  for  my  wife's  sake. 

12  And  yet  indeed  she  is  my 
sister ;  she  is  the  daughter  of  my 
father,  but  not  the  daughter  of 
my  mother;  and  she  became  my 
wife. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 


335 


God  caused  me  to  wander  from 
my  father's  house,  that  I  said  uuto 
her,  This  is  thy  kindness  which 
thou  shalt  shew  uuto  me ;  at  every 
place  whither  we  shall  come,  say 
of  me.  He  is  my  brotlier. 

14  And  Abimelech  took  slieep, 
and  oxeu,  and  menservauts,  and 
womenservants,  and  gave  them 
unto  Abraham,  and  restored  him 
Sarah  his  wife. 

15  And  Abimelech  said.  Behold, 
my  laud  is  before  thee:  dwell 
where  it  pleaseth  thee. 

16  And  uuto  Sarah  he  said,  Be- 
hold, I  have  given  thy  brother  a 
thousand  pieces  of  silver:  behold, 
he  is  to  thee  a  covering  of  the 
eyes,  unto  all  that  are  with  thee, 
and  with  all  other:  thus  she  was 
reproved. 

17  So  Abraham  prayed  unto 
God:  and  God  healed  Abimelech, 
and  his  wife,  and  his  maidserv- 
ants; and  they  bare  children. 

18  For  the  Lord  had  fast  closed 
up  all  the  wombs  of  the  house 
of  Abimelech,  because  of  Sarah, 
Abraham's  wife. 

Birth  of  Ishmael,  the  son  of 
Abraham  and  Hagar. 

Birth  of  Isaac,  the  son  of  Abra- 
ham and  Sarah.  See  also  Gal.  4. 
22-31. 

Ge.  16—1  Now  Sarai,  Abram's 
wife,  bare  him  no  children:  and 
she  had  a  handmaid,  an  Egyptian, 
wliose  name  was  Hagar. 

2  And  Sarai  said  vmto  Abram, 
Behold  now,  the  Lord  hath  re- 
strained me  from  bearing:  I  pray 
thee,  go  in  unto  mj^  maid ;  it  may 
be  that  I  may  obtain  children  by 
her.  And  Abram  hearkened  to 
the  voice  of  Sarai. 

3  And  Sarai,  Abram's  wife,  took 
Hagar  her  maid  the  Egyptian, 
after  Abram  had  dwelt  ten  years 
in  the  land  of  Canaan,  and  gave 
her  to  her  husband  Abram  to  be 
his  wife. 

4  IT  And  he  went  in  unto  Hagar, 
and  she  conceived :  and  when  she 
saw  that  she  had  conceived,  her 
mistress  was  despised  in  her  eyes. 

5  And  Sarai  said  unto  Abram, 
My  wrong  be  upon  thee:  I  have 
given  my  maid  into  thy  bosom ; 
and  when  she  saw  that  she  had 
conceived,  I  was  despised  in  her 
eyes:  the  Lord  judge  between 
me  and  thee. 


6  But  Abram  said  unto  Sarai, 
Behold,  thy  maid  is  in  thy  hand : 
do  to  her  as  it  pleaseth  thee.  And 
when  Sarai  dealt  hardly  with 
her,  she  tied  from  her  face. 

7  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
found  her  by  a  fountain  of  water 
in  the  wilderness,  by  the  fountain 
in  the  way  to  Shur. 

8  And  he  said,  Hagar.  Sarai's 
maid,  whence  camest  thou?  and 
whither  wilt  thou  go?  And  she 
said,  I  flee  from  the  face  of  my 
mistress  Sarai. 

9  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  luito  her,  Retui'u  to  thy  mis- 
tress, and  submit  thyself  under 
her  hands. 

10  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  her.  I  will  multiply  thy 
seed  exceedingly,  that  it  shall 
not  be  numbered  for  multitude. 

11  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  her,  Behold,  thou  art 
with  child,  and  shalt  bear  a  son, 
and  shalt  call  his  name  Ishmael; 
because  the  Lord  hath  heard  thy 
affliction. 

12  And  he  will  be  a  wild  man; 
hishandwillbeagainsteveryman, 
and  every  man's  hand  against 
him:  and  he  shall  dwell  m  the 
presence  of  all  his  brethren. 

15  And  Hagar  bare  Abram  a  son : 
and  Abram  called  his  son's  name, 
which  Hagar  bare,  Ishmael. 

16  And  Abram  was  fourscore 
and  six  years  old,  when  Hagar 
bare  Ishmael  to  Abram. 


Ge.  17—20  And  as  for  Ishmael,  I 
have  heard  thee:  Behold,  I  have 
blessed  him,  and  will  make  him 
fruitful,  and  will  multiply  him 
exceedingly  •  twelve  princes  shall 
he  beget,  and  1  will  make  him  a 
great  nation. 

21  But  my  covenant  will  I  estab- 
lish with  Isaac,  which  Sarah  shall 
bear  unto  thee  at  this  set  time  in 
the  next  year. 

Ge.  21—1  And  the  Lord  visited 
Sarah  as  he  had  said,  and  did 
unto  Sarah  as  he  had  spoken. 

2  For  Sarah  conceived,  and  bare 
Abraham  a  son  in  his  old  age,  at 
the  set  time  of  which  God  had 
spoken  to  him. 

3  And  Abraham  called  the 
name  of  his  son  that  was  born 
unto  him,  whom  Sarah  bare  to 
him,  Isaac.    Vrs.  4,  5,  p.  52. 


336 


6  And  Sarah  said,  God  hath 
made  me  to  latigh,  so  that  all 
that  hear  will  laugh  with  me. 

7  Andshesaid.  Who  would  have 
said  unto  Abraham,  that  Sarah 
should  have  given  children  suck? 
for  I  have  borne  him  a  son  in  his 
old  age. 

8  And  the  child  grew,  and  was 
weaned:  and  Abraham  made  a 
great  feast  the  same  day  that 
Isaac  was  weaned. 

9  And  Sarah  saw  the  son  of 
Hagar  the  Egyptian,  which  she 
had  borne  unto  Abraham,  mock- 
ing. 

10  Wherefore  she  said  unto 
Abraham,  Cast  out  this  bond- 
woman and  her  son:  for  the  son 
of  this  bondwoman  shall  not  be 
heir  with  my  son,  even  with 
Isaac. 

11  And  the  thing  was  very  grriev- 
ous  in  Abraham  s  sight  because 
of  his  son. 

12  And  God  said  unto  Abra- 
ham, Let  it  not  be  grievous  in  thy 
sight  because  of  the  lad,  and  be- 
cause of  thy  bondwoman ;  in  all 
that  Sarah  hath  said  unto  thee, 
hearken  unto  her  voice:  for  in 
Isaac  shall  thy  .seed  be  called. 

13  And  also  of  the  son  of  the 
bondwoman  will  I  make  a  nation, 
because  he  is  thy  seed. 

14  And  Abraham  rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  took  bread, 
and  a  bottle  of  water,  and  gave  it 
unto  Hagar,  putting  it  on  her 
slioulder,  and  the  child,  and  sent 
her  away:  and  she  departed,  and 
wandered  in  the  wilderness  of 
Beer-sheba. 

1,5  And  the  water  was  spent  in 
the  bottle,  and  .she  cast  the  child 
under  one  of  the  shrubs. 

16  And  she  went,  and  sat  her 
down  over  again.st  him  a  good 
way  off,  as  it  were  a  bowshot: 
for  she  said.  Let  me  not  see  the 
death  of  the  child.  And  she  sat 
over  against  him,  and  lifted  up 
her  voice,  and  wept. 

17  And  God  heard  the  voice  of 
the  lad;  and  the  angel  of  God 
called  to  Hagar  out  of  heaven, 
and  said  unto  her,  What  aileth 
thee,  Hagar?  fear  not;  for  God 
hath  heard  the  voice  of  the  lad 
where  he  is. 

18  Arise,  lift  up  the  lad,  and 
hold  him  in  thine  hand ;  for  I 
will  make  him  a  great  nation. 

19  And   God  opened   her  eyes, 


and  she  saw  a  well  of  water ;  and 
she  went,  and  tilled  the  bottle 
with  water,  and  gave  the  lad 
drink. 

20  And  God  was  with  the  lad; 
and  he  grew,  and  dwelt  in  the 
wilderness,  and  became  an  archer. 

21  And  he  dwelt  in  the  wilder- 
ness of  Paran:  and  his  mother 
took  him  a  wife  out  of  the  land 
of  Egypt. 

Ge.25— 17  And  these  are  the  years 
of  the  life  of  Ishmael,  a  hun- 
dred and  thirty  and  seven  years: 
and  he  gave  up  the  ghost  and 
died,  and  was  gathered  unto  his 
people. 

Ge.  26—1  And  there  was  a  famine 
in  theland,  besidesthelirst  famine 
that  was  in  the  days  of  Abraham. 
And  Isaac  went  unto  Abimelech 
king  of  the  Philistines  imto  Gerar. 

2  And  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
him,  and  said.  Go  not  down  into 
Egypt ;  dwell  in  the  land  which  I 
shall  tell  thee  of.  Vrs.  3-5,  p.  263. 

6  And  Isaac  dwelt  in  Gerar. 

7  And  the  men  of  the  place  asked 
him  of  his  wife;  and  he  said.  She 
is  my  sister:  for  he  feared  to  say, 
She  IS  my  wife;  lest,  said  he,  the 
men  of  the  place  should  kill  me 
for  Rebekah ;  because  she  was  fair 
to  look  upon. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
had  been  there  along  time,  that 
Abimelech  king  of  the  Philistines 
looked  out  at  a  window,  and  saw, 
and,  behold,  Isaac  was  sporting 
with  Rebekah  his  wife. 

9  And  Abimelech  called  Isaac, 
and  said.  Behold,  of  a  surety  she 
is  thy  wife:  and  how  .saidst  thou. 
She  IS  my  sister?  And  Isaac  saia 
unto  him,  Because  I  said,  Lest  I 
die  for  her. 

10  And  Abimelech  said,  What 
is  this  thou  hast  done  unto  us? 
one  of  the  people  might  lightly 
have  lain  with  thy  wife,  and  thou 
shouldest  have  brought  guilti- 
ness upon  us. 

11  And  Abimelech  charged  all 
his  people,  saying.  He  that  touch- 
eth  this  man  or  his  wife  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death. 

12  Then  Isaac  sowed  in  that 
land,  and  received  in  the  same 

Eear    a    hundredfold:    and    the 
ORD  blessed  him. 

13  And  the  man  waxed  great, 
and  went  forward,  and  grew  until 
he  became  very  great: 

14  For  he  had  possession  of  flocks. 


337 


aud  possession  of  herds,  and  great 
store  of  servants:  and  the  Philis- 
tines envied  him. 

REBEKAH  AT  THE  WELL. 


Marriage  of  Isaac  and  Rebekah. 

Ge.  24 — 2  And  Abraham  said  un- 
to his  eldest  servant  of  his  liouse, 
that  ruled  over  all  that  he  had. 
Put,  I  pray  thee,  thy  hand  under 
my  thigh: 

3  And  I  will  make  thee  swear  by 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  heaven,  and 
the  God  of  the  eartli,  that  thou 
shalt  not  take  a  wife  unto  my  son 
of  the  daughters  of  the  Canaanites, 
among  whom  I  dwell: 

4  But  thou  shalt  go  vmto  my 
country,  and  to  my  kindred,  and 
take  a  wife  unto  my  son  Isaac. 

9  And  the  servant  put  his  hand 
under  the  thigh  of  Abraham  his 
master,  and  sware  to  him  concern- 
ing that  matter. 

10  And  the  servant  took  ten 
camels  of  the  camels  of  his  master, 
and  departed ;  for  all  the  goods  of 
his  master  were  in  his  hand :  and 
he  arose,  and  went  to  Mesopota- 
mia, unto  the  city  of  Nahor. 

11  And  he  made  his  camels  to 
kneel  down  without  the  city  by  a 
well  of  water  at  the  time  of  the 
evening,  even  the  time  that  wom- 
en go  out  to  draw  water. 

15  And,  behold,  Rebekah  came 
out,  who  was  born  to  Bethuel,  son 
of  Milcali,  the  wife  of  Nahor, 
Abraham 's'brother,  with  her  pitch- 
er upon  her  shoulder. 

16  And  the  dam.sel  was  very  fair 
to  look  upon,  a  virgin,  neither  had 
any  man  Known  her:  and  she  went 
down  to  the  well,  and  filled  her 
pitcher,  and  came  up. 

17  And  the  servant  ran  to  meet 
her,  and  said.  Let  me,  I  pray  thee, 
drink  a  little  water  of  thy  pitcher. 

18  And  she  said.  Drink,  my  lord : 
and  she  hasted,  and  let  down  her 
pitcher  upon  her  hand,  and  gave 
him  drink. 

19  And  when  she  had  done  giv- 
ing him  drink,  she  said,  I  will 
draw  water  for  thy  camels  also, 
until  they  have  done  drinking. 

20  And  she  hasted,  and  emptied 
her  pitcher  into  the  trough,  and 
ran  again  unto  the  well  to  draw 
water,  and  drew  for  all  his  camels. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the 
camels  had  done  drinking,  that 


the  man  took  a  golden  earring  of 
half  a  shekel  weight,  and  two 
bracelets  for  her  Yiands  of  ten 
sliekels  weight  of  gold. 

'28  And  the  damsel  ran,  and  told 
them  of  her  mother's  house  these 
things. 

29  And  Rebebah  had  a  brother, 
and  his  name  was  Laban:  and 
Laban  ran  out  unto  the  man,  unto 
the  well. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
saw  the  earring,  and  bracelets 
upon  his  sister's  hands,  and  when 
he  heard  the  words  of  Rebekah 
his  sister,  saying.  Thus  spake  the 
man  unto  me,  tliat  he  came  imto 
the  man ;  and,  behold,  he  stood 
by  the  camels  at  the  well^ 

31  And  he  said.  Come  m,  thou 
blessed  of  tlie  Lord;  wherefore 
standest  thou  without?  for  I  have 
prepared  the  house,  and  room  for 
the  camels. 

32  Aud  the  man  came  into  the 
house :  and  he  ungirded  his  cam- 
els, and  gave  straw  and  proven- 
der for  the  camels,  and  water  to 
wash  his  feet,  and  the  men's  feet 
that  were  with  him. 

33  And  there  was  set  meat  be- 
fore him  to  eat:  but  he  said,  I 
will  not  eat,  mitil  I  have  told  mine 
errand.    And  he  said,  Speak  on. 

34  And  he  said,  I  am  Abraham's 
servant. 

37  And  my  master  made  me 
swear,  saying.  Thou  shalt  not 
take  a  wife  to  my  son  of  the 
daughters  of  the  Canaanites,  in 
whose  land  I  dwell: 

38  But  thou  shalt  go  unto  my 
father's  house,  and  to  my  kindred, 
aud  take  a  wife  unto  my  son. 

50  Then  Laban  and  Bethuel  an- 
swered and  said,  The  thing  pro- 
ceedeth  from  the  Lord:  we  can- 
not speak  unto  thee  bad  or  good. 

51  Behold,  Rebekah  is  before 
thee ;  take  her,  and  go,  and  let  her 
be  thy  master's  soirs  wife,  as  the 
Lord  hath  spoken. 

53  And  the  servant  brought 
forth  jewels  of  silver,  and  jewels 
of  gold,  and  raiment,  and  gave 
them  to  Rebekah:  he  gave  also  to 
her  brother  and  to  her  mother 
precious  things. 

54  And  they  did  eat  aud  drink, 
he  and  the  men  that  were  with 
him,  and  tarried  all  night;  and 
they  rose  up  in  the  morning,  and 
he  said,  Send  me  away  unto  my 
master. 


338 


55  And  her  brother  and  her 
mother  said,  Let  the  damsel  abide 
with  us  a  few  days,  at  the  least 
ten ;  after  that  she  shall  go. 

56  And  he  said  unto  them,  Hin- 
der me  not,  seeing  the  Lord  hath 
prospered  my  way ;  send  me  away 
that  I  may  go  to  my  master. 

57  And  they  said,We  will  call  the 
damsel,  and  inquire  at  her  mouth. 

58  And  they  called  Rebekah,and 
said  unto  her,  Wilt  thoii  go  with 
this  man?  And  she  said,  I  will  go. 

59  And  they  sent  away  Rebekah 
their  sister,  and  her  nurse^and 
Abraham's  servant,  and  his  men. 

60  And  they  blessed  Rebekah, 
and  said  unto  her.  Thou  art  our 
sister ;  be  tliou  the  mother  of  thou- 
sands of  millions,  and  let  thy  seed 
possess  the  gate  of  those  which 
liate  them. 

61  And  Rebekah  arose,  and  her 
damsels,  and  they  rode  upon  the 
camels,  and  followed  the  man: 
and  the  sei'vant  took  Rebekah, 
and  went  his  way, 

62  And  Isaac  came  from  the  way 
of  the  well  Lahai-roi;  for  he 
dwelt  in  the  south  country. 

63  And  Isaac  went  oiit  to  medi- 
tate in  the  field  at  the  eventide : 
and  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw, 
and,  behold,  the  camels  were 
coming. 

64  And  Rebekah  lifted  up  her 
eyes,  and  when  she  saw  Isaac,  she 
lighted  off  the  camel. 

65  For  she  had  said  imto  the 
servant.  What  man  is  this  that 
walketh  in  the  field  to  meet  us? 
And  the  servant  had  said.  It  is 
my  master:  therefore  she  took  a 
vail,  and  covered  herself. 

66  And  the  servant  told  Isaac  all 
things  that  he  had  done. 

67  And  Isaac  brought  her  into 
his  mother  Sarah's  tent,  and  Re- 
bekah became  his  wife;  and  he 
loved  her:  and  Isaac  was  com- 
forted after  his  mother's  death. 

BIRTH  OF  ESAU  AND  JACOB. 


"Yet  I  loved  Jacob  and  I  hated 
Esau,"— a  specimen  of  God's  in- 
tense love  and  bitter  hatred. 
JEsau  sold  his  birthright. 

Jacob,  by  his  mother's  advice, 
deceived  his  father  and  obtained 
his  brother  Esau's  blessing.  Yet 
Isaac  blessed  Esau  with  a  bless- 
ing equally  as  good  as  Jacob's. 


Ge.  25—20  And  Isaac  was  forty 
years  old  when  he  took  Rebekah 
to  wife,  the  daughter  of  Bethuel 
the  Syrian  of  Fadan-aram,  the 
sister  to  Laban  the  Syrian. 

21  And  Isaac  entreated  the  Lord 
for  his  wife,  because  she  was  bar- 
ren :  and  the  Lord  was  entreated 
of  him,  and  Rebekah  his  wife  con- 
ceived. 

22  And  the  children  struggled 
together  within  her;  and  she  said. 
If  it  be  so,  why  am  I  thus?  And 
she  went  to  inquire  of  the  Lord. 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto  her. 
Two  nations  are  in  thy  womb, 
and  two  manner  of  people  shall  be 
separated  from  thy  bowels;  and 
the  one  people  shall  be  stronger 
than  the  other  people;  and  the 
elder  shall  serve  the  younger. 

(Ro.  9-10  And  when  Rebecca  al- 
so had  conceived  by  one,  even  by 
our  father  Isaac, 

11  (For  the  children  being  not 
yet  bom,  neither  having  done  any 
good  or  evil,  that  the  purpose  of 
God  according  to  election  might 
stand,  not  of  works,  but  of  him 
that  calleth ;) 

12  It  was  said  unto  her,  The  el- 
der shall  serve  the  younger. 

13  As  it  is  written,  Jacob  have  I 
loved,  but  Esau  have  I  hated. 

Mai.  1—1  The  hnrden  of  the 
word  of  the  Lord  to  Israel  by 
Malachi. 

2  I  have  loved  you,  saith  the 
Lord.  Yet  ye  say.  Wherein  hast 
thou  loved  us?  Was  not  Esau  Ja- 
cob's brother?  saith  the  Lord: 
yet  I  loved  Jacob, 

3  And  I  hated  Esau,  and  laid  his 
mountains  and  his  heritage  waste 
for  the  dragons  of  the  wilder- 
ness.) 

24  And  when  her  days  to  be  de- 
livei-ed  were  fulfilled,  behold, 
there  were  twuis  in  her  womb. 

25  And  the  first  came  out  red, 
all  over  like  a  hau-y  garment; 
and  they  called  his  name  Esau. 

26  And  after  that  came  his 
brother  out,  and  his  hand  t-ook 
hold  on  Esau's  heel ;  and  his  name 
was  called  Jacob:  and  Isaac  was 
tlireescore  years  old  when  she 
bare  them. 

(Ho.  12—3  He  took  his  brother 
by  the  heel  in  the  womb,  and  by 
his  strength  he  had  power  with 
God: 

4  Yea,  he  had  power  over  the 
angel,  and  prevailed;   he  wept, 


339 


and  made  supplication  unto  him: 
he  found  him  in  Beth-el, and  there 
he  spake  with  us.) 

27  And  the  boys  grew:  and  Esau 
was  a  cunning  hunter,  a  man  of 
the  field;  and  Jacob  was  a  plain 
man,  dwelling  in  tents. 

28  And  Isaac  loved  Esau,  be- 
cause he  did  eat  of  his  venison: 
but  Rebekah  loved  Jacob. 

29 1[  And  Jacob  sold  pottage:  and 
Esau  came  from  the  field,  and  he 
was  faint : 

30  And  Esau  said  to  Jacob,  Feed 
me,  I  pray  thee,  with  that  same 
red  pottage ;  fori  am  faint :  there- 
fore was  his  name  called  Edom. 

31  And  Jacob  said,  Sell  me  this 
day  thy  birthright. 

32  And  Esau  said.  Behold,  I  am 
at  the  point  to  die:  and  what 
profit  shall  this  birthright  do  to 
me? 

33  And  Jacob  said.  Swear  to  me 
this  day ;  and  he  sware  vmto  him : 
and  he  sold  his  bu-thright  imto 
Jacob. 

34  Then  Jacob  gave  Esau  bread 
and  pottage  of  Tentiles;  and  he 
did  eat  and  drmk,  and  rose  up, 
and  went  his  way.  Thus  Esau 
despised  his  birthright. 

(He.  12—16  Lest  there  be  any  for- 
nicator, or  profane  per.son,  as  Esau, 
who  for  one  morsel  of  meat  sold 
his  birthright. 

17  For  ye  know  how  that  after- 
ward, when  he  would  have  inher- 
ited the  blessing,  he  was  rejected : 
for  he  found  no  place  of  repent- 
ance, though  besought  it  careful- 
ly with  tears. 

Esau  was  not  rejected,  Jacob  by 
fraud  obtained  the  blessing.  See 
the  following  chapter.) 

Ge.  27—1  And  it  came  to  pass, 
that  when  Isaac  was  old,  and  his 
eyes  were  dim,  so  that  he  could 
not  see,  he  called  Esau  his  eldest 
son,  and  said  unto  him.  My  son : 
and  he  said  unto  him,  Behold 
here  am  I. 

2  And  he  said.  Behold  now,  I  am 
old,  I  know  not  the  day  of  my 
death : 

3  Now  therefore  take,  1  pray 
thee,  thy  weapons,  thy  quiver  and 
thy  bow,  and  go  out  to  the  field, 
and  take  me  some  venison ; 

4  And  make  me  savoury  meat, 
such  as  I  love,  and  bring  it  to  me, 
that  I  may  eat;  that  my  soul  may 
bless  thee  before  I  die. 


5  And  Rebekah  heard  when 
Isaac  spake  to  Esau  his  sou.  And 
Esau  went  to  the  held  to  hunt  for 
venison,  and  to  bring  it. 

6  And  Rebekah  spake  unto 
Jacob  her  son,  saying.  Behold,  I 
beard  thy  father  speak  unto  Esau 
thy  brother,  saying, 

7  Bring  me  venison,  and  make 
me  savom-y  meat,  that  I  may  eat, 
and  bless  thee  before  the  Lord 
before  my  death. 

8  Now  thei-efore,  my  son,  obey 
my  voice  according  to  that  whic^ 
I  command  thee. 

9  Go  now  to  the  flock,  and  fetch 
me  from  thence  two  good  kids  of 
the  goats;  and  I  will  make  them 
savoury  meat  for  thy  father,  such 
as  he  loveth: 

10  And  thou  shalt  bring  it  to  thy 
father,  that  he  may  eat,  and  that 
he  mayblesstbee  before  his  death. 

11  And  Jacob  said  to  Rebekah 
his  mother.  Behold,  Esau  my 
ln'other  is  a  hairy  man,  and  I  am  a 
smooth  man: 

12  My  father  peradventure  will 
feel  me,  and  I  shall  seem  to  him 
as  a  deceiver;  and  I  shall  bring 
a  curse  upon  me,  and  not  a  bless- 
ing. 

13  And  his  mother  said  unto 
him.  Upon  me  be  thy  curse,  my 
son :  only  obey  my  voice,  and  go 
fetch  me  them. 

14  And  he  went,  and  fetched, 
and  brought  them  to  his  mother: 
and  his  mother  made-  savoury 
meat,  such  as  his  father  loved. 

15  And  Rebekah  took  goodly 
raiment  of  her  eldest  son  Esau, 
which  were  with  her  in  the  house, 
and  put  them  upon  Jacob  her 
younger  son : 

16  And  she  put  the  skins  of  the 
kids  of  the  goats  upon  his  hands, 
and  upon  the  smooth  of  his  neck  : 

17  And  she  gave  the  savoury 
meat  and  the  oread,  which  she 
had  prepared,  into  the  hand  of 
her  sou  .Jacob. 

18  And  he  came  unto  his  father, 
and  said.  My  father:  and  he  said, 
Here  am  I;  who  art  thou,  my 
son? 

19  And  Jacob  said  unto  his  fa- 
ther, I  am  Esau  thy  firstborn ;  I 
have  done  according  as  thou 
badest  me:  arise,  I  pray  thee,  sit 
and  eat  of  my  venison,  that  thy 
soul  may  bless  me. 

20  And  Isaac  said  unto  his  son. 
How  is  it  that  thou  hast  found  it 
so  quickly,  my  son?  And  he  said. 


340 


Because  the  Lord  thy  God  brought 
it  to  me. 

21  And  Isaac  said  unto  Jacob, 
Come  near,  I  pray  thee,  that  1 
may  feel  thee,  my  son,  whether 
thou  be  my  very  son  Esau  or  not. 

22  And  Jacob  went  near  imto 
Isaac  his  father;  and  he  felt  him, 
and  said.  The  voice  is  Jacob's 
voice,  but  the  hands  are  the  hands 
of  Esau. 

25  And  he  said.  Bring  it  near  to 
me,  and  I  will  eat  of  my  son's 
venison,  that  my  soul  may  bless 
thee.  And  he  brought  it  near  to 
him,  and  he  did  eat:  and  he 
brought  him  wine,  and  he  drank. 

_2G  And  his  father  Issac  said  unto 
him.  Come  near  now.  and  kiss  me, 
my  son. 

27  And  he  came  near,  and  kissed 
him:  and  he  smelled  the  smell  of 
his  raiment,  and  blessed  him.  and 
said.  See,  the  smell  of  my  son  is 
as  the  smell  of  a  held  which  the 
Lord  liath  blessed: 

28  Therefore  God  give  thee  of 
the  dew  of  heaven,  and  the  fat- 
ness of  the  earth,  and  plenty  of 
com  and  wine : 

29  Let  people  serve  thee,  and 
nations  bow  down  to  thee:  be 
lord  over  thy  brethren,  and  let 
thy  mother's  sons  bow  down  to 
thee:  cursed  be  every  one  that 
curseth  thee,  and  blessed  be  he 
that  blesseth  thee. 

30  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon 
as  Isaac  had  made  an  end  of  bless- 
ing Jacob,  and  Jacob  was  yet 
scarce  gone  out  from  the  presence 
of  his  father,  that  Esau  his  broth- 
er came  in  from  his  hunting. 

31  And  he  also  had  made  sa- 
voury meat,  and  brought  it  unto 
his  father,  and  said  unto  his  fa- 
ther, Let  my  father  arise,  and  eat 
of  his  son's  venison,  that  thy  soul 
may  bless  me. 

32  And  Isaac  his  father  said  unto 
him,  Who  art  thou?  And  he  said, 
I  am  thy  sou,  thy  firstborn,  Esau. 

33  And  Isaac  trembled  very  ex- 
ceedingly, and  said.  Who?  where 
is  he  that  hath  taken  venison,  and 
brought  it  me,  and  1  have  eaten  of 
all  before  thou  camest,  and  have 
blessed  him?  yea,  and  he  shaJl  be 
blessed. 

34  And  when  Esau  heard  the 
words  of  his  father,  he  cried  with 
a  great  and  exceeding  bitter  cry, 
and  said  unto  his  father.  Bless  me, 
even  me  also,  O  my  father. 


35  And  he  said.  Thy  brother 
came  with  subtilty,  and  hath 
taken  away  thy  blessmg. 

36  And  he  said.  Is  not  he  rightly 
named  Jacob?  for  he  hath  sup- 
planted me  these  two  times:  be 
took  away  my  birthright;  and, 
behold,  now  he  hath  taken  away 
my  blessing. 

38  And  Esau  said.  Hath  thou 
but  one  blessing,  my  father?  bless 
me.  even  me.  And  Esau  lifted 
up  his  voice,  and  wept. 

39  And  Isaac  his  father  answered 
and  said  unto  him,  Bebold,  thy 
dwelling  shall  be  the  fatness  of 
the  earth,  and  of  the  dew  of 
heaven  from  above ; 

40  And  by  tby  sword  shalt  thou 
live,  and  shalt  serve  thy  brother: 
and  it  shall  come  to  pass  when 
thou  shalt  have  the  dominion, 
that  thou  shalt  break  bis  yoke 
from  off  thy  neck. 

41  And  Esau  hated  Jacob  be- 
cause of  the  blessing  wherewith 
his  father  blessed  him:  and  Esau 
said.  The  days  of  mourning  for 
my  father  are  at  hand ;  then  will 
I  slay  my  brother  Jacob. 

42  And  these  words  of  Esau  her 
elder  son  were  told  to  Rebekah : 
and  she  sent  and  called  Jacob  her 
younger  son,  and  said  unto  him. 
Behold,  thy  brother  Esau,  as 
touching  thee,  doth  comfort  him- 
self, purposing  to  kill  thee. 

43  Now  therefore,  my  son,  obey 
my  voice;  and  arise,  tlee  thou  to 
Laban  my  brother  to  Haran ; 

44  And  tarry  with  him  a  few 
days,  until  thy  brother's  fiu-y  turn 
aw  ay ; 

45  Until  thy  brother's  anger  turn 
away  from  thee,  and  he  forget 
that  which  thou  hast  done  to  him : 
then  I  will  send,  and  fetch  thee 
from  thence:  why  should  I  be  de- 
prived also  of  you  both  in  one 
day? 

For  fear  of  Esau,  Isaac  sent  Jacob 
to  Padan-aram,  to  his  uncle  Laban, 
his  mother's  brother.  Jacob  mar- 
ried Laban's  two  daughters,  Leah 
and  Rachel,  and  became  very 
rich  by  his  peculiar  method  of 
raising  cattle. 

Ge.  28—1  And  Isaac  called  Jacob, 
and  blessed  him.and  charged  him, 
and  said  wiito  him.  Thou  shalt 
not  take  a  wife  of  the  daughters 
of  Canaan. 


341 


2  Arise,  go  to  Padan-aram.  to 
the  house  of  Bethuel  thy  motlier's 
father;  and  take  thee  a  wife  from 
thence  of  the  daughters  of  Labau 
thy  mother's  brother. 

Ge.  29—1  Then  Jacob  went  on 
his  journey,  and  came  into  the 
land  of  the  people  of  the  east. 

2  And  he  looKed,  and  behold  a 
wellinthefield,and,lo, there  were 
three  tlocks  of  sheep  lying  by  it ; 
for  out  of  that  well  they  watered 
the  docks:  and  a  great  stone  was 
upon  the  well's  mouth. 

9  And  Rachel  came  with  her 
father's  sheep:  forshe  kept  them. 

10  And  when  Jacob  saw  Rachel 
the  daughter  of  Laban,  and  the 
sheep  of  Laban  his  mother's 
brother,  Jacob  went  near,  and 
rolled  the  stone  from  the  well's 
mouth,  and  watered  the  Hock  of 
Laban. 

11  And  Jacob  kissed  Rachel,  and 
lifted  up  his  voice,  and  wept. 

12  And  Jacob  told  Rachel  that 
he  was  her  father's  brother,  and 
that  he  was  Rebekahs  son:  and 
she  ran  and  told  her  father. 

13  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Laban  heard  the  tidings  of  Jacob 
his  sister's  son,  that  he  ran  to 
meet  him,  and  embraced  him,  and 
kissed  him,  and  brought  him  to 
his  house.  And  he  told  Laban 
all  these  things. 

14  And  Laban  said  to  him.  Sure- 
ly thou  art  my  bone  and  my  tiesh. 
And  he  abode  with  him  the  space 
of  a  month. 

15  And  Laban  said  unto  Jacob, 
Because  thovi  art  my  brother, 
shouldest  thou  therefore  serve  me 
for  nought?  tell  me,  what  shall 
thy  wages  be? 

16  And  Laban  had  two  daugh- 
ters: the  name  of  the  elder  was 
Leah,  and  the  name  of  the  young- 
er was  Rachel. 

17  Leah  was  tender  eyed;  but 
Rachel  was  beautiful  and  well 
favoured. 

18  And  Jacob  loved  Rachel ;  and 
said,  I  will  serve  thee  seven  years 
for  Rachel  thy  younger  daughter. 

19  And  Laban  said.  It  is  better 
that  I  give  her  to  thee,  than  that 
I  should  give  her  to  another  man : 
abide  with  me. 

20  And  Jacob  served  seven  years 
for  Rachel;  and  they  seemed  un- 
to him  but  a  few  days,  for  the 
love  he  had  to  her. 

21  And  Jacob  said  unto  Laban, 


Give  me  my  wife,  for  my  days  are 
fulfilled,  that  1  may  go  in  unto 
her. 

•22  And  Laban  gathered  together 
all  the  men  of  the  place,  and  made 

23  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
evening,  that  he  took  Leah  his 
daughter,  and  brought  her  to  him ; 
and  he  went  in  vmto  her. 

24  And  Laban  gave  unto  his 
daughter  Leah  Ziipah  his  maid 
for  a  handmaid. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in 
the  morning,  behold,  it  was  Leah : 
and  he  said  to  Laban,  What  is  this 
thou  has  done  unto  me?  did  not 
I  serve  with  thee  for  Rachel? 
wherefore  then  hast  thou  be- 
guiled me? 

26  And  Laban  said.  It  must  not 
be  so  done  in  our  country,  to  give 
the  younger  before  the  firstborn. 

27  Fulfil  her  week,  and  we  will 
give  thee  this  also  for  the  service 
which  thou  shalt  serve  with  me 
yet  seven  other  years. 

28  And  Jacob  did  so,  and  fulfilled 
her  week :  and  he  gave  him  Rachel 
his  daughter  to  wife  also. 

29  And  Laban  gave  to  Rachel 
his  daughter  Bilhah  his  hand- 
maid to  oe  her  maid. 

30  And  he  went  in  also  tmto  Ra- 
chel, and  he  loved  also  Rachel 
more  than  Leah,  and  served  with 
him  yet  seven  other  years. 

Ge.  30—25  And  it  came  to  passj 
that  Jacob  said  unto  Laban,  Send 
me  away,  that  I  may  go  unto 
mine  own  place,  and  to  my  coun- 
try. 

26  Give  me  my  wives  and  my 
children,  for  whom  I  have  served 
thee,  and  let  me  go:  for  thou 
knowest  my  service  which  I  have 
done  thee. 

27  And  Laban  said  unto  him;  I 
pray  thee,  if  I  have  found  favour 
in  thine  eyes,  tarry:  for  I  have 
learned  by  experience  that  the 
Lord  hath   blessed   me  for  thy 

28  And  he  said,  Appoint  me  thy 
wages,  and  I  will  give  it. 

29  And  he  said  unto  him,  1  hou 
knowest  how  I  have  served  thee, 
and  how  thv  cattle  was  with  me. 

30  For  it  was  little  which  thou 
hadst  before  1  came,  and  it  is  now 
increased  vmto  a  multitude  ;  and 
the  Lord  hath  blessed  thee  since 
my  coming:  and  now,  when  shall 
I  provide  for    mine   own   house 


342 


31  Aud  he  said.  What  shall 
I  give  thee?  And  Jacoh  said, 
Thou  Shalt  not  give  me  any 
thing:  if  thou  wilt  do  this  thing 
ior  me,  I  will  again  feed  and  keep 
thy  flock.  ,     , 

32  I  will  pass  through  all  thy 
flock  to  day  .removing  from  thence 
all  the  speckled  ana  spotted  cat- 
tle, ana  all  the  brown  cattle 
among  the  sheep,  and  the  spotted 
and  speckled  among  the  goats: 
and  of  such  shall  be  my  hire. 

33  So  shall  my  righteousness 
answer  for  me  in  time  to  come, 
when  it  shall  come  for  my  hire 
before  thy  face:  every  one  that  is 
not  speckled  and  spotted  among 
the  goats  and  brown  among  the 
sheep,  that  shall  be  counted  sto- 
len with  me. 

34  And  Laban  said.  Behold,  I 
would  it  might  be  according  to 
thv  word. 

35  And  he  removed  that  day  the 
he  goats  that  were  ringstreaked 
aud  spotted,  and  all  the  she  goats 
that  were  speckled  and  spotted, 
and  everj[  one  that  had  some 
white  in  it,  and  all  the  brown 
among  the  sheep,  and  gave  them 
into  the  hand  of  his  sons. 

36  And  he  set  three  days'  jour- 
ney betwixt  himself  and  Jacob: 
and  Jacob  fed  the  rest  of  Laban's 
flocks. 

37  And  Jacob  took  him  rods  of 
green  poplar,  aud  of  the  hazel  and 
chestnut  tree;  and  pilled  white 
streaks  in  them,  and  made  the 
white  appear  which  was  in  the 
rods. 

38  And  he  set  the  rods  which  he 
had  pilled  before  the  flocks  in  the 
gutters  in  the  watering  troughs 
when  the  flocks  came  to  drink, 
that  they  should  conceive  when 
they  came  to  drink, 

39  And  the  flocks  conceived  be- 
fore the  rods,  and  brought  forth 
cattle  ringstreaked,  specKled,  and 
spotted, 

40  And  Jacob  did  separate  the 
lambs,  and  set  the  faces  of  the 
flocks  toward  the  ringstreaked, 
and  all  the  brown  in  the  flock  of 
Laban ;  and  he  put  his  own  flocks 
by  themselves,  and  put  them  not 
unto  Laban's  cattle. 

41  And  whensover  the  stronger 
cattle  did  conceive,  Jacob  laid 
the  rods  before  the  eyes  of  the 
cattle  in  the  gutters,  that  they 
might  conceive  among  the  rods. 


42  But  when  the  cattle  were  fee- 
ble, he  put  them  not  in:  so  the 
feebler  were  Laban's,  and  the 
stronger  Jacob's. 

43  And  the  man  increased  ex- 
ceedingly, and  had  much  cattle, 
and  maidservants,  aud  menserv- 
ants,  and  camels,  and  asses. 

Jacob  leaves  Laban  to  go  to  his 
father,  Isaac,  in  the  Land  of  Ca- 
naan. 

Ge.  31—1  And  he  heard  the 
words  of  Laban's  sons,  saying,  Ja- 
cob hath  taken  away  all  that  was 
oiir  father's;  and  of  that  which 
was  our  father's  hath  he  gotten 
all  this  glory. 

2  And  Jacob  beheld  the  counte- 
nance of  Laban,  and,  behold,  it 
was  not  toward  him  as  before. 

3  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Ja- 
cob, Return  unto  the  land  of  thy 
fathers,  aud  to  thy  kindred ;  and 
I  will  be  with  thee. 

4  And  Jacob  sent  and  called 
Rachel  and  Leah  to  the  field  unto 
his  flock, 

5  And  said  unto  them,  I  see 
your  father's  countenance,  that 
It  is  not  toward  me  as  before ;  but 
the  God  of  my  father  hath  been 
with  me. 

6  And  ye  know  that  with  all  my 
power  I  have  served  your  father. 

7  And  your  father  hath  deceived 
me,  and  changed  my  wages  ten 
times ;  but  God  suffered  him  not 
to  hurt  me. 

8  If  he  said  thus.  The  speckled 
shall  be  thy  wages:  then  all  the 
cattle  bare  speckled:  and  if  he 
said  thus.  The  ringstreaked  shall 
be  thy  hire ;  then  bare  all  the  cat- 
tle ringstreaked. 

9  Thus  God  hath  taken  away 
the  cattle  of  your  father,  and  giv- 
en them  to  me. 

10  And  itcame  to  pass  at  the  time 
that  the  cattle  conceived,  that  I 
lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and  saw  in  a 
dream,  and,  behold,  the  rams 
which  leaped  upon  the  cattle 
were  ringstreaked,  speckled,  and 
grizzled. 

11  And  the  angel  of  God  spake 
unto  me  in  a  dream,  saying,  Ja- 
cob: and  I  said.  Here  am  I. 

12  And  he  said.  Lift  up  now 
thine  eves,  and  see,  all  the  rams 
which  leap  upon  the  cattle  are 
ringstreaked,  speckled,  and  griz- 
zled :  for  I  have  seen  all  that  La- 
ban doeth  unto  thee. 


343 


14  And  Rachel  and  Leah  answer- 
ed and  said  unto  him,  Is  there  yet 
any  portion  or  inheritance  for  us 
in  our  father's  hotise? 

15  Are  we  not  counted  of  him 
strangers?  for  he  hath  sold  us. 
and  hath  quite  devoured  also  our 
money. 

16  For  all  the  riches  which  God 
hath  taken  from  our  father,  that 
is  ours,  and  our  children's:  now 
then,  whatsoever  God  hath  said 
unto  thee,  do. 

17  H  Then  Jacob  rose  up,  and  set 
his  sons  and  his  wives  upon  cam- 
els; 

18  And  he  carried  away  all  his 
cattle,  and  all  his  goods  which  he 
had  gotten,  the  cattle  of  his  get- 
ting, which  he  had  gotten  in  Pa- 
dan-arain,  for  to  go  to  Isaac  his 
father  in  the  land  of  Canaan. 

20  And  Jacob  stole  away  un- 
awares to  Laban  the  Syrian,  in 
that  he  told  him  not  that  he  fled. 

21  So  he  fled  with  all  that  he 
had ;  and  he  rose  up,  and  passed 
over  the  river,  and  set  his  face 
toward  the  movmt  Gilead. 

22  And  it  was  told  Laban  on  the 
third  day,  that  Jacob  was  fled. 

23  And  betook  his  brethren  with 
him,  and  pursued  after  him  seven 
days'  journey;  and  they  overtook 
him  in  the  mount  Gilead. 

24  And  God  came  to  Laban  the 
Syrian  in  a  dream  by  night,  and 
said  unto  him.  Take  heed  that 
thou  speak  not  to  Jacob  either 
good  or  bad. 

36  H  And  Jacob  was  wroth,  and 
chode  with  Laban :  and  Jacob  an- 
swered and  said  to  Laban,  What 
is  my  trespass?  what  is  my  sin, 
that  thou  nast  so  hotly  pursued 
after  me? 

38  This  twenty  years  ha ve  I  been 
with  thee ;  thy  ewes  and  thy  she 
goats  have  not  cast  their  young, 
and  the  rams  of  thy  flock  nave  I 
not  eaten. 

39  That  which  was  torn  of  bea.sts 
I  brought  not  unto  thee ;  I  bare 
the  loss  of  it ;  of  my  hand  didst 
thou  require  it,  whether  stolen  by 
day,  or  stolen  by  niglit. 

40  Thus  I  was;  in  the  day  the 
drought  consumed  me,  and  the 
frost  by  night ;  and  my  sleep  de- 
parted from  mine  eyes. 

41  Thus  have  I  been  twenty 
years  in  tby  house :  1  served  thee 
fourteen  years  for  thy  two  daugh- 
ters, and  six  years  for  thy  cattle ; 


and  thou  hast  changed  my  wages 
ten  times. 

42  Except  the  God  of  my  father, 
the  God  of  Abraham,  and  the  fear 
of  Isaac,  had  been  with  me,  surely 
thou  hadst  sent  me  away  now 
empty.  God  hath  seen  mine  afflic- 
tion and  the  labour  of  my  hands, 
and  rebuked  thee  yesternight. 

55  And  early  in  the  morning  La- 
ban rose  up,  and  kissed  his  sous 
and  his  daughters,  and  blessed 
them:  and  Laban  departed,  and 
retm-ned  unto  his  place. 

The  pathetic  meeting  of"  Esau 
and  Jacob,  after  a  separation  of 
twenty  years. 

Ge.  32—1  And  Jacob  went  on  his 
way,  and  the  angels  of  God  met 
him. 

2  And  when  Jacob  saw  them, 
he  said.  This  is  God's  host:  and 
he  called  the  name  of  that  place 
Mahanaim. 

3  And  Jacob  sent  messengers 
before  him  to  Esau  his  brother 
unto  the  land  of  Seir,  the  country 
of  Edom. 

4  And  he  commanded  them, 
saying.  Thus  shall  ye  speak  unto 
my  lord  Esau ;  Thy  servant  Jacob 
saith  thus,  I  have  sojourned  with 
Laban,  and  stayed  there  until 
now: 

5  And  I  have  oxen,  and  asses, 
flocks,  and  menservants,  and  wo- 
menservants:  and  I  have  sent  to 
tell  my  lord,  that  I  may  find  grace 
in  thy  sight. 

611  And  the  messengers  returned 
to  Jacob,  saying.  We  came  to  thy 
brother  Esau,  and  also  he  cometh 
to  meet  thee,  and  four  hundred 
men  with  him. 

7  Then  Jacob  was  greatly  afraid 
and  distressed:  and  he  divided 
the  people  that  was  with  him,  and 
the  flocks,  and  herds,  and  the 
camels,  into  two  bauds; 

8  And  said.  If  Esau  come  to  the 
one  company,  and  smite  it,  then 
tlie  other  company  which  is  left 
shall  escape. 

9  IF  And  Jacob  said,  O  God  of 
my  father  Abraham,  and  God  of 
my  father  Isaac,  the  Lord  which 
saidst  unto  me.  Return  unto  thy 
country,  and  to  thy  kindred,  and 
I  will  deal  well  with  thee: 

10  I  am  not  worthy  of  the  least 
of  all  the  mercies,  and  of  all  the 
truth,  which  thou  hast  shewed 
unto  thy  servant;  for  with  my 


344 


staff  I  passed  over  this  Jordan; 
and  now  1  am  become  two  bands. 
11  Deliver  me,  1  pray  thee,  from 
the  hand  of  my  brother,  from  tlie 
hand  of  Esau:  for  I  fear  him,  lest 
he  will  come  and  smite  me,  and 
the  mother  with  the  children. 

13  1  And  he  lodged  there  that 
same  night;  and  took  of  that 
wliich  came  to  his  hand  a  present 
for  Esau  his  brother ; 

14  Two  hundred  she  goats  and 
twenty  lie  goats,  two  hundred 
ewes  and  twenty  rams, 

15  Thirty  milch  camels  with 
their  colts,  forty  kine  and  ten 
bulls,  twenty  she  asses  and  ten 
foals. 

16  And  he  delivered  tliem  into 
the  hand  of  his  servants,  every 
drove  by  themselves;  and  said 
unto  his  servants.  Pass  over  be- 
fore me,  and  put  a  space  betwixt 
drove  and  drove. 

17  And  he  commanded  the  fore- 
most, saying,  When  Esau  my 
brother  meeteth  thee,  and  asketh 
thee,  saying.  Whose  art  thou?  and 
whither  goest  thou?  and  whose 
are  these  before  thee? 

18  Then  thou  slialt  say.  They  be 
thy  servant  Jacob's;  it  is  a  pres- 
ent sent  unto  my  lord  Esau. 

20  And  say  ye  moreover.  Behold, 
thy  servant  Jacob  is  behind  us. 
J"or  he  said,  I  will  appease  him 
with  the  present  that  goeth  be- 
fore me,  and  afterward  I  will  see 
his  face;  peradventure  he  will 
accept  of  me. 

21  bo  went  the  present  over  be- 
fore him.    p.  492. 

Ge.  33—1  And  Jacob  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  and  looked,  and,  behold 
Esau  came,  and  with  him  four 
hmidred  men.  And  he  divided 
the  children  unto  Leah,  and  unto 
Rachel,  and  unto  the  two  hand- 
maids. 

2  And  he  put  the  handmaids 
and  their  children  foremost,  and 
Leah  and  her  children  after,  and 
Kachel  and  Joseph  hindermost. 

3  And  he  passed  over  before 
them,  and  bowed  himself  to  the 
ground  seven  times,  until  he  came 
iiear  to  his  brother. 

4  And  Esau  rau  to  meet  him, 
and  embraced  him,  and  fell  on  his 
neck,  and  kissed  him:  and  they 
wept. 

5  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
saw  the  women  and  the  children, 
and  said.  Who  are  those  with 
thee?    And  he  said.  The  children 


which  God  hath  graciously  given 
thy  servant. 

6  Then  the  handmaidens  came 
near,  they  and  their  children,  and 
they  bowed  themselves. 

7  And  Leah  also  with  her  chil- 
dren came  near,  tod  bowed  them- 
selves: and  after  came  Joseph 
near  and  Rachel,  and  they  bowed 
themselves. 

8  And  he  said.  What  meanest 
thou  by  all  this  drove  which  I 
met?  And  he  said.  These  are  to 
find  grace  in  the  sight  of  my  lord, 

9  And  Esau  said,  I  have  enough, 
my  brother;  keep  that  thou  hast 
unto  thyself. 

10  And  Jacob  said.  Nay,  I  pray 
thee,  if  now  I  have  found  grace  in 
thy  sight,  then  receive  my  present 
at  my  hand :  for  therefore  I  have 
seen  thy  face,  as  though  I  had  seen 
the  face  of  God,  and  thou  wast 
pleased  with  me. 

11  Take,  I  pray  thee,  my  blessing 
that  is  brought  to  thee;  because 
God  hath  dealt  graciously  with 
me,  and  because  1  have  enough. 
And  he  urged  him,  and  he  took 
it. 

12  And  he  said.  Let  us  take  our 
journey,  and  let  us  go,  and  I  will 
go  before  thee. 

13  And  he  said  unto  him.  My 
lord  knoweth  that  the  children 
are  tender,  and  the  flocks  and 
herds  with  young  are  with  me; 
and  if  men  should  overdrive  them 
one  day,  all  the  flock  will  die. 

14  Let  my  lord,  I  pray  thee,  pass 
over  before  his  servant ;  and  I  will 
lead  on  softly,  according  as  the 
cattle  that  goeth  before  me  and 
the  children  DC  able  to  endure,  un- 
til I  come  unto  my  lord  unto  Seh. 

15  And  Esau  said.  Let  me  now 
leave  with  thee  some  of  the  folk 
that  are  with  nie.  And  he  said. 
What  needeth  it?  let  me  find 
grace  in  the  sight  of  my  lord. 

16  IT  So  Esau  returned  that  day 
on  his  way  unto  Seir. 

17  And  Jacob  jom-neyed  to  Suo- 
cotli,  and  built  him  a  house,  and 
made  booths  for  his  cattle. 

18  IT  And  Jacob  came  to  Shalem, 
a  city  of  Shechem,  which  is  in  the 
land  of  Canaan,  when  he  came 
from  Padan-arani;  and  pitched 
his  tent  before  the  city. 

19  And  he  bought  a  parcel  of  a 
field,  where  he  had  spread  his 
tent,  at  the  hand  of  the  children 
of  Hamor,  Shechem's  father,  for 
a  hundred  pieces  of  money. 


SIS 


Dinah  Jacob's  daughter,  rav- 
ished by  Shechem. 

Ge.  34—1  And  Dinah  the  daugh- 
ter of  Leah,  which  she  bare  unto 
Jacob,  went  out  to  see  the  daugh- 
ters of  the  land. 

2  And  when  Shechem  the  son  of 
Hamor  the  Hivite,  prince  of  the 
country,  saw  her,  he  took  her,  and 
lay  with  her,  and  defiled  her. 

11  And  Shechem  said  unto  her 
father  and  unto  her  brethren,  Let 
me  find  grace  in  your  eyes,  and 
what  ye  shall  say  unto  me  I  will 
give. 

12  Ask  me  never  so  much  dowry 
and  gift,  and  I  will  give  according 
as  ye  shall  say  unto  me:  but  give 
me  the  damsel  to  wife. 

14  And  they  said.  We  cannot  do 
this  thing,  to  give  our  sister  to 
one  that  is  uncircumcised ;  for 
that  were  a  reproach  unto  us: 

15  But  in  this  will  we  consent 
unto  you:  If  ye  will  be  as  we  be, 
that  every  male  of  you  be  circum- 
cisGcl ' 

16  Then  will  we  give  our  daugh- 
ters unto  yoii,  and  we  will  take 
your  daughters  to  us,  and  we  will 
dwell  with  you,  and  we  will  be- 
come one  people. 

20  And  Hamor  and  Shechem  his 
son  came  unto  the  gate  of  their 
city,  and  communed  with  the 
men  of  their  city. 

24  And  unto  Hamor  and  unto 
Shechem  his  sou  hearkened  all 
that  went  out  of  the  gate  of  his 
city ;  and  every  male  was  circum- 

ciSGQ 

25  And  on  the  third  day,  when 
they  were  sore,  two  of  the  sons  of 
Jacob,  Simeon  and  Levi,  Dinah's 
brethren,took  each  man  hissword, 
and  came  upon  the  city,  and  slew 
all  the  males. 

26  And  they  slew  Hamor  and 
Shechem  his  son  with  the  edge  of 
the  sword,  and  took  DLuah  out 
of  Shechem's  house,  and  went 
out. 

27  The  sons  of  Jacob  came  upon 
the  slain,  and  spoiled  the  city,  be- 
cause they  had  defiled  their  sister. 

28  They  took  their  sheep,  and 
their  oxen,  and  their  asses,  and 
that  which  was  in  the  city,  and 
that  which  was  in  the  field, 

29  And  all  their  wealth,  and  all 
theii-  little  ones,  and  their  wives 
took  they  captive,  and  spoiled 
even  all  tnat  was  in  the  house. 


Names  of  Jacob's  twelve  sons 
(and  one  daughter  Dinah,  see  this 
page!  Ruben,histirst born, defiled 
his  father's  bed,  and  Jacob  con- 
demned him  for  so  doing. 

Ge.  35—21  And  Israel  journeyed, 
and  spread  his  tent  beyond  the 
tower  of  Edar. 

22  And  v/hen  Israel  dwelt  in  that 
land,  Reuben  went  and  lay  with 
Bilhah  his  f  ather'sconcubine :  and 
Israel  heard  it.  Now  the  sons  of 
Jacob  were  twelve: 

•n  The  sons  of  Leah;  Ruben, 
Jacob's  firstborn,  and  Simeon, 
and  Levi.aiid  Judah.and  Issachar, 
and  Zebulun: 

24  The  sons  of  Rachel ;  Joseph, 
and  Benjamin: 

25  And  the  sons  of  Bilhah,  Ra- 
chel's handmaid;  Dan,  and  Naph- 
tali: 

26  And  the  sons  of  Zilpah,  Leah's 
handmaid ;  Gad.and Asher.  These 
are  the  sons  of  Jacob,  which  were 
bom  to  him  in  Padan-aram.    p.  42. 

Ge.  49—3  Reuben,  thou  art  my 
firstborn,  my  might,  and  the  be- 
ginning of  my  strength,  the  ex- 
cellency of  dignity,  and  the  ex- 
cellency of  power : 

4  Unstable  as  water,  thou  shalt 
not  excel;  because  thou  wentest 
up  to  thy  father's  bed;  then  de- 
tiledst  thou  it :  he  went  up  to  my 
couch. 

Er  and  Onan  slain  by  the  Lord ; 
Judah  and  Tamar ;  Pharez  the  bas- 
tard, through  whom  Luke  traced 
the  genealogy  of  Christ,  Lu.  3.  33. 
p.  500;  De,  23.  2,  p.  81. 

Ge.  38—6  And  Judah  took  a  wife 
for  Er  his  firstborn,  whose  name 
was  Tamar. 

7  And  Er,  Judah's  firstborn,  was 
wicked  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord  ; 
and  the  Lord  slew  him. 

8  And  Judah  said  unto  Onan, 
Go  in  unto  thy  brother's  wife, 
and  marry  her,  and  raise  up  seed 
to  thy  brother. 

9  And  Onan  knew  that  the  seed 
should  not  be  his;  and  it  came  to 
pass,  when  he  went  in  unto  his 
brother's  wife,  that  he  spilled  it 
on  the  ground,  lest  that  he  should 
give  seed  to  his  brother. 

10  And  the  thing  which  he  did 
displeased  the  Lord:  wherefore 
he  slew  him  also. 

i     11  Then  said  Judah  to  Tamar  his 


346 


daughter  in  law,  Remain  a  widow 
at  thy  father's  house,  till  Shelah 
my  son  be  grown : 

13  And  it  was  told  Tamar,  say- 
ing. Thy  father  in  law  goeth  up 
to  Timnath  to  shear  his  sheep. 

14  And  she  put  her  widow's  gar- 
ments off,  and  sat  in  an  open 
place,  which  is  by  the  way  to 
Timnath;  for  she  saw  that  she- 
lah was  grown,  and  she  was  not 
given  unto  him  to  wife. 

15  When  Judah  saw  her,  he 
thought  her  to  be  a  harlot;  be- 
cause she  had  covered  her  face. 

16  And  he  said.  Go  to,  I  pray 
thee,  let  me  come  in  unto  thee ; 
(for  he  knew  not  that  she  was  his 
daughter  in  law:)  and  she  said. 
What  wilt  thou  give  me? 

17  And  he  said,  I  will  send  thee 
a  kid  from  the  tiock.  And  she 
said,  Wilt  thou  give  me  a  pledge, 
till  thou  send  it? 

18  And  he  said.  What  pledge 
shall  I  give  thee?  And  she  said. 
Thy  signet,  and  thy  bracelets, 
and  thy  staff  that  is  in  thine 
hand.  And  he  gave  it  her,  and 
came  in  vuito  her,  and  she  con- 
ceived by  him. 

20  And  Judah  sent  the  kid  bv 
the  hand  of  his  friend  the  Adul- 
lamite,  to  receive  his  pledge  from 
the  woman's  hand:  but  he  found 
her  not. 

24  About  three  months  after, 
that  it  was  told  Judah,  saying, 
Tamar  thy  daughter  in  law  hath 
played  the  harlot ;  and  also,  be- 
hold, she  is  with  child  by  whore- 
dom. And  Judah  said.  Bring  her 
forth,  and  let  her  be  burnt. 

25  When  she  was  brought  forth, 
she  sent  to  her  father  in  law,  say- 
ing. By  the  man, whose  these  are, 
am  1  with  child:  and  she  said. 
Discern,  I  pray  thee,  whose  are 
these,  the  signet,  and  bracelets, 
and  staff. 

26  And  Judah  acknowledged 
them,  and  said.  She  hath  been 
more  righteous  than  I;  because 
that  I  gave  her  not  to  Shelah  my 
son.  And  he  knew  her  again  no 
more. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
time  of  her  travail,  that,  behold, 
twins  were  in  her  womb. 

28  And  when  she  travailed,  one 
put  out  his  hand:  and  the  mid- 
wife took  and  bound  upon  his 
hand  a  scarlet  thread,  saying, 
This  came  out  first. 


29  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
drew  back  his  hand,  that,  behold, 
his  brother  came  out:  and  she 
said.  How  hast  thou  broken  forth? 
this  breach  be  upon  thee :  there- 
fore hisnajne  was  called  Pliarez. 

30  And  afterward  came  out  his 
brother,  that  had  the  scarlet 
thread  upon  his  hand:  and  his 
name  was  called  Zarah. 

Joseph  sold  into  Egypt  by  the 
Lord's  decree,  see  Ge.  45. 5-8, 6. 352, 
and  then  cast  into  prison.  He  in- 
terpreteth  Pharaoh's  butler's  and 
baker's  dreams. 

Ge.  37—1  And  Jacob  dwelt  in 
the  land  of  Canaan. 

2  Joseph,  being  seventeen  years 
old,  was  feeding  the  flock  with 
his  brethren;  and  Joseph  brought 
unto  his  father  their  evil  report. 

3  Now  Israel  loved  Joseph  more 
than  all  his  children,  because  he 
was  the  son  of  his  old  age:  and 
he  made  him  a  coat  of  many  col- 
ours. 

4  And  when  his  brethren  saw 
that  then-  father  loved  him  more 
than  all  his  brethren,  they  hated 
him,  and  could  not  speak  peace- 
ably unto  him. 

6  And  he  said  unto  them,  Hear, 
I  pray  you,  this  dream  which  I 
have  dreamed : 

7  Foi',  behold,  we  were  binding 
sheaves  in  the  field,  and,  lo,  niy 
sheaf  arose,  and  also  stood  up- 
right; and,  behold,  yom-  sheaves 
stood  round  about,  and  made 
obeisance  to  my  sheaf. 

8  And  his  brethren  said  to  him, 
Shalt  thou  indeed  reign  over  us? 
or  shalt  thou  indeed  have  domin- 
ion over  us?  And  they  hated  him 
yet  the  more  for  his  dreams,  and 
for  his  words. 

9  H  And  he  dreamed  yet  another 
dream,  and  told  it  his  brethren, 
and  said.  Behold,  I  have  dreamed 
a  dream  more;  and,  behold,  the 
sun  and  the  moon  and  the  eleven 
stars  made  obeisance  to  me. 

10  And  he  told  it  to  his  father, 
and  to  his  brethren :  and  his  father 
rebuked  him,  and  said  unto  him. 
What  is  this  dream  that  thou  hast 
dreamed?  Shall  I  and  thy  moth- 
er and  thy  brethren  indeed  come 
to  bow  down  ourselves  to  thee  to 
the  earth? 

11  And  his  brethren  envied  him ; 
but  his  father  observed  the  saying. 


347 


12  And  his  brethren  went  to 
feed  their  father's  dock  in  She- 
chem. 

13  And  Israel  said  unto  Joseph, 
Do  not  thy  brethren  feed  the  tiock 
in  Shechem?  come,  and  I  will 
send  thee  unto  them. 

23  11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Joseph  was  come  unto  his  breth- 
ren, that  they  stripped  Joseph  out 
of  liis  coat,  his  coat  of  many 
colours  that  was  on  him ; 

24  And  they  took  him,  and  cast 
him  into  a  pit:  and  the  pit  was 
empty,  there  was  no  water  in  it. 

28  Then  there  passed  by  Mld- 
ianites  merchantmen ;  and  tliey 
drew  and  lifted  up  Joseph  out  of 
the  pit,  and  sold  Joseph  to  the 
Ishmaelites  for  twenty  pieces  of 
silver:  and  they  brought  Joseph 
to  Egypt. 

31  And  they  took  Joseph's  coat, 
and  killed  a  kid  of  the  goats,  and 
dipped  the  coat  in  the  blood ; 

32  And  they  brought  it  to  their 
father;  and  said,  This  have  M'e 
found:  know  not  whether  it  be 
thy  son's  coat  or  no. 

33  And  he  knew  it,  and  said.  It 
is  my  son's  coat;  an  evil  beast 
hath  devoured  him;  Joseph  is 
without  doubt  rent  in  pieces. 

34  And  Jacob  rent  his  clothes, 
and  put  sackcloth  upon  his  loins, 
and  mourned  for  his  son  numy 
days. 

Ge.  39 — 1  And  Joseph  wasbrought 
down  to  Egypt;  and  Potiphar,  an 
officer  of  Pharaoh,  captain  of  the 
guard,  bought  him  of  the  hands 
of  the  Ishmaelites. 

4  And  Joseph  found  grace  in 
his  sight:  and  he  made  him  over- 
seer over  his  house,  and  all  that 
he  had  he  put  mto  his  hand. 

5  And  the  Lord  blessed  the 
Egyptian's  house  for  Joseph's 
sake; 

6  And  Joseph  was  a  goodly  per- 
son, and  well  favoured. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
thes  things,  that  his  master's 
wife  cast  her  eyes  \ipon  Joseph, 
and  she  said.  Lie  with  me. 

8  But  he  refused,  and  said;  Be- 
hold, my  master  wotteth  not  what 
is  with  me  in  the  house,  and  he 
hath  committed  all  that  he  hath 
to  my  hand ; 

9  There  is  none  greater  in  this 
house  than  I ;  neither  hath  he 
kept  back  any  thing  from  me  but 
thee,  because  thou  art  his  wife: 


how   then  can   I    do  this  great 
wickedness,  and  sin  against  God? 

11  And  it  came  to  pa.ss  that 
Joseph  went  into  the  house  to  do 
his  business;  and  there  was  none 
of  the  men  of  the  house  within. 

12  And  she  caught  him  by  his 
garment,  saying.  Lie  with  me: 
and  he  left  his  garment  in  her 
hand,  and  tied. 

16  And  she  laid  up  his  garment 
by  her,  until  his  lord  came 
home. 

17  And  she  spake  unto  him,  say- 
ing. The  Hebrew  servant,  which 
thou  hast  brought  unto  us,  came 
in  unto  me  to  mock  me ; 

18  And,  as  I  lifted  up  my  voice 
and  cried,  he  left  his  garment 
with  me,  and  fled  out. 

19  And,  when  his  master  heard 
the  words  of  his  wife,  his  wrath 
was  kindled. 

20  And  Joseph's  master  took 
him,  and  put  him  into  the  prison, 
a  place  where  the  king's  prisoners 
were  bound. 

21  But  the  Lord  was  with 
Joseph,  and  shew-ed  him  mercy, 
and  gave  him  favour  in  the  sight 
of  the  keeper  of  the  prison. 

22  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison 
committed  to  Joseph's  hand  all 
the  prisoners  that  were  in  the 
prison. 

23  The  keeper  of  the  prison 
looked  not  to  any  thing  that  was 
under  his  hand;  because  the 
Lord  M'as  with  him,  and  that 
which  he  did,  the  Lord  made  it 
to  prosper. 

Ge.  40—2  And  Pharaoh  was 
wroth  against  two  of  his  officers, 
the  chief  of  tlie  butlers,  and 
the  chief  of  the  bakers. 

3  And  he  put  them  in  ward  in 
the  house  of  the  captain  of  the 
guard,  into  the  prison,  the  place 
where  Joseph  was  bound. 

8  And  they  said  unto  him.  We 
have  dreamed  a  dream,  and  there 
is  no  interpreter  of  it.  And  Jo- 
seph said  imto  them.  Do  not  in- 
terpretations belong  to  God?  tell 
me  them,  I  prav  you. 

9  And  the  chief  butler  told  his 
dream  to  Joseph,  and  said  to  him. 
In  my  dream,  behold,  a  vine  was 
before  me ; 

10  And  in  the  vine  were  three 
branches:  and  it  was  as  though 
it  budded,  and  her  blossoms  shot 
forth;  and  the  clusters  thereof 
brought  forth  ripe  grapes: 


348 


11  And  Pliaraoh's  cup  was  in  my 
hand:  and  I  took  the  grapes,  and 
pressed  them  into  Pharaoh's  cup, 
and  I  gave  the  cup  into  Pharaoh's 
hand. 

12  And  Joseph  said.  This  is  the 
interpretation  of  it:  Tlie  three 
branches  are  three  days: 

13  Yet  withm  three  days  shall 
Pharaoh  lift  up  thine  head,  and 
restore  thee  uuto  thy  place ;  and 
thou  shalt  deliver  Pharaoh's  cup 
into  his  hand,  after  the  former 
manner. 

14  But  think  on  me  when  it 
shall  be  well  with  thee,  and  shew 
kindness,  1  pray  thee,  unto  me, 
and  make  mention  of  me  unto 
Pharaoh,  and  bring  me  out  of  this 
house. 

16  When  the  chief  baker  saw 
that  the  interpretation  was  good, 
he  said  unto  Joseph,  I  also  was  in 
my  dream,  and,  behold,  I  had 
three  white  baskets  on  my  head : 

17  And  in  the  uppermost  basket 
there  was  of  all  manner  of  bake- 
meats  for  Pharaoh ;  and  the  birds 
did  eat  them  out  of  the  basket 
upon  my  head. 

18  And  Joseph  said.  This  is  the 
interpretation  thereof:  The  three 
baskets  are  three  days: 

19  Yet  within  three  days  shall 
Pharaoh  lift  up  thy  head  from  off 
thee,  and  shall  hang  thee  on  a 
tree ;  and  the  birds  shall  eat  thy 
flesh  from  off  thee. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass  the  third 
day,  which  was  Phai-aoh's  birth- 
day, that  he  made  a  feast  unto 
all  his  servants. 

21  And  he  restored  the  chief 
butler  unto  his  butlership  again ; 
and  he  gave  the  cup  into  Pha- 
raoh's hand : 

22  But  he  hanged  the  chief 
baker:  as  Joseph  had  interpreted 
to  them. 

23  Yet  did  not  the  chief  but- 
ler remember  Joseph. 

Pharaoh's  two  dreams:  Joseph 
interpreteth  them,  Pharaoh  ap- 
points Joseph  governor  over  all 
Egypt.  The  famine  in  Egypt: 
Jacob  sent  his  sons  into  Egypt  to 
buy  corn,  Joseph  makes  himself 
known  to  them,  and  at  his  and 
Pharaoh  s  request  Jacob  and  his 
entire  family  go  down  into  Egypt. 

Ge.  41—1  And  it  came  to  pass  at 


the  end  of  two  full  years,  that 
Pharaoh  dreamed. 

14  Then  Pharaoh  sent  and 
called  Joseph,  and  they  brought 
him  hastily  out  of  the  dungeon: 
and  he  shaved  himself,  and 
changed  his  raiment,  and  came 
in  unto  Pharaoh. 

15  And  Pharaoh  said  unto  Jo- 
seph, I  have  dreamed  a  dream, 
and  there  is  none  that  can  inter- 
pret it :  and  I  have  heard  say  of 
thee,  that  thou  canst  understand 
a  dream  to  interpret  it. 

16  And  Joseph  answered  Pha- 
raoh, saying.  It  is  'not  in  me: 
Qod  shall  give  Pharaoh  an  an.swer 
of  peace. 

17  And  Pharaoh  said  unto  Jo- 
seph, In  my  dream,  behold,  I 
stood  upon  the  bank  of  the  river: 

18  And,  behold,  there  came  up 
out  of  the  river  seven  kine,  fat- 
fleshed  and  well  favoured;  and 
they  fed  in  a  meadow: 

19  And,  behold,  seven  other  kine 
came  up  after  them,  poor  and 
very  ill  favoured  and  leanfleshed. 
such  as  I  never  saw  in  all  the  land 
of  Egypt  for  badness: 

20  And  the  lean  and  the  ill  fa- 
voured kine  did  eat  up  the  first 
seven  fat  kine: 

21  And  when  they  had  eaten 
them  up,  it  could  not  be  known 
that  they  had  eaten  them ;  but 
they  were  still  ill  favoured,  as  at 
the  beginning.    So  I  awoke. 

22  And  I  saw  in  my  dream,  and, 
behold,  seven  ears  come  up  in 
one  stalk,  full  and  good : 

23  And,  behold,  seven  ears,  with- 
ered, thin,  and  blasted  with 
the  east  wind,  sprung  up  after 
them: 

24  And  the  thin  ears  devoured 
the  seven  good  ears:  and  I  told 
thisunto  the  magicians;  but  there 
was  none  that  could  declare  it  to 
me. 

25  And  Joseph  said  unto  Pha- 
raoh, The  dream  of  Pharaoh  is 
one:  God  hath  shewed  Pharaoh 
what  he  is  about  to  do. 

26  The  seven  good  kine  are 
seven  years;  and  the  seven  good 
ears  are  seven  years:  the  dream 
is  one. 

27  And  the  seven  thin  and  ill 
favoured  kine  that  came  up  after 
them  are  seven  years;  and  the 
seven  empty  ears  blasted  with  the 
east  wind  shall  be  seven  years  of 
famine. 


»i9 


28  This  is  the  thing  which  I 
have  spoken  unto  Pharaoh :  Wliat 
God  is  about  to  do  he  sheweth 
uiito  Pharaoh. 

29  Behold,  there  come  seven 
years  of  great  plenty  throughout 
all  the  land  of  Egypt: 

30  And  there  shall  arise  after 
them  seven  years  of  famine;  and 
all  the  plenty  shall  be  forgotten 
in  the  land  of  Egypt:  and  the 
famine  shall  consume  the  land; 

31  And  the  plenty  shall  not  be 
known  in  the  land  by  reason  of 
that  famine  following ;  for  it  shall 
be  very  grievous. 

32  And  for  that  the  dream  was 
doubled  unto  Phai-aoh  twice;  it 
is  because  the  thing  is  established 
by  (Jod,  and  God  will  shortly 
bring  it  to  pass. 

33  Now  therefore  let  Pharaoh 
look  out  a  man  discreet  and  wise, 
and  set  him  over  the  land  oi 
Egypt. 

Si  Let  Pharaoh  do  this,  and  let 
him  appoint  otiicersover  the  land, 
and  take  up  the  fifth  part  of  the 
laud  of  Egypt  in  the  seven  plen- 
teous years. 

35  And  let  them  gather  all  the 
food  of  those  good  years  that 
come,  and  lay  up  corn  under  the 
hand  of  Pharaoh,  and  let  them 
keep  food  in  the  cities. 

36  And  that  food  shall  be  for 
store  to  the  land  against  the  seven 
years  of  famine,  which  shall  be  in 
the  land  of  Egypt ;  that  the  land 
perish  not  thrtnigh  the  famine. 

39  And  Pharaoh  said  unto  Jo- 
seph, Forasmuch  as  God  hath 
shewed  thee  all  this,  there  is  none 
so  discreet  and  wise  as  thou  art: 

40  Thou  shalt  be  over  my  house, 
and  according  unto  thy  word  .shall 
all  my  people  be  ruled:  only  in 
the  tlurone  will  1  be  greater  than 
thou. 

41  And  Pharaoh  said  unto  Jo- 
seph, See,  I  have  set  thee  over 
all  the  land  of  Egypt. 

42  And  Pharaoh  took  off  his 
ring  from  his  hand,  and  put  it 
upon  Joseph's  hand,  and  arrayed 
him  in  vestures  of  fine  linen,  and 
put  a  gold  chain  about  his 
neck; 

43  And  he  made  him  to  ride  in 
the  second  chariot  which  he  had  ; 
and  they  cried  before  him,  Bow 
the  knee:  and  he  made  him  ruler 
over  all  the  land  of  Egypt. 

44  And  Pharaoh  said  unto  Jo- 
seph, I  am  Pharaoli,  and  without 


thee  shall  no  man  lift  up  his 
hand  or  foot  in  all  the  land  of 
Egypt. 

4,')  And  Pharaoh  called  Joseph's 
name  Zaphnath-paaueah ;  and  he 
gave  him  to  wife  Asenath  the 
daughter  of  Poti-pherah  priest  of 
On.  And  Joseph  went  out  over  all 
the  land  of  Egypt. 

46  And  Joseph  was  thirty  years 
old  when  he  stood  before  Pharaoh 
k  ing  of  Egypt.  And  Joseph  went 
out  from  the  presence  of  Pharaoh, 
and  went  throughout  all  the  land 
of  Egypt. 

48  And  he  gathered  up  all  the 
food  of  the  seven  years,  which 
were  in  the  land  of  Egypt,  and 
laid  up  the  food  in  the  cities:  the 
food  of  the  field,  which  was  round 
about  every  city,  laid  he  up  in  the 
same. 

50  And  unto  Joseph  were  born 
two  sons,  before  the  years  of  fam- 
ine came:  which  Asenath  the 
daughter  of  Poti-pherah  priest  of 
On  bare  unto  him. 

51  And  Joseph  called  the  name 
of  the  firstborn  Manasseh:  For 
God,  said  he,  hath  made  me  for- 
get all  my  toil,  and  all  my  fath- 
er's house. 

.52  And  the  name  of  the  second 
called  he  Ephraim :  For  God  hath 
caused  me  to  be  fruitful  in  the 
land  of  my  afiiiction. 

53  And  the  seven  years  of  plen- 
teousness,  that  was  in  the  land  of 
Egypt,  were  ended. 

55  And  when  all  the  land  of 
Egypt  was  famished,  the  people 
cried  to  Pharaoh  for  bread:  and 
Pharaoh  said  unto  all  the  Egyp- 
tians, Go  unto  Joseph;  what  he 
saith  to  you,  do. 

56  And  the  famine  was  over  all 
the  face  of  the  earth:  and  Joseph 
opened  all  the  storehouses,  and 
sold  unto  the  Egyptians;  and  the 
famine  waxed  sore  in  the  laud  of 
Egypt. 

57  And  all  countries  came  into 
Egypt  to  Joseph  for  to  buy  corn ; 
because  that  the  famine  was  so 
sore  in  all  lands. 

Ge.  42—1  Now  when  Jacob  saw 
that  there  was  corn  in  Egypt,  Ja- 
cob said  unto  his  sons, 

2  Get  you  down  thither,  and 
buy  for  us  from  thence;  that  we 
may  live,  and  not  die. 

3  H  And  Joseph's  ten  brethren 
went  down  to  buy  corn  in  Egypt. 

4  But  Benjamin,  Joseph's  broth- 
er, Jacob  sent  not  with  his  breth- 


350 


ren ;  for  he  said.  Lest  peradven- 
ture  mischief  befall  him. 

5  And  the  sons  of  Israel  came  to 
buy  corn  among  those  that  came : 
for  the  famine  was  in  the  land  of 
Canaan. 

6  And  Joseph  was  the  governor 
over  the  land,  and  he  it  was  that 
sold  to  all  the  people  of  the  land: 
and  Joseph's  brethren  came,  and 
bowed  down  themselves  before 
him  with  their  faces  to  the  earth. 

7  And  Joseph  saw  his  brethren, 
and  he  knew  them,  but  made  him- 
self strange  luitothem,  and  spake 
roiighly  unto  them;  and  he  said 
unto  them.  Whence  come  ye? 
And  they  said.  From  the  land  of 
Canaan  to  buy  food. 

8  And  Joseph  knew  his  breth- 
ren, but  they  knew  not  him. 

9  And  Joseph  remembered  the 
dreams  which  he  dreamed  of 
them,  and  said  unto  them.  Ye  are 
spies ;  to  see  the  nakedness  of  the 
land  ye  are  come. 

10  And  they  said  unto  him.  Nay, 
my  lord,  but  to  buy  food  are  thy 
servants  come. 

14  And  Joseph  said  unto  them. 
That  is  it  that  I  spake  unto  you, 
saying.  Ye  are  spies: 

15  Hereby  ye  shall  be  proved: 
By  the  life  of  Pharaoh  ye  shall 
not.  go  forth  hence,  except  your 
youngest  bi-other  come  hither. 

16  Send  one  of  you,  and  let  him 
fetch  your  brother,  and  ye  shall 
be  kept  in  pri.son,  that  your  words 
may  be  proved,  whether  there  be 
any  truth  in  you:  or  else  by  the 
life  of  Pharaoh  surely  ye  are 
spies. 

17  And  he  put  them  all  together 
into  ward  three  days. 

18  And  Joseph  said  unto  them 
the  third  day.  This  do,  and  live ; 
for  1  fear  God : 

19  If  ye  be  true  men,  let  one  of 
your  brethren  be  bound  in  the 
house  of  your  prison:  go  ye, 
carry  com  for  the  famme  of  your 
houses: 

20  But  bring  your  youngest 
brother  unto  me;  so  shall  your 
words  be  verilied,  and  ye  shall 
not  die.    And  they  did  so. 

24  And  he  turned  him.self  about 
from  them,  and  wept;  and  re- 
turned to  them  again,  and  com- 
muned with  them,  and  took  from 
them  Simeon,  and  bound  him  be- 
fore their  eyes. 

25  Then  Joseph  commanded  to 


fill  their  sacks  with  corn,  and  to 
restore  every  man's  money  into 
his  sack,  and  to  give  them  pro- 
vision for  the  way:  and  thus  did 
he  unto  them. 

26  And  they  laded  their  asses 
with  the  corn,  and  departed 
thence. 

29  H  And  they  came  unto  Jacob 
their  father  unto  the  land  of  Ca- 
naan, and  told  him  all  that  befell 
unto  them. 

38  And  he  said.  My  son  shall  not 
go  down  with  you ;  for  his  brother 
IS  dead,  and  he  is  left  alone:  if 
mischief  befall  him  by  the  way  in 
the  which  ye  go,  then  shall  ye 
bring  down  my  gray  hairs  with 
sorrow  to  the  grave. 

Ge.  43—2  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  they  had  eaten  up  the  corn 
which  they  had  brought  out  of 
Egypt.their  father  said  unto  them, 
Go  again,  buy  us  a  little  food. 

3  And  Judali  spake  unto  him, 
saying,  The  man  did  solemnly 
protest  unto  us,  saying,  ye  shall 
not  see  my  face,  except  your 
brother  be  with  you. 

11  And  their  father  Israel  said 
unto  them,  If  it  must  be  so  now,  do 
this;  take  of  the  best  fruits  in  the 
land  in  your  vessels,  and  carry 
down  the  man  a  present,  a  little 
balm,  and  a  little  honey,  spices 
and  myrrh,  nuts  and  almonds: 

12  And  take  double  money  in 
your  hand ;  and  the  money  that 
was  brought  again  in  the  mouth 
of  your  sacks,  carry  it  again  in 
your  hand;  peradventure  it  was 
an  oversight. 

13  Take  also  your  brother,  and 
arise,  go  again  unto  the  man: 

14  And  God  Almighty  give  you 
mercy  before  the  man,  that  he 
may  send  away  your  otlier  broth- 
er,;and  Benjamin.  If  I  be  bereav- 
ed of  my  children,  I  am  be- 
reaved. 

15  And  the  men  took  that  pres- 
ent, and  they  took  double  money 
in  their  hand,  and  Benjamin; 
and  rose  up,  and  went  down  to 
E&ypt,  and  stood  before  Joseph. 

16  And  when  Joseph  saw  Benja- 
min with  them,  he  said  to  the 
ruler  of  his  house.  Bring  these 
men  home,  and  slay,  and  make 
ready;  for  these  men  shall  dine 
with  me  at  noon. 

17  And  the  man  did  as  Joseph 
bade;  and  the  man  brought  the 
men  into  Joseph's  house. 


361 


Ifl  And  they  came  near  to  the 
steward  of  .losepli's  liuuse,  and 
they  communed  with  him  at  the 
door  of  the  house, 

20  And  said,  O  sir,  we  came  in- 
deed down  at  the  tirst  time  to  buy 
food: 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  we 
came  to  the  inn,  that  we  opened 
our  sacks,  and,  behold,  every 
man's  money  was  in  the  mouth 
of  liis  sack,  our  money  in  full 
weight:  and  wo  have  brought  it 
again  in  our  hand. 

22  And  other  money  have  we 
brought  down  in  our  hands  to 
buy  food ;  we  cannot  tell  who  put 
our  money  in  our  sacks. 

23  And  he  said,  Peace  be  to  you, 
fear  not:  your  God,  and  the  God 
of  your  father,  hath  given  you 
treasure  in  your  sacks:  I  had  your 
money.  And  he  brought  Simeon 
out  unto  them. 

24  And  the  man  brought  the 
men  into  Joseph's  house,  and 
gave  them  water,  and  they  wash- 
ed their  feet:  and  he  gave  their 
asses  provender. 

26  And  when  Joseph  came  home, 
they  brought  him  the  present 
which  was  in  their  hand  into  the 
house,  and  bowed  themselves  to 
him  to  the  earth. 

27  And  he  asked  them  of  their 
welfare,  and  said,  Is  your  father 
well,  the  old  man  of  whom  ye 
spake?    Is  he  yet  alive? 

28  And  they  answered.  Thy  serv- 
ant our  father  is  in  good  health, 
he  is  yet  alive.  And  tliey  bowed 
down  their  heads,  and  made  obei- 
sance. 

29  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes, 
and  saw  his  brother  Benjamin, 
his  mother's  son,  and  said.  Is  this 
your  younger  brother,  of  whom 
ye  spake  unto  me?  And  he  said, 
God  be  gracious  unto  thee,  my 
son. 

30  And  Joseph  made  haste; 
for  his  bowels  did  yearn  upon 
his  brother:  and  he  sought 
where  to  weep;  and  he  entered 
into  his  chamber,  and  wept 
there. 

31  And  he  washed  his  face,  and 
went  out,  and  refrained  himself, 
and  said.  Set  on  bread. 

32  And  they  set  on  for  him  by 
himself,  and  for  them  by  them- 
selves, and  for  the  Egyptians, 
which  did  eat  with  him,  by  them- 
selves: because  the  Egyptians 
might  not  eat  bread  with  the  He- 


brews: for  that  is  an  abomination 
unto  the  Egyptians. 

33  And  they  sat  before  him,  the 
tirstborn  according  to  his  birth- 
right, and  the  youngest  according 
to  his  youth:  and  the  men  mar- 
velled one  at  another. 

34  And  he  took  and  sent  messes 
unto  them  from  before  him :  but 
Benjamin's  mess  was  five  times  so 
much  as  any  of  theirs.  And  they 
drank,  and  were  merry  with  him. 

Ge.  44—1  And  he  commanded 
the  steward  of  his  house,  saying, 
Fill  the  men's  sacks  with  food,  as 
much  as  they  can  carry,  and  put 
every  man's  mouey  in  his  sack's 
mouth. 

2  And  put  my  cup,  the  silver 
cup,  in  the  sack's  mouth  of  the 
youngest,  and  his  corn  money. 
And  he  did  according  to  the  word 
that  Joseph  had  spoken. 

3  As  soon  as  the  morning  was 
light,  the  men  were  sent  away. 

4  And  when  they  were  gone  out 
of  the  city,  and  not  yet  far  off, 
Joseph  said  unto  his  steward.  Up, 
follow  after  the  men ;  and  when 
thou  dost  overtake  them,  say  un- 
to them.  Wherefore  have  ye  re- 
warded evil  for  good? 

5  Is  not  this  it  in  which  my  lord 
drinketh,  and  whereby  indeed  he 
divineth?  ye  have  done  evil  in 
so  doing. 

6  And  he  overtook  them,  and 
he  spake  unto  them  these  same 
words. 

11  Then  they  speedily  took  down 
every  man  his  sack  to  the  ground, 
and  opened  every  man  his  sack. 

12  And  he  searched,  and  began 
at  the  eldest,  and  left  at  the 
youngest:  and  the  cup  was  found 
m  Benjamin's  sack. 

13  Then  they  rent  their  clothes, 
and  laded  every  man  his  ass,  and 
returned  to  the  city. 

14  And  Judah  and  his  brethren 
came  to  Joseph's  house;  for  he 
was  yet  there:  and  they  fell  be- 
fore him  on  the  ground. 

15  And  Joseph  said  unto  them. 
What  deed  is  this  that  ye  have 
done?  wot  ye  not  tliat  such  a 
man  as  I  can  certainly  divine? 

16  And  Judah  said.  What  shall 
we  say  unto  my  lord?  what  shall 
we  speak?  or  how  shall  we  clear 
ourselves?  God  hath  foimd  out 
the  iniquity  of  tliy  servants:  be- 
hold, we  are  my  lord's  servants, 
both  we,  antl  he  also  with  whom 
the  cup  IS  found. 


352 


Ge.45— 1  Then  Joseph  could  not 
refrain  himself  before  all  them 
that  stood  by  him ;  and  he  cried, 
Cause  every  man  to  go  out  from 
me.  And  there  stood  no  man  with 
him,  while  Joseph  made  himself 
known  unto  his  brethren. 

2  And  he  wept  aloud:  and  the 
Egyptians  and  the  house  of  Pha- 
raoh heard. 

3  And  Joseph  said,  I  am  Joseph ; 
doth  my  father  yet  live?  And 
his  brethren  could  not  answer 
him;  for  they  were  troubled  at 
his  presence. 

4  And  Joseph  said  to  his  breth- 
ren, Come  near,  I  pray  you.  And 
they  came  near.  And  he  said,  I 
am  Joseph  your  brother,  whom 
ye  sold  into  Egypt. 

5  Now  be  not  grieved,  nor  angry 
with  yourselves,  that  ye  sold  me 
hither:  for  God  did  send  me  be- 
fore you  to  preserve  life. 

6  For  these  two  years  hath  the 
famine  been  in  the  land:  and  yet 
there  are  five  years,  in  the  which 
there  shall  neither  be  earing  nor 
harvest. 

7  And  God  sent  me  before  you 
to  preserve  you  a  posterity  in  the 
earth,  and  to  save  your  lives  by  a 
great  deliverance. 

8  So  now  it  was  not  you  that 
sent  me  hither,  but  God :  and  he 
hath  made  me  a  father  to  Pha- 
raoh, and  lord  of  all  his  house, 
and  a  ruler  throughout  all  the 
laud  of  Egypt. 

9  Haste  ye,  and  go  up  to  my 
father,  and  say  unto  him.  Thus 
saith  thy  son  Joseph,  God  hath 
made  me  lord  of  all  Egypt:  come 
down  unto  me,  tarry  not: 

10  And  thou  shalt  dwell  m  the 
land  of  Goshen,  and  thou  shalt 
be  near  unto  me,  thou,  and  thy 
children,  and  thy  children's  chil- 
dren, and  thy  liocks,  and  thy 
herds,  and  all  that  thou  hast: 

11  And  there  will  I  nourish 
thee ;  .for  yet  there  are  five  years 
of  famine. 

12  And,  behold,  your  eyes  see, 
and  the  eyes  of  my  brother  Ben- 
jamin, that  it  is  my  mouth  that 
speaketh  unto  you. 

13  And  ye  shall  tell  my  fatherof 
all  my  glory  in  Egypt,  and  all  ye 
have  seen;  and  shall  ha.ste  and 
bring  down  my  father  hither. 

14  And  he  fell  upon  his  brother 
Benjamin's  neck,  and  wept ;  and 
Benjamin  wept  upon  his  neck. 


15  Moreover  he  kissed  all  his 
brethren,  and  wept  upon  them: 
and  after  that  his  brethren  talked 
with  him. 

16  H  And  the  fame  thereof  was 
heard  in  Pharaoh's  house,  saying, 
Joseph's  brethren  are  come:  and 
it  pleased  Pharaoh  well,  and  his 
servants. 

17  And  Pharaoh  said  unto  Jo- 
seph, Say  unto  thy  brethren.  This 
do  ye;  lade  your  beasts,  and  go, 
get  you  unto  the  land  of  Canaan ; 

18  And  take  yom'  father  and 
your  householdSt  and  come  v\nto 
me:  and  I  will  give  you  the  good 
of  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  ye  shall 
eat  the  fat  of  the  laud. 

19  Now  thou  art  commanded, 
this  do  ye ;  take  you  wagons  out 
of  the  land  of  Egypt  for  your  lit- 
tle ones,  and  for  your  wives,  a«id 
bring  your  father,  and  come. 

20  Also  regard  not  your  stufif  • 
for  the  good  of  all  the  laud  of 
Egypt  is  yours. 

21  And  the  children  of  Israel  did 
so:  and  Jo.seph  gave  them  wag- 
ons, according  to  the  command- 
ment of  Pharaoh,  and  gave  them 
provision  for  the  way. 

22  To  all  of  them  he  gave  each 
man  changes  of  raiment ;  but  to 
Benjamin  ne  gave  three  hundred 
pieces  of  silver,  and  five  changes 
of  raiment. 

23  And  to  his  father  he  sent 
after  this  manner;  ten  asses  laden 
with  the  good  things  of  Egypt, 
and  ten  she  asses  laden  with  com 
and  bread  and  meat  for  his  father 
by  the  way. 

24  So  he  sent  his  brethren  away, 
and  he  said  unto  them.  See  that 
ye  fall  not  out  by  the  way. 

25  IT  And  they  went  up  out  of 
Egypt,  and  came  into  tiie  land 
of  Canaan  unto  Jacob  their 
father, 

26  And  told  him,  saying,  Joseph 
is  yet  alive,  and  he  is  governor 
over  all  the  land  of  Egypt.  And 
Jacob's  heart  fainted,  for  he  be- 
lieved them  not. 

27  And  they  told  him  all  the 
words  of  Joseph,  which  he  had 
said  unto  them :  and  when  he  saw 
the  wagons  which  Joseph  had 
sent  to  carry  him,  the  spirit  of 
Jacob  their  father  revived. 

28  And  Israel  said.  It  is  enough ; 
Joseph  my  son  is  yet  alive:  I  will 
go  and  see  him  before  I  die.  See 
Ge.  46,  p.  149. 


353 


Jacob  and  his  family  are  kindly 
received  in  Egypt  by  Joseph  and 
Pharaoh.  See  also  Ge.  46,  p.  140. 
Joseph,  by  taking  advantage  of 
tlie  starving  Egyptians,  secures 
all  their  money,  cattle,  and  land 
for  Pharaoh;  but  the  land  of  the 
holy,  holy  priest  was  exempted. 

Ct«.  47—1  Then  Joseph  came  and 
told  Pharaoh,  and  said.  My  father 
and  my  brethren,  and  their  tiocks, 
and  then-  herds,  and  all  that  they 
have,  are  come  out  of  the  land 
of  Canaan;  and,  behold,  they  are 
in  the  land  of  Goshen. 

2  And  he  took  some  of  his  breth- 
ren, even  five  men,  and  presented 
them  unto  Pharaoh. 

3  And  Pharaoh  said  unto  his 
brethren.  What  is  your  occupa- 
tion? And  they  said  unto  Pha- 
raoh, Thy  servants  are  shepherds, 
both  we,  and  also  our  fathers. 

4  They  said  moreover  unto  Pha- 
raoh, For  to  sojourn  in  the  land 
are  we  come;  for  thy  servants 
have  no  pasture  for  their  docks; 
for  the  famine  is  sore  in  the  land 
of  Canaan:  now  therefore,  we 
pray  thee,  let  thy  servants  dwell 
in  the  land  of  Goshen. 

5  And  Pharaoh  spake  unto  Jo- 
seph, saying, 

6  The  land  of  Egypt  is  before 
thee;  in  the  best  of  the  land  make 
thy  father  and  brethren  to  dweH : 
in  the  land  of  Goshen  let  them 
dwell:  and  if  thou  knowest  any 
men  of  activity  among  them, 
then  make  them  rulers  over  my 
cattle. 

7  And  Joseph  brought  in  .Jacob 
his  father,  and  set  him  before  Pha- 
roah:  and  Jacob  blessed  Pharaoh. 

8  And  Pharaoh  said  unto  Jacob, 
How  old  art  thou? 

9  And  Jacob  said  unto  Pharaoh, 
The  days  of  the  years  of  my  pil- 
grimage are  a  hundred  and  thirty 
years:  few  and  evil  have  the  days 
of  the  years  of  my  life  been,  and 
have  not  attained  unto  the  days 
of  the  years  of  the  life  of  my  fa- 
thers in  the  days  of  their  pilgrim- 
age. 

10  And -Jacob  blessed  Pharaoh, 
and  went  out. 

11  And  Joseph  placed  his  fa- 
ther and  his  brethren,  and  gave 
them  a  possession  in  the  land  of 
Egypt,  in  the  best  of  the  land,  in 
the  land  of  Rameses,  as  Pharaoh 
had  commanded. 

12  And  Joseph  nourished  his  fa- 


ther, and  his  brethren,  and  all  his 
father's  household,  with  bread, 
according  to  their  families. 

13  IT  And  there  was  no  bread  in 
all  the  land;  for  the  famine  was 
very  sore,  so  that  the  land  of 
Egypt  and  all  the  land  of  Canaan 
fainted  by  reason  of  the  famine. 

14  And  Joseph  gathered  up  all 
the  money  that  was  found  in  the 
land  of  Egypt,  and  in  the  land  of 
Canaan,  for  the  corn  which  they 
bought:  and  Joseph  brought  the 
money  into  Pharaoh's  house. 

15  And  when  money  failed  in 
the  land  of  Egypt,  and  in  the  land 
of  Canaan,  all  the  Egyptians 
came  unto  Joseph,  and  said.  Give 
us  bread:  for  why  should  we  die 
in  thy  presence?  for  the  money 
faileth. 

16  And  Joseph  said.  Give  your 
cattle;  and  I  will  give  you  for 
your  cattle,  if  money  fail. 

17  And  they  brought  their  cattle 
unto  Joseph:  and  Joseph  gave 
them  bread  in  exchange  for 
horses,  and  for  the  docks,  and  for 
the  cattle  of  the  herds,  and  for 
the  asses;  and  he  fed  them  with 
bread  for  all  their  cattle  for  that 
year. 

18  When  that  year  was  ended, 
they  came  unto  him  the  second 
year,  and  said  unto  him.  We  will 
not  hide  it  from  my  loi'd,  how  that 
our  money  is  spent ;  my  lord  also 
hath  our  herds  of  cattle:  there  is 
not  aught  left  in  the  sight  of  my 
lord,  but  our  bodies,  and  our 
lands: 

19  Wherefore  shall  we  die  before 
thine  eyes,  both  we  and  our  land? 
buy  ixs  and  our  land  for  bread,  and 
we  and  our  land  will  be  servants 
unto  Pharaoh:  and  give  us  seed, 
that  we  may  live,  and  not  die, 
that  the  land  be  not  desolate. 

20  And  Joseph  bought  all  the 
land  of  Egypt  for  Pharaoh;  for 
the  Egyiitians  sold  evei-y  man  his 
field,  because  the  famine  pre- 
vailed over  them;  so  the  laud 
became  Pharaoli's. 

21  And  as  for  the  people,  he  re- 
moved them  to  cities  from  cne 
end  of  the  borders  of  Egypt  even 
to  the  other  end  thereof. 

22  Only  the  land  of  the  priests 
bought  ho  not ;  for  the  priests  had 
a  portion  assigned  them  of  Pha- 
raoh, and  did  eat  their  portion 
which  Pharaoh  gave  them: 
wherefore  they  sold  not  theu* 
lauds. 


354 


23  Then  Joseph  said  unto  the 
people,  Behold,  I  have  bought  you 
this  day  aud  your  laud  for  Pha- 
raoh :  lo,  here  is  seed  for  you,  and 
ye  shall  sow  the  land. 

24  Aud  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
the  increase,  that  ye  shall  give  the 
fifth  part  unto  Pharaoh,  and  four 
parts  shall  be  yom-  own,  for  seed 
of  the  field,  and  for  your  food,  and 
for  them  of  your  households,  and 
for  food  for  your  little  ones. 

25  Aud  they  said,  Thou  hast 
saved  our  lives:  let  us  find  grace 
in  the  sight  of  my  lord,  and  we 
will  be  Pharaoh's  servants. 

26  And  Joseph  made  it  a  law 
over  the  land  of  Egypt  unto  this 
day,  that  Pharaoh  should  have 
the  fifth  part;  except  the  laud  of 
the  priests  only,  which  became 
not  Pharaoh's. 

27  And  Israel  dwelt  in  the  land 
of  Egypt,  in  the  country  of  Go- 
shen; and  they  had  possessions 
therein,  aud  grew,  and  multiplied 
exceedingly,    p.  42. 

BIRTH  OF  MOSES. 

Ex.  2—1  And  there  went  a  man 
of  the  house  of  Levi,  and  took  to 
wife  a  daughter  of  Levi. 

(Ex.  6—20  And  Amram  took  him 
Jochebedhisfather'ssistertowife. 

Nu.  26—59  Aud  she  bare  unto 
Amram,  Aaron  and  Moses,  and 
Miriam  their  sister.) 

2  And  the  woman  conceiA^ed, 
and  bare  a  son:  and  when  she 
saw  him  that  he  was  a  goodly 
child,  she  hid  him  three  months. 

3  And  when  she  could  not  longer 
hide  him,  she  took  for  him  an  ark 
of  bulrushes,  and  daubed  it  with 
slime  and  with  pitch,  and  put  the 
child  therein;  aud  she  laid  it  in 
the  liags  by  the  river's  brink. 

4  And  his  sister  stood  afar  off, 
to  wit  what  would  be  done  to  him. 

5  And  the  daughter  of  Pharaoli 
came  down  to  wash  herself  at  the 
the  river ;  and  hermaideus  walked 
along  by  the  river's  side:  and 
when  she  saw  the  ark  among  the 
flags,  she  sent  her  maid  to  fetch 
it. 

6  And  when  she  had  opened  it, 
she  saw  the  child :  and,  behold,  the 
babe  wept.  And  she  had  compas- 
sion on  him,  and  said.  This  is  one 
of  the  Hebrews'  children. 

7  Then  said  his  sister  to  Pha- 
raoh's daughter,  Shall  I  go  and 


call  to  thee  a  nurse  of  the  Hebrew 
women,  that  she  may  nurse  the 
child  for  thee? 

8  And  Pharaoh's  daughter  said 
to  her.  Go.  And  the  maid  went 
and  called  the  child's  mother. 

9  And  Pharaoh's  daughter  said 
unto  her.  Take  this  child  away, 
and  nurse  it  forme,  and  I  will  give 
thee  thy  wages.  And  the  woman 
took  the  child,  and  nm-sed  it. 

10  And  the  child  grew,  and  she 
brought  him  unto  Pharaoh's 
daughter,  and  he  became  her  sou. 
And  she  called  his  name  Moses: 
and  she  said.  Because  1  drew  him 
out  of  the  water. 

(Ac.  7—22  And  Moses  was  learned 
in  all  the  wisdom  of  the  Egyptians, 
and  was  mighty  in  words  and  in 
deeds.) 

11  U  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those 
days,  when  Moses  was  grown,  that 
he  went  out  uuto  his  brethren, 
and  looked  on  their  burdens:  and 
he  spied  an  Egyptian  smiting  a 
Hebrew,  one  of  nis  bretlnen. 

12  And  he  looked  this  way  and 
that  way,  and  when  he  saw  that 
there  was  no  man,  he  slew  the 
Egyptian.and  hid  him  in  the  sand. 

13  And  when  he  went  out  the 
second  day,  behold,  two  men  of 
the  Hebrews  strove  together:  and 
he  said  to  him  that  did  the  wrong. 
Wherefore  smitest  thou  thy  fel- 
low? _  ,     , 

14  And  he  said.  Who  made  thee 
a  prince  and  a  judge  over  us?  in- 
tendest  thou  to  kill  me,  as  thou 
killedstthe Egyptian?  AudMoses 
feared,  and  said,  Sui-ely  this  thing 
is  known. 

15  Now  when  Pharaoh  heard  tins 
thing,  he  sought  to  slay  INIoses. 
I3ut  Moses  fled  from  the  face  of 
Pharaoh,  and  dwelt  in  the  land  of 
Midian:  and  he  sat  down  by  a 
well. 

16  Now  the  priest  of  Midian  had 
seven  daughters:  and  they  came 
and  drew  water,  and  tilled  the 
troughs  to  water  their  father's 
flock. 

17  And  the  shepherds  came  and 
drove  them  away:  but  INIoses 
stood  up  and  helped  them,  and 
watered  their  flock. 

18  And  when  they  came  to  Reuel 
their  father,  he  said.  How  is  it 
that  ye  are  come  so  soon  to  day? 

19  And  they  said,  An  Egyptian 
delivered  us  out  of  the  hand  of 
the  shepherds.and  also  drew  water 


355 


enough  for  us,  and  watered  the 
tiock. 

20  And  he  said  unto  his  daugh- 
ters, And  where  is  he?  why  is  it 
that  ye  have  left  the  man?  call 
him,  that  he  may  eat  bread. 

21  And  Moses  was  content  to 
dwell  with  the  man:  and  he  gave 
Moses  Zipporah  his  daughter. 

22  And  she  bare  him  a  son,  and 
he  called  his  name  Gershom:  for 
he  said,  I  have  been  a  stranger  in 
a  strange  land.    p.  150. 

The  Children  of  Israel  to  dwell 
in  booths  seven  days  in  the  year. 
Hence  camp  meetings,  bush  meet- 
ings. 

Le.  23—39  In  the  fifteenth  day  of 
the  seventh  month,  when  ye  have 
gathered  in  the  friiit  of  the  land, 
ye  shall  keep  a  feast  unto  the 
Lord  seven  days:  on  the  first  day 
shall  be  a  sabbath,  and  on  the 
eighth  day  shall  be  a  sabbath. 

40  And  ye  shall  take  yoix  on  the 
first  day  the  boughs  of  goddly 
ti'ees,  branches  of  palm  trees,  and 
the  boughs  of  thick  trees,  .and  wil- 
lows of  the  brook;  and  ye  shall 
rejoice  before  the  Lord  your  God 
seven  days. 

41  And  ye  shall  keep  it  a  feast 
unto  the  Lord  seven  days  in  the 
year:  it  shall  be  a  statute  for  ever 
in  your  generations ;  ye  shall  cel- 
ebrate it  in  the  seventli  month. 

42  Ye  shall  dwell  in  booths  seven 
days;  all  that  are  Israelites  born 
shall  dwell  in  booths: 

43  That  your  generations  may 
know  that  1  made  the  children  of 
Israel  to  dwell  in  booths,  when  I 
broxrght  them  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt:  I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

The  rebellion  of  Korah.  An 
earthquake  swallowed  up  Korah 
and  his  company.  Fire  consumed 
250  and  the  plague  14,700. 

Nu.  16—1  Now  Korah,  Dathan 
and  Abiram  took  men: 

2  And  they  rose  up  before  Moses, 
with  certain  of  the  children  of  Is- 
rael,two  hundred  and  fifty  princes 
of  the  assembly,  famous  in  the 
congregation,  men  of  renown: 

3  And  they  gathered  themselves 
together  against  Moses  and  Aaron, 
and  said,  Ye  take  too  much  upon 
you,  seeing  all  the  congregation 
are  holy,  and  the  Lord  is  among 


them:  wherefore  then  lift  ye  up 
yourselves  above  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  Lord? 

15  And  Moses  was  very  wroth, 
and  said  unto  the  Lord,  Respect 
not  tliou  their  offering:  I  have 
not  taken  one  ass  from  them,  nei- 
ther have  I  hurt  one  of  them. 

16  And  Moses  said  unto  Korah, 
Be  thou  and  all  thy  company  be- 
fore the  Lord,  thou,  and  they,  and 
Aaron,  to  morrow : 

17  And  take  every  man  hiscens^ 
er,  and  put  incense  in  them,  and 
bring  ye  before  the  Lord  every 
man  his  censer,  two  hundred  and 
fifty  censers ;  thou  also,and  Aaron, 
each  of  you  his  censer. 

18  And  they  took  every  man  his 
censer,  and  put  fire  in  them,  and 
laid  incense  thereon,  and  stood  in 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation  with  Moses  and  Aa- 
ron. 

20  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo- 
ses and  unto  Aaron,  saying, 

21  Separate  yourselves  from 
among  this  congregation,  that  I 
may  consume  them  in  a  moment. 

27  So  they  ^at  up  from  the  tab- 
ernacle of  Korah^  Dathan,  and 
Abiram,  on  every  side:  and  Dath- 
an and  Abiram  came  out,  and 
stood  in  the  door  of  their  tents, 
and  their  wives,  and  their  sons, 
and  their  little  children. 

28  And  Moses  said.  Hereby  ye 
shall  know  that  the  Lord  hath 
sent  me  to  do  all  these  works;  for 
1  have  not  done  them  of  mine  owu 
mind. 

29  If  these  men  die  the  common 
death  of  all  men,  or  if  they  be 
visited  after  the  visitation  of  all 
men;  then  the  Lord  hath  not 
sent  me. 

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he 
had  made  an  end  of  speaking  all 
these  W(irds,that  the  ground  clave 
asunder  that  was  under  them : 

32  And  tlie  earth  opened  her 
mouth,  and  swallowed  them  up, 
and  their  houses,  and  all  the  men 
that  appertained  xmto  Korah,  and 
all  their  goods. 

33  They,  and  all  that  appertained 
to  them,  went  down  alive  into 
the  pit,  and  the  earth  closed  upon 
them:  and  they  perished  from 
among  the  congregation. 

3.5  And  there  came  out  a  fire 
from  the  Lord,  and  consumed 
the  two  Inmdred  and  fifty  men 
that  offered  incense. 


356 


41  But  on  the  morrow  all  the 
congregation  of  the  children  of 
Israel  murmured  against  Moses 
and  against  Aaron,  saying.  Ye 
have  killed  the  peopleof  the  Lord. 

44  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Moses,  saying, 

45  Get  you  up  from  among  this 
congregation,  that  I  may  consume 
them  as  in  a  moment.  And  they 
fell  upon  their  faces. 

46  And  Moses  said  imto  Aaron, 
Take  a  censer,  and  put  fire  therein 
from  off  the  altar,  and  put  on  in- 
cense, and  go  quickly  vinto  the 
congregation ;  and  make  an  atone- 
ment for  them :  for  there  is  wi'ath 
gone  ovit  from  the  Lord;  the 
plague  is  hegun. 

47  And  Aaron  took  as  Moses  com- 
manded, and  ran  into  the  midst  of 
the  congregation ;  and,  heliold,  the 
plague  was  begun  among  the  peo- 
ple: and  he  put  on  incense,  and 
made  an  atonement  forthe  people. 

48  And  he  stood  between  the 
dead  and  the  living;  and  the 
plague  was  stayed. 

49  Now  they  that  died  in  the 
plague  were  fourteen  thousand 
and  seven  hundred,  besides  them 
that  died  about  the  matter  of 
Korah. 

Zimri,  Cozbi,  and  24,000  Israe- 
lites slain. 

Nu.  25—1  And  Israel  abode  in 
Shittim,  and  the  people  began  to 
commit  whoredom  with  the 
daughters  of  Moab. 

2  And  they  called  the  people  un- 
to the  sacrifices  of  their  gods:  and 
the  people  did  eat,  and  bowed 
down  to  their  gods. 

3  And  Israel  joined  himself  unto 
Baal-peor:  and  the  anger  of  she 
Lord  was  kindled  against  Israel. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, Take  all  the  heads  of  the  peo- 
ple, and  hang  them  up  before  the 
Lord  against  the  sun,  that  the 
fierce  anger  of  the  Lord  may  be 
turned  away  from  Lsrael. 

5  And  Moses  said  unto  the 
judges  of  Israel,  Slay  ye  every 
one  his  men  tkat  were  joined  un- 
to Baal-peor. 

6  And  Zimri,  one  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  came  and  brought 
unto  his  brethren  Cozbi,  a  Midia- 
nitish  woman  in  the  sight  of  Mo- 
ses, and  in  the  sight  of  all  the  con- 
gregation of  the  children  of  Is- 
rael, who   were   weeping  before 


the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation. 

7  And  when  Phinehas,  the  son 
of  Eleazar,  the  son  of  Aaron  the 
priest,  saw  it,  he  rose  up  from 
among  the  congregation,  and  took 
a  javelin  in  his  hand; 

8  And  he  went  after  the  man  of 
Israel  into  the  tent,  and  thru,st 
both  of  them  through,  the  man  of 
Israel,  and  the  woman  through 
her  belly.  So  the  plague  was 
stayed  from  the  children  of  Israel. 

9  And  those  that  died  in  the 
plague  were  twenty  and  four 
thousand. 

10  And  the  Lord  spake  unto 
Moses,  saying, 

11  Phinehas,  the  son  of  Eleazar, 
the  son  of  Aaron  the  priest,  hath 
turned  my  wrath  away  from  the 
children  of  Israel,  while  he  was 
zealous  for  my  sake  among  them, 
that  1  consumed  not  the  children 
of  Israel  in  my  jealousy. 

12  Wherefore  say.  Behold,  I  give 
unto  him  my  covenant  of  peace : 

13  And  he  shall  have  it,  and  his 
seed  after  him,  even  the  covenant 
of  an  everlasting  priesthood ;  be- 
cause he  was  zealous  for  his  God, 
and  made  an  atonement  for  the 
children  of  Israel. 

Sedition  of  Aaron  and  Miriam 
(see  Nu.  26.  59,  p.  3,54). 
Death  of  Aaron  and  Miriam. 

Nu.  12—1  And  Miriam  and  Aaron 
spake  against  Moses  becau.se  of 
the  Ethiopian  woman  whom  he 
had  married:  for  he  had  married 
an  Ethiopian  woman. 

2  And  tney  said.  Hath  the  Lord 
indeed  spoken  only  by  Moses? 
hath  he  not  spoken  also  by  us? 
And  the  Lord  heard  it. 

3  (Now  the  man  Moses  was  very 
meek,  above  all  the  men  which 
were  on  the  face  of  the  earth.) 

4  And  the  Lord  spake  suddenly 
unto  Moses,  and  unto  Aaron,  and 
unto  Miriam,  Come  out  ye  three 
unto  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation. And  they  three  came 
out. 

5  And  the  Lord  came  down  in 
the  pillar  of  the  cloud,  and  stood 
in  the  door  of  the  tabernacle,  and 
called  Aaron  and  MMam:  and 
they  both  came  forth. 

6  And  he  said.  Hear  now  my 
words:  If  there  be  a  prophet 
among  you,  I  the  Lord  will  make 
myself  known  imto  him  in  a  vis- 


357 


ion,  and  will  speak  unto  liim  in  a 
dream. 

7  My  servant  Moses  is  not  so, 
who  is  faithful  in  all  mine  house. 

8  With  him  will  1  speak  mouth 
to  mouth,  even  apparently,  and 
not  in  dark  speeches;  and  the  si- 
militude of  the  Lord  shall  he  he- 
hold;  wherefore  then  were  ye  not 
afraid  to  speak  against  my  ser- 
vant Moses? 

9  And  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  them;  and 
he  departed. 

10  And  the  cloud  departed  from 
off  the  tabernacle;  and,  behold, 
Miriam  became  leprous,  white  as 
snow:  and  Aaron  looked  upon 
Miriam,  and,  behold,  she  was  lep- 
rous. 

11  And  Aaron  said  unto  Moses, 
Alas,  my  lord  I  beseech  thee,  lay 
not  the  sin  upon  us,  wherein  we 
have  done  foolishly,  and  wherein 
we  have  sinned. 

12  Let  her  not  be  as  one  dead, 
of  whom  the  liesh  is  half  con- 
sumed when  he  cometh  out  his 
mother's  womb. 

13  And  Moses  cried  unto  the 
Lord,  saying,  Heal  her  now,  O 
God,  I  beseech  tliee. 

14  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, If  her  father  had  but  spit  in 
her  face,  should  she  not  be 
ashamed  seven  days?  let  her  be 
shut  out  from  the  camp  seven 
days,  and  after  that  let  her  be  re- 
ceived in  again. 

15  And  Miriam  was  shut  out 
from  the  camp  seven  days:  and 
the  people  journeyed  not  till  Mir- 
iam was  brought  in  agaui. 

Nu.  20—1  Then  came  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  into  the  desert  of 
Zin ;  and  Miriam  died  there,  and 
was  buried  there. 

Nu.  33—38  And  Aaron  the  priest 
went  up  into  mount  Hor  at  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord,  and 
died  there,  in  the  fortieth  year 
after  the  children  of  Israel  were 
come  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  in 
the  first  day  of  the  fifth  month. 

39  And  Aarou  was  a  hundred 
and  twenty  and  three  years  old 
when  he  died  in  mount  Hor. 

Samson's  marriage ;  his  riddle ; 
30  men  slain ;  the  300  foxes  and 
the  firebrands;  his  wife  burned 
to  death,  then  .Samson  "  smote 
them  hip  and  thigh  with  a  great 
slaughter.'' 


Ju.  14—1  And  Samson  went 
down  to  Timnatli. 

2  And  he  came,  and  told  hi.s 
father  and  mother,  and  said.  I 
have  seen  a  woman  in  Timnatli 
of  the  daughters  of  the  Philis- 
tines: now  therefore  get  her  for 
me  to  wife. 

4  But  his  father  and  his  mother 
knew  not  that  it  was  of  the  Lord, 
that  he  .sought  an  occasion  against 
the  Philistines:  for  at  that  time 
the  Philistines  had  dominion  over 
Israel. 

5  Then  went  Samson  down,  and 
his  father  and  mother,  to  Tim- 
natli: and,  behold,  a  young  lion 
roared  against  him. 

6  And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  him,  and  he  rent  him 
as  he  would  have  rent  a  kid. 

7  And  he  went  down  and  talked 
with  the  woman ;  and  she  pleased 
Samson  well. 

8  And  after  a  time  he  returned 
to  take  her,  and  he  turned  aside 
to  see  the  carcass  of  the  lion:  and. 
behold,  there  was  a  swarm  of 
bees  and  honey  in  the  carcass. 

9  And  he  took  thereof  in  his 
hands,  and  went  on  eating,  and 
came  to  his  fatlier  and  motlier.and 
gave  them,  and  they  did  eat: 

10  So  his  father  went  down  un- 
to the  woman:  and  Samson  made 
there  a  feast ; 

12  IT  And  Samson  said  unto 
them,  I  will  now  put  forth  a  rid- 
dle unto  you:  if  ye  can  declare  it 
me  within  the  seven  days  of  the 
feast,  then  I  will  give  you  thirty 
sheets  and  thirty  change  of  gar- 
ments: 

13  But  if  ye  cannot  declare  it 
me,  then  shall  ye  give  me  thirty 
sheets  and  thirty  change  of  gar- 
ments. And  they  said  unto  htnu. 
Put  forth  thy  riddle. 

14  And  he  said.  Out  of  the  eater 
came  forth  meat,  and  out  of  the 
strong  came  forth  sweetness. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
seventh  day,  that  they  said  unto 
Samson's  wife.  Entice  thy  luis- 
band,  tliat  he  may  declare  unto 
us  the  riddle,  lest  we  bum  thee 
and  thy  father's  house  with  tire. 

J7  And  she  wept  before  him  the 
seven  days,  while  their  feast  last- 
ed: and  on  the  .seventh  day,  he 
told  her,  and  she  told  the  riddle 
to  the  children  of  her  people. 

18  And  the  men  of  the  city  said 
unto  liini  on  the  seventh  day  be- 


358 


fore  the  sun  went  down.  What  is 
sweeter  than  honey?  and  what  is 
stronger  than  a  lion?  And  he 
said  unto  them.  If  ye  had  not 
ploughed  with  my  heifer,  ye  had 
not  found  out  my  riddle. 

19  And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  him,  and  he  went 
down  to  Aslikelon,  and  slew  thirty 
men  of  them,  and  took  their  spoil, 
and  gave  change  of  garments  un- 
to them  which  expounded  the 
riddle.  And  his  auger  was  kin- 
dled, and  lie  went  up  to  his 
fathers  house. 

20  But  Samson's  wife  was  given 
to  his  companion. 

Ju.  15—1  But  it  came  to  pass 
within  a  while  after,  in  the  time 
of  wheat  harvest,  that  Samson 
visited  his  wife  with  a  kid. 

2  And  her  father,  said,  I  verily 
thought  that  thou  hadst  utterly 
hated  her;  therefore  I  gave  her 
to  thy  companion:  is  not  her 
younger  sister  fairer  than  she? 
take  her,  I  pray  thee,  instead  of 
her. 

3  And  Samson  said  conceniing 
them.  Now  shall  I  be  more  blame- 
less than  the  Philistines,  though 
I  do  them  a  displeasure. 

4  And  Samson  went  and  caught 
three  hundred  foxes,  and  took 
firebrands,  and  tui-ned  tail  to  tail, 
and  put  a  firebrand  in  the  midst 
between  two  tails. 

5  And  when  he  had  set  the 
brands  on  fire,  he  let  them  go  into 
the  standing  com  of  the  Philis- 
tines, and  burnt  up  both  the 
shocks,  and  also  the  standaig 
com.  with  the  vineyards  and 
olives. 

6  Then  the  Philistines  said. 
Who  hath  done  this?  And  they 
answered,  Samson,  the  son  in  law 
of  the  Timnite.  because  he  had 
taken  his  wife,  and  given  her  to 
his  companion.  And  the  Philis- 
tines came  up,  and  burnt  her  and 
her  father  with  fire. 

7  And  Samson  said  unto  them. 
Though  ye  have  done  this,  yet 
will  I  oe  avenged  of  you,  and  after 
that  I  will  cease. 

8  And  he  smote  them  hip  and 
thigh  with  a  great  slaughter :  and 
he  went  down  and  dwelt  in  the 
top  of  the  rock  Etam.    p.  412. 

Samson  and  the  harlot  at  Gaza, 
and  Delilah  who  betrayed  him. 
His  death:  "So  the  dead  which 
he  slew  at  his  death  were  more 


than  they  which  he  slew  in  his 
life." 

Ju.  16—1  Then  went  Samson  to 
Gaza,  and  saw  there  a  harlot,  and 
went  in  unto  her. 

2  And  it  was  told  the  Gazites, 
saying,  Samson  is  come.  And 
they  compassed  him  in,  and  laid 
wait  for  him  all  night  in  the  gate 
of  the  city,  saying.  In  the  morning, 
when  it  is  day,  we  shall  kill  him. 

3  And  Samson  lay  till  midnight, 
and  arose,  and  took  the  doors  of 
the  gate  of  the  city,  and  the  two 
posts,  bar  and  all,  and  put  them 
upon  his  shoulders,  and  carried 
them  up  to  the  top  of  a  hill. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass  after- 
ward, that  he  loved  a  woman, 
whose  name  was  Delilah. 

5  And  the  lords  of  the  Philistines 
said  unto  her.  Entice  him,  and 
see  wherein  his  great  strength 
lieth,  and  by  what  means  we  may 
prevail  against  him:  and  we  will 
give  thee  every  one  of  us  eleven 
hundred  pieces  of  silver. 

G  And  Delilah  said  to  Samson, 
Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  wherein  thy 
great  strength  lieth. 

7  And  Samson  said.  If  they  bind 
me  with  seven  green  withs  that 
were  never  dried,  then  shall  I  be 
weak,  and  be  as  another  man. 

8  Then  the  lords  of  the  Philis- 
tinesbroughtuptohersevengreen 
withs,  and  she  bound  him  with 
them. 

9  Now  there  were  men  lying  in 
wait,  with  her  in  the  chamber. 
And  she  said.  The  Philistines  be 
upon  thee,  Samson.  And  he  brake 
the  witlis,  as  a  thread  of  tow. 

10  And  Delilah  said,  Samson, 
thou  has  mocked  me,  and  told  me 
lies:  now  tell  me,  1  pray  thee, 
wherewith  thou  mightest  be 
bound. 

11  And  he  said  unto  her.  If  they 
bind  me  fast  with  new  ropes  that 
never  were  occupied,  then  shall  I 
be  weak,  and  be  as  another  man. 

12  Delilah  therefore  took  new 
ropes,  and  bound  him,  and  said. 
The  Philistines  be  upon  thee, 
Samson.  And  he  brake  them 
from  off  his  arms  like  a  thread. 

13  And  Delilah  said.  Thou  hast 
mocked  me,  and  told  me  lies:  tell 
me  wherewith  thou  mightest  be 
bound.  And  he  said.  If  thou 
weavest  the  seven  locks  of  my 
head  with  the  web. 

14  And  she  fastened  it  with  the 


359 


pm,  and  said  unto  him,  the  Phi- 
listines be  upon  thee,  Samson. 
And  he  awaked  out  of  his  sleep, 
and  went  away  with  the  pin  of 
the  beam,  and  with  the  web. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she 
pressed  him  daily  with  her  words, 
and  urged  him,  so  that  his  soul 
was  vexed  luito  death ; 

17  That  he  told  her  all  his  heart. 
and  said  imto  her.  There  hath  not 
<'ome  a  razor  upon  mine  head ;  for 
I  have  been  a  Kazarite  unto  God 
from  my  mother's  womb :  if  1  be 
shaven,  then  my  strength  will  go 
from  me,and  I  shall  become  wealv, 
and  be  like  anv  other  man. 

18  And  when  Delilah  saw  that  lie 
had  told  her  all  his  heart,  she 
sent  and  called  for  the  lords  of 
the  Philistines.  Then  the  lords  of 
tlie  Philistines  came  up  unto  her, 
and  brought  money  in  their  hand. 

19  And  she  made  him  sleep  upon 
her  knees;  and  she  called  for  a 
man,  and  caused  him  to  shave 
off  the  seven  locks  of  his  head ; 
and  his  strength  went  from  him. 

20  And  she  said.  The  Philistines 
be  upon  thee,  Samson.  And  he 
awoke  out  of  his  sleep,  and  said,  I 
will  go  out  as  at  other  times  be- 
fore, and  shake  myself.  And  he 
wist  not  that  the  Lord  was  de- 
parted from  him. 

21  But  the  Philistines  took  him, 
and  put  out  his  eyes,  and  brought 
him  down  to  Gaza,  and  bound 
him  with  fetters  of  brass;  and  he 
did  grind  in  the  prison  house. 

22  Howbeit  the  hair  of  his  head 
began  to  grow  again. 

23  Then  the  lords  of  the  Philis- 
tines gathered  them  together  for 
to  o<¥er  a  great  sacrifice  unto  Da- 
gon  their  god,  and  to  rejoice:  for 
they  said.  Our  god  hath  delivered 
Samson  our  enemy  into  our  hand. 

25  And  when  their  hearts  were 
meriw,  they  said.  Call  for  Samson, 
that  he  may  make  us  sport.  And 
they  called  for  Samson  out  of  the 
prison  house ;  and  he  made  them 
sport:  and  they  set  him  between 
the  pillars. 

26  And  Samson  said  unto  the  lad 
that  held  him  by  the  hand.  Suffer 
me  that  I  may  feel  the  pillars 
whereupon  the  house  standeth, 
that  1  may  lean  upon  them. 

27  Now  the  house  was  full  of 
men  and  women ;  and  all  the  lords 
of  the  Philistines  were  there ;  and 
there  were  upon  the  roof  about 


three  thousand  men  and  women, 
that  beheld  while  Samson  made 
sport. 

28  And  Samson  called  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord,  remember 
me,  I  pray  thee,  and  strengthen 
me,  only  this  once,  that  I  may  be 
at  once  avenged  of  the  Philistines 
for  my  two  eyes. 

29  And  Samson  took  hold  of  the 
two  middle  pillars  upon  which 
the  house  stood,  of  the  one  with 
his  right  hand,  and  of  the  other 
with  his  left. 

30  And  Samson  said.  Let  me  die 
with  the  Philistines.  And  he  bow- 
ed himself  with  all  his  might ;  and 
the  house  fell  upon  the  lords,  and 
upon  all  the  people  that  were 
therein.  So  the  dead  which  he 
slew  at  his  death  were  more  than 
they  which  he  slew  in  his  life. 

31  Then  his  brethren  and  all  the 
house  of  his  father  came  down, 
and  brought  him  up,  and  buried 
him  in  the  buryingplace  of  Ma- 
noah  his  father.  And  he  judged 
Israel  twenty  years. 

DAVID.  JONATHAN,  AND  THE 
ARROWS. 


If  there  was  to  be  peace  between 
Saul  and  David,  .Jonathan  would 
say,  "Behold,  the  arrows  are  on 
this  side  of  thee,"  and  if  not  he 
would  say," Behold,  the  arrowsare 
beyond  thee."  For  the  cause  of 
the  trouble  between  Saul  and 
David  see  l  Sa.  9. 15-27 ;  10. 1-27 ;  10. 
1-23 ;  also  chapters  17, 18, 19. 

1  Sa.  20—18  Then  Jonathan  said 
to  David, 

20  And  1  will  shoot  three  arrows 
on  the  side  thereof,  as  though  I 
shot  at  a  mark. 

21  And,  behold,  I  will  send  a  lad, 
saytng,Go,  find  out  the  arrows.  If 
I  expressly  say  unto  the  lad.  Be- 
hold, the  arrows  are  on  this  side 
of  thee,  take  them;  then  come 
thou:  for  there  is  peace  to  thee, 
and  no  hurt ;  as  the  Lord  liveth. 

22  But  if  I  say  thus  unto  the 
young  man.  Behold,  the  arrows 
are  beyond  thee ;  go  thy  way:  for 
the  Lord  hath  sent  thee  away. 

35  H  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  that  Jonathan  went  out 
into  the  field  at  the  time  ap- 
pointed with  David,  and  a  little 
lad  with  him. 


360 


36  And  he  said  unto  his  lad, 
Run,  find  out  now  the  arrows 
which  I  shoot.  And  as  the  lad 
ran,  he  shot  an  an-ow  beyond 
him. 

37  And  when  the  lad  was  come 
to  the  place  of  the  arrow  which 
Jonathan  had  shot,Jonathan  cried 
after  the  lad,  and  said.  Is  not  the 
arrow  beyond  thee? 

38  And  Jonathan  cried  after  the 
lad.  Make  speed,  haste,  stay  not. 
And  Jonathan's  lad  gathered  up 
the  arrows.and  cametohismaster. 

39  But  the  lad  knew  not  any 
thing:  only  Jonathan  and  David 
knew  the  matter. 

40  And  Jonathan  gave  his  artil- 
lery unto  his  lad,  and  said  unto 
him.  Go,  carry  them  to  the  city. 

41  And  as  soon  as  the  lad  was 
gone,  David  arose  out  of  a  place 
toward  the  south,  and  fell  on  his 
face totheground, and  bowed  him- 
self three  times:  and  they  kissed 
one  another,  and  wept  one  with 
another,  until  David  exceeded. 

42  And  Jonathan  said  to  David, 
Go  in  peace,  forasmuch  as  we  have 
sworn  both  of  us  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord,  saying,  The  Lord  be  be- 
tween me  and  thee,  and  between 
my  seed  and  thy  seed  for  ever. 
And  he  arose  and  departed:  and 
Jonathan  went  into  the  city.  See 
1  Sa.  18. 1-4,  p.  421. 

David  and  the  shewbread; 
eighty-five  priests  and  all  the 
men,  women,  and  childi'en  of  the 
city  of  Nob  slain  by  Saul's  com- 
mand.   - 

1  Sa.  21—1  Then  came  David  to 
Nob  to  Ahimelech  the  priest:  and 
Ahimelech  was  afraid  at  the 
meeting  of  David,  and  said  unto 
him,  Why  art  thou  alone,  and  no 
man  with  thee? 

2  And  David  said.  The  king 
hath  commanded  me  a  business, 
and  said  unto  me.  Let  no  man 
know  any  thing  of  the  business 
whereabout  I  send  thee. 

3  Now  therefore  what  is  under 
thine  hand?  give  me  live  loaves 
of  bread  in  mine  hand. 

4  And  the  priest  said.  There  is 
no  common  bread  under  mine 
hand,  but  there  is  hallowed  bread ; 
if  the  young  men  have  kept  them- 
selves at  least  from  women. 

5  And  David  said.  Of  a  truth 
women  have  been  kept  from  us 
about  the.se  three  days,  since  I 


came  out,  and  the  vessels  of  the 
young  men  are  holy,  and  the 
bread  is  in  a  manner  common,  yea, 
though  it  were  sanctified  this  day. 

6  So  the  priest  gave  him  hal- 
lowed bread:  for  there  was  no 
bread  there  but  the  shewbread. 

7  Now  a  certain  man  of  the  ser- 
vants of  Saul  was  there  that  day ; 
and  his  name  was  Doeg,  an  Ed- 
mouite,  the  chiefest  of  the  herd- 
men  that  belonged  to  Saul. 

8  And  David  said  unto  Ahime- 
lech, And  is  there  not  here  under 
thine  hand  spear  or  sword?  for  I 
have  neither  brought  my  sword 
nor  my  weapons  with  me,  because 
the  king's  business  required  haste. 

9  And  the  priest  said.  The  sword 
of  Goliath  the  Philistine,  whom 
thou  slewest  in  the  valley  of  Elah, 
it  is  liere:  if  thou  wilt  take  that, 
take  it.  And  David  .said,  There  is 
none  like  that ;  give  it  me. 


1  Sa.  22—1  David  therefore  de- 
parted thence,  and  escaped  to  the 
cave  Adullam:  and  when  his 
brethren  and  all  his  father's  house 
heard  it,  they  went  down  thither 
to  him. 

2  And  everyone  that  was  in  dis- 
tress, and  every  one  that  was  in 
debt,  and  every  one  that  was  dis- 
contented, gathered  themselves 
unto  him ;  and  he  became  a  cap- 
tain over  them:  and  there  were 
with  himabout  four  hundred  men. 

11  Then  Saul  sent  to  call  Ahi- 
melech the  prie.st,  the  son  of  Ahi- 
tub,  and  all  nis  father's  house,  the 
priests  that  were  in  Nob :  and  they 
came  all  of  them  to  the  king. 

17  And  the  king  said  imto  the 
footmen  that  stood  about  him. 
Turn,  and  slay  the  priests  of  the 
Lord  ;  because  their  hand  also  is 
with  David,  and  becau.se  they 
knew  when  he  fled,  and  did  not 
shew  it  to  me.  But  the  servants 
of  the  king  would  not  put  forth 
their  hand  to  fall  upon  the  priests 
of  the  Lord. 

18  And  the  king  .said  to  Doeg, 
Turn  thou,  and  fall  upon  the 
priests.  And  Doeg  the  Edmonite 
turned,  and  he  fell  upon  the 
priests,  and  slew  on  that  day  four- 
score and  five  persons  that  did 
wear  a  liuen  ephod. 

19  And  Nob,  the  city  of  the 
priests,  smote  he  with  the  edge  of 
the  .sword,  both  men  and  women, 
children  and  sucklings,  and  oxeu, 
and  asses,  and  sheep. 


361 


Abuerand  Amasa  slain  by  Joab, 
general-iu-chief  of  David's  army. 
David's  curse  upon  Joab.  Abncr 
was  slain  by  Joab  because  David 
■was  about  to  make  biui  general 
in  his  place,  and  also  because  he 
killed  his  brother  Asahel  in  bat- 
tle (2  8a.  2.  23,  p.  423).  David  ap- 
pointed Amasa  geueral-in-chief 
of  his  army  in  place  of  Joab,  be- 
cause Joab  slew  Absalom  in  bat- 
tle (2  Sa.  18.  14.  p.  428).  Yet  Joab 
slew  Amasa,  and  thus  compelled 
David  to  retain  him  as  his  gen- 
eral-in-chief.  Joab  and  Amasa 
were  cousins,  and  David  was 
their  uncle.  SeelOhr.2. 13-17,  p.  43. 

2  Sa.  3—12  And  Abner  sent  mes- 
sengers to  David  saying.  INfake 
thy  league  with  me.  and,  behold, 
my  hand  shall  with  thee,  to  bring 
about  all  Israel  unto  thee. 

13  And  he  said.  Well;  I  will 
make  a  league  with  thee. 

20  So  Abner  came  to  David  to 
Hebron,  and  twenty  men  with 
him.  And  David  made  Abner 
and  the  men  that  were  with  him 
a  feast. 

21  And  Abner  said  unto  David.  I 
will  arise  and  go,  and  will  gather 
all  Israel  unto  my  lord  the  king, 
that  they  may  make  a  league 
with  thee,  and  that  thou  mayest 
reign  over  all  that  thine  heart 
desireth.  And  David  sent  Abner 
away;  and  he  went  in  peace. 

24  Then  Joab  came  to  the  king, 
and  said.  What  hast  thou  done? 
behold,  Abner  came  unto  thee; 
why  is  it  that  thou  hast  sent  him 
away,  and  he  is  quite  gone? 

2.5  Thou  knowest  Abner  the  son 
of  Ner.  that  he  came  to  deceive 
thee,  and  to  know  thy  going  out 
and  thy  coming  in,  and  to  know 
all  that  thou  doest. 

26  And  when  Joab  was  come  out 
from  David,  he  sent  messengers 
after  Abner,  which  brought  him 
again  from  the  well  of  Sirah:  but 
David  knew  it  not. 

27  And  when  Abner  was  return- 
ed to  Hebron,  Joab  took  him  aside 
in  the  gate  to  speak  with  him 
quietly,  and  smote  him  there  un- 
der the  fifth  rib,  that  he  died,  for 
the  blood  of  Asahel  his  brother. 

28  And  aftei-ward  when  David 
heard  it,  he  said,  I  and  my  king- 
dom are  guiltless  before  the  Lord 
for  ever  from  the  blood  of  Abner 
the  son  of  Ner: 


29  Let  it  rest  on  the  head  of 
Joab, and  on  all  his  father's  hou.se ; 
and  let  there  not  fail  from  the 
hou.se  of  Joab  one  that  hath  an 
issue,  or  that  is  a  leper,  or  that 
leaneth  on  a  staff,  or  tliat  falleth 
on  the  sword,  or  that  lacketh 
bread.     _ 

30  So  Joab  and  Abishai  his  broth- 
er slew  Abner,  because  he  had 
slain  their  brother  Asahel  at  Gib- 
eon  in  the  battle. 

31  And  David  said  to  Joab,  and 
to  all  the  people  that  were  with 
him.  Rend  your  clothes,  and  gird 
you  with  sackcloth,  and  mourn 
before  Abner.  And  king  David 
himself  followed  the  bier. 

32  And  they  buried  Abner  in  He- 
bron: and  the  king  lifted  up  his 
v<iice,  and  wept  at  the  grave  of 
Aimer;  and  all  the  people  wept. 

33  And  the  king  lamented  over 
Abner,  and  said,  Died  Abner  as  a 
fool  dieth? 

:34  Thy  hands  were  not  bound, 
nor  thy  feet  put  into  fetters:  as  a 
man  falleth  before  wicked  men, so 
fellest  thou.  And  all  the  people 
wept  again  over  him. 

38  And  the  king  .said  unto  his 
servants,  KnoM'  ye  not  that  there 
is  a  prince  and  a  great  man  fallen 
this  day  in  Israel? 

39  And  I  am  this  day  weak, 
though annointed  king;  andthese 
men  the  sons  of  Zeruiah  be  too 
hard  for  me:  the  Lord  shall  re- 
ward the  doer  of  evil  according  to 
his  wickedness. 


2  Sa.  19—11  And  kingDavid  sent 
to  Zadok  and  to  Abiathar  the 
priests,  saying.  Speak, 

13  And  say  ye  to  Amasa,  Art 
tliou  not  of  my  bone,  and  of  my 
tiesh?  God  do  so  to  me,  and  more 
also,  if  thovi  be  not  captain  of  the 
host  before  me  continually  in  the 
room  of  Joab. 

2  Sa.  20—1  Then  said  King  Da- 
vid to  Amasa,  Assemble  me  the. 
menof  Judah  within  three  days, 
and  be  thou  here  present. 

9  And  JoaV)  said  to  Amasa,  Art 
thou  in  health,  my  brother?  And 
Joab  took  Ama.sa  by  the  beard 
with  the  right  hand  to  kiss  him. 

10  But  Amasa  took  no  heed  to 
the  sword  that  was  in  Joab's 
hand :  so  he  sriiote  him  therewith 
in  the  fifth  rib,  and  shed  out  his 
bowels  to  the  ground,  and  stnick 
him  not  again;  and  he  died.

Amnon,  the  son  of  King  David, 
ravished  his  half  sister  Tamar. 
Death  of  Amnon,  etc. 

2  Sa.  13—1  And  Absalom  the  son 
of  David  had  a  fair  sister,  whose 
name  was  Tamar;  and  Amnon 
the  son  of  David  loved  her. 

2  And  Amnon  was  so  vexed,  that 
he  fell  sick  for  his  sister  Tamar; 
for  she  was  a  virgin;  and  Amnon 
thought  it  hard  for  him  to  do  any 
tiling  to  her. 

3  But  Amnon  had  a  friend, 
whose  name  was  Jonadab,  the  son 
of  Shimeah  David's  brother:  and 
Jonadab  was  a  very  subtile  man. 

4  And  he  said.  Why  art  thou, 
bemg  the  king's  sou,  lean  from 
day  to  day?  wilt  thou  not  tell  me? 
And  Amnon  said,  I  love  Tamar, 
my  brother  Absalom's  sister. 

5  And  Jonadab  said  unto  him. 
Lay  thee  down  on  thy  bed,  and 
make  thyself  sick:  and  when  thy 
father  cometh  to  see  thee,  say  un- 
to him,  I  pray  thee,  let  my  sister 
Tamar  come,  and  give  me  meat. 

6  So  Amnon  lay  down,  and 
made  himself  sick :  and  when  the 
king  was  come  to  see  him,  Amnon 
said  unto  the  king,  1  pray  thee, 
let  Tamar  my  sister  come,  and 
make  me  a  couple  of  cakes  in  my 
sight,  that  I  may  eat  at  her  hand. 

7  Then  David  sent  home  to  Ta- 
mar, saying.  Go  now  to  thy  broth- 
er Amnon's  house,  and  dress  him 
meat. 

8  So  Tamar  went  to  her  brother 
Amnon's  house;  and  he  was  laid 
down.  And  she  took  Hour,  and 
kneaded  it,  and  made  cakes  in 
his  sight,  and  did  bake  the  cakes. 

9  And  she  took  a  pan,  and 
poured  them  out  before  him;  but 
he  refused  to  eat.  And  Amnon 
said.  Have  out  all  men  from  me. 
And  they  went  out  every  man 
from  him. 

10  And  Amnon  said  unto  Tamar, 
Bring  the  meat  into  the  chamber, 
that  I  may  eat  of  thine  hand. 

11  And  when  she  had  brought 
them  unto  him  to  eat,  he  took  hold 
of  her,  and  said  unto  her.  Come 
lie  with  me,  my  sister. 

12  And  she  answered  him.  Nay, 
my  brother,  do  not  force  me ;  for 
no  such  thing  ought  to  be  done  in 
Israel :  do  not  thou  this  folly. 

13  And  I,  whither  shall  1  cause 
my  shame  to  go?  and  as  for  thee, 
thou  shalt  be  as  one  of  the  fools  in 


Israel.  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
speak  unto  the  king;  for  he  will 
not  withhold  me  from  thee. 

14  Howbeit  he  would  not  heark- 
en unto  her  voice:  but,  being 
stronger  than  she,  forced  her,  and 
lay  with  her. 

15  Then  Amnon  hated  her  ex- 
ceedingly; so  that  the  hatred 
wherewith  he  hated  her  was 
greater  than  the  love  wherewith 
he  had  loved  her.  And  Amnon 
said  unto  her.  Arise,  be  gone. 

16  And  she  said  unto  him.  There 
is  no  cause:  this  evil  in  sending 
me  away  is  greater  than  the  other 
that  thou  didst  unto  me.  But  he 
would  not  hearken  imto  her. 

17  Then  he  called  his  servant 
that  ministered  unto  him,  and 
said,  Put  now  this  woman  out  from 
me,  and  bolt  the  door  after  her. 

18  And  she  had  a  garment  of  di- 
vers colours  upon  her:  for  with 
such  robes  were  the  king's  daugh- 
ters that  were  virgins  apparelled. 
Then  hisservant  brought  her  out, 
and  bolted  the  door  after  her. 

19  And  Tamar  put  ashes  on  her 
head,  and  rent  ner  garment  of 
divers  colours  that  was  on  her, 
aad  laid  her  hand  on  her  head, 
and  went  on  crying. 

20  And  Absalom  her  brother  said 
unto  her.  Hath  Amnon  thy  broth- 
er been  with  thee?  but  hold  now 
thy  peace,  my  sister:  he  is  thy 
brother;  regard  not  this  thing. 
So  Tamar  remained  desolate  in 
her  brother  Absalom's  house. 

21  But  when  kuig  David  heard 
of  all  these  things,  he  was  very 
wroth. 

22  And  Absalom  spake  unto  his 
brother  Amnon  neither  good  nor 
bad:  for  Absalom  hated  Amnon, 
because  he  had  forced  his  sister 
Tamar. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass  after  two 
years,  that  Absalom  had  sheei> 
shearers  in  Baal-hazor,  and  in- 
vited all  the  king's  sons.    1  Chr.  3. 

28  Now  Absalom  had  command- 
ed his  servants,  saying,  Mark  ye 
now  when  Amnon's  heart  is 
merry  with  wine,  and  when  I  say 
unto  you.  Smite  Amnon;  then 
kill  him,  fear  not:  have  not  I 
commanded  you? 

29  And  the  servants  of  Absalom 
did  unto  Amnon  as  Absalom  had 
commanded.  Then  all  the  king's 
sons  arose,  and  every  man  gat 
him  up  upon  his  mule,  and  fled. 


363 


38  And  Absalom  fled,  and  went 
to  Geshur,  and  was  there  three 
years. 

2  Sa.  14—23  So  Joab  arose  and 
went  to  Geshur,  and  brought 
Absalom  to  Jerusalem. 

25  But  in  all  Israel  there  was 
none  to  be  so  much  praised  as  Ab- 
salom for  his  beauty:  from  the 
sole  of  his  foot  even  to  the  crown 
of  his  head  there  was  no  blemish 
in  him. 

26  And  when  he  polled  his  head, 
(for  it  was  at  every  year's  end  that 
he  polled  it ;  because  the  hair  was 
heavy  on  him,  therefore  he  polled 
it:)  he  weighed  the  hair  of  his 
head  at  two  hundred  shekels  after 
the  king's  weight. 

27  And  unto  Absalom  there  were 
born  three  sons,  and  one  daughter, 
whose  name  was  Tamar:  she 
was  a  woman  of  a  fair  counte- 
nance. 

28  So  Absalom  dwelt  two  full 
years  in  Jerusalem,  and  saw  not 
the  king's  face. 

33  So  Joab  came  to  the  king,  and 
told  him :  and  when  he  had  called 
for  Absalom,  he  came  to  the  king, 
and  bowed  himself  on  his  face  to 
the  ground  before  the  king:  and 
the  king  kissed  Absalom. 

The  Lord  caused  David  to  num- 
ber the  people  of  Israel,  and  for 
so  doing  he  slew  70,000  of  them  by 
a  pestilence:  and,  as  an  angel  was 
destroying  Jerusalem,  the  Lord 
repented,  and  stayed  his  hand. 

1  Chr.  21—1  And  Satan  stood  up 
against  Israel,  and  provoked  Da- 
vid to  number  Israel. 

(2  Sa.  24—1  And  again  the  anger 
of  the  Lord  waskmdled  against 
Israel,  and  he  moved  David 
against  them  to  say.  Go,  number 
Israel  and  Judah.) 

2  And  David  said  to  Joab  and  to 
the  i-ulers  of  the  people,  Go,  num- 
ber Israel. 

5  And  Joab  gave  the  sum  of 
the  number  of  the  people  unto 
David.  And  all  they  of  Israel 
were  a  thousand  thousand  and  a 
hundred  thousand  men  that  drew 
sword:  and  Judah  was  four  hun- 
dred threescore  and  ten  thousand 
men  that  drew  sword. 

6  But  Levi  and  Benjamin  count- 
ed he  not  among  them:  for  the 
king's  word  was  abominable  to 
Joab. 


(2  Sa.  24—9  And  Joab  gave  up  the 
sum  of  the  number  of  the  people 
unto  the  king:  and  there  were  iu 
Israel  eight  hundred  thousand 
valiant  men  that  drew  the  sword ; 
and  the  men  of  Judah  were  five 
hundred  thousand  men.) 

7  And  God  was  displeased  with 
this  thing;  therefore  he  smote  Is- 
rael. 

(2Sa.  24—11  For  when  David  was 
up  in  the  morning,  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  the  prophet  Gad, 
David's  seer,  saying, 

12  Go  and  say  unto  David,  Tlius 
saith  the  Lord,  I  offer  thee  three 
things;  choose  thee  one  of  them, 
that  1  may  do  it  unto  thee.) 

12  Either  three  years'  famine: 
or  three  mouths  to  be  destroyed 
before  thy  foes,  while  that  the 
sword  of  thine  enemies  overtak- 
eth  thee;  or  else  three  days  tlie 
sword  of  the  Lord,  even  the  pesti- 
lence, in  the  land,  and  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  destroying  through- 
out all  the  coasts  of  Israel. 

13  And  David  said  unto  Gad,  I 
am  in  a  great  strait:  let  me  fall 
now  into  the  hand  of  the  Lord  ; 
for  very  great  are  his  mercies: 
but  let  me  not  fall  into  the  hand 
of  man. 

14  So  the  Lord  sent  pestilence 
upon  Israel:  and  there  fell  of  Is- 
rael seventy  thousand  men. 

15  And  God  sent  an  angel  unto 
Jerusalem  to  destroy  it:  and  as  he 
was  destroying,  the  Lord  beheld, 
and  he  repented  him  of  the  evil, 
and  said  to  the  angel  that  destroy- 
ed. It  is  enough,  stay  now  thine 
hand.  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
stood  by  the  threshingtioor  of  Or- 
uan  the  Jebusite. 

16  And  David  saw  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  stand  between  the  eaj:th 
and  the  heaven,  having  a  drawn 
sword  in  his  hand  stretched  out 
over  Jerusalem.  Then  David  and 
the  elders  of  Israel,  clothed  iu 
.sackcloth,  fell  upon  their  faces. 

17  And  David  said  unto  God,  Is 
it  not  1  that  commanded  the  peo- 
ple to  be  numbered?  but  as  for 
these  sheer),  what  have  they 
done?  let  thine  hand,  I  pray  thee, 
be  on  me,  and  on  my  father's 
house ;  but  not  on  thy  people. 

18  Then  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
commanded  Gad  to  say  to  David, 
Go  up,  and  set  up  an  altar  unto 
the  Lord  in  the  threshingfloor  of 
Oman  the  Jebusite.

19  And  David  went  up  at  the 
saying  of  Gad. 

20  And  Oman  turned  back,  d^d 
saw  tlie  angel ;  and  his  four  sons 
with  liim  hid  themselves.  Now 
Oman  was  threshmg  wheat. 

21  And  as  David  came  toOruan, 
Oman  looked  and  saw  David,  and 
went  out  of  the  threshiuglioor, 
and  bowed  himself  to  David. 

22  Then  David  said  to  Oman, 
Grant  me  the  place  of  thisthresh- 
ingfloor,  that  1  may  build  an  altar 
therein  unto  the  Lord. 

23  And  Oman  said.  Take  it,  and 
let  my  lord  the  king  do  that 
which  is  good  in  his  eyes:  lo,  I 
give  thee  the  oxen  also  tor  bui-nt 
offerings,  and  the  thresliing  instm- 
ineiits  for  wood,  and  the  wheat  for 
the  meat  offering;  I  give  it  all. 

24  And  king  Davidsaid  to  Oman, 
Nay;  but  l will  buy  it  for  the  full 
price:  for  I  will  not  take  that 
which  is  thine  for  the  Lord,  nor 
offer  biuiit  offerings  withovit  cost. 

25  So  David  gave  to  Oman  for 
the  place  six  hundred  shekels  of 
gold  by  weight. 

(2  Sa.  24—24  And  the  king  said 
unto  Arauuah,  Nay;  but  I  will 
buy  it  of  thee  at  a  price:  neither 
will  I  offer  bui-nt  offerings  unto 
the  Lord  of  that  which  doth  cost 
me  nothing.  So  David  bought  the 
threshiugtioor  and  the  oxen  for 
fifty  shekels  of  silver.) 

26  AndDavidbuilt  there  an  altar 
tmto  the  Lord,  and  offered  burnt 
offerings  and  peace  offerings,  and 
called  upon  the  Lord;  and  he 
answered  him  from  heaven  by  tire 
upon  the  altar  of  burnt  offeriiig. 

27  And  the  Lord  commanded 
the  angel ;  and  he  put  up  hissword 
again  mto  the  sheath  tliereof .

Solomon  annoiuted  king.  His 
first  official  act  was  to  have  his 
brother  Adonijah  put  to  death, 
because  he  wanted  the  beautiful 
Abishag.a  Shuuammite,the  wom- 
an that  Solomon  wanted  himself. 


Solomon  loved  by  the  Lord,  and 
chosen  by  him  to  be  king  over  all 
Israel.  2  Sa.  12.  24  and  l  Chr.  22.  9. 
p.  427:  and  2  Sa.  7.  12-16.  p.  3G6. 
See  also  Solomon's  one  thousand 
wives  and  concubines.  1  Ki.  ii.  3, 
p.  372. 


1  Ki.  1—1  Now  king  David  was 
old  and  stricken  in  years;  and 
they  covered  him  with  clothes, 
but  he  gat  no  heat. 

2  Wherefore  his  servants  said 
unto  him.  Let  there  be  sought  for 
my  lord  the  king  a  young  virgin : 
and  let  her  stand  before  the  king, 
and  let  her  cherish  him,  and  let 
her  lie  in  thy  bosom,  that  my  lord 
the  king  may  get  heat. 

3  So  they  sought  for  a  fair  dam- 
sel throughout  all  the  coasts  of 
Israel,  ana  found  Abishag  a  Shu- 
nammite,  and  brought  her  to  the 
king. 

4  And  the  damsel  was  very  fair, 
and  cherished  the  king,  and  min- 
istered to  him:  but  the  king  knew 
her  not. 

5  Then  Adonijah  the  sou  of  Hag- 
gith  exalted  himself,  saying.  1 
will  be  king:  and  he  prepared 
him  chariots  and  horsemen,  and 
tity  men  to  run  before  him. 

7  And  he  conferred  with  Joab 
the  son  of  Zeruiah,  and  with 
Abiathar  the  priest:  and  they  fol- 
lowing Adonijah  helped  him. 

24  And  Nathan  said.  My  lord,  O 
king,  hast  thou  said,  Adonijah 
shall  reign  after  me,  and  he  shall 
sit  upon  my  throne? 

2.5  For  he  is  gone  down  this  day. 
and  hath  slam  oxen  and  fat  cat- 
tle and  sheep  in  abundance,  and 
hath  called  all  the  king's  sons, 
and  the  captains  of  the  host,  and 
Abiathar  the  priest ;  and,  behold, 
they  eat  and  drink  before  him, 
and  say,  God  save  king  Adonijah. 

26  But  me,  even  me  thy  servant, 
and  Zadok  the  priest, and  Beuaiah 
the  son  of  Jehoiada,  and  thy  serv- 
ant Solomon,  hath  he  not  called, 

28  Then  king  David  answered 
and  said.CallmeBath-sheba.  And 
she  came  into  the  king's  presence, 
and  stood  before  the  king. 

29  And  the  kingsware,  and  said. 
As  the  Lord  liveth.  that  hath  re- 
deemed my  soul  out  of  all  dis- 
tress. 

30  Even  as  I  sware  vmto  thee  by 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  saying, 
Assui'edly  Solomon  thy  son  shall 
reign  after  me,  and  he  shall  sit  up- 
on my  throne  in  my  stead ;  even 
so  will  I  certainly  do  this  day. 

31  Then  Beth-sueba  bowed  with 
her  face  to  the  earth.  &nd  did 
reverence  to  the  king,  and  said. 
Let  my  lord  king  David  live  for 
ever. 


365 


3_'  And  king  David  said.  Call 
me  Zadok  the  priest,  and  Nathan 
the  prophet,  and  Benaiah  the  son 
of  Jehoiada.  And  they  came  be- 
fore the  king. 

33  The  king  also  said  nnto  them, 
Take  with  yon  the  servants  of 
your  lord,  and  cause  Solomon  my 
son  to  ride  upon  mine  own  mule, 
and  bring  him  down  to  Gihon: 

3i  And  let  Zadok  the  priest  and 
Nathan  the  prophet  anoint  him 
there  king  over  Israel:  and  blow 
ye  with  the  trumpet,  and  say,  God 
save  king  Solomon. 

39  And  Zadok  the  priest  took  a 
horn  of  oil  out  of  the  tabernacle, 
and  anointed  Solomon.  And  they 
blew  the  trumpet :  and  all  the  peo- 
ple said,  God  save  king  Solomon. 

40  And  all  the  people  came  up 
after  him,  and  the  people  piped 
with  pipes,  and  rejoiced  with 
great  joy,  so  that  the  earth  rent 
with  the  sound  of  them. 

50  And  Adonijah  feared  because 
of  Solomon,  and  arose,  and  went, 
and  caught  hold  on  the  horns  of 
the  altar. 

51  And  it  was  told  Solomon  say- 
ing,Behold,  Adoniiah  feareth  king 
Solomon ;  tor,  lo,  he  hath  caught 
hold  on  the  horns  of  the  altar,  say- 
ing, Let  king  Solomon  swear  unto 
me  to  day  that  he  will  not  slay  his 
servant  with  the  sword. 

52  And  Solomon  said,  If  he  will 
shew  himself  a  worthy  man,  there 
shall  not  a  hair  of  him  fall  to  the 
earth:  but  if  wickedness  shall  be 
found  in  him,  he  shall  die. 

53  So  king  Solomon  sent,  and 
they  brought  him  down  fi'om  the 
altar.  And  he  came  and  bowed 
himself  to  king  Solomon:  and 
Solomon  said  unto  him.  Go  to 
thine  house.    [ 

1  Ki.  2—1  Now  the  dayis  of  David 
drew  nigh  that  he  should  die ;  and 
he  charged  Solomon  his  son,  say- 
ing. 

2  1  go  the  way  of  all  the  earth: 
be  thou  strong  therefore,  and 
shew  thyself  a  man: 

3  And  keep  the  charge  of  the 
Lord  thy  God,  to  walk  in  his 
ways,  to  keep  his  statutes,  and  his 
commandments,  and  his  judg- 
ments, and  his  testimonies,  as  it 
is  written  in  the  law  of  Moses, 
that  thou  mayest  prosper  in  all 
that  thou  doest,  and  whitherso- 
ever thou  tuniest  thyself: 


4  That  the  Lord  may  continue 
his  word  which  he  spake  concern- 
ing me,  saying.  If  thy  childreu 
take  lieed  to  their  way,  to  walk 
before  me  in  truth  with  all  their 
heart  and  with  all  their  soul, there 
shall  not  fail  thee  (said  he)  a  man 
on  the  throne  of  Israel. 

5  Moreover  thou  knowest  also 
what  Joabthe  son  of  Zeruiah  did 
to  me,  and  what  he  did  to  the  two 
captains  of  the  hosts  of  Israel,  mi- 
to  Abner  the  son  of  Ner,  and  unto 
Amasa  the  son  of  Jetlier,  whom 
he  slew,  and  shed  the  blood  of  war 
in  peace,  l  Sa.  3  and  20,  p.  361. 
Death  of  Joab,  vrs.  29,34,next  page. 

6  Do  therefore  according  to  tny 
wisdom,  and  let  not  his  hoar  head 
go  down  to  the  grave  in  peace. 

10  So  David  slept  with  his  fa- 
thers, and  was  bm'ied  in  the  city 
of  David. 

U  And  the  days  that  David 
reigned   over  Israel    were   forty 

Sears:  seven  years  reigned  he  in 
[ebron,  and  thirty  and  three 
vears  reigned  he  in  Jerusalem.  2 
Sa.  5.  5. 

12  Then  sat  Solomon  upon  the 
throne  of  David  his  father ;  and 
his  kingdom  was  established. 

13  And  Adonijah  the  son  of  Hag- 
gith  came  to  Bath-sheba  the 
mother  of  Solomon.  And  she 
said,  Comcst  thou  peaceably?  And 
he  said.  Peaceably, 

17  And  he  said.  Speak,  I  pray 
thee,  unto  Solomon  the  king,  (for 
he  will  not  say  thee  nay,)  that  he 
give  me  Abishag  the  Shunam- 
mite  to  wife.    SS.  6. 13,  p.  174. 

18  And  Bath-sheba  said.  Well; 
I  will  speak  for  thee. 

19  Bath-sheba  therefore  went 
imto  king  Solomon.  And  the  king 
rose  up  to  meet  her,  and  bowed 
himself  unto  her,  and  sat  down  on 
his  throne,  and  caused  a  seat  to 
be  set  for  the  king's  mother;  and 
she  sat  on  his  right  hand. 

20  Then  she  said,  I  desire  one 
small  petition  of  thee ;  I  pray  thee, 
say  me  not  nay^  And  the  king 
said  unto  her.  Ask  on,  my  mother; 
for  I  will  not  say  thee  nay. 

21  And  she  said.  Let  Abishag 
the  Shunammite  be  given  to 
Adonijah  thy  brother  to  wife. 

22  And  king  Solomon  said.  And 
why  dost  thou  ask  Abishag  the 
Shunammite  for  Adonijah?  ask 
for  him  the  kingdom  also ;  for  he 
is  mine  elder  brother. 


366 


23  Then  king  Solomon  sware  by 
tlie  Lord,  saying,  God  do  so  to 
me,  and  more  also,  if  Adonijah 
liave  not  spoken  this  word  against 
his  own  lite. 

25  And  king  Solomon  sent  by  the 
hand  of  Benaiah  the  son  of  Jehoi- 
ada ;  and  he  fell  upon  him  that  he 
died. 

29  And  it  was  told  king  Solomon 
that  Joab  was  fled  unto  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  LoKD-  and,  behold, 
lie  is  by  the  altar.  Then  Solomon 
sent  Benaiah  the  son  of  Jehoiada, 
saying.  Go,  fall  upon  him. 

31  So  Benaiah  thesonof  Jehoiada 
went  up,  and  fell  upon  him,  and 
slew  hmi:  and  he  was  buried  in 
his  own  house  in  the  wilderness. 

'  Solomon's  Temple,  seven  years 
in  building,  finished  and  dedi- 
cated in  the  year,  1004  B.C.,  de- 
stroyed by  the  Chaldeans 588  B.C., 
see  2  Ki.  25.  9,  p.  35.  Rebuilt  by 
Zerubbabel  520,  B.C.,  see  Ezr.  1  and 
3. 8,  and  Hag.  l  and  2,also  Eze. 40-44. 
Herod  began  to  rebuild  or  enlarge 
the  Temple  20  B.C.,  and  finished 
the  work  m  eight  years.  The  Tem- 
ple was  destroyed  by  the  Romans 
imder  Titus  in  the  year  70,  and 
not  since  rebuilt. 

2  Sa.  7—1  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  king  sat  in  his  house, 
and  the  Lord  had  given  him  rest 
round  about  from  all  his  enemies ; 

2  That  the  king  said  unto  Nathan 
the  prophet.  See  now,  I  dwell  in 
a  house  of  cedar,  but  the  ark  of 
God  dwelleth  within  curtains. 
See  2  Sa.  5. 11,  p.  120. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass  that  night, 
that  the  word  of  the»LoRD  came 
unto  Nathan,  saying, 

5  Go  and  tell  my  servant  David, 
Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Shalt  thou 
build  me  a  house  for  me  to  dwell 
in?  ,      ,    . 

6  Wliereas  I  have  not  dwelt  m 
any  house  since  the  time  that  I 
brought  up  the  children  of  Israel 
out  of  Egypt,  even  to  this  day, 
but  have  walked  in  a  tent  and  in 
a  tabernacle. 

7  In  all  the  places  wherein  I  have 
-walked  with  all  the  children  of  Is- 
rael spake  I  a  word  with  any  of 
the  tribes  of  Israel,  whom  I  com- 
manded, saying,  Why  build  ye 
not  me  a  house  of  cedar? 

8  Now  therefore  so  shalt  thou 
say  unto  my  servant  David,  Thus 


saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  I  took 
thee  from  the  sheepcote,  from 
following  the  sheep,  to  be  ruler 
over  my  people,  over  Israel : 

9  And  I  was  with  thee  whither- 
soever thou  wentest,  and  have 
cut  off  all  thine  enemies  out  of 
thy  sight,  and  have  made  thee  a 
great  name,  like  unto  the  name 
of  the  great  men  that  are  in  the 
earth. 

12  And  when  thy  days  be  ful- 
filled, and  thou  shalt  sleep  with 
thy  fatbers,  I  will  set  up  thy  seed 
after  thee,  which  shall  proceed 
out  of  thy  boM'els,  and  I  will  es- 
tablish his  kingdom. 

13  He  shall  build  a  house  for 
my  name,  and  I  will  stablish  the 
throne  of  his  kingdom  for  ever. 

14  I  will  be  his  father,  and  he 
shall  be  my  son.  If  he  commit 
iniquity,  I  will  chasten  him  with 
the  rod  of  men,  and  with  the 
stripes  of  the  children  of  men: 

15  But  my  mercy  shall  not  de- 
part away  from  him,  as  I  took 
it  from  Saul,  whom  I  put  away 
before  thee. 

16  And  thine  house  and  thy 
kingdom  shall  be  established  for 
ever  before  thee :  thy  throne  shall 
be  established  for  ever.  Ps.  89,  p. 
286. 

1  Chr.  22—5  And  David  said,  Solo- 
mon my  son  is  young  and  tender, 
and  the  house  that  is  to  be  builded 
for  the  Lord  must  be  exceeding 
magnifical,  of  fame  and  of  glory 
throughout  all  countries:  I  will 
therefore  now  make  preparation 
for  it.  So  David  prepared  abim- 
dantly  before  his  death.    • 

7  And  David  said  to  Solomon, 
My  son,  as  for  me,  it  was  in  my 
mmd  to  build  a  house  unto  the 
name  of  the  Lord  my  God: 

8  But  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  me,  saying.  Thou  hast 
shed  blood  abundantly,  and  hast 
made  great  wars:  thou  shalt  not 
build  a  house  unto  my  name,  be- 
cause thou  hast  shed  much  blood 
upon  the  earth  in  my  sight. 

9  Behold,  a  son  shall  be  bom  to 
thee,  who  shall  be  a  man  of  rest ; 
and  I  will  give  him  rest  from  all 
his  enemies  round  about:  for  his 
name  shall  be  Solomon,  and  I  will 
give  peace  and  quietness  unto  Is- 
rael in  his  days. 

10  He  shall  build  a  house  for  my 
name :  and  he  shall  be  my  son,  and 
I  will  be  his  father ;  and  I  will  es- 


367 


tablish  the  throne  of  his  kiugdom 
over  Israel  for  ever. 

U  Now,  behold,  in  my  trouble 
I  have  prepared  for  the  house  of 
the  Lord  a  hundred  thousand  tal- 
ents of  gold,  and  a  thousand  thou- 
sand talents  of  silver ;  and  of  brass 
and  iron  without  weight ;  for  it  is 
in  abundance:  timber  also  and 
stone  have  I  prepared ;  and  thou 
mayest  add  thereto. 

1  Chr.  28—11  Then  David  gave  to 
Solomon  his  son  the  pattern  of 
the  porch,  and  of  the  houses  there- 
of, and  of  the  treasuries,  and  of 
the  upper  chambers,  and  of  the 
inner  parlours,  and  of  the  place  of 
the  mercy  seat. 

12  And  the  pattern  of  all  that  he 
had  by  the  Spirit,  of  the  courts  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  of  all 
the  chambers  round  about,  of  the 
treasuries  of  the  house  of  God, 
and  of  the  treasuries  of  the  dedi- 
cated tilings: 

13  AJso  for  the  courses  of  the 
priests  and  the  Levites,  and  for  all 
the  work  of  the  service  of  the 
house,  and  for  all  the  vessels  of 
service  in  tlie  house  of  the  Lord. 

14  He  gave  of  gold  by  weight  for 
things  of  gold,  for  all  instruments 
of  all  manner  of  service;  silver 
also  for  all  instruments  of  silver 
by  weight,  for  all  instruments  of 
every  kind  of  service: 

15  Even  the  weight  for  the  can- 
dlesticks of  gold,  and  for  their 
lamps  of  gold,  by  weight  for  every 
candlestick,  and  for  the  lamps 
thereof:  and  for  the  candlesticks 
of  silver  by  weight,  both  for  the 
candlestick,  and  also  for  the 
lamps  thereof. 

16  And  by  weight  he  gave  gold 
for  the  tables  of  shrewbread,  for 
every  table;  and  likewise  silver 
for  the  tables  of  silver: 

17  Also  pure  gold  for  the  flesh- 
hooks,  and  the  bowls,  and  the 
cups:  and  for  the  golden  basins 
he  gave  gold  by  weight  for  every 
basin;  and  likewise  silver  by 
weight  for  every  basin  of  silver: 

18  And  for  the  altar  of  incense 
refined  gold  by  weight;  and  gold 
for  the  pattern  of  the  chariot  of 
the  cherubim,  that  spread  out 
their  wings,  and  covered  the  ark 
of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord. 

19  All  this,  said  David,  the  Lord 
made  me  understand  in  writing 
by  his  hand  upon  me,  even  all  the 
works  of  this  pattern. 


1  Chr.  29—1  Furthermore  David 
the  king  said  unto  all  the  congre- 
gation, Solomon  my  son,  whom 
alone  God  hath  chosen,  is  yet 
young  and  tender,  and  the  work 
IS  great:  for  the  palace  is  not  for 
man,  but  for  the  Lord  God. 

2  Now  I  have  prepared  with  all 
my  might  for  tlie  house  of  my  God 
the  gold  for  things  to  be  made  of 
gold,  and  the  silver  for  things  of 
silver,  and  the  brass  for  things  of 
brass,  the  iron  for  things  of  iron, 
and  wood  ^or  things  of  wood; 
onyx  stones,  and  stones  to  be  set, 
glistering  stones,  and  of  divers 
coloui'S,  and  all  manner  of  pre- 
cious stones,  and  marble  stones  in 
abundance. 

3  Moreover,  because  1  have  set 
my  affection  to  the  house  of  my 
God,  1  have  of  mine  own  proper 
good,  of  gold  and  silver,  wnicn  1 
have  given  to  the  house  of  my 
God,  over  and  above  all  that  I 
have  prepared  for  the  holy  liouse, 

4  Even  three  thousand  talents  of 
gold,  of  the  gold  of  Ophir,  and 
seven  thousand  talents  of  refined 
silver,  to  overlay  the  walls  of  the 
houses  withal : 

6  Then  the  chief  of  the  fathers 
and  princes  of  the  tribes  of  Israel, 
and  the  captains  of  thousands  and 
of  hundreds,  with  the  rulers  of 
the  kmg's  work,  offered  willingly, 

7  And  gave,  for  the  service  of 
the  house  of  God,  of  gold  five 
thousand  talents  and  ten  thou- 
sand drams,  and  of  silver  ten  thou- 
sand talents,  and  of  brass  eighteen 
thousand  talents,  and  one  hun- 
dred thousand  talents  of  iron. 

8  And  they  with  whom  precious 
stones  were  found  gave  them  to 
the  treasure  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

9  Then  the  people  rejoiced,  for 
that  they  offered  willingly,  be- 
cause with  perfect  heart  they  of- 
fered willingly  to  the  Lord:  and 
David  the  kmg  also  rejoiced  with 
great  joy. 

1  Ki.  5—1  And  Hiram  king  of 
Tyre  sent  his  servants  unto  Solo- 
mon; for  he  had  heard  that  they 
had  anointed  him  king  in  the 
room  of  his  father :  for  Hiram  was 
ever  a  lover  of  David. 

2  And  Solomon  sent  to  Hiram, 
saying, 

3  Thou  knowest  how  that  David 
my  father  could  not  build  a  house 
unto  the  name  of  t^ve  Lord  his 


368 


God,  for  the  wars  which  were 
about  him  on  every  side,  imtil  the 
Lord  put  them  under  the  soles  of 
his  feet. 

5  And,  behold,  I  purpose  to  build 
a  house  unto  the  name  of  the 
Lord  my  God,  as  the  Lord  spake 
unto  David  my  father,  saying. 
Thy  son,  whom  1  will  set  upon 
thy  throne  in  thy  room,  he  shall 
build  a  house  unto  my  name. 

6  Now  therefore  command  thou 
that  they  hew  me  cedar  trees  out 
of  Lebanon ;  andmyservantsshall 
be  with  thy  servants:  and  unto 
thee  will  I  ^ive  hire  for  thy  serv- 
ants according  to  all  that  thou 
shalt  appoint:  for  thou  knowest 
that  there  is  not  among  us  any 
that  can  skill  to  hew  timber  like 
unto  the  Sidoniaus. 

7  If  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Hiram  heard  the  words  of  Solo- 
mon, that  he  rejoiced  greatly,  and 
said.  Blessed  be  the  Lord  this  day, 
which  hath  given  unto  David  a 
wise  .son  over  this  great  people. 

8  And  Hiram  sent  to  Solomon, 
saying,  I  have  considered  the 
things  which  thou  sentest  to  me 
for:  and  1  will  do  all  thy  desire 
concerning  timber  of  cedar,  and 
concerning  timber  of  fir. 

9  My  servants  shall  bring  them 
down  from  Lebanon  unto  tlie  sea; 
and  I  will  convey  them  by  sea  in 
floats  unto  the  place  that  thou 
shalt  appoint  me,  and  will  cause 
them  to  be  discharged  there,  and 
thou  shalt  receive  them :  and  thou 
shalt  accomplish  my  desire,  in 
giving  food  for  my  household. 

10  So  Hiram  gave  Solomon  cedar 
trees  and  fir  trees  according  to  all 
his  desire. 

11  And  Solomon  gave  Hiram 
twenty  thousand  measures  of 
wheat  for  food  to  his  household, 
and  twenty  measures  of  pure  oil: 
thus  gave  Solomon  to  Hiram  year 
by  year. 

13  IT  And  king  Solomon  raised 
a  levy  out  of  all  Israel;  and  the 
levy  was  thirty  thousand  men. 

14  And  he  sent  them  to  Lebanon, 
ten  thousand  a  month  by  courses: 
a  month  they  were  in  Lebanon, 
and  two  months  at  home. 

15  And  Solomon  had  threescore 
and  ten  thousand  that  bare  bur- 
dens, and  fourscore  thousand  hew- 
ers in  the  mountains ; 

16  Besides  the  chief  of  Solomon's 
ofScers  which  were  over  the  work. 


three  thousand  and  three  Inin- 
dred,  which  ruled  over  the  people 
that  wrought  in  the  work. 

17  And  the  king  commanded, 
and  they  brought  great  .stones, 
costly  stones,  and  hewed  stones,  to 
lay  the  foundation  of  the  house. 

18  And  Solomon's  builders  and 
Hiram's  builders  did  hew  them, 
and  the  stonesquarers:  so  they 
prepared  timber  and  stones  to 
build  the  house. 

2  Chr.  3—1  Then  Solomon  began 
to  build  the  house  of  the  Lord 
at  Jerusalem  in  mount  Moriah, 
where  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
David  his  father,  intlie  place  that 
David  had  prepared  in  tlie  thre.sh- 
ingfloor  of  Oman  the  Jebusite.  1 
Chr.  21.  22,  p.  364. 

1  Ki.  6—1  And  it  came  to  pass  in 
the  four  hundred  and  eightieth 
year  after  the  children  of  Israel 
were  come  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  in  the  fourth  year  of  Solo- 
mon's reign  over  Israel,  in  the 
month  Zif,  which  is  the  second 
month,  that  he  began  to  build  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

2  And  the  house  which  king  Sol- 
omon built  for  the  Lord,  the 
length  thereof  was  threescore  cu- 
bits, and  the  breadth  thereof 
twenty  cubits,  and  the  height 
thereof  thirty  cubits. 

3  And  the  porch  before  the  tem- 
ple of  the  house,  twenty  cubits 
was  the  length  thereof,  according 
to  the  breadth  of  the  house;  and 
ten  cubits  was  the  breadth  thereof 
before  the  house. 

4  And  for  the  house  he  made 
windows  of  narrow  lights. 

5  IF  And  against  the  wall  of  the 
house  he  built  chambers  round 
about,  both  of  the  temple  and  of 
the  oracle:  and  he  made  cham- 
bers round  about. 

6  The  nethermost  chamber  was 
five  cubits  broad,  and  the  middle 
was  six  cirbits  broad,  and  the  third 
was  seven  cubits  broad :  for  with- 
out in  the  wall  of  the  house  he 
made  narrowed  rests  round  about, 
that  the  beams  should  not  be  fast- 
ened in  the  walls  of  the  house. 

7  And  the  house,  when  it  was  in 
building,  was  built  of  stone  made 
ready  before  it  was  brought  thith- 
er:  so  that  there  was  neither  ham- 
mer nor  axe  nor  any  tool  of  iron 
heard  in  the  house,  while  it  was 
in  building. 

8  The  door  for  the  middle  cham- 


3C9 


ber  was  in  the  right  side  of  the 
liduse:  and  they  went  up  with 
winding  stairs  into  the  middle 
chamber,  and  out  of  tlie  middle 
into  the  third. 

9  So  he  bi^ilt  the  house,  and  fin- 
ished it;  and  covered  the  house 
with  beams  and  boards  of  cedar. 

10  And  then  he  built  chambers 
against  all  the  house,  live  cubits 
high:  and  they  rested  on  the 
house  with  timber  of  cedar. 

14  So  Solomon  built  the  house, 
and  finished  it. 

15  And  he  built  the  walls  of  the 
house  within  with  boardsof  cedar, 
both  the  floor  of  the  house,  and 
the  walls  of  the  ceiling:  and  he 
covered  them  on  the  inside  with 
wood,  and  covered  the  floor  of  the 
house  with  planks  of  tir. 

16  And  he  built  twenty  cubits  on 
the  .sides  of  the  house,  both  the 
floor  and  the  walls  with  boards 
of  cedar:  he  even  built  them  for 
it  within,  even  for  the  oracle, 
even  for  the  most  holy  place. 

17  And  the  house,  that  is,  the 
temple  before  it,  was  forty  cubits 
long. 

18  And  the  cedar  of  the  house 
within  was  carved  with  knops  and 
open  flowers:  all  was  cedar ;  there 
was  no  stone  seen. 

19  And  the  oracle  he  prepared 
in  the  house  within,  to  set  there 
the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord. 

20  And  the  oracle  in  the  forepart 
was  twenty  cubits  in  length,  and 
twenty  cubits  in  breadth,  and 
twenty  cubits  in  the  height  there- 
of:  and  he  overlaid  it  with  pure 
gold;  and  so  covered  the  altar 
which  was  of  cedar. 

21  So  Solomon  overlaid  the  house 
within  with  pure  gold:  and  he 
made  a  partition  by  the  chains  of 
gold  before  the  oracle;  and  he 
overlaid  it  with  gold. 

22  And  the  whole  house  he  over- 
laid with  gold,  until  he  had  fin- 
i.shed  all  the  house :  also  the  whole 
altar  that  was  by  the  oracle  he 
overlaid  with  gold. 

23  II  And  within  the  oracle  he 
made  two  cherubim  of  olive  tree, 
each  ten  cubits  high. 

24  And  five  cubits  was  the  one 
wing  of  the  cherub,  and  five  cu- 
bits the  other  wing  of  the  cherub : 
from  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
one  wing  imto  the  uttermost  part 
of  the  other  were  ten  cubits. 


2.5  And  the  other  cherub  was  ten 
cubits;  both  the  cherubim  were 
of  one  measure  and  one  size. 

2G  The  height  of  the  one  cherub 
was  ten  cubits,  and  so  was  it  of 
the  other  cherub. 

27  And  he  set  the  cheriibim 
within  the  inner  house:  and  they 
stretched  forth  the  wings  of  the 
cherubim,  so  that  the  wing  of  the 
one  touched  the  one  wall,  and  the 
wing  of  the  other  cheriib  touched 
the  other  wall;  and  their  wings 
touched  one  another  in  the  mid.st 
of  the  house. 

28  And  he  overlaid  the  cherubim 
with  gold. 

29  And  he  carved  all  the  walls  of 
the  house  round  about  with  carved 
tiguresof  cherubim  and  palm  trees 
and  open  flowers,  within  and 
without. 

30  And  the  floor  of  the  house  he 
overlaid  with  gold,  within  and 
without. 

31  If  And  for  the  entering  of  the 
oracle  he  made  doors  of  olive  tree : 
the  lintel  and  side  posts  were  a 
flfth  part  of  the  wall. 

32  The  two  doors  also  were  of 
olive  tree;  and  he  carved  upon 
them  carvings  of  cherubim  and 
palm  trees  and  open  flowers,  and 
overlaid  them  with  gold,  and 
spread  gold  upon  the  cherubim, 
and  upon  the  palm  trees. 

33  So  also  made  he  for  the  door 
of  the  temple  posts  of  olive  tree,  a 
fourth  part  of  the  wall. 

34  And  the  two  doors  were  of  flr 
tree:  the  two  leaves  of  the  one 
door  were  folding,  and  the  two 
leaves  of  the  other  door  were 
folding. 

35  And  he  carved  thereon  cheru- 
bim and  palm  trees  and  ojjen 
flowers:  and  covered  them  with 
gold  fitted  upon  tlie  carved  work. 

3611  And  he  built  the  inner  coiirt 
with  three  rows  of  hewed  stone, 
and  a  row  of  cedar  beams. 

37  IT  In  the  fourth  year  was  the 
foundation  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord  laid,  in  the  month  Zif : 

38  And  in  the  eleventh  year,  in 
the  month  Bui,  which  is  the 
eighth  month,  was  the  house  fin- 
ished throughout  all  the  parts 
thereof,  and  according  to  all  the 
fashion  of  it.  So  was  he  seven 
years  in  building  it. 

1  Ki.  7—1  But  Solomon  was  build- 
ing his  own  house  thirteen  years, 
and  he  finished  all  his  house. 


370 


2  IT  He  built  also  the  house  of 
the  forest  of  Lebanon :  the  length 
thereof  was  a  hundred  cubits,  and 
the  breadth  thereof  fifty  cubits, 
and  the  height  thereof  thirty  cu- 
bits, upon  four  rows  of  cedar  pil- 
lars, with  cedar  beams  upon  the 
pillars. 

3  And  it  was  covered  with  cedar 
above  upon  the  beams,  that  lay  on 
forty  five  pillars,  fifteen  in  a  row. 

4  And  there  were  windows  in 
three  rows,  and  light  was  against 
light  in  three  ranks. 

5  And  all  the  doors  and  posts 
were  square,  with  the  windows: 
and  liglit  was  against  light  in 
three  ranks. 

6  IT  And  he  made  a  porch  of  pil- 
lars; the  length  thereof  was  fifty 
cubits,  and  the  breadth  thereof 
thirty  cubits:  and  the  porch  was 
before  them:  and  the  other  pil- 
lars and  the  thick  beam  were  oe- 
fore  them. 

7  IT  Then  he  made  a  porch  for 
the  throne  where  he  might  judge, 
even  the  porch  of  judgment:  and 
it  was  covered  with  cedar  from 
one  side  of  the  floor  to  the  other. 

8f  And  his  house  where  he  dwelt 
had  another  court  within  the 
porch,  which  wasof  the  like  work, 
bolomon  made  also  a  house  for 
Pharaoh's  daughter,  whom  he 
had  taken  to  wife,  like  unto  this 
porch. 

9  All  these  were  of  co.stly  stones, 
according  to  the  measures  of 
hewed  stones,  sawed  with  saws, 
within  and  without,  even  from 
the  foundation  unto  the  coping, 
and  so  on  the  outside  toward  the 
great  court. 

10  And  the  foundation  was  of 
costly  stones,  even  great  stones, 
stones  of  ten  cubits,  and  stones  oi 
eight  cubits. 

11  And  above  were  costly  stones, 
after  the  measures  of  hewed 
stones,  and  cedars. 

12  And  the  great  court  round 
about  was  with  tliree  rows  of 
hewed  stones,  and  a  row  of  cedar 
beams,  both  for  the  inner  court  of 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  for 
the  porch  of  the  house. 

13  If  And  king  Solomon  sent  and 
fetched  Hiram  out  of  Tyre. 

14  He  was  a  widow's  son  of  the 
tribe  of  Naphtali,  and  his  father 
was  a  man  of  Tyre,  a  worker  in 
brass:  and  he  was  filled  with  wis- 
dom,and  understanding,  and  cun- 
ning to  work  all  works  in  brass. 


And  he  came  to  king  Solomon, 
and  wrought  all  his  work. 

15  For  ne  cast  two  pillars  of 
brass,  of  eighteen  cubits  high 
apiece:  and  a  line  of  twelve  cu- 
bits did  compass  either  of  them 
about. 

16  And  he  made  two  chapiters 
of  molten  brass,  to  set  upon  the 
tops  of  the  pillars:  the  height  of 
the  one  chapiter  was  five  cubito, 
and  the  height  of  the  other  chap- 
ter was  five  cubits: 

17  And  nets  of  check erwork, and 
wreaths  of  chain  work,  for  the 
chapiters  which  were  upon  the 
top  of  the  pillars;  seven  for  the 
one  chapiter,  and  seven  for  the 
other  chapiter. 

18  And  he  made  the  pillars,  and 
two  rows  round  about  upon  the 
one  network,  to  cover  the  chapi- 
ters that  were  upon  the  top,  with 
pomegranates:  and  so  did  he  for 
the  other  diapiter. 

19  And  the  chapiters  that  were 
upon  the  top  of  the  pillars  were  of ' 
lily  work  in  the  porch,  four  cubits. 

20  And  the  chapiters  upon  the 
two  pillars  had  pomegranates  al- 
so above,  over  against  the  belly 
which  was  by  the  network:  and 
the  pomegranates  were  two  hun- 
dred in  rows  round  about  upon 
the  other  chapiter. 

21  And  he  set  up  the  pillars  in 
the  porch  of  the  temple :  and  he 
set  up  the  right  pillar,  and  called 
the  name  thereof . J achin:  and  he 
set  up  the  left  pillar,  and  called 
the  name  thereof  Boaz. 

22  And  upon  the  top  of  the  pil- 
lars was  lily  work:  so  was  the 
work  of  the  pillars  finished. 

23  H  And  he  made  a  molten  sea, 
ten  cubits  from  the  one  brim  to 
the  other:  it  was  round  all  about, 
and  his  height  was  five  cubits: 
and  a  line  of  thirty  cubits  did 
compass  it  round  about. 

24'  And  under  the  brim  of  it 
round  about  there  were  knops 
compassing  it,  ten  in  a  cubit,  com- 
passing the  sea  round  about:  the 
knops  were  cast  in  two  rows, 
when  it  was  cast. 

25  It  stood  upon  twelve  oxen, 
three  looking  toward  the  north, 
and  three  looking  toward  the 
west,  and  three  looking  toward 
the  south,  and  three  looking  to- 
ward the  east:  and  the  sea  was 
set  above  upon  them,  and  all 
their  hinder  parts  were  inward. 

26  And  it  was  a  handbreadth 


371 


thick,  and  the  brim  thereof  was 
wrought  like  the  brim  of  a  cup, 
with  flowers  of  lilies:  itcoutaiued 
two  thousand  baths. 

27  II  Aud  he  made  ten  bases  of 
brass;  four  cubits  was  the  length 
of  one  base,  and  four  cubits  the 
breadth  thereof,  and  three  cubits 
the  height  of  it. 

28  And  the  work  of  the  bases 
was  on  this  manner:  they  had 
borders,  and  the  borders  were 
between  the  ledges: 

29  Aud  on  the  borders  that  were 
between  the  ledges  were  lions, 
oxen,  aud  cherubim:  aud  upon 
the  ledges  there  was  a  base  above : 
and  beneath  the  lions  and  oxeu 
were  certain  additions  made  of 
thin  work. 

■30  Aud  every  base  had  four 
brazen  wheels,  aud  plates  of 
brass:  and  the  four  corners  there- 
of had  undersetters:  under  the 
laver  were  undersetters  molten, 
at  the  side  of  every  addition. 

31  And  the  mouth  of  it  within 
the  chapiter  and  above  was  a  cu- 
bit: but  the  mouth  thereof  was 
rovmd  after  the  work  of  the  base, 
a  cubit  and  a  half:  and  also  upon 
the  mouth  of  it  were  gravings 
with  their  borders,  foursquare, 
not  round. 

32  And  under  the  borders  were 
four  wheels;  and  the  axletrees  of 
the  wheels  were  joined  to  the 
base:  and  the  height  of  a  wheel 
was  a  cubit  aud  half  a  cubit. 

33  Aud  the  work  of  the  wheels 
was  like  the  work  of  a  chariot 
wheel:  their  axletrees,  and  their 
naves,  and  their  felloes,  and  their 
spokes,  were  all  molten. 

34  And  there  were  four  under- 
setters to  the  four  corners  of  one 
base:  aud  the  undersetters  were 
of  the  very  base  itself. 

35  And  in  the  top  of  the  base  was 
there  a  round  compass  of  half  a 
cubit  high:  and  on  the  top  of  the 
base  the  ledges  thereof  aud  the 
borders  thereof  were  of  the  same. 

36  For  on  the  plates  of  the  ledges 
thereof,  aud  on  the  borders  there- 
of, he  graved  cherubim,  lions, 
and  palm  trees,  according  to  the 
proportion  of  every  one,  aud  ad- 
ditions round  about. 

37  After  this  mauuer  he  made 
the  ten  bases:  all  of  them  had 
one  casting,  one  measure,  and 
one  size. 

38  Tt  Then  made  he  ten  lavers  of 


brass:  one  laver  contained  forty 
baths:  and  every  laver  was  four 
cubits:  aud  upon  every  one  of  the 
ten  bases  one  laver. 

39  And  he  put  live  bases  on  the 
right  side  of  the  hou.se,  and  live 
on  the  left  side  of  the  house:  and 
he  set  the  sea  on  the  right  side  of 
the  house  eastward,  over  against 
the  south. 

40  H  And  Hiram  made  the  la- 
vers, and  the  shovels,  aud  the  ba- 
sins. So  Hiram  made  an  end  of 
doing  all  the  work  that  he  made 
king  Solomon  for  the  house  of  the 
Lord: 

41  The  two  pillars,  and  the  two 
bowls  of  the  chapiters  that  were 
on  the  top  of  the  two  pillars ;  and 
the  two  networks,  to  cover  the 
two  bowls  of  the  chapiters  which 
were  upon  the  top  of  the  pillars; 

42  Aud  four  hundred  pomegran- 
ates for  the  two  networks,  eveu 
two  rows  of  pomegranates  for  one 
network,  to  cover  the  two  bowls 
of  the  chapiters  that  were  upon 
the  pillars; 

43  Aud  the  ten  bases,  and  ten 
lavers  on  the  bases ; 

44  Aud  one  sea,  and  twelve  oxen 
under  the  sea ; 

45  And  the  pots,  and  the  shovels, 
and  the  basins:  and  all  these  ves- 
sels, which  Hiram  made  to  king 
Solomon  for  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  were  of  bright  brass. 

46  In  the  plain  of  Jordan  did  the 
king  cast  them,  in  the  clay  ground 
between  Succoth  aud  Zarthan. 

47  And  Solomon  left  all  the  ves- 
sels uu  weighed, because  they  were 
exceeding  many :  neither  was  the 
weight  of  the  brass  found  out. 

48  And  Solomon  made  all  the 
vessels  that  pertained  unto  the 
house  of  the  Lord;  the  altar  of 
gold,  aud  the  table  of  gold,  where- 
upon the  shrewbread  was, 

49  And  the  candlesticks  of  pure 
gold,  five  on  the  right  side,  and 
five  on  the  left,  before  the  oracle, 
with  the  flowers,  and  the  lamps, 
and  the  tongs  of  goW. 

50  And  the  bowls,  aud  the  snuff- 
ers, aud  the  basins,  and  the  spoons, 
and  the  censers  of  pure  gold;  and 
the  hinges  of  gold,  both  for  the 
doors  of  the  inner  house,  the  most 
holy  place,  and  for  the  doors  of  the 
house,  to  wit,  of  the  temiile. 

51  So  was  ended  all  the  work 
that  king  Solomon  made  for  the 
house  of  the  Lord.    Aud  Solomon 


372 


■broiaght  in  the  things  which  Da- 
vidhis  fatherhad  dedicated ;  even 
tlie  silver,  and  the  gold,  and  the 
vessels,  did  he  put  among  the 
treasures  of  the  house  of  theLoRD. 

Dedication  of  the  temple,  see  l 
Ki.  8.  For  another  account  of  the 
building  and  dedication  of  the 
temple  see  2  Chr.  2  to  7. 

I  Ki.  9—10  And  it  came  to  pass 
at  the  end  of  twenty  years,  when 
Solomon  had  built  the  two  houses, 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
king's  house, 

II  (Now  Hiram  thekin^  of  Tyre 
had  mrnished  Solomon  withcedar 
trees  and  tir  trees,  and  with  gold, 
according  to  all  his  desire,)  that 
then  king  Solomon  gave  Hiram 
twenty  cities  in  the  land  of 
Galilee. 

12  And  Hiram  came  out  from 
Tyre  to  see  the  cities  which  Solo- 
mon had  given  him;  and  they 
pleased  him  not. 

13  And  he  said.  What  cities  are 
these  which  thou  hast  given  me, 
my  brother?  And  he  called  them 
the  land  of  Cabul  unto  this  day. 

"The  queen  of  Sheba  heard  of 
the  fame  of  Solomon,  and  she 
came  to  Jerusalem  with  a  very 
great  train." 

1  Ki.  10—1  And  when  the  queen 
of  Sheba  heard  of  the  fame  of 
Solomon  concerning  the  name  of 
the  Lord,  she  came  to  prove  him 
with  hard  questions. 

2  And  she  came  to  Jerusalem 
with  a  very  great  train,  with 
camels  that  bare  spices,  and  very 
much  gold,  and  precious  stones: 
and  M'hen  she  was  come  to  Solo- 
mon, she  communed  with  him  of 
all  that  was  in  her  heart. 

3  And  Solomon  told  her  all  her 
qiiestions:  there  was  not  any 
thing  hid  from  the  king,  which 
he  told  her  not. 

4  And  when  the  queen  of  Sheba 
had  seen  all  Solomon's  wisdom, 
and  the  house  that  he  had  built, 

5  And  themeatof  bistable, and 
the  sitting  of  his  servants,  and  the 
attendance  of  his  ministers,  and 
their  apparel,  and  his  cupbearers, 
and  his  ascent  by  which  he  went 
up  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord; 
there  was  no  more  spirit  in  her. 

6  And  she  said,  It  was  a  true  re- 


port that  I  heard  in  mine  own  land 
of  thy  acts  and  of  thy  wisdom. 

7  Howbeit  I  believed  not  the 
words,  until  I  came,  and  mine 
eyes  had  seen  it ;  and,  behold,  the 
half  was  not  told  me : 

8  Happy  are  thy  men,  happy  are 
these  thy  servants,  which  stand 
continually  before  thee,  and  that 
hear  thy  wisdom. 

10  And  she  gave  the  king  a  hun- 
dred and  twenty  talents  of  gold, 
and  of  spices  very  great  store,  and 
precious  stones:  there  came  no 
more  such  abundance  of  spices  as 
these  which  the  queen  of  Sheba 
gave  to  king  Solomon. 

13  And  king  Solomon  gave  unto 
the  queen  of  Sheba  all  her  desire, 
whatsoever  she  asked,  besides 
that  which  Solomon  gave  her  of 
his  royal  bounty.  So  she  turned 
and  went  to  her  own  country,  she 
and  her  servants,    p.  212.

bines; his  death  and  burial.  See

16-21,  p.  242.  287. 

1  Ki.  11—1  But  king  Solomon 
loved  many  strange  women. 

3  And  he  had  seven  hundred 
wives,  princesses,  and  three  hun- 
dred concubines:  and  his  wives 
turned  away  his  heart. 

4  For  it  came  to  pass,  when  Salo- 
mon was  old,  that  his  wivesturned 
away  his  heart  after  other  gods: 
and  his  heart  was  not  perfect  with 
the  Lord  his  God,  as  was  the 
heart  of  David  his  father. 

(Ne.  13—26  Did  not  Solomon  king 
of  Israel  sin  by  these  things?  yet 
among  many  nations  was  there 
no  king  like  him,  who  was  belov- 
ed of  his  God,  and  God  made  him 
king  over  all  Israel:  nevertheless 
even  him  did  outlandish  women 
cause  to  sin.) 

41  And  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Solomon,  and  all  that  he  did,  and 
his  wisdom,  are  they  not  written 
in  the  book  of  the  acts  of  Solo- 
mon? 

42  And  the  time  that  Solomon 
reigned  in  Jerusalem  over  all  Is- 
rael was  forty  years. 

43  And  Solomon  slept  with  his 
fathers,  and  was  buried  in  the  city 
of  David  his  father:  and  Reho- 
boam  his  son  reigned  in  his  stead.

Eliiali  fleeth  from  Queen  .Teze- 
hel.  HeaskeththeLord  totakehis 
life.  He  is  lairaculovisly  fed,  and 
did  not  eat  again  for  forty  days. 
He  is  sent  by  the  Lord  to  anoint 
Elislia  prophet  in  his  stead.  He 
cast  his  mantle  upon  Elisha,  who 
arose  and  followed  liim. 

1  Ki.  19—1  And  Ahab  told  Jeze- 
bel all  that  Elijah  had  done,  and 
withal  how  he  liad  slain  all  the 
prophets  with  the  sword.  1  Ki. 
18,  p.  ■2-25. 

2  Then  Jezebel  sent  a  messen- 
ger unto  Elijah,  saying,  So  let  the 
gods  do  to  me,  and  more  also,  if  I 
make  not  thy  life  as  the  life  of 
one  of  them  by  to  morrow  about 
this  time. 

3  And  when  be  saw  that,  he 
arose,  and  went  for  his  life,  and 
came  to  Beer-sheba,  which  be- 
longeth  to  Judah,  and  left  his 
servant  there. 

4  But  he  himself  went  a  day's 
journey  into  the  wilderness,  and 
came  and  sat  down  imder  a  juni- 
per ti-ee:  and  he  requested  fen- 
himself  that  he  might  die;  and 
said,  It  is  enough ;  now,  O  Lord, 
take  away  my  life ;  for  I  am  not 
better  than  my  fathers. 

5  And  as  he  lay  and  slept  under 
a  juniper  tree,  behold,  then  an 
angel  touched  him,  and  said  unto 
him.  Arise  and  eat. 

6  And  he  looked,  and  behold, 
there  was  a  cake  baken  on  the 
coals,  and  a  cruse  of  water  at  his 
head.  And  he  did  eat  and  drink, 
and  laid  him  down  again. 

7  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
came  again  the  secc)nd  time,  and 
touched  him,  and  said.  Arise  and 
eat;  because  the  journey  is  too 
great  for  thee. 

8  And  he  arose,  and  did  eat  and 
drink,  and  went  in  the  strength 
of  that  meat  forty  days  and  forty 
nights  uuto  Horeb  the  mount  of 
God. 

9  And  he  came  thither  vmto  a 
cave,  aud  lodged  there:  and,  be- 
hold, the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
to  him,  and  he  said  unto  him, 
What  doest  thou  here,  Elijah? 

10  And  he  said,  I  have  been  very 
jealous  for  the  Lord  God  of  hosts: 
for  the  children  of  Israel  have 
forsaken  thy  covenant,  thrown 
down  thine  altars,  and  slain  thy 
prophets  with  the  sword ;  and  I, 
even  I  only,  am  left;  and  they 
seek  my  life,  to  take  it  away. 


11  And  he  said,  Go  forth,  and 
stand  upon  the  mount  before  the 
Lord.  And,  behold,  the  Lord 
passed  by,  and  a  great  and  strong 
wind  rent  the  mountains,  and 
brake  in  pieces  the  rocks  before 
the  Lord  ;  but  the  Lord  was  not 
in  the  wind :  aud  after  the  wind 
an  earthquake ;  but  the  Lord  was 
not  in  the  earthquake: 

12  And  after  the  earthquake  a 
fire ;  but  the  Lord  was  not  in  the 
tire:  and  after  the  fire  a  still 
small  voice. 

15  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
Go,  return  on  thy  way  to  the  wil- 
derness of  Damascus:  and  when 
thou  comest,  anoint  Hazael  to  l)e 
king  over  .Syria: 

16  And  Jehu  the  son  of  Nimshi 
shalt  thou  anoint  to  be  king  over 
Israel :  and  Elisha  the  son  of  Sha- 
phat  shalt  thou  anoint  to  be  proph- 
et in  thy  room.    p.  260. 

19  vSo  he  departed  thence,  and 
found  Elisha  the  son  of  8haphat, 
who  was  ploughing  Mith  twelve 
yoke  of  oxen  before  him,  and  he 
with  the  twelfth:  and  Elijah  pass- 
ed by  him,  aud  cast  his  mantle 
upon  him. 

20  And  he  left  the  oxen,  and  ran 
after  Elijah,  and  said.  Let  me,  I 
pray  thee,  kiss  my  father  and  my 
mother,  and  then  I  will  follow 
thee.  And  he  said  unto  him.  Go 
back  again:  for  what  have  I  done 
to  thee? 

•21  And  he  returned  back  from 
him,  and  took  a  yoke  of  oxen,  and 
slew  them,  and  boiled  their  tiesh 
with  the  instrviments  of  the  oxen, 
and  gave  unto  the  people,  and 
they  did  eat.  Then  he  arose,  and 
went  after  Elijah,  and  ministered 
unto  him. 

NABOTH'S  VINEYARD. 


Death  of  Ahab  and  Jezebel. 

1  Ki.  21—1  Naboth  the  Jez- 
reelite  had  a  vineyard,  which  was 
in  Jezreel,  hard  by  the  palace  of 
Ahab  king  of  Samaria. 

2  And  Ahab  spake  unto  Naboth, 
saying,  Give  me  thy  vmeyard, 
that  Imay  have  it  for  a  garden  of 
herbs,  because  it  is  near  unto  my 
house:  and  I  will  give  thee  for  it 
a  better  vineyard  than  it:  or,  if 
it  seem  good  to  thee,  I  will  give 
thee  the  worth  of  it  in  money. 


374 


3  And  Naboth  said  to  Ahab,  The 
Lord  forbid  it  me,  that  I  should 
give  the  inheritance  of  my  fathers 
unto  thee. 

4  And  Ahab  came  into  his  house 
heavy  and  displeased  because  of 
the  word  wliich  Naboth  the  Jez- 
reelite  had  spoken  to  him.  And 
he  laid  him  down  upon  liis  bed, 
and  turned  away  his  face,  and 
would  eat  no  bread. 

5  But  Jezebel  his  wife  came  to 
him,  and  said.  Why  is  thy  spirit 
so  sad,  that  thou  eatest  no  Dread? 

G  And  he  said  unto  her,  Because 
I  spake  unto  Naboth,  and  said, 
<iive  me  tliy  vineyard  for  money ; 
or  else,  if  it  please  thee,  I  will 
give  thee  another  vineyard  for  it: 
and  he  answered,  I  will  not  give 
thee  my  vineyard. 

7  And  Jezebel  his  wife  said  unto 
him.  Dost  thou  now  govern  the 
kingdom  of  Israel?  arise,  and  eat 
bread,  and  let  thine  heart  be  mer- 
ry: I  will  give  thee  the  viiieyard 
of  Naboth  the  Jezreelite. 

8  So  she  wrote  letters  in  Ahab's 
name,  and  sealed  them  with  bis 
seal,  and  sent  the  letters  unto  the 
elders  and  to  the  nobles  that  were 
in  hiscity.  dwelling  with  Naboth. 

0  And  she  wrote  in  the  letters, 
saying.  Proclaim  a  fast,  and  .set 
Naboth  on  high  among  the  people : 

10  And  set  two  men,  sons  of  Be- 
lial, before  him,  to  bear  witness 
against  him.  saying.  Thou  didst 
blaspheme  God  and  the  king. 
And  tiieii  carry  him  nut,  and  stone 
him,  that  he  may  die. 

11  And  the  men  of  bis  city,  even 
the  elders  ami  the  nobles  who 
were  the  inhabitants  in  his  city, 
did  asJezebel  had  sent  unto  them, 
and  as  it  was  written  in  the  letters 
which  she  had  sent  unto  them. 

12  They  proclaimed  a  fast,  and 
set  Naboth  on  high  among  the 
people. 

13  And  there  came  in  two  men, 
children  of  Belial,  and  sat  before 
him:  and  the  men  of  Belial  wit- 
nessed against  him,  even  against 
Naboth,  in  the  i3resence  of  the 
people,  saying,  Naboth  did  blas- 
pheme God  and  the  king.  Then 
they  carried  him  forth  out  of  the 
city,  and  stoned  him  with  stones, 
that  be  died. 

14  Then  they  sent  to  Jezebel, 
saying,  Naboth  is  stoned,  and  is 
dead. 

i5  H  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 


•Jezebel  heard  that  Naboth  was 
stoned,and  was  dead,  that  Jezebel 
.said  to  Ahab,  Ai-ise,  take  posses- 
sion of  the  vineyard  of  Naboth 
the  Jezreelite,  which  he  refused 
to  give  tliee  for  money:  for  Na- 
both is  not  alive,  but  dead. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Ahab  heard  that  Naboth  was  dead, 
that  Ahab  rose  up  to  go  down  to 
the  vineyard  of  Naboth  the  Jez- 
reelite, to  take  possession  of  it, 

17  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  Elijah  the  Tishbite,  say- 
ing, 

18  Arise,  go  down  to  meet  Ahab 
king  of  Israel,  which  is  in  Sama- 
ria: behold,  he  is  in  the  vineyard 
of  Naboth,  whither  he  is  gone 
down  to  possess  it. 

19  And  thou  shalt  speak  unto 
him,  saying.  Thus  saith  the  Lord. 
Hast  thou  killed,  and  also  taken 
possession?  And  thou  shalt  speak 
unto  him,  saying.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord.  In  the  place  where  dogs 
licked  tlie  blood  of  Naboth  shall 
dogs  lick  thy  blood,  even  thine. 

23  And  of  Jezebel  also  spake  the 
Lord,  saying,  The  dogs  sliall  eat 
Jezebel  by  the  wall  of  Jezreel. 

24  Him  that  dieth  of  Ahab  in  tlie 
city  the  dogs  shall  eat;  and  him 
that  dieth  in  the  held  shall  the 
fowls  of  the  air  eat. 

1  Ki.  22—29  So  Ahab  king  of  Is- 
rael and  Jehoshaphat  king  of 
Judah  went  up  to  Kamoth-gilead. 
See  1  Ki.  22.  20,  p.  lOG. 

30  And  the  king  of  Israel  said 
unto  Jehoshaphat,  I  will  disguise 
myself,  and  enter  into  the  battle; 
but  put  thou  on  thy  robes.  And 
theking  of  Israel  disguised  him- 
self, and  went  into  the  battle. 

34  And  a  certain  man  drew  a  bow 
at  a  venture,  and  smote  the  king 
of  Israel  between  the  joints  of  the 
harness:  wlierefore  he  said  unto 
the  driver  of  his  chariot.  Turn 
thine  hand,  and  carry  me  out  of 
the  host;  for  I  am  wounded. 

35  And  the  battle  increased  that 
day:  and  the  king  was  stayed  up 
in  his  chariot  against  the  Syrians, 
and  died  at  even:  and  the  blood 
ran  out  of  the  wound  into  the 
midst  of  the  chariot. 

;37  So  the  king  died,  and  wa.s 
brought  to  Samaria;  and  they 
buried  the  king  in  Samaria. 

.38  And  one  washed  the  chariot  m 
the  pool  of  Samaria;  and  the  dogs 
licked  up  his  blood;    and    they 


375 


washed  his  armour;  acoording 
unto  the  word  of  the  Lohd  which 
he  spake. 

39  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of 
Ahab,  and  all  that  he  did,  and  the 
ivory  liouse  which  he  nnide,  and 
all  the  cities  that  he  built,  are 
they  not  written  in  the  book  of  the 
Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Israel? 

40  So  Ahab  slept  with  his  fath- 
ers; and  Aluiziah  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead. 

2Ki.  9 — ;iO  And  when  .Tehu  was 
come  to  Jezreel,  Jezebel  heard  of 
it;  and  she  painted  her  face,  and 
tired  her  head,  and  looked  out  at 
a  window. 

31  And  as  Jehu  entered  in  at  the 
gate  she  said.  Had  Ziniri  peace, 
who  slew  his  master? 

:32  And  as  he  lifted  up  his  face  to 
the  window,  and  said,  WJio  is  on 
my  side?  who?  And  there  looked 
out  to  him  tM'o  or  three  eunuchs. 

.33  And  he  .said.  Throw  her  down. 
So  they  threw  her  down:  and 
some  of  her  blood  was  sprinkled 
on  the  wall,  and  oi\  the  horses: 
and  he  trode  her  under  foot. 

34  And  when  he  was  come  in, 
he  did  eat  and  drink,  and  said, 
Go,  see  now  this  cursed  woman, 
and  bury  her:  for  she  is  a  king's 
daughter. 

35  And  they  went  to  bury  her : 
but  they  found  no  more  of  her 
than  the  skull,  and  the  feet,  and 
the  palms  of  her  hands. 

36  Wherefore  they  came  again, 
and  told  him.  And  he  said,  This 
is  the  word  of  the  Lord,  which  he 
spake  by  his  servant  Elijah  the 
Tishbite,  saying,  In  the  portion 
of  Jezreel  shall  dogs  eat  the  flesh 
of  Jezebel: 

37  And  the  carcass  of  Jezebel 
shall  be  as  dung  upon  the  face  of 
the  Held  in  the  portion  of  Jezreel ; 
so  that  they  shall  not  say,  This  is 
Jezebel. 

Elijah  called  fire  from  heaven, 
which  consumed  100  men. 

2  Ki.  1—2  And  Ahaziah  felldown 
through  a  lattice  in  his  upper 
chamber  that  was  in  Samaria, 
and  was  sick:  and  he  sent  mes- 
.sengers,  and  said  unto  them,  (io, 
inquire  of  Baal-zebub  the  god  of 
Ekron  whether  I  shall  recover  of 
this  disease. 

3  But  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said 
to  Elijah  the  Tishbite,  Arise,  go 
up  to  meet  the  messengers  of  the 


king  of  Samaria,  and  say  unto 
them,  Is  it  not  because  there  is  not 
a  (Tod  in  Israel,  that  ye  go  to  in- 
quire of  Baal-zebub. 

4  Now  tliereft)re  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Thou  shalt  not  come  down 
from  that  bed  on  which  thou  art 
gone  up,  but  shalt  surely  die. 

5  And  when  the  messengers 
turned  back  unto  the  king 

7  He  said,  What  manner  of  man 
was  he  which  came  up  to  meet 
you,  and  told  you  these  words? 

8  And  they  answered  him.  He 
was  a  hairy  man,  and  girt  with  a 
girdle  of  leatlier  about  his  loins. 
And  he  said,  It  is  Elijah  the  Tish- 
bite. 

9  Then  the  king  sent  unto  him 
a  captain  of  tifty  with  his  tifty. 
And, behold,  he  sat  on  the  top  of  a 
bill.  And  he  spake  unto  him, 
Thou  man  of  God,  the  king  hath 
said,  Come  down. 

10  And  Elijah  said.  If  I  be  a  man 
of  God,  then  let  fire  come  down 
from  heaven,  and  consume  thee 
and  thy  tifty.  And  there  came 
down  tire  from  heaven,  and  con- 
sumed him  and  his  tifty. 

11  Again  also  he  sent  another 
captain  of  fifty  with  his  tifty. 
And  he  said  unto  him,  Oman  of 
(jod,  thus  hath  the  king  said. 
Come  down  quickly. 

12  And  Elijah  said  unto  them. 
If  I  lie  a  man  of  God,  let  fire  come 
down  from  heaven,  and  consume 
thee  and  thy  fifty.  And  the  tire 
of  God  came  down  from  heaven, 
and  consumed  him  and  his  tifty. 

13  And  he  sent  a  captain  of  the 
third  tifty  with  his  tifty.  And  he 
came  and  fell  on  his  knees  before 
Elijah,  and  said  unto  him,0  man 
of  God,  I  pray  thee,  let  my  life, 
and  the  life  of  these  fi  fty  thy  serv- 
ants, be  precious  in  thy  sight. 

1.5  And  the  angel  said  unto  Eli- 
jah, Go  down  with  him:  be  not 
afraid  of  him.  And  be  went  down 
with  him  unto  the  king. 

16  And  said,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  As  tliou  has  sent  messen- 
gers to  inquire  of  Baal-zebub  the 
god  of  Ekron,  is  it  not  because 
tliere  is  no  God  in  Israel  to  inquire 
of  his  word?  therefore  thou  shalt 
not  come  down  off  that  l)ed  on 
which  thou  art  gone  up,  but  shall 
surely  die. 

17  So  he  died  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord  which  Elijah 
had  spoken.

"And  Elijah  went  up  bv  a 
whirlwind  into  heaven." 

2  Ki.  2—1  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  the  Lord  would  take  up 
Elijah  into  heaven  by  a  whirl- 
wind, that  Elijah  went  with 
Elisha  from  Gilgal. 

2  And  Elijah  said  unto  Elisha, 
Tarry  here,  I  pray  thee;  for  the 
Lord  hath  sent  me  to  Beth-el. 
And  Elisha  said  unto  him,  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  and  as  thy  soul 
liveth,  I  will  not  leave  thee.  So 
they  went  down  to  Beth-el. 

3  And  the  sons  of  the  prophets 
that  were  at  Beth-el  came  forth  to 
Elisha,  and  said  unto  him,  Know- 
e.st  thou  that  the  Lord  will  take 
away  thy  master  from  thy  head 
today?  And  he  said.  Yea,  I  know 
It ;  hold  ye  your  peace. 

4  And  Elijah  said  unto  him, 
Elisha,  tarry  here,  I  pray  thee; 
for  the  Lord  hath  sent  me  to 
Jericho.  And  he  said.  As  the  Lord 
liveth,  and  as  thy  soul  liveth,  I 
will  not  leave  thee.  So  they  came 
to  Jericho. 

5  And  the  sons  of  the  prophets 
that  were  at  Jericho  came  to  Eli- 
sha, and  said  unto  him,  Knowest 
thou  that  the  Lord  will  take 
away  thy  master  from  thy  head 
to  day?  And  he  answered,  Yea,  I 
know  it ;  hold  ye  your  peace. 

6  And  Elijah  said  unto  him. 
Tarry,  I  pray  thee,  here;  for  the 
Lord  hath  sent  me  to  Jordan.  And 
he  said.  As  tlie  Lord  liveth,  and 
as  thy  soul  liveth,  I  will  not  leave 
thee.    And  they  two  went  on. 

7  And  fifty  men  of  the  sons  of 
the  prophets  went,  and  stood  to 
view  afar  off:  and  they  two  stood 
by  Jordan. 

8  And  Elijah  took  his  mantle, 
and  wrapped  it  together,  and 
smote  the  waters,  and  they  were 
divided  hither  and  thither,  so 
that  they  two  went  over  on  dry 
ground. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  gone  over,  that  Elijah 
said  unto  Elisha,  Ask  what  1  shall 
do  for  thee,  before  I  be  taken 
away  from  thee.  And  Elisha  said, 
I  pray  thee,  let  a  double  portion 
of  thy  spirit  he  upon  me. 

10  And  he  said.  Thou  hast  asked 
a  hard  thing:  nevertheless,  if  thou 
see  me  when  I  am  taken  from 
thee,  it  shall  be  so  unto  thee ;  but 
if  not,  it  shall  not  be  so. 


11  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
still  went  on,  and  talked,  that,  be- 
hold, there  appeared  a  chariot  of 
hre,  and  horses  of  tire,  and  parted 
them  both  asunder;  and  Elijah 
went  up  by  a  whirlwind  into 
heaven. 

12  And  Elisha  saw  it,  and  he 
cried.  My  father,  my  father,  the 
chariot  of  Israel,  and  the  horse- 
men thereof!  And  he  saw  liim 
no  more:  and  he  took  hold  of  his 
own  clothes,  and  rent  them  in 
two  pieces. 

13  He  took  up  also  the  mantle 
of  Elijah  that  fell  from  him,  and 
went  back,  and  stood  by  the  bank 
of  Jordan ; 

14  And  he  took  the  mantle,  and 
smote  the  waters,  and  said,  Where 
is  the  Lord  God  of  Elijah?  And 
when  he  also  liad  smitten  the 
waters,  they  parted  hither  and 
thither:  and  Elisha  went  over. 

15  And  when  the  sons  of  tlie 
prophets  which  were  to  view  at 
Jericho  .saw  him,  they  said.  The 
spirit  of  Elijah  doth  rest  on  Elisha. 
And  they  came  to  meet  him,  and 
bowed  themselves  to  the  ground 
before  him.  ' 

Elisha  increased  the  widow's 
oil.    See  also  2  Ki.  4.  8,  p.  398. 

2  Ki.  4—1  Now  there  cried  a  cer- 
tain woman  of  the  wives  of  the 
.sous  of  the  prophets  unto  Elisha, 
saying,  Thy  servant  my  husband 
IS  dead;  and  thou  knowest  that 
thyservantdidfeartheLoRD:  and 
the  creditor  is  come  to  take  unto 
him  my  two  sons  to  he  bondmen. 

2  And  Elisha  said  unto  her. 
What  shall  1  do  for  thee?  tell  me, 
what  hast  thou  in  the  house? 
And  she  said,  Thine  handmaid 
liath  not  anything  in  the  house, 
save  a  pot  of  oil. 

3  Then  he  said.  Go,  borrow  thee 
vessels  abroad  of  all  thy  neigh- 
bours, even  empty  vessels;  bor- 
row not  a  few. 

4  And  when  thou  art  come  in, 
thou  shalt  shut  the  door  upon  thee 
and  upon  thy  sons,  and  shalt  pour 
out  into  all  those  vessels,  and  thou 
shalt  set  aside  that  which  is  full. 

5  So  she  went  from  him,  and 
shut  the  door  upon  her  and  upon 
her  .sons,  who  brought  the  vessels 
to  her;  and  she  poured  out. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
vessels  were  full,  that  she  said  un- 


377 


to  her  son,  Bring  me  yet  a  vessel. 
And  he  said  unto  tier,  Tliere  is 
not  a  vessel  more.  And  the  oil 
stayed. 

7  Tlien  she  came  and  told  the 
manof  (lod.  And  he  said,  Go,  sell 
the  oil,  and  pay  tliy  debt,  and  live 
thou  and  thy  children  of  the  rest. 

King  Allah's  70  sons  slain,  42  of 
King  Ahaziah's  brethren  slain. 
Death  of  Elisha. 

■2  Ki.  in— 1  And  Ahab  had  seventy 
sons  in  Samaria.  And  Jehu  wrote 
letters,  and  sent  to  Samaria,  unto 
the  rulers  of  Jezreel,to  theelders, 
and  to  them  that  brought  up 
Ahab's  children,  saying, 

2  Now  as  soon  as  this  letter  com- 
eth  to  you,  seeing  your  master's 
sons  are  with  you,  and  there  are 
with  you  chariots  and  horses,  a 
fenced  city  also,  and  armour; 

3  Look  even  out  the  best  and 
meetest  of  your  master's  sons,  and 
set  him  on  his  father's  throne,  and 
light  for  your  master's  house. 

5  And  the  elders,  and  the  bring- 
ers  up  of  the  children,  sen  t  to  Jehu, 
saying.  We  are  thy  servants,  and 
will  do  all  that  thou  shalt  bid  us; 
we  will  not  rhake  any  king:  do 
thou  that  which  is  good  in  thine 
eyes. 

6  Then  he  wrote  a  letter  the  sec- 
ond time  to  them,  saying.  It  ye  be 
mine,  and  if  ye  will  hearken  unto 
my  voice,  take  ye  the  heads  of 
the  men  your  master's  sons,  and 
come  to  me  to  Jezreel  by  to  mor- 
row this  time. 

7  And  when  the  letter  came  to 
them,  they  took  the  king's  sons, 
and  slew  seventy  persons,  and  put 
their  heads  in  baskets,  and  sent 
them  to  Jezreel. 

8  And  there  came  a  messenger, 
and  told  him,  saying.  They  have 
brought  the  heads  of  the  king's 
sons.  And  he  said.  Lay  ye  them 
in  two  heaps  at  the  entenng  in  of 
the  gate  until  the  morning. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  that  he  went  out,  and 
stood,  and  said  to  all  the  people. 
Ye  be  righteous:  behold,  I  con- 
spired against  my  master,  and 
slew  him:  but  who  slew  all  these? 

10  Know  now  that  there  shall 
fall  unto  the  earth  nothing  of  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  which  the  Lord 
spake  concerning  the  house  of 
Ahab:  for  the  Lord  hath  done 


th  at  which  he  spake  by  his  servant 
Elijah. 

11  So  Jehu  slew  all  tliat  re- 
mained of  the  house  of  Ahab. 

12  And  he  arose  and  departed, 
and  came  to  Samaria.  And  as  he 
was  at  the  shearing  house  in  the 
way, 

13  Jehu  met  with  the  brethren 
of  Ahaziah  king  of  Judah.  and 
said.  Who  are  ye?  And  they  an- 
swered. We  are  the  brethren  of 
Ahaziah ;  and  we  go  down  to 
.salute  the  children  of  the  king 
and  the  children  of  the  queen. 

14  And  he  said,  Take  them  alive. 
And  they  took  them  alive,  and 
slew  them  at  the  pit  of  the  shear- 
ing hoxise,  even  two  and  forty 
men ;  neither  left  he  any  of  them. 

17  And  when  he  came  to  Sama- 
ria, he  slew  all  that  remained  un- 
to Ahab  in  Samaria,  till  he  had 
destroyed  him,  according  to  the 
saying  of  the  Lord,  which  he 
spake  to  Elijah,    p.  226. 


2  Ki.  13—20  And  Elisha  died,  and 
they  buried  him.  And  the  bands 
of  the  Moabites  invaded  the  land 
at  the  coming  in  of  the  year. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
were  burying  a  man,  that,  behold, 
they  .spied  a  band  of  men;  and 
they  cast  the  man  into  the  sepul- 
chre of  Elisha:  and  when  the 
man  was  let  down,  and  touched 
the  bones  of  Elisha,  he  revived, 
and  stood  up  on  his  feet. 


Prophecy  against  Egypt.

See 


Isaiah  walked  naked  and  bare- 
foot three  years. 

Is.  20—2  At  the  same  time  spake 
the  Lord  by  Isaiah  the  son  of 
Amoz,  saying.  Go  and  loose  the 
sackcloth  from  off  thy  loins,  and 
put  off  thy  shoe  from  thy  foot. 
And  he  did  so,  walking  naked 
and  barefoot. 

3  And  the  Lord  said.  Like  as  my 
servant  Isaiah  hath  walked  naked 
and  barefoot  three  years  for  a 
sign  and  wonder  upon  Egypt  and 
upon  Ethiopia ; 

4  So  shall  the  king  of  Assyria 
lead  away  the  Egyptians  priso- 
ners, and  the  Ethiopians  captives, 
young  and  old,  naked,  and  bare- 
foot, even  with  their  buttocks  un- 
covered, to  the  shame  of  Egypt.

King  Ahasuerus's  royal  feast  to 
■which  his  wife  Queen  Vashti  re- 
fused to  come  at  liis  command, 
and  in  consequence  siie  was  set 
aside  with  the  loss  of  her  royal 
rank  and  estates;  and  Esther,  the 
beautiful  Jewess,  was  chosen  in 
her  place.  Downfall  of  Hamau, 
the  king's  favorite  and  chief 
prince.  Haman  and  his  ten  sons 
hanged.  The  remarkahle  pro- 
motion of  Mordecai  the  Jew  (cou- 
sin and  foster  father  of  Esther)  in 
Haman's  place.  He  received  high 
rank  and  honor  from  the  king, 
and  the  great  privilege  for  the 
Jews  of  killing  75,800  of  their  ene- 
mies, and  in  glory  of  the  same, 
with  feasting  and  gladness,  they 
instituted  the  yearly  feast  of 
Purim. 

Est.  1  —  1  Now  it  came  to  pa.ss  in 
the  days  of  Ahasueitis,  (this  is 
Ahasuerus  which  reigned  from 
India  iinto  Ethiopia,  over  a  hun- 
dred and  seven  and  twenty  prov- 
inces ) 

3  In  the  third  year  of  his  reign, 
he  made  a  feast  mito  all  his 
princes  and  his  servants;  the 
power  of  Persia  and  Media, 

4  When  lie  shewed  the  riches  of 
his  glorious  kingdom  and  the  hon- 
our of  his  excellent  majesty  many 
days,  even  a  hundred  and  four- 
score days. 

5  And  when  these  days  were  ex- 
pired, the  king  made  a  feast  unto 
all  the  people  that  were  present 
in  Shushan  the  palace,  botli  unto 
great  and  small,  seven  days,  in 
the  court  of  the  garden  of  the 
king's  palace; 

6  Where  were  white,  green,  and 
blue  hangings,  fastened  with 
cords  of  tine  linen  and  purple  to 
silver  rings  and  pillars  of  marble: 
tlie  beds  were  of  gold  and  silver, 
upon  a  pavement  of  red,  and  blue, 
and  white,  and  black  marble. 

7  And  they  gave  them  drink  in 
vessels  of  gold,  (the  vessels  being 
diverse  one  from  another,)  and 
royal  wine  in  abundance,  accord- 
ing to  the  state  of  the  king, 

8  And  the  drinking  was  accord- 
ing to  the  law;  none  did  compel: 
for  so  the  king  had  appointed  to 
all  the  otMcers  of  his  house,  that 
they  should  do  according  to  every 
man's  pleasure. 

9  Also  Vashti  the  queen  made  a 
feast  for  the  women  in  the  royal 
house. 


10  On  the  seventh  day,  when  the 
heart  of  the  king  was  merry  with 
wine,  he  commanded  Meliuman, 

11  To  bring  Vashti  the  queen 
before  the  king  with  the  crown 
royal,  to  shew  the  people  and  the 
princes  her  beauty:  for  she  was 
fair  to  look  on. 

12  But  the  queen  Vashti  refused 
to  come. 

13  Then  the  king  said  to  the 
wise  men,  which  knew  the  times, 

15  What  shall  we  do  unto  the 
queen  Vashti  accorduig  to  law, 
because  she  hath  not  performed 
the  commandment  of  the  king. 

16  And  Memucan  answered  be- 
fore the  kmg  and  the  princes, 
Vashti  the  queen  hath  not  done 
wrong  to  the  king  only,  but  also 
to  all  the  princes,  and  to  all  the 
people  that  are  in  all  the  provinces 
of  the  king  Ahasuerus. 

17  For  this  deed  of  the  queen 
.shall  come  abroaduntoall  women, 
so  that  they  shall  despise  then- 
husbands  in  their  eyes. 

18  Likewise  shall  the  ladies  of 
Persia  and  Media  say  this  day 
unto  all  the  king's  princes,  which 
have  heard  of  the  deed  of  the 
queen.  Thus  shall  there  arise  too 
much  contempt  and  wrath. 

19  H  it  please  the  king,  let  there 
go  a  royal  commandment  from 
him,  and  let  it  be  written  among 
the  laws  of  the  Persians  and  the 
Medes^  tliat  it  be  not  altered, 
That  \  ashti  come  no  more  before 
king  Ahasuerus;  and  let  the  king 
give  her  royal  estate  unto  another 
that  is  better  than  she. 

20  And  when  the  king's  decree 
shall  be  published  throughout  all 
his  empire,  all  the  wives  shall 
give  to  their  husbands  honour, 
both  to  great  and  small. 

21  And  the  saying  pleased  the 
king  and  the  princes. 

22  For  he  sent  letters  to  all  the 
king's  provinces,  that  every  man 
should  Dear  rule  in  his  own  house. 

Est.  2  —  2  Then  said  the  king's 
servants.  Let  there  be  fair  young 
virgins  sought  for  the  king: 

4  And  let  the  maiden  which 
pleaseth  thekingbe  queen  instead 
of  Vashti.  And  the  thing  pleased 
the  king;  and  he  did  so. 

5  1  Now  in  Shushan  the  palace 
there  was  a  certain  Jew,  whose 
name  was  Mordecai, 

6  Who  had  been  carried  away 
from  Jerusalem  with  the  captiv- 
ity. 


379 


7  And  he  brought  up  Hadassah, 
that  is,  Esther,  his  uncle's  davigh- 
ter:  for  she  had  neither  fatlier  nor 
mother,  and  the  maid  was  fair 
and  beautiful;  whom  Mordecai, 
when  her  father  and  mother  were 
dead,  took  for  his  own  daughter. 

8  So  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
king's  commandment  and  his  de- 
cree was  heard,  and  when  many 
maidens  were  gathered  together 
unto  Shushan  the  palace,  that 
Esther  was  brought  also  unto  the 
king's  house,  to  the  custody  of 
Hegai,  keeper  of  the  women. 

12  Now  when  every  maid's  turn 
was  come  to  go  in  to  king  Ahasue- 
rus,after  that  she  had  been  twelve 
mouths,  according  to  the  manner 
of  the  women,  (for  so  were  the 
days  of  their  purifications  accom- 
plished, to  wit,  six  months  with 
oil  of  myrrh,  and  six  months  with 
sweet  odours,  and  with  other 
things  for  the  purifying  of  the 
women,) 

13  Then  thus  came  every  maiden 
unto  the  king. 

14  In  the  evening  she  went,  and 
on  the  morrow  she  returned  into 
the  second  house  of  the  women,  to 
the  custody  of  Shaashgaz,  the 
king's  chamberlain,  which  kept 
the  concubines:  she  came  in  unto 
the  king  no  more,  except  the  king 
delighted  in  her. 

16  So  Esther  was  taken  unto 
king  Ahasuerus  into  his  house 
royal. 

17  And  the  king  loved  Esther 
above  all  the  women,  and  she  ob- 
tained grace  and  favour  in  his 
sight  more  than  all  the  virgins ;  so 
that  he  set  the  royal  crown  upon 
her  head,  and  made  her  queen  in- 
stead of  Vashti. 

18  Theu  the  king  made  a  great 
feast  unto  all  his  princes  and  his 
servants,  even  Estner's  feast ;  and 
he  made  a  release  to  t  he  provinces, 
and  gave  gifts,  according  to  the 
state  of  the  king. 

21  In  those  days,  while  Morde- 
cai sat  in  the  king's  gate,  two  nf 
the  king's  chamberlains  sought 
to  lay  hand  on  the  king. 

22  And  the  thing  was  known  to 
Mordecai,  who  told  it  unto  Esther 
the  queen ;  and  Esther  certitied  the 
king  thereof  in  Mordecai's  name. 

23  And  when  inquisition  was 
made  of  the  matter,  it  was  found 
out;  therefore  they  were  both 
hanged  on  a  tree.     - 


Est.  6— 3  And  the  kingsaid,What 
honour  and  dignity  hath  been 
done  to  Mordecai  for  this?  Then 
.said  the  king's  servants,  There  is 
nothing  done  for  him. 

6  So  Haman  came  in.  And  the 
king  said  unto  him.  What  shall 
be  done  unto  the  man  whom  the 
kingdelighteth  to  honour?  Kow 
Haman  tliouglit  in  liis  heart,  To 
whom  Would  the  king  delight  to 
do  honour  more  than  to  myself? 

7  And  Hamau  answered  the  king, 

8  Let  the  royal  apparel  be 
brought  which  the  king  useth  to 
wear,  and  the  hor.se  that  the  king 
rideth  upon,  and  the  crown  royal 
which  is  set  upon  his  head: 

9  And  let  tins  apparel  and  horse 
be  delivered  to  the  hand  of  one  of 
the  king's  most  noble  princes,  that 
they  may  array  the  man,  and 
bring  him  on  horseback  through 
the  street  of  the  city,  and  uro- 
claim  before  him,  Thus  shall  it 
be  done  to  the  man  whom  the 
king  delighteth  to  honour. 

10  Then  the  king  said.  Make 
haste,  and  take  the  apparel  and 
the  horse,  as  thou  hast  said,  and 
do  even  so  to  Mordecai  the  Jew, 
that  sitteth  at  the  king's  gate. 

11  Then  took  Haman  the  apparel 
and  the  horse,  and  arrayed  Morde- 
cai, and  brought  him  on  horseback 
thr(.)ugh  the  street  of  the  city,  and 
proclaimed  before  him,  Thusshall 
It  be  done  unto  the  man  whom 
the  king  delighteth  to  honour. 

Est.  7 — 1  So  the  king  and  Haman 
came  to  banquet  with  Esther  the 
queen. 

2  And  the  king  said  again  unto 
Esther  on  the  second  day  at  the 
banquet  of  wine.'What  is  thy  pe- 
tition, queen  Esther?  and  it  shall 
be  granted  thee:  and  what  is  thy 
request?  and  itshall  be  performed,  ' 
even  to  the  half  of  the  kingdom. 

3  Then  Esther  the  queen  answer- 
ed and  said, 

4  We  are  sold,  I  and  my  people, 
to  be  destroyed,  to  be  slam,  and 
to  perish.  But  if  we  had  been 
sold  for  bondmen  and  bondwo- 
men, I  had  held  my  tongue. 

5  Ihen  the  king  answered  and 
said  unto  Esther  the  queen.  Who 
is  he,  and  wiiere  is  he,  that  durst 
presume  in  his  heart  to  do  so? 

6  And  Esther  said,  the  adver- 
sary and  enemy  is  this  wicked 
Haman.  Then  Haman  was  afraid 
before  the  king  and  the  queen. 


380 


7  And  the  kin^  arising  from 
the  banquet  of  wine  in  his  wrath 
went  into  the  palace  garden:  and 
Hamau  stood  iip  to  make  request 
for  his  life  to  Esther  the  queen; 
for  lie  saw  that  there  was  evil 
determined  against  him  by  the 
king. 

8  Then  the  king  returned  out  of 
the  palace  garden  into  the  place 
of  the  banquet  of  wine;  and  Ha- 
man  was  fallen  upon  the  bed 
wiiereon  Esther  was.  Then  said 
the  king,  Will  he  force  tlie  queen 
also  before  me  in  the  house?  As 
the  word  went  oiit  of  the  king's 
mouth,  they  covered  Hamau's 
face.    See  vrs.  9, 10,  p.  129. 

Est.  8—1  On  that  day  did  the 
king  give  the  house  of  Haman 
tlie  Jews'  enemy  imto  Esther  the 
(jueen.  And  JNIordecai  came  be- 
fore theking;  for  Esther  had  told 
what  he  was  unto  her. 

2  And  the  king  took  off  his  ring, 
which  he  had  taken  from  Haman, 
and  gave  it  unto  JNIordecai.  And 
Esther  set  Mordecai  over  the 
house  of  Haman. 

7  Then  the  king  Ahasuerus  said 
unto  Esther  the  queen  and  to 
3Iordecai  the  Jew,  Beliold,  1  have 
given  Esther  the  house  of  Haman, 
and  him  they  have  hanged  iipon 
the  gallows,  because  he  laid  his 
hand  upon  the  Jews. 

8  Write  ye  also  for  the  Jews,  as 
it  liketh  you,  in  the  king's  name, 
and  seal  It  with  tlie  king's  ring: 
for  the  writing  which  is  written 
in  the  king's  name,  and  sealed 
witli  the  king's  ring,  may  no  man 
reverse. 

10  And  he  wrote  in  the  king 
Ahasuerus'  name,  and  sealed  it 
with  the  king's  ring,  and  sent 
letters  by  posts  on  horseback, 
and  riders  on  mules,  camels,  and 
young  dromedaries: 

11  Wherein  the  king  granted 
the  Jews  in  every  city  to  gatlier 
themselves  together,  and  to  stand 
for  their  life,  to  destroy,  and  to 
caiise  to  perish,  all  the  power  of 
tlie  people  and  province  that 
would  assault  them,  both  little 
ones  and  women,  and  to  take  the 
spoil  of  them  for  a  prey, 

12  Upon  one  day  in  all  the  prov- 
inces of  king  Aha.suerus,  upon  the 
thirteenth  day  of  the  twelfth 
month,  which  is  the  month  Adar. 

1.5  And  Mordecai  went  out  from 
the  presence  of  the  king  in  royal 


aijparel  of  blue  and  white,  and 
with  a  great  crown  of  gold,  and 
with  a  garment  of  hue  linen  and 
purple :  and  the  city  of  Shushan 
rejoiced  and  was  glad. 

17  And  iu  every  province,  and 
in  every  city,  whithersoever  the 
king's  commandment  and  his  de- 
cree came,  the  Jews  had  joy  and 
gladness,  a  feast  and  a  good  day. 
And  many  of  the  people  of  tlie 
land  became  Jews;  for  the  fear 
of  the  Jews  fell  upon  them. 

Est.  9—1  Now  in  the  twelfth 
month,  that  is,  the  month  Adar, 
on  the  thirteenth  day  of  the  same, 
when  the  king's  commandment 
and  his  decree  drew  near  to  be 
put  into  execution, 

2  The  Jews  gathered  themselves 
together  in  their  cities  through- 
out all  the  provinces  of  the  king 
Ahasuerus,  to  lay  hand  on  such 
as  sought  their  hurt:  and  no  man 
could  withstand  them. 

3  And  all  the  rulers  of  the  prov- 
inces, and  the  lieutenants,  and  the 
deputies,  and  officers  of  the  king, 
helped  the  Jews ;  because  tlie  fear 
of  Mordecai  fell  upon  them. 

5  Thus  the  Jews  smote  all  their 
enemies  with  the  stroke  of  the 
sword,  and  slaughter, and  destruc- 
tion, and  did  what  they  would 
unto  those  that  hated  them. 

6  And  in  Shushan  the  palace 
the  Jews  slew  and  destroyed  five 
hundred  men. 

13  Then  said  Esther,  if  it  please 
the  king,  let  it  be  granted  to  the 
Jews  which  are  in  Shushan  to  do 
to  morrow  also  according  unto 
this  day's  deci-ee,  and  let  Ha- 
inan's ten  sons  be  hanged  upon 
the  gallows. 

14  And  the  king  commanded  it 
so  to  be  done:  and  the  decree  was 
given  at  Shushan ;  and  they  hang- 
ed Hainan's  ten  sons. 

1.5  For  the  Jews  that  were  in  Shu- 
shan gathered  themselves  togeth- 
er on  the  fourteenth  day  also  of 
the  month  Adar,  and  slew  three 
hundred  men  at  Shushan :  but  on 
the  prey  they  laid  not  their  hand. 

16  But  the  other  Jews  that  were 
in  the  king's  provinces  gathered 
themselves  together,  and  .stood 
for  their  lives,  and  had  rest  from 
their  enemies,  and  slew  of  their 
foes  seventy  and  five  thousand, 
but  they  laid  not  their  hands  on 
the  prey, 

17  On  the  thirteenth  day  of  the 


3S1 


month  Adar;  and  on  the  fonr- 
teeuth  day  of  tlie  same  rested 
they,  and  made  it  a  day  of  feast- 
ing and  gladness. 

18  But  the  -lews  that  were  at 
Sliushan  assembled  togetlier  on 
the  thirteenth  day  thereof,  and  on 
tlie  fourteenth  thereof;  and  on 
the  tif  teenth  day  of  the  same  they 
rested,  and  made  it  a  day  of 
feasting  and  gladness. 

19  Therefore  the  Jews  of  the  vil- 
lages, that  dwelt  in  the  unwalled 
towns,  made  the  fourteenth  day 
of  tlie  month  Adar  a  day  of  glad- 
ness and  feasting,  and  of  sending 
portions  one  to  another. 

20  And  Mordecai  wrote  these 
things,  and  sent  letters  unto  all 
the  Jews  that  were  in  all  the  prov- 
inces of  the  king  Ahasuerus, 

•21  To  establish  this  among  them, 
that  they  should  keep  the  four- 
teenth day  of  the  month  Adar, 
and  tlie  fifteenth  day  of  tlie  same, 
yearly, 

22  As  the  days  wherein  the  Jews 
rested  from  their  enemies,  and 
the  month  wliioh  was  tiu-ned  unto 
them  from  sorrow  to  joy,  and 
from  mourning  into  a  good  day: 
that  they  should  make  them  days 
of  feasting  and  .ioy,  and  of  send- 
ing portions  one  to  another,  and 
gifts  t9  the  poor. 

23  And  the  Jews  undertook  to 
do  as  they  had  begun,  and  as 
Mordecai  had  written  unto  them ; 

21  Because  Hainan,  the  enemy 
of  all  the  Jews,  had  devised  a- 
gainst  the  Jews  to-  destroy  them, 
and  had  cast  Pur,  that  is,  the  lot, 
to  consume  them,  and  to  destroy 
them : 

26  wherefore  they  called  these 
days  Purim  after  the  name  of  Pur. 

27  The  Jews  ordained,  and  took 
vipon  them,  and  upon  their  .seed, 
and  upon  all  sucli  as  joined  them- 
selves unto  them,  so  as  it  should 
not  fail,  that  they  would  keep 
these  two  days  according  to  theh 
writing,  and  according  to  their 
appointed  time  every  year; 

29  Then  Esther  the  queen,  and 
Mordecai  the  Jew,  wrote  with  all 
authority,  to  conhrm  this  second 
letter  of  Purim. 

30  And  lie  sent  the  letters  unto 
all  the  Jews,  to  the  hundred  twen- 
ty and  seven  provinces  of  the 
kingdom  of  Ahasuerus,  with 
words  of  peace  and  truth, 

;n  To  confirm  these  days  of 
Purim  in  their  times  appointed. 


according  as  Mordecai  the  Jew 
and  Esther  the  queen  had  en- 
joined them, 

Est.*  10—3  Mordecai  was  next 
unto  king  Ahasuerus,  and  great 
among  the  Jews,  and  accepted  of 
the  multitude  of  his  brethren, 
seeking  the  wealth  of  his  people, 
and  speaking  peace  to  all  his  seed. 

APOCRYPHAL  POEM. 

Jol)  and  the  Devil.  Job  and 
his  three  friends  and  Elihu.  Job 
from  wealth  to  poverty  and  afHic- 
tion,  and  then  to  greater  wealth, 
happiness,  and  long  life.  "  I 
know  that  mv  Redeemer  liveth," 
Job  91-25,  p.  385. 

Job  1—1  There  was  a  man  in  the 
land  of  Uz,  whose  name  was  Job: 
and  that  man  was  perfect  and  up- 
right, and  one  that  feared  God, 
and  eschewed  evil. 

2  And  there  were  born  unto  him 
seven  sons  and  three  daughters. 

3  His  substance  also  was  seven 
thousand  sheep,  three  thousand 
camels,  five  hundred  yoke  of 
oxen,  and  five  hundred  she  asses, 
and  a  very  great  household ;  so 
that  this  man  was  the  greatest 
of  all  the  men  of  the  ea.st. 

4  And  his  sous  fea.sted  in  their 
houses,  every  one  his  day;  and 
sent  and  called  for  their  three 
sisters  to  eat  and  to  drink  with 
them. 

5  And,  when  the  days  of  their 
feasting  were  gone.  Job  sent  and 
sanctified  them,  and  rose  up  early 
in  the  morning,  and  offered  burnt 
offerings  according  to  the  number 
of  them  all:  for  Job  said.  It  may 
be  that  my  sons  have  sinned,  and 
cursed  God  in  tiieir  hearts.  Thus 
did  Job  continually. 

6  Now  there  was  a  day  when 
the  sons  of  God  came  to  present 
themselves  before  the  Lord,  and 
Satan  came  also  among  tliem. 

7  And  the  Lord  .said  unto  Satan, 
Whence  comest  thou?  Then  Sa- 
tan answered.  From  going  to  and 
iro  in  the  earth,  and  from  walk- 
ing up  and  down  in  it. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Satan, 
Hast  thou  considered  my  servant 
Jol),  that  there  is  none  like  him 
in  the  earth,  a  perfect  and  an  up- 
right man,  one  that  feareth  God, 
and  esclieweth  evil? 

9'  Then  Satan  answered  the 
Lord,  and  said.  Doth  Job  fear 
God  for  nought? 


382 


10  Hast  uot  tlioii  made  a  hedge 
about  him,  and  about  his  house, 
and  about  all  that  he  hath  on  ev- 
ery side?  thou  hast  blessed  the 
work  of  his  hands,  and  his  sub- 
stance is  increased  in  the  land. 

11  But  put  forth  thine  hand  now, 
and  touch  all  that  he  hath,  and 
he  will  curse  thee  to  thy  face. 

12  And  the  Lord  said,  all  that 
he  hath  is  in  thy  power;  only 
upon  himself  put  not  forth  thine 
hand.  So  Satan  went  forth  from 
the  presence  of  the  Lord. 

13  And  there  was  a  day  when 
his  sons  and  his  daughters  were 
eating  and  drinking  wine  in  their 
eldest  orother"s  house: 

14  And  there  came  a  messenger 
unt'i  Job,  and  said.  The  oxen  were 
ploughing,  and  the  asses  feeding 
beside  them : 

1.5  And  the  Sabeans  fell  upon 
them,  and  took  them  away;  yea, 
they  have  slain  the  servants  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword ;  and  I  only 
am  escaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 

IG  While  he  was  yet  speaking, 
there  came  also  auotlier,  and  said. 
The  tire  of  God  is  fallen  from 
heaven,  and  hath  liurned  up  the 
sheep,  and  the  servants,  and  con- 
siimed  them;  and  I  only  am  es- 
scaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 

17  While  he  was  yet  speaking, 
there  came  also  anotlier,  and  said. 
The  Chaldeans  made  out  three 
bands,  and  fell  upon  the  camels, 
and  have  carried  them  away,  yea, 
and  slain  the  servants  witli  the 
edge  of  the  sword ;  and  I  only  am 
escaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 

18  There  came  also  another,  and 
said  Thy  sons  and  thy  daughters 
were  eating  and  drinking  wine  in 
their  eldest  brother's  hou,se : 

19  And,  behold,  there  came  a 
great  Avind  from  the  wilderness, 
and  smote  the  four  corners  of  the 
liouse,  and  it  fell  upon  the  young 
men,  and  they  are  dead;  and  I 
only  am  escaped  alone  to  tell  thee. 

21)  Then  Job  arose,  and  rent  his 
mantle,  and  shaved  his  head,  and 
fell  down  upon  the  ground,  and 
worshipped, 

21  And  said.  Naked  came  I  out 
of  my  mother's  womb,  and  naked 
shall  I  return  thither:  the  Lord 
gave,  and  the  Lord  hath  taken 
away ;  blessed  be  the  name  of  the 
Lord. 

2*2  In  all  this  Job  sinned  not,  nor 
charged  God  foolishly. 


Job  2—1  Again  there  was  a  day 
when  the  sons  of  God  came  to 

£  resent    themselves    before    the 
ORD,  and  Satan  came  also  among 
them  to  present  himself. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Satan, 
From  whence  comest  thou?  And 
Satan  answered  and  said.  From 
going  to  and  fro  iri  the  earth,  and 
from  walking  up  and  down  in  it. 

3  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Satan. 
Hast  thou  considered  my  servant 
Job,  that  there  is  none  like  him  in 
the  earth,  a  perfect  and  an  up- 
right man,  one  that  feareth  God, 
and  escheweth  evil?  and  still  lie 
holdeth  fast  his  integrity,  al- 
though thou  movedst  me  against 
him, to  destroy  him  withoiit  cause. 

4  And  Satan  answered  and  said. 
Skin  for  skin,  yea,  all  that  a  man 
hath  will  he  give  for  his  life. 

5  But  put  forth  thine  hand  now, 
and  touch  his  bone  and  iiis  tlesh, 
and  he  will  curse  thee  to  thy  face. 

G  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Satan, 
Behold, he  is  in  thine  hand;  but 
save  his  life. 

7  So  went  Satan  from  the  pres- 
ence of  the  Lord,  and  smote  Job 
with  sore  boils  from  the  sole  of 
his  foot  unto  his  crown. 

8  And  he  took  him  a  potsherd  to 
scrape  him.self  withal ;  and  he  .sat 
down  among  the  ashes. 

9  Then  said  his  wife  unto  him, 
Do.st  thou  still  retain  thine  in- 
tegrity? curse  God,  and  die. 

10  But  he  said.  Thou  speakest  as 
one  of  the  fooli.sh  women.  What? 
shall  we  receive  good  at  the  hand 
of  God.  and  shall  we  not  i-eceive 
evil?  In  all  this  did  not  Job  sin 
with  his  lips. 

11  Now  when  Job's  three  friends 
heard  of  all  this  evil  that  was 
come  upon  him.  they  came  every 
one  from  his  own  place ;  Elipbaz 
the  Temanite,  Bildad  the  Shu- 
hite.  and  Zophar  the  Naamathite : 
for  they  had  made  an  appoint- 
ment together  to  come  to  mourn 
with  him.  and  to  comfort  him. 

12  And  when  they  lifted  up  their 
eyes  afar  off.  and  knew  him  not, 
they  lifted  \\p  their  voice,  and 
wept  ■  and  they  rent  every  one  his 
mantle,  and  sprinkled  dust  upon 
their  heads  toward  heaven. 

13  So  they  sat  down  with  him 
upon  the  ground  seven  days  and 
seven  niglits,  and  none  spake  a 
word  unto  him :  for  they  saw  that 
his  grief  was  very  great. 


383 


Job  3—1  After  this  opened  Job 
his  mouth,  and  cursed  his  day, 

2  And  said, 

3  Let  the  day  perish  wherein  I 
was  born. 

4  Let  that  day  be  darkness;  let 
not  God  regard  it  from  above, 
neither  let  the  light  shine  upon  it. 

.5  Let  darkness  and  the  shadow 
of  death  stain  it;  let  a  cloud 
dwell  upon  it;  let  the  blackness 
of  the  day  terrify  it. 

6  As  for  that  night,  let  darkness 
seize  upon  it;  let  it  not  be  joined 
unto  the  days  of  the  year;  let  it 
not  come  into  the  number  of  the 
months. 

7  Lo,  let  that  night  be  solitary ; 
let  no  joyful  voice  come  therein. 

9  Let  the  stars  of  the  twilight 
thereof  be  dark;  let  it  look  for 
light,  but  have  none ;  neither  let 
it  see  the  dawning  of  the  day. 

11  Why  died  I  not  from  the 
womb?  why  did  I  not  give  up  the 
ghost  when  I  came  out  of  the 
belly? 

13  For  now  should  I  have  lain 
still  and  been  quiet,  I  should  have 
slept :  then  had  I  been  at  rest, 

16  Or  as  a  hidden  untimely  birth 
1  had  not  been ;  as  infants  which 
never  saw  light. 

17  There  the  wicked  cease  from 
troubling;  and  there  the  weai-y 
be  at  rest. 

18  There  the  prisoners  rest  to- 
gether; they  hear  not  the  voice 
of  the  oppressor. 

19  The  small  and  great  are 
there;  and  the  servant  is  free 
from  his  master. 

20  Wherefore  is  light  given  to 
him  that  is  in  misery,  and  life 
unto  the  bitter  in  soul ; 

21  Which  long  for  death,  but  it 
Cometh  not;  and  dig  for  it  more 
than  for  hid  treasiu-es ; 

22  Which  rejoice  exceedingly, 
and  are  glad,  when  they  can  tind 
the  grave? 

23  Why  is  light  given  to  a  man 
whose  way  is  hid  and  whom  God 
hath  hedged  in? 

'  24  For  my  sighing  cometh  before 
1  eat,  and  my  roarings  are  poured 
out  like  the  waters. 

25  For  the  thing  which  I  greatly 
feared  is  come  upon  me. 

26  I  was  not  in  safety,  neither 
had  I  rest,  neither  was  I  quiet; 
yet  trouble  came. 

Job  4—1  Then  Eliphaz  the  Tem- 
anite  answered  and  said, 


2  If  we  assay  to  commune  with 
thee,  wilt  thou  be  grieved?  but 
who  can  withhold  himself  from 
speaking? 

3  Behold,  thou  hast  instructed 
many,  and  thou  hast  strengthened 
the  weak  hands. 

4  Thy  words  have  upholden  him 
that  was  falling,  and  thou  hast 
strengthened  the  feeble  knees. 

5  But  now  it  is  come  upon  thee, 
and  thou  faintest;  it  toucheth 
thee,  and  thou  art  troubled. 

Job  5—1  Call  now,  if  there  be 
any  that  will  answer  thee :  and  to 
which  of  the  saints  wilt  thou  turn? 

6  Affliction  cometh  not  forth  of 
the  dust,  neither  doth  trouble 
spring  out  of  the  ground : 

7  Yet  man  is  born  unto  trouble, 
as  the  sparks  fly  upward. 

Job  6—1  But  Job  answered  and 
said, 

2  Oh  that  my  grief  were  thor- 
oughly weighed,  and  my  calamity 
laid  in  the  balances  together! 

3  For  now  it  would  be  heavier 
than  the  sand  of  the  sea:  there- 
fore my  words  are  swallowed  up. 

8  Oh  that  I  might  have  my  re- 
quest ;  and  that  God  would  grant 
me  the  thing  that  1  long  for! 

9  Even  that  it  would  please  God 
to  destroy  me ;  that  he  would  let 
loose  his  hand,  and  cut  me  off! 

Job  7—1  Is  there  not  an  appointed 
time  to  man  upon  earth?  are  not 
his  days  also  like  the  days  of  a 
hireling? 

2  As  a  servant  earnestly  desireth 
the  shadow,  and  as  a  hireling  look- 
eth  for  the  reward  of  his  work : 

3  So  am  I  made  to  possess  months 
of  vanity,  and  wearisome  nights 
are  apponited  to  me. 

4  W'hen  I  lie  down,  I  say.  When 
.shall  I  arise,  and  the  night  be 
gone?  and  I  am  full  of  toi5siugs  to 
and  fro  unto  the  dawning  of  the 
day. 

6  My  days  are  swifter  than  a 
weaver's  shuttle,  and  are  spent 
without  hope. 

16  I  loathe  it;  I  would  not  live 
alway ;  let  me  alone ;  for  my  days 
are  vanity. 

Job  8—1  Then  answered  Bildad 
the  iShuhite,  and  said, 

2  How  long  wilt  thou  speak 
these  things?  and  how  long  shall 
the  words  of  thy  mouth  be  like  a 
.strong  wind? 

6  If  thoii  wert  pure  and  upright ; 
surely  now  he  would  awake  for 


384 


thee,  and  make  the  habitation  of 
thy  righteousness  prosperous. 

7  Tliough  thy  beginning  was 
small,  yet  thy  latter  end  should 
greatly  increase. 

20  Behold,  God  will  not  cast 
away  a  perfect  man,  neither  will 
he  help  the  evil  doers: 

Job  ^—1  Then  Job  answered  and 
said, 

2  I  know  it  is  so  of  a  truth :  but 
how  should  man  be  just  with  God? 

3  If  he  will  contend  with  liim, 
he  cannot  answer  him. 

i  He  is  wise  in  heart. and  mighty 
in  strengtli:  who  hath  hardened 
himself  against  him,  and  hath 
prospered? 

Job  10—1  My  soul  is  weary  of  my 
life;  I  will  leave  my  complaint 
upon  myself;  I  will  speak  in  the 
bitterness  of  my  soul. 

2  I  will  say  unto  God,  Do  not 
cofidemn  me ;  shew  me  wherefore 
thou  contendest  with  me. 

9  Remember,  I  beseech  thee, 
that  thou  hast  made  me  as  the 
clay ;  and  wilt  thou  bring  me  into 
dust  again? 

18  Wherefore  then  hast  thou 
brought  meforttjout  of  the  womb? 
Oh  that  I  had  given  up  the  ghost, 
and  no  eye  had  seen  me  I 

20  Are  not  my  days  few?  cease 
then,  and  let  me  alone,  that  I 
may  take  comfort  a  little, 

21  Before  1  go  whence  I  shall  not 
return,  even  to  the  land  of  dark- 
ness and  the  shadow  of  death. 

Job  11 — 1  Then  answered  Zophar 
the  Naamathite,  and  said, 

2  Should  not  the  multitude  of 
words  be  answered?  and  should 
a  man  full  of  talk  be  justified? 

3  Should  thy  lies  make  men 
hold  their  peace?  and  when  thou 
mockest,  shall  no  man  make  thee 
ashamed? 

4  For  thou  hast  said.  My  doc- 
trine is  pm-e,  and  I  am  clean  in 
thine  eyes. 

5  But  oh  that  God  would  speak, 
and  open  his  lips  against  thee; 

6  And  that  he  would  shew  thee 
the  secrets  of  wisdom.  Know 
therefore  that  God  exacteth  of 
thee  less  than  thine  iniquity  de- 
serveth. 

Job  12—1  And  Job  answered  and 
said, 

2  No  doubt  but  ye  are  the  people, 
and  wisdom  shall  die  with  you. 

3  But  I  have  understanding  as 
well  as  you ;  I  am  not  inferior  to 


yoti :  yea,  who  knoweth  not  such 
things  as  these? 

4  I  am  as  one  mocked  of  his 
neighbom-,  who  calleth  upon  God, 
and  he  answereth  him:  the  just 
upright  man  is  laughed  to  scorn. 

Job  13—4  Bitt  ye  are  forgers  of 
lies,  ye  are  all  physicians  of  no 
value. 

5  Oh  that  ye  would  altogether 
hold  your  peace!  and  it  should  be 
your  wisdom. 

Job  15—1  Then  answered  Eli- 
phaz  the  Temauite,  and  said, 

2  Should  a  wise  man  utter  vain 
knowledge,  and  till  his  belly  witli 
the  east  wind? 

3  Should  he  reason  with  un- 
profitable talk?  or  witli  speeches 
wherewith  he  can  do  no  good? 

4  Yea,  thou  castest  off  fear,  and 
restrainest  prayer  before  God. 

5  For  thy  mouth  uttereth  thine 
iniquity,  and  thou  choosest  the 
tongue  of  the  crafty. 

6  Thine  own  mouthcoudemneth 
thee,  and  not  I:  yea,  thine  own 
lips  testify  against  thee. 

7  Art  thou  the  first  man  that 
was  born?  or  wast  thou  made  be- 
fore the  hills? 

Job  16—1  Then  Job  answered 
and  said, 

2  I  have  heard  many  such 
things:  miserable  comforters  are 
ye  all. 

3  Shall  vain  words  have  an  end? 
or  what  emboldeneth  thee  that 
thou  answerest? 

4  I  also  could  speak  as  ye  do:  if 
your  soul  were  in  my  soul's  stead, 
I  could  heap  up  words  against 
you,  and  shake  mine  head  at  you. 

5  But  I  would  strengthen  you 
with  my  mouth,  and  the  moving 
of  my  lips  should  assuage  your 
grief, 

6  Though  I  speak,  my  grief  is 
not  assuaged:  and  though  I  for- 
bear, what  am  I  eased? 

11  God  hath  delivered  me  to  the 
ungodly,  and  tm'ned  me  over  into 
tlie  hands  of  the  wicked,    p.  221. 

Job  17—10  But  as  for  you  all,  do 
ye  return,  for  I  cannot  find  one 
wise  man  among  you. 

Job  18—1  Then  answered  Bildad 
the  Shithite,  and  said, 

2  How  long  will  it  be  ere  ye 
make  an  end  of  words?  mark, 
and  afterwards  we  will  speak. 

3  Wherefore  are  we  counted  as 
beasts,  and  reputed  vile  in  your 
sight? 


385 


Job  19—1  Then  Job  said, 

2  How  lone  will  ye  vex  my 
soul,  and  break  me  in  pieces  with 
words? 

3  These  ten  times  have  ye  re- 
proached me:  ye  are  nut  ashamed 
that  ye  make  yourselves  strange 
to  me. 

4  And  be  it  indeed  that  I  have 
erred,  mine  error  remaiueth  with 
myself. 

6  Know  now  that  God  hath 
overthrown  me,  and  hath  com- 
passed me  with  his  net. 

9  He  hath  stripped  me  of  my 
glory,  and  taken  tue  crown  from 
my  head. 

10  He  hath  destroyed  me  on 
every  side,  and  mine  hope  hath 
he  removed  like  a  tree. 

13  He  hath  put  my  brethren  far 
from  me,  and  mine  acquaintance 
are  verily  estranged  from  me. 

14  My  kinsfolk  have  failed,  and 
my  familiar  friends  have  forgot- 
ten me. 

15  They  that  dwell  in  mine 
house,  and  my  maids,  count  me 
for  a  stranger:  I  am  an  alien  in 
their  siglit. 

16  I  called  my  servant,  and  he 
gave  me  no  answer;  1  entreated 
him  with  my  mouth. 

17  My  breath  is  strange  to  my 
wife,  though  I  entreated  for  the 
children's  sake  of  mine  own  body. 

18  Yea,  young  children  despised 
me;  I  arose,  and  they  spake 
against  me. 

19  All  my  inward  friends  ab- 
hori'ed  me:  and  they  whom  I 
loved  are  turned  against  me. 

20  My  bone  cleaveth  to  my  skin 
and  to  my  flesh,  and  I  am  escaped 
with  the  skin  of  my  teeth. 

21  Have  pity  upon  me,  have  pity 
upon  me,  O  ye  my  friends ;  for  the 
hand  of  God  hath  touched  me. 

23  Oh  that  my  words  were  now 
written !  oh  that  they  were  print- 
ed in  a  book ! 

24  That  they  were  graven  with 
an  iron  pen  and  lead  in  the  rock 
for  ever ! 

25  For  I  know  that  my  Redeemer 
liveth,  and  that  he  shall  stand  at 
the  latter  day  upon  the  earth : 

26  And  though  after  my  skin 
worms  destroy  this  body,  yet  in 
my  tiesli  shall  I  see  God: 

27  Whom  I  shall  see  for  myself, 
and  mine  eyes  shall  behold,  and 
not  another ;  though  my  reins  be 
consumed  within  me. 


Job  20—1  Then  answered  Zophar 
the  Naamathite.  and  said, 

2  Therefore  do  my  thoughts 
cause  me  to  answer,  and  for  this 
I  make  haste. 

3  I  have  lieard  the  check  of  my 
reproach,  and  the  spirit  of  my  lui- 
derstandingcauseth  metoanswer. 

4  Knowest  thou  not  this  of  old, 
since  man  was  placed  upon  earth, 

5  That  the  triumphing  of  the 
wicked  is  short,  and  the  joy  of  the 
hypocrite  bxit  for  a  moment,  p.  90. 

Job  21—1  But  Job  answered  and 
said, 

2  Hear  diligently  my  speech, 
and  let  this  be  your  consolations. 

3  Suffer  me  that  I  may  speak; 
and  after  that  I  have  spoken, 
mock  on. 

4  As  for  me,  is  my  complaint  to 
man?  and  if  it  were  so,  why  should 
not  my  spirit  be  troubled? 

.5  Mark  me,  and  be  astonished, 
and  lay  your  hand  upon  your 
mouth. 

27  Behold, I  knowyourthoughts, 
and  the  devices  which  ye  wrong- 
fully imagine  against  me. 

34  How  then  comfort  ye  me  in 
vain,  seeing  in  your  answers  there 
remaineth  falsehood? 

Job  22—1  Then  Eliphaz  the  Tem- 
anite  answered  and  said, 

2  Can  a  man  be  profitable  unto 
God,  as  he  that  is  wise  may  be 
protitable  unto  himself? 

3  Is  it  any  pleasui-e  to  the  Al- 
mighty, that  tiiou  art  righteous? 
or  is  it  gain  to  him,  that  thou 
madest  thy  ways  perfect? 

4  Will  he  reprove  thee  for  fear 
of  thee? 

5  Is  not  thy  wickedness  great? 
and  thine  iniquities  infinite? 

6  For  thou  hast  taken  a  pledge 
from  thy  brother  for  nought,  and 
stripped  the  naked  of  their  cloth- 
ing. 

7  Thou  hast  not  given  water  to 
the  weary  to  drnik,  and  thou 
hast  withholden  bread  from  the 
hungry. 

8  But  as  for  the  mighty  man,  he 
had  the  earth ;  and  the  honour- 
able man  dwelt  in  it. 

9  Thou  hast  sent  widows  away 
empty,  and  the  arms  of  the  fath- 
erless have  been  broken. 

10  Therefore  snares  are  round 
about  thee,  and  sudden  fear 
troubleth  thee; 

23  If  thou  return  to  the  Al- 
mighty, thou  shalt  be  built  up. 


386 


•24  Then  shalt  thou  lay  up  gold 
as  dust,  and  the  gold  of  Ophu"  as 
the  stones  of  the  brooks. 

25  Yea,  the  Almighty  shall  be 
thy  defence,  and  thou  shall  have 
plenty  of  silver. 

Job  23— 1  Then  Job  answered  and 
said,  Even  to  day  ismy  complaint 
bitter:  my  stroke  is  heavier  than 
ray  groaning. 

Job 24— 25  And  if  it  be  not  so  now, 
who  will  make  me  a  liar,  and 
make  my  speech  nothing  worth? 

Job  29—1  Moreover  Job  con- 
tinued his  parable,  and  said, 

2  Oh  that  I  were  as  in  months 
past,  as  in  the  days  when  God 
preserved  me; 

3  When  his  candle  shined  upon 
my  head,  and  when  by  his  light  I 
walked  through  darkness: 

4  As  I  was  in  the  days  of  my 
youth,  when  the  secret  of  God 
was  upon  my  tabernacle ; 

5  When  the  Almighty  was  yet 
with  me,  when  my  children  were 
about  me : 

6  When  I  washed  my  steps  with 
biitter,  and  the  rock  poured  me 
out  rivers  of  oil ; 

7  When  I  went  out  to  the  gate 
through  the  city,  when  I  prepared 
my  seat  in  the  street! 

8  The  young  men  saw  me,  and 
hid  themselves:  and  the  aged 
arose,  and  stood  up. 

9  The  princes  refrained  talking, 
and  laid  their  hand  on  their 
mouth. 

10  The  nobles  held  their  peace, 
and  their  tongue  cleaved  to  the 
roof  of  their  mouth. 

11  When  the  ear  heard  me,  then 
it  blessed  me;  and  when  the  eye 
saw  me,  it  gave  witness  to  me: 

12  Because  I  delivered  the  poor 
that  cried,  and  the  fatherless, 
and  him  that  had  none  to  help 
him. 

13  The  blessing  of  him  that  was 
ready  to  perish  came  upon  me: 
and  I  caused  the  widow's  heart  to 
sing  for  joy. 

14  I  put  on  righteousness,  and 
it  clothed  me:  my  judgment  was 
as  a  robe  and  a  diadem. 

15  1  was  eyes  to  the  blind,  and 
feet  was  1  to  the  lame. 

16  I  was  a  father  to  the  poor: 
and  the  cause  which  I  knew  not  1 
searched  out. 

17  And  1  brake  the  jaws  of  the 
wicked,  and  plucked  the  spoil  out 
of  his  teeth. 

20  My  glory  was  fresh  in  me,  and 


my  bow  was  renewed  in  my  hand. 

21  Unto  me  men  gave  ear,  and 
waited,  and  kept  silence  at  my 
counsel. 

22  After  my  words  they  spake 
not  again;  and  my  speech  drop- 
ped upon  them. 

23  And  they  waited  for  me  as 
for  the  rain.    p.  249. 

24  If  1  laughed  on  them,  they 
believed  it  not;  and  the  light  of 
my  countenance  they  cast  not 
down. 

25  I  chose  out  their  way,  and  sat 
chief,  and  dwelt  as  a  king  in  the 
army,  as  one  that  comforteth  the 
mourners. 

Job  30—1  But  now  they  that  are 
younger  than  I  have  me  in  de- 
rision, whose  fathers  I  would  have 
disdained  to  have  set  with  the 
dogs  of  my  flock. 

8  They  were  children  of  fools, 
yea,  children  of  base  men:  they 
were  viler  than  the  earth. 

9  And  now  am  I  their  song,  yea, 
I  am  their  byword. 

10  They  abhor  me,  they  flee  far 
from  me,  and  spare  not  to  spit  in 
my  face. 

Job  31—6  Let  me  be  weighed  in 
an  even  balance,  that  God  may 
know  mine  integrity. 

7  If  my  step  hath  turned  out  of 
the  way,  and  mine  heart  walked 
after  mine  eyes,  and  if  any  blot 
hath  cleaved  to  mine  hands; 

8  Then  let  me  sow,  and  let  an- 
other eat ;  yea,  let  my  offspring  be 
rooted  out. 

9  If  mine  heart  have  been  de- 
ceived by  a  woman,  or  if  1  have 
laid  wait  at  my  neighbour's  door; 

10  Then  let  my  wife  grind  unto 
ain)theri  and  let  others  how  down 
upon  her. 

13  If  I  did  despise  the  cause  of 
my  manservant  or  of  my  maid- 
servant, when  they  contended 
with  me: 

16  If  I  have  withheld  the  poor 
from  their  desire,  or  have  caused 
the  eyes  of  the  widow  to  fail ; 

17  Or  have  eaten  my  morsel  my- 
self alone,  and  the  fatherless  hath 
not  eaten  thereof ; 

19  If  I  have  seen  any  perish  for 
want  of  clothing,  or  any  poor 
without  covering; 

'20  If  his  loins  have  not  blessed 
me,  and  if  he  were  not  warmed 
with  the  fleece  of  my  sheep ; 

21  If  I  have  lifted  up  my  hand 
against  the  fatherless,  when  I  saw 
my  help  in  the  gate: 


387 


22  Then  let  mine  arm  fall  from 
my  shoulder  blade,  and  mine  arm 
he  broken  fiom  the  bone. 

24  If  I  have  made  gold  my  hope, 
or  have  said  to  the  fine  gold.  Thou 
art  my  confidence ; 

25  If  1  rejoiced  because m y  wealth 
was  great,  and  because  mine  hand 
had  gotten  much; 

,29  If  I  rejoiced  at  the  destruc- 
tion of  him  that  hated  me,  or  lift- 
ed upmyself  Wlien  evil  found  him ; 

30  (Neither  have  I  suffered  my 
mouth  to  sin  by  wishing  a  cm-se  to 
his  soul.) 

32  The  stranger  did  not  lodge  in 
the  street:  but  I  opened  my  doors 
to  the  traveller. 

SI  Did  I  fear  a  great  multitude, 
or  did  the  contempt  of  families 
terrify  me,  that  I  kept  silence,  and 
went  not  out  of  the  door? 

35  Oh  that  one  would  hear  me ! 
behold,  my  desire  is,  that  the  Al- 
mighty would  answer  me,  and  that 
mine  adversary  had  written  a 
book. 

40  Let  thistles  grow  instead  of 
wheat,  and  cockle  instead  of  bar- 
ley.   The  words  of  Job  are  ended. 

Job  32—1  So  these  three  men 
ceased  to  answer  Job,  because  he 
was  righteous  in  his  own  eyes. 

2  Then  was  kindled  the  wrath 
of  Elihu  the  sun  of  Barachel  the 
Buzite,  of  the  kindred  of  Ram: 
againstJobwas  his  wrath  kindled, 
because  hejustifiedhimself  rather 
than  God. 

3  Also  against  his  three  friends 
was  his  wrath  kindled,  because 
they  had  found  no  answer,  and  yet 
had  condemned  Job. 

4  Now  Elihu  had  waited  till  Job 
had  spoken,  because  they  were 
elder  than  he. 

5  When  El ihu  saw  thatthere  was 
no  answer  in  the  mouth  of  these 
three  men,  then  his  wrath  was 
kindled. 

6  And  Elihu  answered  and  said, 
I  am  young,  and  ye  are  very  old ; 
wherefore!  was  afraid,  and  durst 
not  .shew  you  mine  opinion. 

7  I  said.  Days  should  speak,  and 
multitude  of  years  should  teach 
wisdom. 

SButthereisaspirit  in  man:  and 
the  inspiration  of-  the  Almighty 
giveth  them  imderstanding. 

9  Great  men  are  not  always 
wise:  neither  do  the  aged  under- 
stand judgment. 

10  Therefore  I  said.  Hearken  to 
me ;  I  also  will  shew  mine  opinion. 


11  Behold,  I  waited  for  your 
words;  I  gave  ear  to  your  rea- 
sons, whilst  ye  .searched  out  what 
to  say. 

12  Yea,  I  attended  unto  you, and, 
behold,  there  was  none  of  you  that 
convinced  Job,  or  that  answered 
his  words: 

14  Now  he  hath  not  directed  his 
words  against  me:  neither  will  I 
an.swer  him  with  your  speeches. 

17  I  said,  I  will  answer  also  my 
part ;  I  also  will  shew  mine  opin- 
ion. 

18  For  I  am  full  of  matter;  the 
spirit  within  me  constraineth 
me. 

19  Behold,  my  belly  is  as  wine 
which  hath  no  vent ;  it  is  ready  to 
burst  like  new  bottles. 

20  I  will  speak,  that  I  may  be 
refreshed:  I  will  open  my  lips  and 
answer. 

21  Let  me  not,  I  pray  you,  ac- 
cept any  man's  person ;  neither  let 
me  give  flattering  tit  lesuntoman. 

22  For  I  know  not  to  give  flatter- 
ing titles;  in  so  doing  my  Maker 
would  soon  take  me  away. 

Job  33—1  Wherefore,  Job,  I  pray 
thee,  hear  my  speeches,  and 
hearken  to  all  my  words. 

8  Surely  thou  hast  spoken  in 
mine  hearing,  and  I  have  heard 
the  voice  of  thy  words,  saying, 

9  I  am  clean  without  transgres- 
sion. I  am  innocent;  neither  is 
there  iniijuity  ui  me. 

Job  34—1  Furthermore  Elihu  an- 
swered and  said, 

7  What  man  is  like  Job,  who 
drhiketh  up  scorning  like  water? 

8  Which  goeth  in  company  with 
the  workers  of  iniquity,  and  walk- 
eth  with  wicked  men. 

9  For  he  hath  said.  It  profiteth 
a  man  nothing  that  he  should  de- 
light himself  with  God. 

3.5  Job  hath  spoken  without 
knowledge,  and  his  words  were 
without  wisdom. 

36  My  desire  is  that  Job  may  be 
tried  unto  the  end,  because  of  his 
answers  for  wicked  men. 

37  For  he  addeth  rebellion  unto 
his  sin,  he  clappeth  his  hands 
among  us,  and  multiplieth  his 
words  against  God. 

Job  38—1  Then  the  Lord  an- 
swered Job  out  of  the  whirlwind, 
and  said, 

2  Who  is  this  that  darkeneth 
counsel  by  words  without  knowl- 
edge? 

3  Gird  up  now  thy  loins  like  a 


388 


man ;  for  I  will  demand  of  thee, 
and  answer  thou  me. 

4  Where  was  thou  when  I  laid 
the  foundations  of  the  earth?  de- 
clare, if  thou  hast  understanding. 

5  Who  hath  laid  the  measures 
thereof,  if  thou  knowest?  or  who 
hath  stretched  the  line  upon  it? 

6  Whereupon  are  the  founda- 
tions thereof  fastened?  or  who 
laid  the  comer  stone  thereof? 

18  Has  thou  perceived  the 
hreadth  of  the  earth?  declare  if 
thou  knowest  it  all. 

Job  42—1  Then  Job  answered 
the  LoKD,  and  said, 

2  I  know  that  thou  canst  do 
every  thing,  and  that  no  thought 
can  be  withholden  from  thee. 

3  Who  is  he  that  hideth  counsel 
without  knowledge?  therefore 
have  I  uttered  that  1  understood 
not;  things  too  wonderful  for 
me,  which  1  knew  not. 

4  Hear.  I  beseech  thee,  and  1 
will  speak:  1  will  demand  of  thee, 
and  declare  thou  unto  me. 

5  I  have  heard  of  thee  by  the 
hearing  of  the  ear ;  but  now  mine 
eye  seeth  thee: 

6  Wherefore  I  abhor  myself,  and 
repent  in  dust  and  ashes. 

7  f  And  it  was  so,  that  after  the 
Lord  had  spoken  these  words  un- 
to Job.  the  Lord  said  to  Elipliaz 
the  Temanite,  My  wrath  is  kin- 
dled against  thee,  and  against 
thy  two  friends:  for  ye  have  not 
spoken  of  me  the  thing  that  is 
right,  as  mv  servant  Job  hath. 

8  Therefore  take  unto  you  now 
seven  bullocks  and  seven  rams, 
and  go  to  my  servant  Job,  and 
offer  up  for  yourselves  a  burnt 
offermg;  and  my  servant  Job  shall 
pray  for  you:  for  him  will  I  ac- 
cept: lest  I  deal  with  you  after 
your  foUv,  in  that  ye  have  not 
spoken  of  me  the  thing  which  is 
right,  like  my  servant  Job. 

9  So  Eliphaz  the  Temanite  and 
Bildad  the  Shuhite  and  Zophar  the 
Naamathite  went,  and  did  accord- 
ing asthe  LoRDCommanded  them : 
the  Lord  also  accepted  Job. 

10  And  the  Lord  turned  the 
captivity  of  Job,  when  he  prayed 
for  his  friends:  also  the  Lord 
gave  Job  twice  as  much  as  he 
had  before. 

11  Then  came  there  unto  him 
all  his  brethren,  and  all  his  sis- 
ters, and  all  they  that  had  been 
of  his  acquaintance  before,  and 


did  eat  bread  with  him  in  his 
house:  and  they  bemoaned  him, 
and  comforted  him  over  all  the 
evil  that  the  Lord  had  brought 
upon  him:  every  man  also  gave 
hun  a  piece  of  money,  and  every 
one  an  earring  of  gold. 

12  So  the  Lord  blessed  the  lat- 
ter end  of  Job  more  than  his  be- 
ginning: for  he  had  fourteen 
thousand  sheep,  and  six  thousand 
camels,  and  a  thousand  yoke  of 
oxen,  and  a  thousand  she  asses. 

13  He  had  also  seven  sons  and 
three  daughters. 

14  And  he  called  the  name  of 
the  first,  Jemima ;  and  the  name 
of  the  second,  Kezia;  and  the 
name  of  the  third,  Keren-happuch. 

15  And  in  all  the  land  were  no 
women  found  so  fair  as  the  daugh- 
ters of  Job:  and  their  father  gave 
them  inheritance  among  their 
brethren. 

16  After  this  lived  Job  a  hun- 
dred and  forty  years,  and  saw  his 
sons,  and  his  sous'  sons,  even  four 
generations. 

17  So  Job  died,  being  old  and 
full  of  days. 

Nebuchadnezzar's  two  dreams 
interpreted  by  Daniel. 

'  Da.  2—31  Thou,  O  king,  sawest, 
and  behold  a  great  image.  This 
great  image, whose brightnesswas 
excellent,  stood  before  thee ;  and 
the  form  thereof  was  teiTible. 

32  This  image's  head  was  of  fine 
gold,  his  breast  and  his  arms  of 
silver,  his  belly  and  his  thighs  of 
brass,  ,  .    „ 

33  His  legs  of  iron,  his  feet  part 
of  iron  and  part  of  clay. 

34  Thou  sawest  till  that  a  stone 
was  cut  out  without  hands,  which 
smote  the  image  upon  his  feet  that 
were  of  iron  and  clay,  and  brake 
them  to  pieces. 

35  Then  was  the  iron,  the  clay, 
the  bra.ss,  the  silver,  and  the  gold, 
broken  to  pieces  together,  and  be- 
came like  the  chaff  of  the  summer 
threshingfloors;  and  the  wind  car- 
ried them  away,  that  no  place  was 
found  for  them:  and  the  stone 
that  smote  the  image  became  a 
great  mountain,  and  filled  the 
whole  earth. 

36  This  is  the  dream ;  and  we 
will  tell  the  interpretation  thereof 
before  the  king. 

37  Thou.  O  king,  art  a  king  of 
kings:  for  the  God  of  heaven  hath 


389 


given  thee  a  kingdom,  power,  and 
strength,  and  glory- 

38  And  wheresoever  the  chil- 
dren of  men  dwell,  the  heasls  of 
the  field  and  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven  hath  he  given  into  thine 
hand,  and  hath  made  thee  ruler 
over  them  all.  Thou  art  this  head 
of  gold. 

39  And  after  thee  shall  arise 
another  kingdom  inferior  to  thee. 
and  another  third  kingdom  oi 
brass,  which  shall  bear  rule  over 
all  the  earth. 

40  And  the  fourth  kingdom  shall 
be  strong  as  iron:  forasmuch  as 
iron  breaketh  in  pieces  and  sub- 
dueth  all  things:  and  as  iron  that 
breaketh  all  these,  shall  it  break 
in  pieces  and  bruise. 

41  And  whereas  thou  .sawestthe 
feet  and  toes,  part  of  the  potters' 
clay,  and  part  of  iron,  the  king- 
dom shall  be  divided;  but  there 
shall  be  in  it  of  the  strength  of  the 
iron, forasmuch  as  thou  sawest  the 
iron  mixed  with  miry  clay. 

42  And  as  the  toes  of  the  feet 
were  part  of  iron,  and  part  of  clay, 
so  the  kingdom  shall  l>e  partly 
strong,  and  partly  broken. 

43  And  whereas  thou  sawest  iron 
mixed  with  miry  clay,  they  shall 
mingle  themselves  with  the  seed 
of  men:  but  they  shall  not  cleave 
one  to  another,  even  as  ii'on  is  not 
mixed  with  clay. 

44  And  in  the  days  of  these 
kings  shall  the  God  of  heaven  set 
up  a  kingdom,  which  shall  never 
be  destroyed:  and  the  kingdom 
shall  not  be  left  to  otlier  people, 
but  it  shall  break  in  pieces  and 
consume  all  these  kingdoms,  and 
it  shall  stand  for  ever. 

45  Forasmuch  as  thou  sawest 
that  the  stone  was  cut  out  of  the 
mountain  without  hands,  and  that 
it  brake  in  pieces  the  iron,  the 
brass,  the  clay,  the  silver,  and  the 
gold;  the  great  Ciod  hath  made 
known  to  the  king  what  shall 
come  to  pass  hereafter:  and  the 
dream  is  certain,  and  the  inter- 
pretatioii  thereof  sure. 

46  Then  king  Nebuchadnezzar 
fell  upon  his  face,  and  worshipped 
Daniel. 

48  And  the  king  made  Daniel  a 
great  man,  and  gave  him  many 
great  gifts,  and  made  him  ruler 
over  the  whole  province  of  Bab- 
ylon, and  chief  of  the  governors 
over  all  the  wise  men  of  Babylon. 


Da.  4—18  This  dream  I  king 
Nebuchadnezzar  have  seen.  Now 
thou,  O  Belteshazzar,  declare  the 
interpretation  thereof,  forasmuch 
as  ail  the  wise  men  of  mv  kmg- 
dom  are  not  able  to  make  known 
unto  me  the  interpretation:  but 
thou  art  able ;  for  the  spirit  of  the 
holy  gods  is  in  thee. 

19  H  Then  Daniel,  whose  name 
was  Belteshazzer,  was  astonied 
for  one  hour,  and  his  thoughts 
troubled  him.  The  king  spake, 
and  said,  Belteshazzar,  let  not  the 
dream,  or  the  interpretation  there- 
of,  trouble  thee.  Belteshazzar  an- 
swered and  said.  My  lord,  the 
dream  be  to  them  that  hate  thee, 
and  the  intei-pretatiou  thereof  to 
thine  enemies. 

20  The  tree  that  thou  sawest, 
which  grew,  and  was  strong, 
whose  height  reached  imto  the 
heaven,  and  the  sight  thereof  to 
all  the  earth ; 

21  Whose  leaves  were  fair,  and 
the  fruit  thereof  much,  and  in  it 
was  meat  for  all ;  under  which  the 
beasts  of  the  held  dwelt,  and  upon 
whose  branches  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven  had  their  habitation: 

22  It  is  thou,  O  king,  that  art 
grown  and  become  strong :  for  thy 
greatness  is  grown,  and  reachetn 
mito  heaven,  and  thy  dominion 
to  the  end  of  the  earth. 

23  And  whereas  the  king  saw  a 
watcher  and  a  holy  one  coming 
down  from  heaven,  and  saying. 
Hew  the  tree  down,  and  destroy 
it;  yet  leave  the  stump  of  the 
roots  thereof  ui  the  earth,  even 
with  a  band  of  iron  and  brass,  in 
the  tender  grass  of  the  field ;  and 
let  it  be  wet  with  the  dew  of 
heaven,  and  let  his  portion  be 
with  the  beasts  of  the  field,  till 
seven  times  pass  over  him ; 

24  This  is  the  interpretation,  O 
king,  and  this  is  the  decree  of  the 
Most  High,  which  is  come  upon 
my  lord  the  king : 

25  That  they  shall  drive  thee 
from  men,  and  thy  dwelling  shall 
be  with  the  beasts  of  the  field,  and 
they  shall  make  thee  to  eat  grass 
as  oxen,  and  they  shall  wet  thee 
with  tlie  dew  of  heaven,  and  seven 
times  shall  pass  over  thee,  till  thou 
know  that  the  Most  High  ruleth 
in  the  kingdom  of  men,  and  giv- 
eth  it  to  wliomsoever  he  will. 

26  And  whereas  they  command- 
ed to  leave  the  stump  of  the  tree 


390 


roots;  thy  kingrdom  shall  be  sure 
unto  thee,  after  that  thou  shalt 
have  known  that  the  heavens  do 
rule. 

•27  Wherefore,  O  king,  let  my 
counsel  be  acceptable  unto  thee, 
and  break  ofif  thy  sins  by  right- 
eousness, and  thine  iniquities  by 
shewing  mercy  to  the  poor;  if  it 
may  be  a  lengthening  of  thy  tran- 
quillity. 

28  All  this  came  upon  the  king 
Nebuchadnezzar. 

29  At  the  end  of  twelve  mouths 
he  walked  in  the  palace  of  the 
kingdom  of  Babylon. 

30  The  king  spake,  and  said,  Is 
not  this  great  Babylon,  that  I  have 
built  for  the  house  of  the  kingdom 
by  the  might  of  my  power,  and 
for  the  honour  of  my  majesty? 

31  While  the  word  was  in  the 
king's  mouth,  there  fell  a  voice 
from  heaven,  saying,  O  king  Neb- 
uchadnezzar, to  thee  it  is  spoken ; 
The  kingdom  is  departed  from 
thee. 

32  And  they  shall  drive'  thee 
from  men,  and  thy  dwelling  shall 
be  with  the  beasts  of  the  tield: 
they  shall  make  thee  to  eat  grass 
as  oxen,  and  seven  times  shall 
pass  over  thee,  ujitil  thou  know 
that  the  Most  High  ruleth  in  the 
kingdom  of  men,  and  giveth  it  to 
whomsoever  he  will. 

33  The  same  hour  was  the  thing 
fulfilled  tipon  Nebuchadnezzar: 
and  he  was  driven  from  men,  and 
did  eat  grass  as  oxen,  and  his 
body  was  wet  with  the  dew  of 
heaven,  till  his  hairs  were  grown 
like  eagles'  feathers,  and  his  nails 
like  birds'  claws. 

34  And  at  the  end  of  the  days 
I  Nebuchadnezzar  lifted  up  mine 
eyes  unto  heaven,  and  mine  un- 
derstanding returned  unto  me, 
and  I  blessed  the  Most  High,  and 
I  praised  and  honoured  him  that 
liveth  for  ever,  whose  dominion 
is  an  everlasting  dominion,  and 
his  kingdom  is  from  generation  to 
generation : 

3.5  Andalltheinhabitantsof  the 
earth  are  reputed  as  nothing:  and 
hedoeth  according  to  his  will  in 
the  araiy  of  heaven,  and  among 
the  inhaoitants  of  the  earth:  and 
none  can  stay  his  hand,  or  say  un- 
to him.  What  doest  thou? 

36  At  the  same  time  my  reason 
returned  unto  me;  and  for  the 
glory  of  my  kingdom,  mine  hon- 
our and  brightness  returned  unto 


me ;  and  my  counsellors  and  my 
lords  sought  unto  me ;  and  I  was 
established  in  ,my  kingdom,  and 
excellent  majesty  was  added  unto 
me. 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S  GOL- 
DEN IMAGE. 

The  Fiery  Furnace. 

Da.  3—1  Nebuchadnezzar  the 
king  made  an  image  of  gold, 
whose  height  was  threesc'ore  cu- 
bits, and  the  breadth  thereof  six 
cubits:  he  set  it  up  in  tlie  plain  of 
Dura,  in  the  province  of  Babylon. 

2ThenNebuchaduezzarthe  king 
sent  togather  together  the  princes, 
tlie  governors,  and  the  captains, 
the  judges,  the  treasurers,  the 
counsellors,  the  sheriffs,  and  all 
the  rulers  of  the  provmces,  to 
come  to  the  dedication  of  the 
image  which  Nebuchadnezzar 
the  king  had  set  up. 

4  Then  a  herald  cried  aloud.  To 
you  it  is  commanded,  O  people, 
nations,  and  languages, 

5  That  at  what  time  ye  hear  the 
sound  of  the  cornet,  tiute,  harp, 
sackbut,  psaltery,  dulcimer,  and 
all  kinds  of  music,  ye  fall  down 
and  worship  the  golden  image 
that  Nebuchadnezzar  the  king 
hath  set  up: 

6  And  whoso  falleth  not  down 
and  worshippeth  shall  the  same 
hour  be  cast  into  the  midst  of  a 
burning  fiery  furnace. 

8  Wherefore  at  that  time  cer- 
tain Chaldeans  came  near,  and 
accused  the  Jews. 

9  They  spake  and  said  to  the 
king  Nebuchadnezzar,  O  king, 
live  for  ever. 

12  There  are  certain  Jews  "whom 
thou  hast  set  over  the  affairs  of 
the  provinceof  Baby  Ion,  Shadrach, 
Mesnach,  and  Abed-nego;  these 
men,  O  king,  have  not  regarded 
thee:  they  serve  not  thy  gods, 
nor  worship  the  golden  image 
which  thou  hast  set  up. 

19  Then  was  Nebuchadnezzar 
full  of  fury,  and  the  form  of  his 
visage  was  changed  against  Sha- 
drach, Mesdach,  and  Abed-nego: 
therefore  he  spake,  and  command- 
ed that  they  should  heat  the  fur- 
nace one  seven  times  more  than 
it  was  wont  to  be  heated. 

20  And  he  commanded  the  most 
mighty  men  that  were  in  his  army 
to  biTid  Shadrach,  Meshach,  and 


391 


Abed-nego,  and  to  cast  them  into 
the  burning  fiery  furnace. 

21  Then  these  men  were  boimd 
in  their  coats,  their  hosen.  and 
their  hats,  and  their  other  gar- 
ments, and  were  cast  into  the 
midst  of  the  burning  fiery  furnace. 

22  Therefore  because  the  kmg  s 
commandment  was  urgent,  and 
the  furnace  exceeding  hot,  the 
flame  of  the  fire  slew  those  men 
that  took  up  Shadrach,  Meshach, 
and  Abed-nego. 

23  And  these  three  men,  bha- 
drach,  Meshach,  and  Abed-nego, 
fell  down  bound  into  the  midst  oi 
the  burning  fiery  furnace. 

24  Then  Nebuchadnezzar  the 
king  was  astonied.  and  rose  up 
in  haste,  and  spake,  and  said  unto 
his  counsellors,  Did  not  we  cast 
three  men  bound  into  the  midst 
of  the  fire?  They  answered  and 
said  unto  the  king.  True,  O  kmg. 

25  He  answered  and  said.  Lo,  1 
see  four  men  loose,  walking  m  the 
midst  of  the  fire,  and  they  have 
no  hurt;  and  the  form  of  the 
fourth  is  like  the  Son  oi  God. 

26  Then  Nebuchadnezzar  came 
near  to  the  mouth  of  the  burmug 
fiery  furnace,  and  spake,  and  said. 
Shadrack,  Meshach,  and  Abed- 
nego,  ye  servants  of  the  most  high 
God,  come  forth,  and  come  hitlier. 
Then  Shadrach.  Meshach.  and 
Abed-nego,  came  forth  of  the 
midst  of  the  fire. 

27  And  the  princes,  governors, 
and  captains,  and  the  king's  coun- 
sellors, being  gathered  together, 
saw  these  men,  upon  whose  bodies 
the  fire  had  no  power,  nor  was  a 
hair  of  their  head  singed,  neither 
were  their  coats  changed,  nor  the 
smell  of  fire  had  passed  on  them. 

30  Then  the  king  promoted  Sha- 
drach, Meshach.  and  Abed-nego, 
in  the  province  of  Babylon. 

BELSHAZZAR'S  FEAST. 

Handwriting  on  the  Wall. 


Da.  5—1  Belsliazzar  the  kmg 
made  a  great  feast  to  a  thousand 
of  his  lords,  and  drank  wine  be- 
fore the  thousand. 

2  Belchazzar.  while  he  tasted 
the  wine,  commanded  to  bring  the 
golden  and  silver  vessels  which 
his  father  Nebuchadnezzar  had 
taken  out  of  the  temple  which 
was  in  Jerusalem;  tliat  the  king 


and  his  princes,  his  wives  and  his 
concubines,  might  drink  therem. 

3  Then  they  brought  the  golden 
vessels  that  were  taken  out  of  the 
temple  of  the  house  of  God  which 
was  at  Jerusalem ;  and  the  king 
and  his  princes,  his  wives  and  his 
concubines,  drank  in  them. 

4  They  drank  wine,  and  praised 
the  gods  of  gold,  and  of  silver,  of 
brass,  of  iron,  of  wood,  andof  stone. 

5  H  In  the  same  hour  came  forth 
fingers  of  a  man's  hand,  and  wrote 
over  against  the  candlestick  upon 
the  plaster  of  the  wall  of  the 
king's  palace:  and  the  king  saw 
the  part  of  the  hand  that  wrote. 

6  Then  the  king's  countenance 
was  changed,  and  his  thoughts 
troubled  him.  so  that  the  joints 
of  his  loins  were  loosed,  and  his 
knees  smote  one  against  another. 

7  The  king  cried  aloud  to  bring 
in  the  astrologers,  the  Chaldeans, 
and  the  soothsayers.  And  the 
king  spake,  and  said  to  the  wise 
men  of  Babylon.  Whosoever  shall 
read  this  writing,  and  shew  me 
the  interpretation  thereof,  shall 
be  clothed  with  scarlet,  and  have 
a  chain  of  gold  about  his  neck, 
and  shall  be  the  third  ruler  m  the 
kingdom.  .  , 

8  Then  came  m  all  the  kings 
wise  men :  but  they  could  not  read 
the  writmg.  nor  make  known  to 
the  king  the  interpretation  there- 

17  Then  Daniel  answered  and 
said  before  the  king.  Let  thy  gifts 
be  to  thyself,  and  give  thy  re- 
wards to  another ;  yet  I  will  read 
the  writing  unto  the  kmg,  and 
make  known  to  him  the  interpre- 
tation, .  .  .       ^,    ^ 

25  And  this  is  the  writing  that 
was  written,  MENE,  MENE,TE- 
KEL,  UPHARSIN. 

26  This  is  the  interpretation  of 
the  thing:  MENE;  God  hath 
numbered  thy  kingdom,  and  fin- 
ished it.  .  ,  > 
.  27  TEKEL;  Thou  art  weighed 
in  the  balances,  and  art  found 
wanting.  . 

28  PERES;  Thy  kingdom  is  di- 
vided, and  given  to  the  Modes 
and  Persians, 

29  Then  commanded  Belshaz- 
zar,  and  they  clothed  Daniel  with 
scarlet,  and  put  a  chain  of  gold 
about  his  neck,  and  made  a  proc- 
lamation concerning  him,  that 
he  should  be  the  third  ruler  in 
the  kingdom. 


392 


30  tin  thatnight  was  Belshazzar 
the  king  of  the  Chaldeans  slain. 

31  And  Darius  the  Median  took 
the  kingdom,  being  about  three- 
score and  two  years  old. 

DANIEL  IN  THE  LION'S  DEN. 

Da.  6—1  It  pleased  Darius  to  set 
over  the  kingdom  a  hundred  and 
twenty  princes,  which  should  be 
over  the  whole  kingdom ; 

2  And  over  these  three  presi- 
dents; of  whom  Daniel  was  tirst: 
that  the  princes  might  give  ac- 
counts unto  them,  and  the  king 
should  have  no  damage. 

3  Then  this  Daniel  was  preferred 
above  the  presidents  and  princes, 
because  an  excellent  spirit  was  in 
him;  and  the  king  thought  to  set 
him  over  the  whole  realm. 

4  H  Then  the  presidents  and 
princes  sought  to  find  occasion 
against  Daniel  concerning  the 
kmgdom;  but  they  could  find 
none  occasion  nor  fault;  foras- 
much as  he  was  faithful,  neither 
was  there  any  error  or  fault  found 
in  him. 

5  Then  said  these  men,  We  shall 
not  find  any  occasion  against  this 
Daniel,  except  we  find  it  against 
him  concerning  the  law  of  his 
God. 

6  Then  these  presidents  and 
princes  assembled  together  to  the 
king,  and  said  thus  unto  him. 
King  Darius,  live  for  ever. 

7  All  the  presidents  of  the  king- 
dom, the  governors,  and  the 
princes,  the  counsellors,  and  the 
captains,  have  consulted  together 
to  establish  a  royal  statute,  and  to 
make  a  firm  decree,  that  whoso- 
ever shall  ask  a  petition  of  any 
God  or  man  for  thirty  days,  save 
of  thee,  O  king,  he  shall  be  cast 
into  the  den  of  lions. 

8  Now,  O  king,  establish  the  de- 
cree, and  sign  the  writing,  that  it 
be  not  changed,  according  to  the 
law  of  the  Medes  and  Persians, 
which  altereth  not. 

9  Wherefore  king  Darius  signed 
the  writing  and  the  decree. 

10  IT  Now  when  Daniel  knew  that 
the  writing  was  signed,  he  went 
into  his  house ;  and,  his  windows 
being  open  in  his  chamber  toward 
Jerusalem,  he  kneeled  upon  his 
knees  three  times  a  day,  and 
prayed,  and  gave  thanks  before 
his  God,  as  he  did  aforetime. 


11  Then  these  men  assembled, 
and  found  Daniel  praying  and 
making  supplication  before  his 
God. 

12  Then  they  came  near,  and 
spake  before  the  king  concern- 
ing the  king's  decree ;  Hast  thou 
not  signed  a  decree,  that  every 
man  that  shall  ask  a  petition  of 
any  God  or  man  within  thirty 
days,  save  of  thee,'0  king,  shall 
be  cast  into  the  den  of  lions? 
The  king  answered  and  said.  The 
thing  is  true,  according  to  the  law 
of  the  Medes  and  Persians,  which 
altereth  not. 

13  Then  answered  they  and  said 
before  the  king,  That  Daniel, 
which  is  of  the  children  of  the 
captivity  of  Judah,  regardeth  not 
thee,  O  king,  nor  the  decree  that 
thou  hast  signed,  but  maketh  his 
petition  three  times  a  day. 

14  Then  the  king,  when  he  heard 
these  words,  was  sore  displeased 
with  himself,  and  set  his  heart  on 
Daniel  to  deliver  him:  and  he  la- 
boured till  the  going  down  of  the 
sun  to  deliver  him. 

15  Then  these  men  assembled 
unto  the  king,  and  said  unto  the 
king.  Know,  O  king,  that  the  law 
of  the  Medes  and  Persians  is.  That 
no  decree  nor  statute  which  the 
kingestablishethmaybechanged. 

16  Then  the  king  commanded, 
and  they  brought  Daniel,  and  cast 
him  into  the  den  of  lions.  Now 
the  king  spake  and  said  unto  Dan- 
iel, Thy  God  whom  thou  servest 
continually,  he  will  deliver  thee. 

17  And  a  stone  was  brought, 
and  laid  upon  the  mouth  of  the 
den ;  and  the  king  sealed  it  with 
his  own  signet,  and  with  the  sig- 
net of  his  lords;  that  the  purpose 
might  not  be  changed  concerning 
Daniel. 

18  H  Then  the  king  went  to  his 
palace,  and  passed  tlie  night  fast- 
mg:  neither  were  instruments  of 
music  brought  before  him:  and 
his  sleep  went  from  him. 

19  Then  the  king  arose  very 
early  in  the  morning,  and  went,  in 
haste  unto  the  den  of  lions. 

20  And  when  he  came  to  the  den, 
he  cried  with  a  lamentable  voice 
unto  Daniel:  and  the  kingspakev 
and  said  to  Daniel,  O  Daniel,  serv- 
ant of  the  living  God,  is  thy  God, 
whom  thou  servest  continually, 
able  to  deliver  thee  from  the 
lions? 


393 


21  Then  said  Dahiel  unto  the 
king,  O  kintr,  live  for  ever. 

22  My  Goaf  hath  sent  his  angel, 
and  hath  shut  the  lions'  mouths, 
that  they  have  not  hurt  me :  for- 
asmuch as  hefore  him  innocency 
was  found  in  me ;  and  also  before 
thee,  O  king,  have  I  done  no  hurt. 

23  Then  was  the  king  exceeding 
glad  for  him.andcomniaudedthat 
they  should  take  Daniel  up  out  of 
the  den.  So  Daniel  was  taken  up 
out  of  the  den,  and  no  manner  of 
hurt  was  found  upon  him,  because 
he  believed  in  his  God. 

24  IF  And  the  king  commanded, 
and  they  brought  those  men 
which  had  accused  Daniel,  and 
they  cast  them  into  the  den  of 
lions,  them,  their  children,  and 
their  wives;  and  the  lions  had  the 
mastery  of  them,  and  brake  all 
their  bones  in  pieces  or  ever  they 
came  at  the  bottom  of  the  den. 

25  H  Then  king  Darius  wrote 
unto  all  people,  nations,  and  lan- 
guages,that  dwell  inallthe  earth ; 
Peace  be  multiplied  unto  you. 

26  I  make  a  decree.  That  in 
every  dominion  of  my  kingdom 
men  tremble  and  fear  before  the 
God  of  Daniel :  for  he  is  the  living 
God,  and  steadfast  for  ever,  and 
his  kingdom  that  which  shall  not 
be  destroyed,  and  his  dominion 
shall  be  even  unto  the  end. 

27  He  delivereth  and  rescueth, 
and  he  worketh  signs  and  won- 
ders in  heaven  and  in  earth,  who 
hath  delivered  Daniel  from  the 
power  of  the  lions. 

28  So  this  Daniel  prospered  in 
the  reign  of  Darius,  and  in  the 
reign  of  Cyrus  the  Persian. 

Daniel's  vision  of  the  four  beasts. 

Da.  7—1  In  the  first  year  of  Bei- 
shazzar  king  of  Babylon,  Daniel 
had  a  dream  and  visions  of  his 
head  upon  his  bed :  then  he  wrote 
the  dream,  and  told  the  sum  of 
the  matters. 

2  Daniel  spake  and  said,  I  saw  in 
my  vision  by  night,  and,  behold, 
the  four  winds  of  the  heaven 
strove  upon  the  great  sea. 

3  And  four  great  beasts  came  up 
from  the  sea,  diverse  one  from 
another. 

4  The  first  was  like  a  lion,  and 
had  eagle's  wings:  I  beheld  till 
the  wings  thereof  were  plucked, 
and  it  was  lifted  up  from  the 
earth,  and  made  stand  upon  the 


feet  as  a  man,  and  a  man's  heart 
was  given  to  it. 

5  And  behold  another  beast, 
like  to  a  bear,  and  it  raised  up 
itself  on  one  side,  and  it  had 
three  ribs  m  the  mouth  of  it  be- 
tween the  teeth:  and  they  said 
thus  unto  it.  Arise,  devoux  much 
desh. 

6  After  this  I  beheld  another, 
like  a  leopard,  which  had  upon 
the  back  of  it  foui-  wings  of  a  fowl ; 
the  beast  had  also  tour  heads; 
and  dominion  was  given  to  it. 

7  After  this  I  saw  a  fourth  beast, 
dreadful,  terrible,  and  strong  ex- 
ceedingly •  and  it  had  great  iron 
teeth:  it  devoured  and  brake  in 
pieces,  and  stamped  the  residue 
with  the  feet  of  it:  and  it  was  di- 
verse from  all  the  beasts  that  were 
before  it ;  and  it  had  ten  bonis. 

8 1  considered  the  horns,  and,  be- 
hold, there  came  up  among  them 
another  little  horn,  before  whom 
there  were  three  of  the  first  horns 
plucked  up  by  the  roots:  and,  be- 
hold, in  this  liorn  were  eyes  like 
the  eyes  of  man,  and  a  mouth 
speaking  great  things.  Vrs.  9, 10, 
p.  17. 

11  I  beheld  then,  because  of  the 
voiceof  the  great  words  which  the 
horn  spake :  even  till  the  beast  was 
slain,  and  his  body  destroyed,  and 
given  to  the  burning  flame. 

12  As  concerning  the  rest  of  the 
beasts,  they  had  their  dominion 
taken  aM'ay ;  yet  their  lives  were 
prolonged  for  a  season  and  time. 

13  1  saw  in  the  night  visions,  one 
like  the  Son  of  man  came  with 
the  clouds  of  heaven,  and  came 
to  the  Ancient  of  days,  and  they 
brought  him  near  before  him.  Vrs. 
14,  p.  143. 

15  I  Daniel  was  grieved  in  my 
spirit,  and  the  visions  of  my  head 
troubled  me. 

IG  I  came  near  unto  one  of  them 
that  stood  by,  and  asked  him  the 
truth  of  all  this.    So  he  told  nie. 

17  These  great  beasts,  which  are 
four,  are  four  kings,  which  shall 
arise  out  of  the  earth.  "" 

18  But  the  saints  of  the  Most 
High  shall  take,  and  possess  the 
kingdom  forever. 

19  Then  I  would  know  the  truth 
of  the  fourth  beast,  which  was  di- 
verse from  all  the  others,  exceed- 
ing dreadful,  whose  teeth  were  of 
iron,  and  his  nails  of  brass; 

20  And  of  the  ten   liorns  that 
i  were  in  his  head,  and  even  of  th;i  t 


394 


"horn  that  had  eyes,  and  a  mouth 
that  spake  very  great  things. 

21  I  Deheld,  and  the  same  horn 
made  war  with  the  saints,  and 
prevailed  against  them ; 

22  Until  the  Ancient  of  days 
came,  and  judgment  was  given 
to  the  saints  of  the  Most  High ; 
and  the  time  came  that  the  saints 
possessed  the  kingdom. 

23  Thus  he  said,  The  fourth  heast 
shall  be  the  fourth  kingdom  upon 
earth,  which  shall  be  diverse  from 
all  kingdoms,  and  shall  devour 
the  whole  earth,  and  shall  tread 
it  down,  and  break  it  in  pieces. 

24  And  the  ten  horns  out  of  this 
kingdom  are  ten  kings  that  shall 
arise:  and  another  shall  rise  after 
them:  and  he  shall  be  diverse 
from  the  first,  and  he  shall  sub- 
due three  kings. 

25  And  heshall  speak  great  words 
against  the  Most  High,  and  shall 
wear  out  the  saints  oi  the  Most 
High,  and  think  to  change  times 
and  laws:  and  they  shall  be  given 
into  his  hand  until  a  time  and 
times  and  the  dividing  of  time. 

26  But  the  judgment  shall  sit, 
and  they  shall  take  away  his  do- 
minion, to  consume  and  to  destroy 
it  unto  the  end. 

27  And  the  kingdom  and  domin- 
ion, and  the  greatness  of  the  king- 
dom under  the  whole  heaven  shall 
be  given  to  the  people  of  the  saints 
of  the  Most  High,  whose  kingdom 
is  an  everlastmg  kingdom,  and 
all  dominions  shall  serve  and 
obey  him. 

28  Hitherto  is  the  end  of  the 
matter.  As  for  me  Daniel,  my 
cogitationsmuch  troubled  me,  and 
my  countenance  changed  in  me: 
but  I  kept  the  matter  in  my  heart. 

Daniel's  vision  of  the  ram  and 
he  goat.  The  2,300  days  of  sacri- 
fice. 

Da.  8—1  In  the  third  year  of  the 
reign  of  king  Belshazzar  a  vision 
appeared  unto  me,  even  unto  me 
Daniel,  after  that  which  appeared 
unto  me  at  the  tirst. 

2  And  I  saw  in  a  vision ;  and  it 
came  to  pass,  when  I  saw,  that  I 
was  at  Shushan  in  the  palace, 
which  is  in  the  province  of  Elam ; 
and  I  saw  in  a  vision,  and  I  was 
by  the  river  of  Ulai. 

3  Then  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  and 
saw,  and,  behold,  there  stood  be- 


fore the  river  a  ramwhich  had  two 
horns:  and  the  two  horns  were 
high ;  but  one  was  higher  than  the 
other,  and  the  higher  came  up  last. 

4  I  saw  the  ram  pushing  west- 
ward, and  northward,  and  south- 
ward; so  that  no  beasts  might 
stand  before  him,  neither  was 
there  any  that  could  deliver  out 
of  his  hand ;  but  he  did  according 
to  his  will,  and  became  great. 

5  And  as  1  was  considering,  be- 
hold, a  he  goat  came  from  the 
west  on  the  face  of  the  whole 
earth,  and  touched  not  the 
ground:  and  the  goat  had  a 
notable  honi  between  his  eyes. 

6  And  he  came  to  the  ram  that 
had  two  horns,  which  I  had  seen 
standing  before  the  river,  and  ran 
unto  him  in  the  fury  of  his  power. 

7  And  I  saw  him  come  close  unto 
the  ram,  and  he  was  moved  with 
choler  against  him,  and  smote  the 
ram,  and  brake  his  two  horns: 
and  there  was  no  power  in  the 
ram  to  stand  before  him,  but  he 
cast  him  down  to  the  ground,  and 
.stamped  upon  him:  and  there  was 
none  that  could  deliver  the  ram 
out  of  his  hand. 

8  Therefore  the  he  goat  waxed 
very  great:  and  when  he  was 
strong,  the  great  horn  was  brok- 
en; and  for  it  came  up  four 
notable  ones  toward  the  four 
winds  of  heaven. 

9  And  out  of  one  of  them  came 
forth  a  little  horn,  which  waxed 
exceedmg  great,  toward  the 
south,  and  toward  the  east,  and 
toward  the  pleasant  land. 

10  And  it  waxed  great,  even  to 
the  host  of  heaven;  and  it  cast 
down  some  of  the  host  and  of  the 
stars  to  the  ground,  and  stamped 
upon  them. 

11  Yea,  he  magnified  him.self 
even  to  the  prince  of  the  host, 
and  by  him  the  daily  sacrifice 
was  taken  away,  and  the  place  of 
his  sanctuary  was  cast  down. 

12  And  a  host  was  given  him 
against  the  daily  sacrifice  by  rea- 
son of  transgression,  and  it  cast 
down  the  truth  to  the  ground; 
and  it  practised,  and  prospered. 

13  IT  Then  I  heard  one  saint 
speaking,  and  another  saint  said 
unto  that  certain  saint  which 
spake.  How  long  shall  be  the  vis- 
ion concerning  the  daily  sacrifice, 
and  the  transgression  of  desola- 
tion, to  give  both  the  sanctuary 


and  the  host  to  be  trodden  under 

lOOl  c 

14  And  he  said  unto  me.  Unto 
two  thousand  and  three  hundred 
days;  then  shall  the  sanctuary  be 
cleansed. 

15  IF  And  it.  came  to  pass,  when 
i.even  1  Daniel,  had  seen  the  vis- 
ion, and  sought  for  the  meaning, 
then,  behold,  there  stood  before 
nie  as  the  appearance  of  a 
man. 

16  And  I  heard  a  man's  voice 
between  the  banks  of  Ulai,  which 
called,  and  said,  Gabriel,  make 
tins  man  to  understand  the  vision. 

17  feo  he  came  near  where  1 
stood:  and  when  he  came,  I  was 
atraul,  and  fell  upon  my  face: 
but  he  said  unto  me.  Understand, 

0  son  of  man:  for  at  the  time  of 
the  end  shall  be  the  vision. 

18  Now  as  he  was  speaking  with 
nie.  I  was  m  a  deep  sleep  on  my 
face  toward  the  gromid:  but  he 
touched  me,  and  set  me  up- 
right. ^ 

19  And  he  said.  Behold,  I  will 
make  thee  know  what  shall  be  in 
the  last  end  of  the  indignation : 

1  ^^i^^  *™®  appointed  the  end 
shall  be. 

20  The  ram  which  thou  sawest 

^i^XF§-*^o  *ioi""s  are  tlie  kings 
of  Media  and  Persia. 

21  And  the  rough  goat  is  the 
king  of  Grecia:  and  the  great 
horn  that  is  between  his  eyes  is 
the  hrst  king. 

22  Now  that  being  broken, 
whereas  four  stood  up  for  it,  four 
kingdoms  shall  stand  up  out  of 
the  nation,  but  not  in  his  power 

23  And  m  the  latter  time  of  their 
kingdom,  when  the  transgressors 
are  come  to  the  full,  a  king  of 
nerce.  countenance,  and  under- 
standing dark  sentences,  shall 
stand  up. 

24  And  his  power  shall  be 
mighty,  but  not  by  his  own 
power:  and  he  shall  destroy  won- 
derfully, and  shall  prosper,  and 
practise,  and  shall  destroy  the 
mighty  and  the  holy  people. 

25  And  through  his  policy  he 
shall  cause  craft  to  prosper  in  his 
iiand;  and  he  shall  magnify  him- 


395 


u  ii^'i  '"^  heart,  and  by  peace 
shall  destroy  many :  he  shaU  also 
stand  up  agamst  the  Prince  of 
princes;  but  he  shall  be  broken. 
.  26  And  the  vision  of  the  even- 
ing and  the  morning  which  was 


told  is  true:  wherefore  shut  thou 
up  the  vision;  for  it  shall  be  for 
many  days. 

27  And  I  Daniel  fainted,  and 
was  sick  certain  days;  afterward 
1  rose  up.  and  did  the  kings  busi- 
ness; and  I  was  astonislied  at  the 
vision,  but  none  understood  it.

<.  ^?-S~i  And  the  Lord  spake  un- 
to Moses,  saving, 

2  Command  the  children  of  Is- 
rael, that  they  put  out  of  the 
camp  every  leper,  and  every  one 
that  hath  an  issue,  and  whoso- 
ever is  defiled  by  tlie  dead : 

3  Both  male  and  female  shall 
ye  put  out,  without  the  camp 
shall  ye  put  them;  that  they  de- 
hle  not  their  camps,  in  the  midst 
whereof  I  dwell. 

4  And  the  children  of  Israel  did 
so.  and  put  them  out  without  the 
camp. 

Le.  22—4  What  man  soever  of  the 
seed  of  Aaron  is  a  leper,  or  hath  a 
running  issue ;  he  shall  not  eat  of 
the  holy  things,  until  he  be 
clean. 

,  Ps-  105-37  .  He  brought  them 
lorth  also  with  silver  and  gold- 
and  there  was  not  one  feeble  per- 
son among  their  tribes.

Naaman,  captain  of  the  Syrian 
army,  cured  of  leprosy  by  Elisha. 

2  Ki.  5—1  Now  Naaman.  captain 
of  the  host  of  the  king  of  Syria, 
was  a  great  man  with  his  master, 


396 


and  honourable,  because  by  him 
the  Lord  had  given  deliverance 
unto  Syria:  he  was  also  a  mighty 
man  in  valour,  but  he  was  a  leper. 

2  And  the  Syrians  had  gone  out 
by  companies,  and  had  brought 
away  captive  out  of  the  land  of  Is- 
rael a  little  maid ;  and  she  waited 
on  Naaman's  wife. 

3  And  she  said  unto  her  mistress. 
Would  God  my  lord  were  with  the 
prophet  that  is  in  Samaria!  for  he 
would  recover  him  of  his  leprosy. 

4  And  one  went  in,  and  told  his 
lord,  saying.  Thus  and  thus  said 
the  maid  that  is  of  the  land  of 
Israel. 

5  And  the  king  of  Syria  said.  Go 
to,  go,  and  I  will  send  a  letter  unto 
the  king  of  Israel.  And  he  de- 
parted, and  took  with  him  ten 
talents  of  silver,  and  six  thousand 
pieces  of  gold,  and  ten  changes  of 
raiment. 

6  And  he  brought  the  letter  to 
the  king  of  Israel,  saying.  Now 
when  this  letter  is  come  unto  thee, 
behold, I  have  therewith  sent  Naa- 
man  my  servant  to  thee,  that  thou 
may  est  recover  him  of  his  leprosy. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
king  of  Israel  had  read  the  letter, 
that  he  rent  his  clothes,  and  said. 
Am  I  God,  to  kill  and  to  make 
alive,  that  this  man  doth  send 
unto  me  to  recover  a  man  of  his 
leprosy?  Wherefore  consider,  I 
pray  you,  and  see  how  he  seeketh 
a  quarrel  againt  me. 

8  IT  And  It  was  so,  when  Elisha 
the  man  of  God  had  heard  that  the 
king  of  Israel  had  rent  his  clothes, 
that  he  sent  to  the  king,  saying, 
Wherefore  hast  thou  rent  thy 
clothes?  let  him  come  now  to  me, 
and  he  shall  know  that  there  is  a 
prophet  in  Israel. 

9  So  Naamaii  came  with  his 
horses  and  with  his  chariot,  and 
stood  at  the  door  of  the  house  of 
Elisha. 

10  And  Elisha  sent  a  messenger 
unto  him,  saying.  Go  and  wash  in 
Jordan  seven  times,  and  thy  flesh 
sball  come  again  to  thee,  and  thou 
shalt  be  clean. 

11  But  Naaman  was  wroth,  and 
went  away,  and  said.  Behold,  I 
thought,  He  will  surely  come  out 
to  me.  and  stand,  and  call  on  the 
name  of  the  Lord  his  God,  and 
strike  his  hand  over  the  place, 
and  recover  the  leper. 

12  Are  not  Abana  and  Pharpar, 


rivers  of  Damascus,  better  than  al  I 
the  waters  of  Israel?  may  I  not 
wash  in  them,  and  be  clean?  So 
he  turned  and  went  away  inarage. 

13  And  his  servants  came  near, 
and  spake  unto  him,  and  said.  My 
father,  if  the  prophet  had  bid  thee 
dosome  great  thing,  wouldest  thou 
not  have  done  it  ?  how  much  rather 
then,  when  he  saith  to  thee,  Wash, 
and  be  clean? 

14  Then  he  went  down,  and  dip- 
ped himself  seven  timesin  Jordan, 
according  to  the  saying  of  the  man 
of  God:  and  his  flesh  came  again 
like  unto  the  flesh  of  a  little  child, 
and  he  was  clean. 

1.5  If  And  he  returned  to  the  man 
of  God,  he  and  all  his  company, 
and  came,  and  stood  before  him: 
and  he  said.  Behold,  now  I  know 
that  there  is  no  God  in  all  the 
earth,  but  in  Israel:  now  there- 
fore, 1  pray  thee,  take  a  blessing 
of  thy  servant. 

16  But  he  said,  As  the  Lord  liv- 
eth,  before  whom  I  stand,  I  will 
receive  none.  And  he  urged  him 
to  take  it ;  but  he  refused. 

17  And  Naaman  said.  Shall  there 
not  then,  1  pray  thee,  be  given  to 
thy  servant  two  mules'  burden  of 
earth?  for  thy  servant  will  hence- 
forth offer  neither  burnt  offering 
nor  sacrifice  unto  other  gods,  but 
unto  the  Lord. 

18  In  this  thing  the  Lord  pardon 
thy  servant,  that  when  my  master 
goeth  intothehouseof  Rimmonto 
worship  there,  and  he  leaneth  on 
my  hand,  and  I  bow  myself  in  the 
house  of  Rimmon:  when  I  bow 
down  myself  in  the  house  of  Rim- 
mon, the  Lord  pardon  thy  ser- 
vant in  this  thing. 

19  And  he  said  unto  him,  Go  in 
peace.  So  he  departed  from  him 
a  little  way. 

20  H  But  Gehazi,  the  servant  of 
Elisha  the  man  oi  God,  said,  Be- 
hold, my  master  hath  spared  Naa- 
man this  Syrian,  in  not  receiving 
at  his  hands  that  which  he 
brought :  but,  as  the  Lord  liveth, 
I  will  run,  after  him,  and  take 
somewhat  of  him. 

21  So  Gehazi  followed  after  Naa- 
man. And  when  Naamansaw him 
running  after  him,  he  lighted 
down  from  the  chariot  to  meet 
him,  and  said.  Is  all  well? 

22  And  he  said.  All  is  well.  My 
master  hath  sent  me,  saying,  Be- 
hold, even  now  there  be  come  to 


397 


me  from  mount  Ephraim  two 
young  men  of  the  sons  of  the 
prophets:  give  them,  I  pray  tliee, 
a  talent  of  silver,  and  two  changes 
of  garments. 

23  And  Naamansaid.Becovtent, 
take  two  talents.  And  he  urged 
him,  and  bound  two  talents  of  sil- 
ver ni  two  bags,  with  two  changes 
of  garments,  ajid  laid  them  upon 
two  of  his  servants ;  and  they  bare 
them  before  him. 

24  And  when  he  came  to  tlie 
tower,  lie  took  them  from  their 
hand,  and  bestowed  them  in  the 
liouse:  and  he  let  the  men  go,  and 
tliey  departed. 

25  Hut  he  went  in,  and  stood  be- 
fore his  master.  And  Elisha  said 
unto  liim.  Whence  comest  thou, 
Gehazi?  And  he  said,  Thy  serv- 
ant went  no  wliither. 

26  And  he  said  unto  him,  Went 
not'mineheart  with  thee,  when  the 
man  turned  again  from  his  chariot 
to  meet  thee?  Is  it  a  time  to  re- 
ceive money,  and  to  receive  gar- 
ments, and  oliveyards.  and  vino- 
yards,  and  sheep,  and  oxen, and 
menservants,  and  maidservants? 

27  The  leprosy  therefore  of  Naa- 
man  shall  cleave  unto  thee,  and 
unto  thy  .seed  for  ever.  And  he 
went  out  from  his  presence  a 
leper  as  white  as  sjiow. 

Lu.  4—27  And  many  lepers  were 
in  Israel  in  the  time  of  Eliseus 
the  prophet:  and  none  of  them 
was  cleansed,  saving  Naaman  the 
Syrian. 

Uzziah  the  leprous  king. 

In  2  Ki.  15. 1-7  you  will  find  an 
account  of  this  same  king  under 
the  name  of  Azariah. 

2  Clir.  26—16  But  when  Uzziah 
th«  king  was  strong,  his  heart  was 
lifted  up  to  his  destruction :  for  he 
traiKsgressed  against  the  Lord  his 
God,  and  went  into  the  temple  of 
the  Lord  to  burn  incense  upon 
the  altar  of  incense. 

17  And  Azariah  the  priest  went 
in  after  him,  and  with  him  four- 
score priests  of  the  Lord,  that 
were  valiant  men: 

18  And  they  withstood  Uzziah 
the  king,  and  said  unto  him.  It  ap- 
pertaiiieth  not  imto  thee,  Uzziah, 
to  Imru  incense untothe  Lord, but 
to  the  priests  the  sons  of  Aaron, 
that  are  consecrated  to  burn  in- 
cense: go  out  of  the  saiu'.tuary; 


for  thou  hast  trespassed ;  neither 
shall  it  be  for  thine  honour  from 
the  Lord  (iod. 

19  Then  Uzziah  was  wroth,  and 
had  a  censer  in  his  hand  to  burn 
incense:  and  while  he  was  wroth 
with  the  priests,  the  leprosy  even 
rose  up  in  his  forehead  oefore  the 
priests  in  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
from  beside  the  incense  altar. 

20  And  Azariah  the  chief  priest, 
and  all  the  priests,  looked  upon 
him,  and,  behold,  he  was  leprous 
in  his  forehead,  and  they  thrust 
him  out  from  thence;  yea,  him- 
self hasted  also  to  go  out,  because 
tlie  Lord  had  smitten  him. 

21  And  Uzziah  the  king  was  a 
leper  unto  the  day  of  his  death, 
and  dwelt  in  a  several  house. 

Cleansing  of  a  leper. 

Mar  1—40  And  there  came  a 
leper  to  him,  beseeching  him, 
and  kneeling  down  to  him,  and 
saying  unto  him,  If  thou  wilt, 
thou  canst  make  me  clean. 

41  And  Jesus,  moved  with  com- 
passion, put  forth  his  hand,  and 
touched  him,  and  saith  unto  him, 
I  will ;  be  thou  clean. 

42  And  as  soon  as  he  had  spoken, 
immediately  the  leprosy  departed 
from  him,  and  he  was  cleansed. 

43  And  he  straitly  charged  him, 
and  forthwith  .sent  him  away; 

44  And  saith  unto  him.  See  thou 
say  nothing  to  any  man:  but  go 
thy  way,shewthy.self  totlie  priest, 
and  offer  for  thy  cleansing  those 
things  which  Moses  commanded, 
for  a  testimony  unto  them. 

45  But  he  went  out,  and  began 
to  publish  it  much,  and  to  blaze 
abroad  the  matter,  in.somuch  that 
Jesus  could  lu)  more  openly  enter 
into  the  city,  but  was  without  in 
desert  places:  and  they  came  to 
him  from  every  quarter. 

Cleansing  of  ten  lepers. 

Lu.  17—12  And  as  he  entered  in- 
to a  certain  village,  there  met 
him  ten  men  that  were  lepers, 
which  stood  afar  off: 

13  And  they  lifted  up  their 
voices,  and  said.  Jesus,  Master, 
have  mercy  on  us. 

14  And  when  he  saw  them,  he 
.said  unto  them.  Go  shew  your- 
selves unto  the  priests.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  that,  iis  they  went, 
they  were  cleansed. 


398 


15  And  one  of  them,  when  he 
saw  that  he  was  healed,  turned 
back,  and  with  a  loud  voice  glori- 
fied God, 

16  And  fell  down  on  his  face  at 
his  feet,  giving  him  thanks:  and 
he  was  a  Samaritan. 

17  And  Jesus  answering  said. 
Were  there  not  ten  cleansed?  but 
where  are  the  nine? 

18  There  are  not  found  that  re- 
turned to  give  glory  to  God,  save 
this  stranger. 

19  And  he  said  unto  him,  Arise, 
go  thy  way :  thy  faith  hath  made 
thee. whole.  See  also  Ex.4. 6,  7,  p. 
151.  

Elijah  raised  the  widow's  son  to 
life.    See  also  1  Ki.  17.  8-16,  p.  83. 

1  Ki.  17—17  And  it  came  to  pass 
after  these  things,  that  the  son  of 
the  woman,  the  mistress  of  the 
house,  fell  sick;  and  his  sickness 
was  so  sore,  that  there  was  no 
breath  left  in  him. 

18  And  she  said  unto  Elijah, 
What  have  I  to  do  with  thee,  O 
thou  man  of  God?  art  thou  come 
unto  me  to  call  my  sin  to  remem- 
brance, and  to  slay  my  son? 

19  And  he  said  unto  her.  Give 
me  thy  son.  And  he  took  him  out 
of  her  bosom,  and  carried  him  up 
into  a  loft,  where  he  abode,  and 
laid  him  upon  his  own  bed. 

20  And  he  cried  unto  the  Lord, 
and  said,  O  Lord  my  God,  hast 
thou  also  brought  evil  upon  the 
widow  with  whom  I  sojourn,  by 
slaying  her  son? 

21  And  he  stretched  himself  up- 
on the  child  three  times,  and  cried 
unto  the  Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord 
my  God,  I  pray  thee,  let  this 
child's  soul  come  into  him  again. 

22  And  the  Lord  heard  the 
voice  of  Elijah;  and  the  soul  of 
the  child  came  into  him  again, 
and  he  i-evived. 

23  And  Elijah  took  the  child, 
and  brought  him  down  out  of  the 
chamber  into  the  house,  and  de- 
livered him  unto  hismother:  and 
Elijah  said,  See,  thy  son  liveth. 

24  And  the  woman  said  to  Eli- 
jali.  Now  by  this  I  know  that  thou 
art  a  man  of  God,  and  that  the 
word  of  the  Lord  in  thy  mouth  is 
truth. 


2  Ki.  4—8  And  it  fell  on  a  day, 
that  Elisha  passed  to  Shunem, 
where  was  a  great  woman;  and 
she  constrained  him  to  eat  bread. 
And  so  it  was,  that  as  oft  as  he 
passed  by,  he  turned  in  thither  to 
eat  bread. 

9  And  she  said  tmto  her  hus- 
band, Behold  now,  I  perceive  that 
this  is  a  holy  man  ot  God,  which 
passeth  by  us  continually. 

10  Let  us  make  a  little  chamber, 
I  pray  thee,  on  the  wall ;  and  let 
us  set  for  him  there  a  bed,  and  a 
table,  and  a  stool,  and  a  candle- 
stick: and  it  shall  be,  when  he 
cometh  to  us,  that  he  shall  turn 
in  thither. 

11  And  it  fell  on  a  day,  that  he 
came  thither,  and  he  turned  into 
the  chamber,  and  lay  there. 

12  And  he  said  to  Gehazi  his 
servant.  Call  this  Shunammite. 
And  when  he  had  called  her,  she 
stood  before  him. 

13  And  he  said  unto  him,  Say 
now  unto  her.  Behold,  thou  hast 
been  careful  for  us  with  all  this 
care ;  what  is  to  be  done  for  thee? 
wouldest  thou  be  spoken  for  to 
the  king,  or  to  the  captain  of  the 
host?    And  she  answered,  I  dwell 


among  mine  own

mite's  son  to  life. 


Shunam- 


be  done  for  her?  And  Gehazi  an- 
swered. Verily  she  hath  no  child, 
and  her  husband  is  old. 

15  And  he  said.  Call  her.  And 
when  he  had  called  her,  she  stood 
in  the  door. 

16  And  he  said.  About  this  sea- 
son, according  to  the  time  of  life, 
thou  shalt  embrace  a  son.  And 
she  said.  Nay,  my  lord,  thou  man 
of  God,  do  not  lie  imto  thine  hand- 
maid. 

17  And  the  woman  conceived, 
and  bare  a  son  at  that  season  that 
Elisha  had  said  rxnto  her,  accord- 
ing to  the  time  of  life. 

18  And  when  the  child  was 
grown,  it  fell  on  a  day,  that  he 
went  out  to  his  father  to  the 
reapers. 

19  And  he  .said  unto  his  father. 
My  head,  my  head !  And  he  said 
to  a  lad.  Carry  him  to  his  mother. 

20  And  when  he  had  taken  him 
to  his  mother,  he  sat  on  her  knees 
till  noon,  and  then  died. 

21  And  she  went  up,  and  laid 
him  on  the  bed  of  tne  man  of 
God,  and  shut  the  door  upon  him, 
and  went  out. 


399 


22  And  she  called  unto  her  hus- 
band, and  said,  Seud  nie,  1  pray 
thee,  one  of  the  young  men,  and 
one  of  the  asses,  that  1  may  run  to 
the  man  of  God,  and  come  agaui. 

23  And  he  said.  Wherefore  wilt 
thou  go  to  him  to  day?  it  is  nei- 
ther new  moon,  nor  sabbath.  And 
she  said.  It  shall  be  well. 

•24  Then  she  saddled  an  ass,  and 
said  to  her  servant,  Drive,  and  go 
forward ;  slack  not  thy  riding  f or 
me,  except  I  bid  thee. 

25  So  she  went  and  came  unto 
the  man  of  God  to  mount  Carmel. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  man 
of  God  saw  her  afar  off,  that  he 
said  to  Gehazi  his  servant.  Be- 
hold, yonder  is  that  Shunanimite: 

26  Run  now,  I  pray  thee,  to  meet 
her,  and  say  unto  her,  Is  it  well 
with  thee?  is  it  well  with  thy 
husband?  is  it  well  with  the 
child?  Andshe  answered.  It  is  well. 

27  And  when  she  came  to  the 
man  of  God  to  the  hill,  she  caught 
him  by  the  feet:  but  Gehazi  came 
near  to  thrust  her  away.  And  the 
man  of  God  said.  Let  her  alone; 
for  her  soul  is  vexed  within  her: 
and  the  Lord  hath  hid  it  from 
me,  and  hath  not  told  me. 

28  Then  she  said.  Did  I  desire  a 
son  of  my  lord?  did  I  not  say.  Do 
not  deceive  me? 

29  Then  he  said  to  Gehazi,  Gird 
up  thy  loins,  and  take  my  staff  in 
thine  hand,  and  go  thy  way:  if 
thou  meet  any  man,  salute  him 
not;  and  if  any  salute  thee, 
answer  him  not  again :  and  lay  my 
staff  upon  the  face  of  the  child. 

30  And  the  mother  of  the  child 
said.  As  the  Lord  liveth,  and  as 
thy  soul  liveth.  I  will  not  leave 
thee.  And  he  arose,  and  followed 
her. 

31  And  Gehazi  passed  on  before 
them,  and  laid  the  staff  upon  the 
face  of  the  child;  but  there  was 
neither  voice,  nor  hearing.  Where- 
fore he  went  again  to  meet  him, 
and  told  him,  saying.  The  child 
is  not  awaked. 

32  And  when  Elisha  was  come 
into  the  house,  behold,  the  child 
was  dead,  and  laid  upon  his  bed. 

33  He  went  in  therefore,  and 
shut  the  door  upon  them  twain. 
and  prayed  unto  the  Lord. 

34  And  he  went  up,  and  lay  upon 
the  child,  and  put  his  mouth  upon 
his  mouth,  and  his  eyes  upon  his 
eyes,  and  his  hands  upon  his 
hands:  and  he  stretched  himself 


upon  the  child'  and  the  flesh  of 
the  child  waxed  warm. 

35  Then  he  returned,  and  walked 
ui  the  house  to  and  fro,  and  went 
up,  and  stretched  himself  upon 
him:  and  the  child  sneezed  seven 
times,  and  opened  his  eyes. 

36  And  hecalled  Gehazi.  andsaid. 
Call  this  Shunanimite.  So  he 
called  her.  And  when  she  was 
come  in  unto  him,  he  said.  Take 
up  thy  son. 

37  Then  she  went  in,  and  fell  at 
his  feet,  and  bowed  herself  to  the 
ground,  and  took  up  her  son,  and 
went  out.    See  2  Ki.  4,  p.  83.

well ;  whose  branches  run  over

23  The  archers  have  sorely  griev- 
ed him,  and  shot  at  him,  and 
hated  him : 

24  But  hisbow  abode  in  strength, 
and  the  arms  of  his  hands  were 
made  strong  by  the  hands  of  the 
mighty  God  of  Jacob;  (from 
thence  is  the  shepherd,  the  stone

thee  with  blessings  of  heaven

26  The  blessings  of  thy  father 
have  prevailed  above  the  bless- 
ings of  my  progenitors  unto  the 
utmost  bound  of  the  everlasting 
hills:  they  shall  be  on  the  head  of 
Joseph,  and  on  the  crown  of  the 
head  of  him  that  was  separate 
from  his  brethren.

For  a  full  description  of  the 
tabernacle,  see  Ex.  25  to  27  and

Ex.  35—30  And  Moses  said  unto 
the  children  of  Israel,  See,  the 
Lord  hath  called  by  name  Beza-

31  And  he  hath  filled  him  with

32  And  to  devise  curious  wotks, 
to  work  in  gold,  and  in  silver,  and 
in  b'-ass, 

33  And  in  the  cutting  of  stones, 
to  set  them ,  and  in  carvingof  wood , 
to  make  any  manner  of  cunning 
work. 

M  And  he  hath  put  in  his  heart 
that  he  may  teacli,  both  he,  and 
Aholiab,  the  son  of  Ahisamach,  of 
the  tribe  of  Dan. 

35  Them  hath  he  filled  with  wis- 
dom of  heart,  to  work  all  manner 
of  work,  of  the  eugi-aver,  and  of 
the  cunning  workman,  and  of  the

and  of  tlie  weaver,  even  of  tliem 
that  do  any  work,  and  of  those 
that  devise  cunning  work. 

Ex.  38—22  And  Bezaleel,  of  the 
tribe  of  Judah,  made  all  that  the 
Lord  commanded  Moses. 

23  And  with  him  was  Aholiab,

THE  LAVER  OF  BRASS. 

Ex.  30—17  And  the  Lokd  spake 
unto  Moses,  saying, 

18  Thou  shalt  also  make  a  laver 
of  brass,  and  his  foot  also  of  brass, 
to  wash  withal:  and  thou  shalt 
put  it  between  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation  and  the  altar, 
and  thou  shalt  put  water  therein. 

19  For  Aaron  and  his  sons  shall 
wash  their  hands  and  their  feet 
thereat : 

20  When  they  go  into  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation,  thev 
shall  wash  with  water,  that  they 
die  not ;  or  when  they  come  near  to 
the  altar  to  mmister,  to  burn  offer- 
ing made  by  fire  unto  the  Lord: 

21  So  they  shall  wash  their  hands 
and  their  feet,  that  they  die  not: 
and  it  shall  be  a  statute  for  ever  to 
them,  even  to  him  and  to  his  seed 
throughout  their  generations. 

Ex.  38—8  And  lie  made  the  laver 
of  brass,  and  the  foot  of  it  of  brass, 
of  the  lookingglassesof  the  women 
assembling,  which  assembled  at 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the

Is.  45—1  Thus  saith  the  Lord  to 
his  anointed,  to  Cyrus,  whose 
right  hand  have  holden,  to  sub- 
due nations  before  him ;  and  I  will 
loose  the  loins  of  kings,  to  open 
before  him  the  twoleaved  gates; 
and  the  gates  shall  not  be  shut ; 

2 1  will  go  before  thee,  and  make 
the  crooked  places  straight :  I  will 
break  in  pieces  the  gates  of  brass, 
and  cut  in  sunder  the  bars  of  iron : 

3  And  I  will  give  thee  tliH  treas- 
ures of  darkness,  and  liidden 
riches  of  secret  places,  that  tliou 
mayest  know  that  I,  the  Lord, 
which  call  thee  by  thy  name,  am 
the  God  of  Israel. 

4  For  Jacob  my  servant's  sake, 
and  Israel  mine  elect,  I  have  even 
called  thee  by  thy  name:  I  have 
sumamed  thee,  though  thou  hast 
not  known  me. 

5  I  am  the  Lord,  and  there  is 
none  else,  there  is  no  God  besides 
me:  I  girdeth  thee,  though  thou 
hast  not  known  me.  Continued 
on  p.  101.  

The  mighty  leviathan.  See  also 
Is.  27. 1,  p.  262. 

Job  41—1  Canst  thou  draw  out 
leviathan  with  a  hook?  or  his 
tongue  with  a  cord  which  thou 
lettest  down? 

2  Canst  thou  put  a  hook  into 
his  nose?  or  bore  his  jaw  through 
with  a  thoni? 

3  Will  he  make  many  supplica- 
tions imtothee?  will  he  speak  soft 
words  unto  thee? 

4  Will  he  make  a  covenant  with 
thee?  wilt  thou  take  him  for  a 
servant  for  ever? 

5  Wilt  thou  play  with  him  as 
with  a  bird?  or  wilt  thou  bind 
him  for  thy  maidens? 

6  Shall  the  companions  make  a 
banquet  of  him?  shall  they  part 
him  among  the  merchants? 

7  Canst  thou  fill  his  skin  with 
barbed  irons?  or  his  head  with 
fish  spears. 

8  Lay  thine  hand  upon  him,  re- 
member the  battle,  do  no  more. 

9  Behold,  the  hope  of  him  is  in 
vain:  shall  not  one  be  cast  down 
even  at  the  sight  of  him? 

10  None  is  so  fierce  that  dare 
stir  him  up:  who  then  is  able  to 
stand  before  me? 

11  Wlio  hath  prevented  me,  that 
I  should  repay  him?  whatsoever  is 
under  the  whole  heaven  is  mine.

12  I  will  not  conceal  his  parts, 
nor  his  power,  nor  his  comely 
proportion. 

13  Who  can  discover  the  face  of 
his  garment?  or  who  can  come  to 
him  with  his  douhle  bridle? 

14  Who  can  open  the  doors  of 
his  face?  his  teeth  are  terrible. 

15  His  scales  are  his  pride,  shut 
up  together  as  with  a  close  seal. 

16  One  is  so  near  to  another,  that 
no  air  can  come  between  them. 

17  They  are  joined  one  to  an- 
other, they  stick  togetlier,  that 
they  cannot  be  sundered.     . 

18  By  his  neesings  a  light  doth 
shine,  and  his  eyes  are  like  the 
eyelids  of  the  morning. 

19  Out  of  his  mouth  go  burning 
lamps,  and  sparks  of  fire  leap  out. 

20  Out  of  his  nostrils  goeth 
smoke,  as  out  of  a  seething  pot  or 
caldron. 

21  His  breath  kindleth  coals,  and 
a  flame  goeth  out  of  his  mouth. 

22  In  his  neck  remaineth 
strength,  and  sorrow  is  turned  into 
joy  before  him. 

23  The  flakes  of  his  flesh  are 
joined  together:  they  are  firm 
in  themselves;  they  cannot  be 
moved. 

24  His  heart  is  as  firm  as  a  stone ; 
yea,  as  hard  as  a  piece  of  the 
nether  millstone. 

25  When  he  rr.iseth  up  himself, 
the  mighty  are  afraid :  by  reason 
of  breakings  they  pvirify  them- 
selves. 

26  The  sword  of  him  that  layeth 
at  him  cannot  hold:  the  spear,  the 
dart,  nor  the  habergeon. 

27  He  esteemeth  iron  as  straw, 
and  brass  as  rotten  wood. 

28  The  arrow  cannot  make  him 
flee :  sling  stones  are  turned  with 
him  into  stubble. 

29  Darts  are  counted  as  stubble: 
he  laugheth  at  the  shaking  of  a 
spear. 

30  Sharp  stones  are  under  him : 
he  spreadeth  sharp  pointed  things 
upon  the  mire. 

31  He  maketh  the  deep  to  boil 
like  a  pot:  he  maketh  the  sea 
like  a  pot  of  ointment. 

32  He  maketh  a  path  to  shine 
after  him;  one  would  think  the 
deep  to  be  hoary. 

33  Upon  earth  there  is  not  his 
like,  who  is  made  without  fear. 

34  Hebeholdeth  all  high  things: 
he  is  a  king  over  all  the  children 
of  pride. 


EZEKIEL'S  VISION. 


The  mark  preserved.  See  also 
Re.  13. 16,  17,  p.  63. 

Eze.  9—1  He  cried  also  in  mine 
ears  with  a  loud  voice,  saying. 
Cause  them  that  have  charge 
over  the  city  to  draw  near,  even 
every  man  with  his  destroying; 
weapon  in  bis  hand. 

2  And,  behold,  six  men  came 
every  man  a  slaughter  weapon  in 
his  hand;  and  one  man  among 
them  was  clothed  with  linen,  with 
a  writer's  inkhom  by  his  side: 
and  they  went  in,  and  stood  be- 
side the  Drazen  altar. 

3  And  the  glory  of  the  God  of 
Israel  was  gone  up  from  the  cher- 
ub. And  he  called  to  the  man 
clothed  with  linen. 

4  And  theLoKD  said.  Go  through 
the  midst  of  Jerusalem,  and  set  a 
mark  upon  the  foreheads  of  the 
men  that  sigh  and  that  cry  for  all 
the  abominations  that  be  done  in 
the  midst  thereof. 

5  And  to  the  others  he  said,  Go 
ye  after  him  through  the  city,  and 
smite:  let  not  your  eye  spare, 
neither  have  ye  pity : 

6  Slay  utterly  old  and  young, 
both  maids,  and  little  children, 
and  women :  but  come  not  near 
any  man  upon  whom  is  the  mark  ; 
and  begin  at  my  sanctuary.  Then 
they  began  at  the  ancient  men 
which  were  before  the  house. 

7  And  he  said  unto  them.  Defile 
the  house,  and  fill  the  courts  with 
the  slain:  go  ye  forth.  And  they 
went  forth,  and  slew  in  the  city. 

8  And  while  they  were  slaying 
them,  I  fell  upon  my  face,  and 
cried,  and  said.  Ah  Lord  God! 
wilt  thou  destroy  all  the  residue 
of  Israel  in  thy  pouring  out  of  thy 
fury  upon  Jerusalem? 

9  Then  said  he  unto  me.  The  in- 
iquity of  the  house  of  Israel  and 
Judan  is  exceeding  great,  and  the 
land  is  full  of  blood,  and  the  city 
full  of  perverseness:  for  they  say. 
The  Lord  hath  forsaken  the 
earth,  and  the  Lord  seeth  not. 

10  And  as  for  me  also,  mine  eye 
shall  not  spare,  neither  will  1  have 
pity,  but  I  will  recompense  their 
way  upon  their  head. 

11  And  the  man  clothed  with 
linen,  which  had  the  inkhom  by 
his  side,  reported,  saying,  I  have 
done  as  thou  commanded  me. 


402 


Aaron's  two  sons,  for  offering 
strange  lire  before  the  Lord,  are 
destroyed  by  fire  from  the  Lord. 

Le.  1ft— 1  And  Nadaband  Abihu, 
the  sons  of  Aaron,  took  either  of 
them  his  censer,  and  put  fire 
thereiri,  and  put  incense  tliereon, 
and  offered  strange  lire  before 
the  Lord,  which  he  commanded 
them  not. 

2  And  there  went  out  fire  from 
the  Lord,  and  devoured  tliem, 
and  they  died  before  the  Lord. 

3  Then  Moses  said  unto  Aaron. 
This  is  it  tliat  the  Lord  spake, 
saying,  I  will  be  sanctified  in 
them  that  come  nigh  me,  and  be- 
fore all  the  people  I  will  be  glori- 
fied.   And  Aaron  held  his  peace. 

4  And  Moses  called  Mishael  and 
Elzaphan,  the  sons  of  Uzziel  the 
uncle  of  Aaron,  and  said  unto 
them.  Come  near,  carry  your 
brethren  from  Ijefore  the  sanc- 
tuary out  of  the  camp. 

5  bo  they  went  near,  and  carried 
them  in  their  coats  out  of  the 
camp;  as  Moses  had  said. 

6  And  Moses  said  unto  Aaron, 
and  unto  Eleazar  and  unto  Itha- 
mar.  his'  sons.  Uncover  not  your 
heads,  neither  rend  your  clothes; 
lest  ye  die.  and  lest  wrath  come 
upon  all  the  people:  but  let  your 
brethren,  the  whole  house  of  Is- 
rael, bewail  the  burning  which 
the  Lord  hath  kindled. 

7  And  ye  shall  not  go  out  from 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the 
congregation,  lest  ye  die:  for  the 
anointing  oil  of  the  Lord  is  upon 
you.  And  they  did  according  to 
the  word  of  Moses. 

■Israelites  destroyed  by  fire  from 
the  Lord.  They  also  worried 
Moses  to  that  extent  that  he 
asked  the  Lord  to  kill  him.  Thus 
did  the  Lord's  chosen  people,  p. 
234.    Passing  through  fire,  etc. 

Nu.  11—1  And  when  the  people 
complained,  it  displeased  the 
Lord;  and  the  fire  of  the  Lord 
burnt  among  them,  and  consumed 
them  that  were  in  the  uttermost 
parts  of  the  camp. 

2  And  the  people  cried  unto  Mo- 
ses; and  when  Moses  prayed  unto 
the  Lord,  the  fire  was  quenched. 

3  And  he  called  the  name  of  the 
place  Taberah :  because  the  fire  of 
the  Lord  burnt  among  them. 


11  And  Moses  said  unto  the 
Lord,  Wherefore  hast  thou  afflict- 
ed thy  servant?  that  thou  layest 
the  burden  of  all  this  people  upon 
me? 

14  I  am  not  able  to  bear  all  this 
people  alone,  because  it  is  too 
heavy  for  me. 

15  And  if  thou  deal  thus  with 
me,  kill  me,  I  pray  thee,  out  of 
hand,  if  I  have  found  favour  in 
thy  sight ;  and  let  me  not  see  my 
wretchedness. 

2  Ki.  17—17  And  they  caused 
their  sons  and  their  daughters  to 
pass  through  the  fire,  and  used  di- 
vination and  enchantments,  and 
sold  themselves  to  do  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  to  provoke  him 
to  anger. 

2  Ki.  21—6  And  Manassah  made 
his  son  pass  through  the  fire,  and 
observed  times,  and  used  enchant- 
ments, and  dealt  with  familiar 
spirits  and  wizards. 

2  Chr.  28— 3  Moreover  Ahaz  burnt 
incense  in  the  valley  of  the  son  of 
Hmnom,  and  burnt  his  children 
in  the  fire,  after  the  abominations 
of  the  heathen. 

THE  LAST  WORDS  OF 
DAVID. 

2  Sa.  23—1  Now  these  be  the  last 
words  of  David.  David  the  son  of 
Jesse  said,  and  the  man  who  was 
raised  up  on  high,  the  anointed 
of  the  God  of  Jacob,  and  the  sweet 
psalmist  of  Israel,  said, 

2  The  Spirit  of  the  Lord  spake 
by  me,  and  his  word  was  in  my 
tongue. 

3  The  God  of  Israel  said,  the 
Rock  of  Israel  spake  to  me.  He 
that  ruleth  over  men  must  be  just, 
ruling  in  the  fear  of  God. 

4  And  he  shall  be  asthe  light  of 
the  morning,  when  the  sunriseth, 
even  a  morning  without  clouds; 
as  the  tender  grass  springing  out 
of  the  earth  by  clear  shining  after 
rain. 

5  Although  my  house  be  not  so 
with  God ;  yet  he  hath  made  with 
me  an  everlasting  covenant. 

6  But  the  sons  of  Belial  shall  be 
as  thorns  thrust  away,  becaiise 
they  cannot  be  taken  with  hands : 

7  But  the  man  that  shall  touch 
them  must  be  fenced  with  iron 
and  the  staff  of  a  spear  •  and  they 
shall  be  utterly  burned  with  fire 
in  the  same  place,    p.  429.

BATTLES.  JEWISH  LAWS   IN  REGARD,  QUOTATIONS.  ETC. 


Remarkable  and  mysterious 
battles  mentioned  in  the  Bible, 
p.  403-436.  See  also  Ju.  8.  10,  p. 
494;  Nu.  21,  p.  144;  War.  p.  324;  and 
the  greatest  of  all  armies.  200,- 
000,000  men  all  on  white  horses, 
and  all  in  heaven,  according  to 
St.  John,  Re.  9. 16,  p.  119,  and  Re. 
19.  14,  p.  535,  and  Job  39.  25,  p.  128 ; 
Job  41.  8,  p.  400;  Ec.  9.  11.  p.  195; 
Zee.  10.  3,  p.  271 ;  Spoil,  p.  266. 

De.  20—1  When  thou  goest  out  to 
battle  against  thine  enemies,  and 
seest  horses,  and  chariots,  and  a 
people  more  than  thou,  be  not 
afraid  of  them:  for  the  Lord  thy 
God  is  with  thee,  which  brought 
thee  up  out  of  the  laud  of  Egypt. 

2  And  when  ye  are  come  nigh 
unto  the  battle,  the  priest  shall 
speak  unto  the  people. 

3  And  say  iinto  them.  Hear,  O 
Israel,  ye  approach  this  day  unto 
battle  against  your  enemies:  let 
not  your  hearts  faint,  fear  not, 
and  do  not  tremble,  neither  be  ye 
terrified  because  of  them  ; 

4  For  the  Lord  your  God  is  he 
that  goeth  with  you,  to  fight  for 
you  against  your  enemies,  to  save 
you. 

5  And  other  ofHcers  shall  speak 
uutothe  people, saying.  What  man 
is  there  that  hath  built  a  new 
house,  and  hath  not  dedicated  it? 
let  him  go  and  return  to  his  house, 
lest  he  die  in  the  battle,  and  an- 
other man  dedicate  it. 

6  And  what  man  hath  planted 
a  vineyard, and  hath  not  yet  eaten 
of  it?  let  him  also  go  and  return 
unto  his  house,  lest  he  die  in  the 
battle,  and  another  man  eat  of  it. 

7  And  what  man  is  there  that 
hath  betrothed  a  wife,  and  hath 
not  taken  her?  let  him  go  and  re- 
turn unto  his  house,  lest  he  die  in 
the  battle,  and  another  man  take 
her. 

8  And  what  man  is  there,  that  is 
fearful  and  fainthearted?  let  him 
go  and  return  unto  his  house,  lest 
his  brethren's  heart  faint  as  well 
as  his  heart. 

9  And  when  the  pfHcers  have 
made  an  end  of  speaking  unto  the 
people,  they  shall  make  captains 
of  the  armies  to  lead  the  people. 

De.  21—10  When  thou  goest  forth 
to  war  against  thine  enemies,  and 


the  Lord  thy  God  hath  delivered 
them  into  thine  hands,  and  thou 
hast  taken  them  captive, 

11  And  seest  among  the  captives 
a  beautiful  woman,  and  hast  a  de- 
sire unto  her,  that  thou  wouldest 
have  her  to  thy  wife ; 

12  Then  thou  shalt  bring  her 
home  to  thine  house;  and  she 
shall  shave  her  head,  and  pare  her 
nails; 

13  And  put  the  raiment  of  her 
captivity  from  off  of  her,  and  shall 
remain  in  thine  house,  and  bewail 
her  father  and  her  mother  a  full 
month:  and  after  that  thou  shalt 
go  in  unto  her,  and  be  her  hus- 
band, and  she  shall  be  thy  wife. 

14  And  if  thou  have  no  delight 
in  her,  then  thou  shalt  let  her  go 
whither  she  will ;  but  thou  shalt 
not  sell  her  f(jr  money,  thou  shalt 
not  make  merchandise  of  her,  be- 
cause thou  hast  humbled  her. 

De.  24—5  When  a  man  hath 
taken  a  new  wife,  he  shall  not  go 
out  to  war,  neither  shall  he  be 
charged  with  any  business:  but  he 
shall  be  free  at  home  one  year, 
and  shall  cheer  up  his  wife  which 
he  hath  taken. 

1  Clir.  12— 2They  were  armed  with 
bows,  and  could  use  both  the  right 
hand  and  the  left  in  hurling  stones 
and  shooting  arrows,  even  of 
Saul's  brethren  of  Benjamin. 

Ps.  18—39  For  thou  hast  girded 
me  with  strength  unto  the  battle. 

Ps.  78.-9  The  children  of  Eph- 
raim,  being  armed,  and  carrying 
bows,  turned  back  in  the  day  of 
battle. 

Is.  9—5  For  every  battle  of  the 
waiTior  is  with  confused  noise, 
and  garments  rolled  in  blood ;  but 
this  shall  be  with  burning  and 
fuel  of  fire. 

Je.  46—3  Order  ye  the  buckler 
and  shield,  and  draw  near  to 
battle. 

Je.  50—22  A  sound  of  battle  is  in 
the  land,  and  of  great  destrac- 
tion. 

Je.  51—20  Thou  art  my  battle 
axe  and  weapons  of  war:  for  with 
thee  will  I  oreak  in  pieces  the 
nations,  and  with  thee  will  I  de- 
stroy kingdoms. 

Eze.  7—14  They  have  blown  the 
trumpet,  even  to  make  all  ready; 
but  none  goeth  to  the  battle. 


401 


The  tirst  battle.  The  battle  of 
four  kings  against  five,  and 
Abram's  battle  with  the  victor- 
ious four  kings. 

Ge.  14—5  And  in  the  fourteenth 
year  came  Chedorlaomer,  and  the 
kings  that  were  with  him,  and 
.smote  the  Rephaim  in  Ashteroth 
KamaimLandthe  Zuzim  in  Ham, 
and  the  Emim  in  Shaveh  Kiria- 
thaim, 

6  And  the  Horites  in  their 
mount  Seir,  unto  El-paran,  which 
is  by  the  wilderness. 

7  And  they  returned,  and  came 
to  En-mishpat,  which  is  Kadesh, 
and  smote  all  the  country  of  the 
Amalekites,  and  also  the  Amo- 
rites,  that  dwelt  in  Hazezon- 
tamar. 

8  And  there  went  out  the  king 
of  Sodom,  and  the  king  of  Gormor- 
rah,  and  the  king  of  Admah,  and 
the  king  of  Zeboiim.and  the  king 
of  Bela,  (the  same  is  Zoar;)  and 
they  joined  battle  with  them  in 
the  vale  of  Siddim : 

9  With  Chedorlaomer  the  king 
of  Elam,  and  with  Tidal  king  of 
nations,  and  Amraphel  king  of 
Shinar,  and  Arioch  king  of  El- 
lasar;  four  kings  with  five. 

10  And  tlie  vale  of  (Siddim  was 
full  of  slimepits;  and  the  kings  of 
Sodom  and  Gomorrah  fled,  and 
fell  there ;  and  they  that  remained 
fled  to  the  mountain. 

11  And  they  took  all  the  goods 
of  Sodom  and  Gomorrah,  and  all 
their  victixals,  and  went  then- 
way. 

12  And  they  took  Lot,  Abram's 
brother's  son,  who  dwelt  in 
Sodom,  and  his  goods,  and  de- 
parted. 

13  And  there  came  one  that 
had  escaped,  and  told  Abram  the 
Hebrew ;  for  he  dwelt  in  the  plain 
of  Mamre  the  Amorite,  brother  of 
Eshcol,  and  brother  of  Aner: 
and  these  were  confederate  with 
Abram. 

14  And  when  Abram  heard  that 
his  brother  was  taken  captive,  he 
armed  his  trained  servants,  born 
in  his  own  house,  three  hundred 
and  eighteen,  and  pursued  them 
unto  Dan. 

15  And  he  divided  himself  a- 
gainst  them,  he  and  his  servants, 
by  night,  and  smote  them,  and 
pursued  them  unto  Hobah,  which 
IS  on  the  left  hand  of  Damascus. 


16  And  he  brought  back  all  the 
goods,  and  also  brought  again  his 
brother  Lot,  and  his  goods,  and 
the  women  also,  and  the  people. 
Vrs.  17.  20,  p.  223. 

21  And  the  king  of  Sodom  said 
unto  Abram,  Give  me  the  persons, 
and  take  the  goods  to  thyself. 

22  And  Abram  said  to  the  king 
of  Sodom,  I  have  lifted  up  mine 
hand  unto  the  Lord,  the  most 
high  God,  the  possessor  of  heaven 
and  earth, 

23  That  I  will  not  take  from  a 
thread  even  to  a  shoelachet,  and 
that  I  will  not  take  any  thing  that 
is  thine,  lest  thou  shouldest  say,  I 
have  made  Abram  rich : 

24  Save  only  that  which  the 
young  men  have  eaten,  and  the 
portion  of  the  men  which  went 
with  me,  Aner,  Eshcol,  and  Mam- 
re ;  let  them  take  their  portion. 

Moses'  battle  with  Amalek  in 
Rephidim.  "Hands  up." 

Ex.  27— SThencame  Amalek.and 
fought  with  Israel  in  Rephidim. 

9  And  Moses  said  unto  Joshua, 
Choose  us  out  men,  and  go  out, 
fight  with  Amalek:  to  morrow 
I  will  stand  on  the  top  of  the 
hill  with  the  rod  of  God  in  mine 
hand. 

10  So  Joshua  did  as  Moses  had 
said  to  him,  and  foughtwith  Ama- 
lek: and  Moses,  Aaron,  and  Hur 
went  up  to  the  top  of  the  hill. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Moses  held  up  his  hand,  that 
Lsrael  prevailed:  and  when  he 
let  down  his  hand,  Amalek  pre- 
vailed. 

12  But  Moses'  hands  were  heavy ; 
and  they  took  a  stone,  and  put  it 
under  him,  and  he  sat  thereon ; 
and  Aaron  and  Hur  stayed  up  his 
hands,  the  one  on  the  one  side, 
and  the  other  on  the  other  side ; 
and  his  hands  were  steady  until 
the  going  down  of  the  sun. 

13  And  Joshua  discomfited  Ama- 
lek and  his  people  with  the  edge 
of  the  sword. 

14  And  the  Lokd  said  unto  Mo- 
ses, Write  this  for  a  memorial  in 
a  book,  and  rehearse  it  in  the  ears 
of  Joshua:  fori  will  utterly  put 
out  the  remembrance  of  Amalek 
from  under  heaven. 

15  And  Moses  built  an  altar,  and 
called  the  name  of  it  Jehovah- 
nissi : 


405 


16  For  he  said.  Because  the  Lord 
hath  sworn  that  the  Lord  will 
have  war  with  Amalek  from  geu- 
eration  to  generation. 

De.  25—17  Remember  what  Am- 
alek did  unto  thee  by  the  way, 
when  ye  were  come  forth  out  of 
Egypt ; 

18  How  he  met  thee  by  the  way, 
and  smote  the  hindmost  of  thee, 
even  all  that  were  feeble  beliind 
thee,  when  thou  wast  faint  and 
weary;  and  he  feared  not  God. 

19  Therefore  it  shall  be,  when 
the  Lord  thy  God  hath  given  thee 
rest  from  all  tliiue  enemies  round 
about,  in  tlie  land  which  tlie  Lord 
thy  God  givetli  thee  for  an  inher- 
itance to  possess  it,  that  thou 
shalt  blot  out  the  remembrance 
of  Amalek  from  luider  heaven; 
thou  shalt  not  forget  it. 

Ex.  23— '20  Behold,  I  send  an  An- 
gel [supposed  to  be  Christ]  before 
thee,  to  Keep  thee  in  the  way,  and 
to  bring  thee  into  the  place  which 
I  have  prepared. 

21  Beware  of  him,  and  obey  his 
voice,  provoke  him  not;  for  he 
will  not  pardon  your  transgres- 
sions: for  my  name  is  in  him. 

22  But  if  thou  shalt  indeed  obey 
his  voice,  and  do  all  that  I  speak ; 
then  1  will  be  an  enemy  uuto 
thine  enemies,  and  an  adversary 
unto  thine  adversaries. 

23  For  mine  Angel  shall  go  be- 
fore thee,  and  bring  thee  in  unto 
the  Amorites.aud  theHittites.and 
thePerizzites,andthe  Canaauites, 
the  Hivites,  and  the  Jebusites; 
and  1  will  cut  them  off.

Nu.  31—1  And  the  Lord  spake 
mito  Moses,  saying, 

2  Avenge  the  childreu  of  Israel 
of  the  Midianites:  afterwardshalt 
thou  be  gathered  unto  thy  people. 

6  And  Moses  sent  them  to  the 
war,  a  thousand  of  every  tribe, 
them  and   Phinehas  the   priest. 


with  the  holy  instruments,  and 
the  trumpets  to  blow. 

7  And  tliey  warred  against  the 
Midianites,  as  the  Lord  com- 
manded Moses;  and  they  slew  all 
the  males. 

8  And  they  slew  the  kings  of 
Midian,  beside  the  rest  of  them 
that  were  slain ;  namely,  Evi,  and 
Rekem,  and  Zur,  and  Hur,  and 
Keba,  live  kings  of  Midian:  Ba- 
laam also  the  son  of  Beor  they 
slew  with  the  sword. 

9  And  the  children  of  Israel  took 
all  tlie  women  of  Midian  captives, 
and  their  little  ones,  and  took  the 
spoil  of  all  their  cattle,  and  all 
their  tiocks,  and  all  their  goods. 

10  And  they  burnt  all  tlieir 
cities  wherein  they  dwelt,  and  all 
their  goodly  castles,  with  fire. 

12  And  they  brought  the  cap- 
tives, and  the  prey,  and  the  spoil, 
unto  Moses  and  Eleazar  the  priest, 
and  unto  the  congregation  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  unto  the  camp 
at  the  plains  of  Moab,  which  are 
by  Jordan  near  Jericho. 

15  And  Moses, said  unto  them, 
Have  ye  saved  all  the  women 
alive? 

17  Now  therefore  killeverymale 
among  the  little  ones,  and  kill 
every  womau  that  hath  known 
man  by  lying  with  him. 

18  But  all  the  women  children, 
that  have  not  known  a  man  by 
lying  with  him,  keep  alive  for 
yourselves.    Continued  on  p.  2C6. 

The  fall  of  Jericho:  all  the 
men,  women,  children,  and  ani- 
mals slaughtered ;  nothing  saved 
alive  except  Rahab,  the  harlot. 

Jos.  2—1  And  Joshua  the  son  of 
Nun  sent  out  of  Shittim  two  men 
to  spy  secretly,  saying,  Go  view 
the  land,  even  Jericho.  And  they 
went,  and  came  into  a  harlot's 
liou.se,  named  Rahab,  and  lodged 
there. 

2  And  it  was  told  the  king  <>f 
Jericho,  saying,  Behold,  there 
came  men  in  nither  to  night  of 
the  children  of  Israel  to  search 
out  the  country. 

3  And  the  king  of  Jericho  sent 
unto  Rahab,  saying.  Bring  forth 
the  men  that  are  come  to  thee, 
which  are  entered  into  thine 
house :  for  they  be  come  to  search 
out  all  the  country. 

4  And  the  woman  took  the  two 
men,  and  lud  tliem,  and  said  thus, 


406 


There  came  inen  unto  me,  but  I 

wist  not  whence  they  were : 

6  But  she  had  brought  them  up 
to  the  roof  of  the  house,  and  hid 
them  with  the  stalks  of  flax. 

12  Now  therefore,  1  pray  you, 
swear  unto  me  by  the  Lord,  since 
I  have  shewed  you  kindness,  that 
ye  will  also  shew  kindness  unto 
my  father's  house : 

13  And  that  ye  will  save  alive 
my  father,  and  my  mother,  and 
my  brethren,  and  my  sisters,  and 
all  that  they  have. 

14  And  the  men  answered  her, 
Our  life  for  yours,  if  ye  utter  not 
this  our  business.  And  it  shall 
be,  when  the  Lord  hath  given  us 
the  land,  that  we  will  deal  kindly 
and  truly  with  thee. 

15  Then  she  let  them  down  by  a 
cord  through  the  window :  for  her 
house  was  upon  the  town  wall. 

18  Behold,  when  we  come  into 
the  land,  thou  shalt  bind  this  line 
of  scarlet  thread  in  the  window 
which  thou  didst  let  us  down  by: 
and  thou  shalt  bring  thy  father, 
and  thy  mother,  and  thy  breth- 
ren, and  all  thy  father's  house- 
hold, home  unto  thee. 

21  And  she  said.  According  unto 
your  words,  so  be  it.  And  they 
departed:  and  she  bound  the 
scarlet  line  in  the  window. 

Jos.  6—1  Now  Jericho  was  straitly 
shut  up  becau.se  of  the  children  of 
Israel:  none  went  out,  and  none 
came  in. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Josh- 
ua, See,  I- have  given  into  thine 
hand  Jericho,  and  the  king  there- 
of, and  the  mighty  men  of  valour. 

3  And  ye  shall  compass  the  city, 
all  ye  men  of  war,  and  go  round 
about  the  city  once.  Thus  shalt 
thou  do  six  days. 

4  And  .seven  priests  shall  bear 
before  the  ark  seven  trumpets  of 
rams'  horns:  and  the  seventh  day 
ye  shall  compass  the  city  seven 
times,  and  the  priests  shall  blow 
with  the  trumpets. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
seventh  time,  when  the  priests 
blew  with  the  trumpets,  Joshua 
.said  unto  the  people.  Shout;  for 
the  Lord  hath  given  you  tlie  city. 

20  So  the  people  shouted  when 
the  priests  olew  with  the  trum- 
pets: and  the  wall  fell  down  Hat, 
so  that  the  people  went  up  into 
the  city,  every  man  straight  be- 
fore him,  and  they  took  the  city. 


21  And  they  utterly  destroyed 
all  that  was  in  the  city,  both  man 
and  woman,  young  and  old,  and 
ox,  and  sheep,  andf  ass,  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword. 

22  But  Joshua  had  said  unto  the 
two  men  that  had  spied  out  the 
country.  Go  into  tne  harlot's 
house,  and  bring  out  thence  the 
woman,  and  all  that  she  hath. 

23  And  the  young  men  went  in, 
and  brought  out  Rahab,  and  her 
father,  mother,  brethren,  and  all 
that  she  had;  and  they  brought 
out  all  her  kindred, 

24  And  they  burnt  the  city  with 
fire,  and  all  that  was  therein: 
only  the  silver,  and  the  gold,  and 
the  vessels  of  brass  and  of  iron, 
they  put  into  the  treasury  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

25  And  Joshua  saved  Rahab  the 
harlot  alive,  and  all  that  she  had ; 
and  she  dwelleth  in  Israel  even 
imto  this  day;  because  she  hid 
the  messengers,  which  Joshua 
sent  to  spy  out  Jericho. 

26  II  And  Joshua  adjured  tliem 
at  that  time,  saying.  Cursed  he 
the  man  before  the  Lord,  that 
riseth  up  and  buildeth  this  city 
Jericho:  he  shall  laj;  the  founda- 
tion thereof  in  his  firstborn,  and 
in  his  youngest  son  shall  he  set  up 
the  gates  of  it. 

27  So  the  Lord  was  with  Joshua ; 
and  his  fame  was  noised  through- 
out all  the  country. 

1  Ki.  16—34  IT  In  his  days  did 
Hielthe  Beth-elite  build  Jericho: 
he  laid  the  formdation  thereof  in 
Abham  his  firstborn,  and  set  up 
the  gates  thereof  in  his  youngest 
son  Segub,  according  to  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  which  he  spake  by 
Joshua  the  son  of  Nun. 

The  city  of  Ai  taken  and  burnt 
by  Joshua,  who  hanged  the  king 
and  slaughtered  twelve  thousand 
men,  women,  and  children,  all 
by  the  Lord's  command. 

Jos.  8—18  And  the  Lord  said  un- 
to Joshua,  Stretch  out  the  spear 
that  is  in  thy  hand  toward  Ai :  for 
I  will  give  it  into  thine  hand. 
And  Joshua  stretched  out  the 
spear  that  he  had  toward  the  city. 

25  And  so  it  was,  that  all  that 
fell  that  day,  both  of  men  and 
women,  were  twelve  thousand, 
even  all  the  men  of  Ai. 

26  For  Joshua  drew  not  his  hand 
back,  wherewith  he  stretched  out 


407 


the  spear,  until  he  had  utterly  de- 
stroyed all  the  inhabitants  of  Ai. 

27  Only  the  cattle  and  the  spoil 
of  that  city  Israel  took  for  a  prey 
unto  themselves,  according  unto 
the  word  of  the  Lord  which  he 
commanded  Joshua. 

28  And  Joshua  burnt  Ai,  and 
made  it  a  heap  for  ever,  even  a 
desolation  unto  this  day. 

29  And  the  king  of  Ai  he  hanged 
on  a  tree  until  eventide:  and  as 
soon  as  the  sun  was  down,  Joshua 
commanded  that  they  should  take 
his  carcass  down  from  the  tree, 
and  cast  it  at  the  entering  of  the 
gate  of  the  city,  and  raise  thereon 
a  great  heap  of  stones,  that  re- 
maineth  unto  this  day.  See  Jos. 
7,  p.  277.  

The  battle  at  Gibeon,  where 
Joshua  commanded  the  sun  and 
moon  to  stand  still,  and  where  the 
Lord  cast  down  stones  from 
heaven  upon  the  people,  and 
killed  more  of  them  than  the 
children  of  Israel  did  with  the 
sword.  Joshua  hanged  the  king 
of  Jerusalem,  etc.  See  also  Jos.  U. 
6,  9,  p.  127. 

Jos.  10—1  Now  it  came  to  pass, 
when  Adoni-zedek  king  of  Jeru- 
salem had  heard  how  Joshua  had 
taken  Ai,  and  had  utterly  destroy- 
ed it;  as  he  had  done  to  Jericho 
and  her  king,  so  he  had  done  to 
Ai  and  her  king:  and  how  the 
inhabitants  of  Gioeon  had  made 
peace  with  Israel,  and  were  among 
them ; 

2  That  they  feared  greatly,  be- 
cause Gibeon  was  a  great  city,  as 
one  of  the  royal  cities,  and  be- 
cause it  was  greater  than  Ai,  and 
all  the  men  thereof  were  mighty. 

3  Wherefore  Adoni-zedek  king 
of  Jerusalem  sent  unto  Hoham 
king  of  Hebron,  and  unto  Piram 
king  of  Jarmiith.  and  unto  Japliia 
king  of  Lachish,  and  unto  Debir 
king  of  Eglon,  saying, 

4  Come  up  unto  me,  and  help 
me,  that  we  may  smite  Gibeon: 
f  or  it  hath  madepeace  with  Joshua 
and  with  the  children  of  Israel. 

5  Therefore  the  five  kings  of  the 
Amorites.  the  king  of  Jerusalem, 
the  king  of  Hebron,  the  king  of 
Jarmuth,  the  kiugof  Lachish,  the 
kings  of  Eglon,  gathered  them- 
selves together,  and  went  up, 
they  and  all  their  hosts,  and  en- 


camped before  Gibeon.  and  made 
war  against  it. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
Joshua.^  Fear  them  not:  for  I 
have  delivered  them  into  thine 
hand;  there  shall  not  a  man  of 
them  stand  before  thee. 

9  Joshua  therefore  came  unto 
them  suddenly,  and  went  up  from 
Gilgal  all  night. 

10  And  the  Lord  discomfited 
them  before  Israel,  and  slew  them 
with  a  great  slaughter  at  Gibeon, 
and  chased  them  along  the  way 
that  goeth  up  to  Beth-horon,  and. 
smote  them  to  Azekah,  and  unto 
Makkedah. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
tied  from  before  Israel,  and  were 
in  the  going  down  to  Beth-horon. 
that  the  Lord  cast  down  great 
stones  from  heaven  upon  them 
unto  Azekah,  and  they  died :  they 
were  more  which  died  with  hail- 
stones than  they  whom  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  slew  with  the  sword . 

12  Then  spake  Joshua  to  the 
Lord  in  the  day  when  the  Lord 
delivered  up  the  Amorites  before 
the  children  of  Israel,  and  he  said 
in  the  sight  of  Israel,  Sun,  stand 
thou  still  upon  Gibeon;  and  thou. 
Moon,  in  the  valley  of  Ajalon. 

13  And  the  sun  stood  still,  and 
the  moon  stayed,  until  the  pedple 
had  avenged  themselves  upon 
their  enemies.  Is  not  this  written 
in  the  book  of  Jasher?  So  the  sun 
stood  still  in  the  midst  of  heaven, 
and  hasted  not  to  go  down  about 
a  whole  day. 

14  And  there  was  no  day  like 
that  before  it  or  after  it,  that  the 
Lord  hearkened  unto  the  voice  of 
a  man :  for  the  Lord  fought  for 
Israel. 

15  And  Joshua  returned,  and 
all  Israel  with  him,  unto  the 
camp  to  Gilgal. 

16  But  these  live  kings  fled,  and 
hid  themselves  in  a  cave. 

22  Then  said  Joshua,  Open  the 
mouth  of  the  cave,  and  bring  out 
those  five  kings  unto  me. 

23  And  they  did  so.  and  brought 
forth  those  five  kings  unto  him 
out  of  the  cave,  the  king  of  Jeru- 
salem, the  king  of  Hebron,  the 
king  of  Jarmuth.  the  king  of  La- 
chish. and  the  king  of  Eglon. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  brought  out  those  kings  unto 
Joshua,  that  Joshua  called  for  all 
the  men  of  Israel,  and  said  unto 


408 


the  captains  of  the  men  of  war 
which  went  with  him.  Come  near, 
put  your  feet  upon  the  necks  of 
these  kings.  And  they  came  near, 
and  put  their  feet  upon  the  necks 
of  them. 

25  And  Joshua  said  unto  them, 
Fear  not,  nor  be  dismayed,  be 
strong  and  of  good  courage:  for 
thus  shall  the  Lord  do  to  all  your 
enemies  against  whom  ye  tight. 

26  And  afterward  Joshua  slew 
them,  and  hanged  them  on  five 
trees:  and  they  were  hangingupou 
the  trees  until  the  evening. 

27  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the 
time  of  the  going  down  of  the  sun, 
that  Joshuacommanded, and  they 
took  them  down  off  the  trees,  and 
cast  them  into  the  cave  wherein 
tliey  had  been  hid,  and  laid  great 
stones  in  the  cave's  mouth,  which 
remain  until  this  very  day.  See 
also  Jos.  12,  p.  144. 

Ehud's  battle  with  the  Moa- 
bites,  10,000 slain.  See  also  Jerusa- 
lem taken,  Jos.  15,  Ju.  l,  and  2  Sa.

Ju.  3—12  And  the  children  of  Is- 
rael did  evil  again  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord  :  and  the  Lord  strength- 
ened Eglon  the  king  of  Moab 
against  Israel. 

13  And  he  gathered  unto  him  the 
children  of  Amnion  and  Amalek, 
and  went  and  smote  Israel,  and 
possessed  the  city  of  palm  trees. 

14  So  the  children  of  Israel 
served  Eglon  the  king  of  Moab 
eighteen  years. 

15  But  when  the  children  of  Is- 
rael cried  unto  the  Lord,  the 
Lord  raised  them  up  a  deliverer, 
Ehud  the  son  of  Gera.aBeiijamite, 
a  man  lefthanded :  and  by  him  the 
children  of  Israel  sent  a  present 
unto  Eglon  the  king  of  Moab. 

16  But  Ehud  made  him  a  dagger 
which  had  two  edges,  of  a  cubit 
length;  and  he  did  gird  it  under 
his  raiment  upon  his  right  thigh. 

17  And  he  brought  the  present 
unto  Eglon  king  of  Moab:  and 
Eglon  was  a  very  fat  man. 

18  And  when  hehad  madeaneud 
to  offer  the  present,  he  sent  away 
the  people  that  bare  the  present. 

19  But  he  himself  turned  again 
from  the  quarries  that  were  by 
Gilgal,  and  said,  I  have  a  secret 
errand  unto  thee,  O  king:  who 
said.  Keep  silence.  And  all  that 
stood  by  him  went  out  from  him. 


20  And  Ehud  came  unto  him; 
and  he  was  sitting  in  a  summer 
parlour,  which  he  had  for  himself 
alone:  and  Ehud  said,  I  have  a 
messagefrom  God  unto  thee.  And 
he  arose  out  of  his  seat. 

21  And  Ehud  put  forth  his  left 
hand,  and  took  the  dagger  from 
his  right  thigh,  and  thrust  it  into 
his  belly: 

22  And  the  haft  also  went  in 
after  the  blade ;  and  the  fat  closed 
upon  the  blade,  so  that  he  could 
not  draw  the  dagger  out  of  his 
bellv ;  and  the  dirt  came  out. 

23Then  Ehud  went  forth  through 
the  porch,  and  shut  the  doors  of 
tlie  parlour  upon  him,  and  locked 
thena. 

24  When  he  was  gone  out,  his 
servants  came;  and  when  they 
saw  that,  behold,  the  doors  of  the 
parlour  were  locked,  they  said, 
Surely  he  covereth  his  feet  in  his 
summer  chamber. 

25  And  they  tarried  till  they 
were  ashamed:  and,  behold,  he 
opened  not  the  doors  of  the  par- 
lour; therefore  they  took  a  key, 
and  opened  them:  and,  behold, 
their  lord  was  fallen  down  dead 
on  the  earth. 

26  And  Ehud  escaped  while  they 
tarried,  and  passed  beyond  the 
quarries,  unto  Seirath. 

27  And  when  he  was  come,  he 
blew  a  trumpet  m  the  mountain 
of  Ephraim,  and  the  children  of 
Israel  went  down  with  him  from 
the  mount,  and  he  before  them. 

29  And  they  slew  of  Moab  at 
that  t  ime  about  ten  thousand  men, 
all  lusty,  and  all  men  of  valour; 
and  there  escaped  not  a  man. 

30  So  Moab  was  subdued  that 
dayunderthehandof Israel.  And 
the  land  had  rest  fourscore  years. 

31  And  after  him  was  Shamgar, 
which  slew  of  the  Philistmes  six 
hundred  men  with  an  oxgoad: 
and  he  also  delivered  Israel.

2  And  the  Lord  sold  them  into 
the  hand  of  Jabin  king  of  Canaan, 
that  reigned  in  Ilazor;  the  cap- 
tain of  whose  host  was  Sisera. 
which  dwelt  in  Harosheth  of  the 
Gentiles.

3  And  the  children  of  Israel  cried 
unto  the  Lokd:  for  he  had  nine 
hundred  chariots  of  iron;  and 
twenty  years  he  mightily  oppress- 
ed the  children  of  Israel. 

4  IT  And  Deborah,  a  prophetess, 
the  wife  of  Lapidoth,  she  judged 
Israel  at  that  time. 

5  And  she  dwelt  under  the  palm 
tree  of  Deborah,  between  Raniah 
and  Beth-el  in  mount  Ephraim: 
and  the  children  of  Israel  came 
up  to  her  for  judgment. 

6  And  she  sent  and  called  Barak 
the  son  of  Abinoam  out  of  Ke- 
desh-naphtali.and  said  tuito  him, 
Hath  not  the  Lord  God  of  Israel 
commanded,  saying.  Go  and  di'aw 
toward  mount  Tabor,  and  take 
with  thee  ten  thousand  men  of 
the  children  of  Naphtali  and  of 
the  children  of  Zebuluu? 

7  And  I  will  draw  unto  thee,  to 
the  river  Kishon,  Sisera  the  cap- 
tain of  Jabin's  army,  with  his 
chariots  and  his  multitude ;  and  I 
will  deliver  him  uito  thine  hand. 

8  And  Barak  said  unto  her.  If 
thou  wilt  go  with  me,  then  1  will 
go:  but  if  thou  wilt  not  go  with 
me,  then  I  will  not  go. 

9  And  she  said,  I  will  surely  go 
with  thee:  notwithstanding  the 
ioui'ney  that  thou  takest  shall  not 
be  for  thine  honour ;  for  the  Lord 
shall  sell  Sisera  into  the  hand  of  a 
woman.  And  Deborah  arose,  and 
went  with  Barak  to  Kedesh. 

15  And  the  Lord  discomfited 
Sisera,  and  all  his  chariots,  and 
all  his  host,  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword  before  Barak ;  so  that  Sisera 
lighted  down  off  his  chariot,  and 
fled  away  on  his  feet. 

16  But  Barak  pursued  after  the 
chariots,  and  after  the  host,  unto 
Harosheth  of  the  Gentiles:  and 
all  the  host  of  Sisera  fell  upon 
the  edge  of  the  sword ;  and  there 
was  not  a  man  left. 

17  Howbeit  Sisera  fled  away  on 
his  feet  to  the  tent  of  Jael  the  wife 
of  Heber  the  Kenite:  for  there 
was  peace  between  Jabin  the 
king  of  Hazor  and  the  house  of 
Heber  the  Kenite. 

18  And  Jael  went  out  to  meet 
Sisera,  and  said  unto  him,  Tiirn 
in,  my  lord,  ttirn  in  to  me;  fear 
not.  And  when  he  had  turned  in 
unto  her  into  the  tent,  she  covered 
him  with  a  mantle. 

19  And  he  said  unto  her.  Give 
me,  I  pray  thee,  a  little  water  to 


drink ;  for  I  am  thirsty.  And  she 
opened,  a  bottle  of  milk,  and  gave 
him  drink,  and  covered  him. 

20  Again  he  said  unto  her.  Stand 
in  the  door  of  the  tent,  and  it 
shall  be,  when  any  man  doth  come 
and  inquire  of  thee,  and  say.  Is 
there  any  man  here?  that  thou 
Shalt  say.  No. 

21  Then  Jael  Heber'swife  took 
a  nail  of  the  tent,  and  took  a  ham- 
mer in  her  hand,  and  went  softly 
unto  him,  and  smote  the  nail  into 
his  temples,  and  fastened  it  into 
the  ground :  for  he  was  fast  asleep 
and  weary.    So  he  died. 

22  And,  behold,  as  Barak  pur- 
sued Sisera,  Jael  came  out  to  meet 
him, and  said  unto  him, Come, and 
I  will  shew  thee  the  man  whom 
thou  seekcst.  And  when  he  came 
into  her  tent,  behold,  Sisera  lay 
dead,  and  the  nail  was  in  his 
temples. 

23  So  God  subdued  on  that  day 
Jabin  the  king  of  Canaan  before 
the  children  of  Israel. 

The  song  of  Deborah  and  Barak. 

Ju.  5—1  Then  sang  Deborah  and 
Barak  the  son  of  Abinoam  on  that 
day,  saying, 

3  Hear,  O  ye  kings;  give  ear,  O 
ye  princes;  1,  even!,  will  sing  un- 
to the  Lord  ;  I  will  sing  praise  to 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel. 

7  The  inhabitants  of  the  villages 
ceased^hey  ceased  in  Israel,  until 
that  I  Deborah  arose,  that  I  aro^e 
a  mother  in  Israel. 

12  Awake,  awake,  Deborah: 
awake,  awake,  utter  a  song:  arise, 
Barak,  and  lead  thy  captivity  cap- 
tive, thou  son  of  Abinoam. 

19  The  kings  came  and  fought; 
then  fought  the  kings  of  Canaan 
in  Taanach  by  the  waters  of  Me- 
giddoj  theytook  nogainof  money. 

20  They  fought  from  heaven; 
the  stars  in  their  courses  fought 
against  Sisera. 

24  Blessed  above  women  shall 
Jael  the  wife  of  Heber  the  Kenite 
be;  blessed  shall  she  be  above 
women  in  the  tent. 

25  He  asked  water,  and  she  gave 
him  milk ;  she  brought  forth  but- 
ter in  a  lordly  di.sh. 

26  She  put  her  hand  to  the  nail, 
and  her  right  hand  to  the  work- 
men's hammer:  and  with  the 
hammer  she  smote  Sisera,  she 
smote  off  his  head,  when  she, had 


410 


pierced  and  stricken  through  his 
temples.  ,  ,  ,     ,  ,, 

27  At  her  feet  he  bowed,  he  fell, 
he  lay  down :  at  her  feet  he  bowed, 
he  fell:  where  he  bowed,  there  he 
fell  down  dead.  ,     ,     , 

28  The  mother  of  Sisera  looked 
out  atawmdow,  and  cried  through 
the  lattice,  Why  is  his  chariot  so 
long  in  coming?  why  tarry  the 
wheels  of  his  chariots? 

29  Her  wise  ladies  answered 
her,  yea,  she  retui-ned  answer  to 
herself,  ,  „   , 

30  Have  they  not  sped?  have 
they  not  divided  the  prey;  to 
every  man  a  damsel  or  two;  to 
Sisera  a  prey  of  divers  colours,  a 
prey  of  divers  colours  of  needle- 
work, of  divers  colours  of  nepile- 
work  on  both  sides,  meet  for  the 
necks  of  them  that  take  the  spoil? 

31  So  let  all  thine  enemies  perish, 
O  Lord:  but  let  them  that  love 
him  be  as  the  sun  when  he  gpetli 
forth  in  his  might.  And  the  land 
had  rest  forty  years. 

Abimelech,the  son  of  Jerubbaal, 
or  Gideon,  slew  seventy  of  his 
own  brothers,  and  was  then  made 
king  of  Israel  by  his  followers 
<the  first  Jewish  king).  His  bat- 
tles and  death,  see  also  Gideon  s 
wonderful  battle,  Ju.  6,  7,  8,  p. 
493-195. 

Ju.  9—1  And  Abimelech  the  son 
of  Jerubbaal  went  to  Shechein 
imto  his  mother's  bretlu-eu,  and 
oommimed  with  them,  and  with 
all  the  family  of  the  house  of  his 
mother's  father,  saying, 

2  Speak,  I  pray  you,  in  the  ears 
of  all  the  men  of  Shechem, 
Whether  is  better  for  you,  either 
that  all  the  sous  of  Jerubbaal, 
which  are  threescore  and  ten  per- 
sons, reign  over  you,  or  that  one 
xeign  over  you?  remember  also 
that  I  am  your  bone  and  your  flesh. 

3  And  his  mother's  brethren 
spake  of  him  in  the  ears  of  all  the 
men  of  Shechem  all  these  words: 
and  their  hearts  inclined  to  fol- 
low Abimelech ;  for  they  said.  He 
is  our  brother. 

4  And  they  gave  him  tlireescore 
and  ten  pieces  of  silver  out  of  the 
house  of  Baal-berith,  wherewith 
Abimelech  hired  vain  and  light 
persons,  which  followed  him. 

5  And  he  went  linto  his  father  s 
liouse  at  Ophrah,  and  slew  his 
brethren  the  sons  of  Jerubbaal, 


being  threescore  and  ten  persons, 
upon  one  stone :  notwithstanding, 
yet  Jotham  the  youngest  son  of 
Jerubbaal  was  left;  for  he  hid 
himself. 

6  And  all  the  men  of  Shechem 
gathered  together,  and  all  the 
house  of  Millo,  and  went  and  made 
Abimelech  king,  by  the  plain  of 
the  pillar  that  was  m  Shechem. 

22  H  When  Abimelech  had 
reigned  three  years  over  Israel, 

23  Then  God  sent  an  evil  spirit 
between  Abimelech  and  the  men 
of  Shechem;  and  the  men  of  She- 
chem dealt  treacherously  with 
Abimelech. 

34  And  Abimelech  rose  up,  and 
all  the  people  that  were  with 
him,  by  night,  and  they  laid  wait 
against  Shechem  in  four  com- 
panies. ,    , 

39  And  Gaal  went  out  before  the 
men  of  Shechem,  and  fought  with 
Abimelech. 

40  And  Abimelech  chased  him, 
and  he  fled  before  him,  and  many 
were  overthrown  and  wounded, 
even  unto  the  eutertngof  the  gate. 

44  And  Abimelech,  and  the  com- 
pany that  was  with  him,  rushed 
forward,  and  stood  in  the  entering 
of  the  gate  of  the  city:  and  the 
two  other  companies  ran  upon  all 
the  people  that  were  in  the  fields, 
and  slew  them. 

45  And  Abimelech  fought 
against  the  city  all  that  day ;  and 
he  took  the  city,  and  slew  the 
people  that  was  therein,  and  beat 
down  the  city,  and  sowed  it  with 
salt. 

47  And  it  was  told  Abimelech. 
that  all  the  men  of  the  tower  of 
Shechem  were  gathered  together. 

48  And  Abimelech  gat  him  up 
to  mount  Zalmon,  he  and  all 
the  people  that  were  with  him; 
and  Abimelech  took  an  axe  in  his 
hand,  and  cut  down  a  bough  from 
the  trees,  and  took  it,  and  laid  it 
on  his  shoulder,  and  said  unto  the 
people  that  were  with  him.  What 
ye  have  seen  me  do,  make  haste, 
and  do  as  I  have  done. 

49  And  all  the  people  likewise 
cut  down  every  man  his  bough, 
and  followed  Abimelech,  and  put 
them  to  the  hold,  and  set  the  hold 
on  fire  upon  them;  so  that  all  the 
men  of  the  tower  of  Shechem 
died  also,  about  a  thousand  men 
and  women. 

50  IF  Then  went  Abimelech  to 
Thebez,  and  took  it. 


411 


51  But  there  was  a  strong  tower 
within  the  city,  and  thither  tied 
all  the  men  and  women,  and  all 
they  of  the  city,  and  shut  it  to 
them,  and  gat  them  up  to  the  top 
of  the  tower. 

52  And  Abimelech  came  unto 
the  tower,  and  fought  against  it, 
and  went  hard  unto  the  door  of 
the  tower  to  burn  it  with  tire. 

53  And  a  certain  woman  cast  a 
piece  of  a  millstone  upon  Abime- 
lech's  head,  and  all  to  brake  his 
skull. 

54  Then  he  called  hastily  unto 
the  young  man  his  armourbearer, 
and  said  unto  him.  Draw  thy 
sword,  and  slay  me,  that  men  say 
not  of  me,  A  woman  slew  him. 
And  his  young  man  thnist  him 
through,  and  he  died. 

55  And  when  the  men  of  Israel 
saw  that  Abimelech  wasdead,they 
departed  everymanunto  his  place. 

Jephthah's  vow  accepted  by  the 
Lord.  He  won  his  battle,  and 
paid  his  vow  by  burning  his  own 
daughter  on  the  altar,  a  human 
sacrifice  to  the  Lord. 

Ju.  11—29  Then  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  came  upon  Jephthah,  and 
he  passed  over  Gilead,  unto  the 
children  of  Ammon. 

30  And  Jephthah  vowed  a  vow 
unto  the  Lord,  and  said.  If  tliuu 
Shalt  without  fail  deliver  the  chil- 
dren of  Ammon  into  mine  hands, 

31  Then  it  shall  be,  that  whatso- 
ever Cometh  forth  of  the  doors  of 
my  house  to  meet  me,  when  I  re- 
turn in  peace  from  the  children 
of  Ammon,  shall  surely  be  the 
Lord's,  and  I  will  offer  it  up  for  a 
burnt  offering. 

32  So  Jephthah  passed  over  un- 
to the  children  of  Amnion  to  tight 
against  them;  and  the  Lord  de- 
livered them  into  his  hands. 

33  And  he  smote  them  from 
Aroer,  even  till  thou  come  to 
Minnith,  even  twenty  cities,  and 
unto  the  plain  of  the  vineyards, 
with  a  very  great  slaughter.  Thus 
the  children  of  Ammon  were  sub- 
dued before  the  children  of  Israel. 

34  And  Jephtliah  came  to  Miz- 
peh  unto  his  house,  and,  behold, 
his  daughter  came  out  to  meet 
him  with  timbrels  and  with 
dances:  and  she  was  his  only 
child ;  beside  her  he  had  neither 
son  nor  daughter. 


35  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
saw  her,  that  he  rent  his  clothes, 
said,  Alas,  my  daughter!  thou 
hast  brought  me  very  low,  and 
thou  art  one  of  them  that  trouble 
me:  for  1  have  opened  my  mouth 
mito  the  Lord,  and  I  cannot  go 
back. 

36  And  she  said  unto  him.  My 
father,  if  thou  hast  opened  thy 
mouth  unto  the  Lord,  do  to  me 
according  to  that  which  hath  pro- 
ceeded out  of  thy  mouth;  foras- 
much as  the  Lord  hath  taken 
vengeance  for  thee  of  thine  ene- 
mies, even  of  the  children  of  Am- 
nion. 

37  And  she  said  unto  her  father. 
Let  this  thing  be  done  for  me:  let 
me  alone  two  months,  that  I  may 
go  up  and  down  upon  the  mount- 
ains, and  bewail  my  virginity.  I 
and  my  fellows. 

38  And  he  said.  Go.  And  he 
sent  her  away  for  two  months: 
and  she  went  with  her  com- 
panions, and  bewailed  her  virgini- 
ty uix)n  the  mountains. 

39  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end 
of  two  months,  that  she  returned 
unto  her  father,  who  did  with  her 
according  to  his  vow  which  he  had 
vowed:  and  she  knew  no  man. 
And  it  was  a  custom  in  Israel, 

40  That  the  daughters  of  Israel 
went  yearly  to  lament  the  daugh- 
ter of  Jephthah  the  Gileadite  four 
days  in  a  year. 

SHIBBOLETH. 


Jephthah's  battle  with  his 
brother  Ephraimites,  42,000  slain. 

Ju.  12—1  And  the  men  of  Eph- 
raim  gathered  themselves  to- 
gether, and  went  northward,  and 
said  unto  Jephthah,  Wherefore 
passedst  thou  over  to  tight  against 
the  children  of  Amnion,  and 
didst  not  call  us  to  go  with  thee? 
we  will  burn  thine  house  upon 
thee  with  fire. 

2  And  Jephthah  said  imto  them, 
I  and  my  people  were  at  great 
strife  with  the  children  of  Am- 
nion ;  and  when  I  called  you,  ye 
delivered  me  not  out  of  their 
hands.  ,  ,. 

3  And  when  I  saw  that  ye  deliv- 
ered me  not,  I  put  my  life  in  my 
liand.s,  and  passed  over  against 
the  children  of  Ammon,  and  the 
Lord  delivered   them   into  my 


412 


hand :  wherefore  then  are  ye  come 
up  unto  me  this  day,  to  light 
against  me? 

4  Then  Jephthah  gathered  to- 
gether all  the  men  of  Gilead,  and 
tonght  with  Ephraim :  and  smote 
Ephraim,  because  they  said.  Ye 
Gileadites  are  fugitives  of  Eph- 
raim amongthe  Ephraimites,  and 
among  the  Manassites. 

5  And  the  Gileadites  took  the 
passages  of  Jordan  before  the 
Ephraimites:  and  it  was  so,  that 
when  those  Ephraimites  which 
were  escaped  said,  Let  me  go  over, 
that  the  men  of  Gilead  said  unto 
him.  Art  thou  an  Ephraimite?  If 
he  said.  Nay; 

6  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Say 
now  Shibboleth:  and  he  said  Sib- 
boleth:  for  he  could  not  frame  to 
pronounce  it  right.  Then  they 
took  him,  and  slew  him  at  the 
passages  of  Jordan:  and  there  fell 
at  that  time  of  the  Ephraimites 
forty  and  two  thousand. 

7  And  Jepthah  judged  Israel 
six  years.  Then  died  Jephthah 
the  Gileadite,  and  was  buried  in 
one  of  the  cities  of  Gilead. 

8  And  after  him  Ibzan  of  Beth- 
lehem judged  Israel. 

9  And  he  had  thirty  sons,  and 
thirty  daughters,  whom  he  .sent 
abroad,  and  took  in  thirty  daugli- 
ters  from  abroad  for  his  sons. 
And  he  iudged  Israel  seven  years. 

13  And  after  him  Abdou  the 
son  of  Hillel,  judged  Israel. 

14  And  he  had  forty  sons  and 
thirty  nephews,  that  rode  on 
threescore  and  ten  ass  colts:  and 
he  judged  Israel  eight  years. 

Ju.  10—3  And  Jair,  a  Gileadite, 
judged  Israel  twenty  and  two 
years. 

4  And  he  had  thirty  sons  that 
rode  on  thkty  ass  colts,  and  they 
had  thirty  cities. 

Samson's  great  victory,  1,000 
slatii.  See  also  Shamgar's  victory, 
600  slain,  Ju.  3.  31,  p.  407.  and  Da- 
vid's mighty  men,  2  Sa.  23,  p.  429. 

Jn.l5— 14  And  when  became  unto 
Lehi,  the  Philistines  shouted 
against  him :  and  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  came  mightily  upon  him, 

15  And  he  found  a  new  jawbone 
of  an  ass,  and  put  forth  his  hand, 
and  took  it,  and  slew  a  thousand 
men  therewith.  Ju.  15.  8  and  16. 
30,  p.  358,  359. 


16  And  Samson  said.  With  the 
jawbone  of  an  ass,  heaps  upon 
heaps.with  the  jaw  of  an  ass  have 
I  slain  a  thousand  men. 

17  And  when  he  had  made  an 
end  of  speaking,  he  cast  away  the 
jawbone  out  of  his  hand. 

18  And  he  was  sore  athirst,  and 
called  on  the  Lord,  and  said. 
Thou  has  given  this  great  deliv- 
erance into  the  hand  of  thy  ser- 
vant :  andnowshall  I  die  for  thirst, 
and  fall  into  the  hand  of  the  un- 
circumcised  ? 

19  But  God  clave  a  hollow  place 
that  was  in  the  jaw,  and  there 
came  water  thereout;  and  when 
he  had  drunk,  his  spirit  came 
again,  and  he  revived. 

20  And  he  judged  Israel  in  the 
days  of  the  Philistines  twenty 
years. 

The  Levite's  concubine.  She  is 
ravished  to  death  by  her  Jewish 
brothers  of  the  tribe  of  Benjamin, 
then  cut  into  twelve  pieces  by  the 
Levite,  and  a  piece  sent  to  each  of 
the  twelve  tribes.  This  caused  a 
war,inwhich65,000men  were  slain. 

J«.  19—1  And  in  those  days,when 
there  was  no  king  in  Israel,  a  cer- 
tain Levite  sojourning  on  the  side 
of  mount  Ephraim, took  him  a  con- 
cubine out  of  Beth-lehem-judah. 

2  And  his  concubine  played  the 
whore  against  him.and  went  away 
from  him  imto  her  father's  house 
to  Beth-lehem-judah,  and  was 
there  four  whole  months. 

3  And  her  husband  arose,  and 
went  after  her,  to  speak  friendly 
unto  her,  and  to  bring  her  again, 
having  his  servant  with  him,  and 
a  couple  of  asses:  and  she  brought 
him  into  her  father's  house ;  and 
when  the  father  of  the  damsel  saw 
him,  he  rejoiced  to  meet  him. 

4  And  his  father  in  law,  retained 
him  three  days:  so  they  did  eat 
and  drink,  and  lodged  there. 

10  And  he  rose  up  and  departed, 
and  came  over  against  Jehus, 
which  is  Jerusalem ;  and  there 
were  with  him  two  asses  saddled, 
his  concubine  also  was  witli  him. 

11  And  when  they  were  by  Jehus, 
the  day  was  far  spent;  and  the 
servant  said  untohismaster.Come, 
I  pravthee,  and  let  us  turn  in  into 
this  city  of  the  Jebusites,  and 
lodge  in  it.  •'•»»i  uoc

12  And  his  master  said  unto 
him,  We  will  not  turn  aside  hitlier 
into  the  city  of  a  stranger,  that  is 
not  of  the  children  of  Israel;  we 
will  pass  over  to  Gibeah. 

16  And,  behold,  there  came  an 
old  man  from  his  work  out  of  the 
field  at  even,  which  was  also  of 
mount  Ephraim ;  and  he  sojourn- 
ed in  Gibeah ;  but  the  men  of  the 
place  were  Benjamites. 

20  And  the  old  man  said,  Peace 
be  with  thee;  howsoever,  let  all 
thy  wants  lie  upon  me ;  only  lodge 
not  in  the  street. 

21  So  he  brought  him  into  his 
house,  and  gave  provender  unto 
the  asses:  and  they  washed  their 
feet,  and  did  eat  and  drink. 

22  Now  as  they  were  making 
their  hearts  merry,  behold,  the 
men  of  the  city,  certain  sons  of 
Belial,  beset  the  house  round 
about,  and  beat  at  the  door,  and 
spake  to  the  master  of  the  house, 
the  old  man,  saymg.  Bring  forth 
the  man  that  came  into  thine 
house,  that  we  may  know  him. 

The  men  that  made  this  request 
were  Jews  of  the  tribe  of  Benja- 
min :  they  were  Sodomites  by  na- 
ture, and  no  better  than  the  men 
of  Sodom,  Gomorrah,  Admah, 
and  Zeboin,  whom  the  Lord  de- 
stroyed by  tire  and  brimstone 
about  eight  hundred  years  before 
this  time.    See  Ge.  19.  5,  p.  40. 

23  And  the  man,  the  master  of 
the  house,  went  out  unto  them, 
and  said  unto  them.  Nay,  my 
brethren,  nay,  I  pray  you,  do  not 
so  wickedly;  seeing  that  this  man 
is  come  into  mine  house,  do  not 
this  folly. 

24  Behold,  here  is  my  daughter  a 
maiden,  and  his  concubine ;  them 
I  will  bring  out  now,  and  humble 
ye  them,  and  do  with  them  what 
seemeth  good  unto  you :  but  unto 
this  man  do  not  so  vile  a  thing. 

25  But  the  men  would  not  lieark- 
en  to  him:  so  the  man  took  his 
concubine,  and  brought  her  forth 
unto  them;  and  they  knew  her, 
and  abused  her  all  the  night  until 
the  morning:  and  when  the  day 
began  to  spring,  they  let  her  go. 

26  Then  came  the  woman  in  the 
dawning  of  the  day,  and  fell  down 
at  the  door  of  the  man's  house 
where  her  lord  was,  till  it  was 
light. 


27  And  her  lord  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  opened  the  doors  of 
the  house,  and  went  out  to  go  his 
way:  and,  behold,  the  woman  his 
concubine  was  fallen  down  at  the 
door  of  the  house,  and  her  hands 
were  upon  the  threshold. 

28  And  he  said  unto  her.  Up,  and 
let  us  be  going.  But  none  an- 
swered. Then  the  man  took  her 
up  upon  an  ass,  and  the  man  rose 
up,  and  gat  him  unto  his  place. 

29  *!  And  when  he  was  come  into 
his  house,  he  took  a  knife,  and 
laid  hold  on  his  concubine,  and 
divided  her,  together  with  her 
bones,  into  twelve  pieces,  and  sent 
her  into  all  the  coasts  of  Israel. 

30  And  it  was  so,  that  all  that 
saw  it  said.  There  was  no  such 
deed  done  nor  seen  from  the  day 
that  the  children  of  Israel  came 
up  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt  unto 
this  day:  consider  of  it,  take  ad- 
vice, and  speak  your  minds. 

Ju.  20—1  Then  all  the  children 
of  Israel  went  out,  and  the  con- 
gregation was  gathered  together 
as  one  man,  from  Dan  even  to 
Beersheba,  with  the  land  of  Gile- 
ad,  unto  the  Lord  in  Mizpeh. 

2  And  the  chief  of  all  the  people, 
even  of  all  the  tribes  of  Israel, 
presented  themselves  in  the  as- 
sembly of  the  people  of  God,  four 
hundred  thousand  footmen  that 
drew  sword. 

12  And  the  tribes  of  Israel  sent 
men  through  all  the  tribe  of  Ben- 
jamin, saying.  What  wickedness 
IS  this  that  is  done  among  you? 

13  Now  therefore  deliver  us  the 
men,  the  children  of  Belial,  which 
are  in  Gibeah,  that  we  may  put 
them  to  death,  and  put  away  evil 
from  Israel.  But  the  children  of 
Benjamin  would  not  hearken  to 
the  voice  of  their  brethren  the 
children  of  Israel: 

14  But  the  children  of  Benjamin 
gathered  themselves  together  out 
of  the  cities  unto  Gibeah,  to  go 
out  to  battle  against  the  children 
of  Israel. 

15  And  the  children  of  Benjamin 
were  numbered  at  that  time  out 
of  the  cities  twenty  and  six  thou- 
sand men  that  drew  sword,  be- 
sides the  inhabitants  of  Gibeah, 
which  were  numbered  seven  hun- 
dred chosen  men. 

16  Among  all  this  people  there 
were  seven  hundred  chosen  men 
lefthanded ;  every  one  could  sling 


414 


Stones  at  a  hair  breadth,  and  not 
miss. 

17  And  the  men  of  Israel,  besides 
Benjamin,  were  numbered  four 
hundred  thousand  men  that  drew 
sword :  all  tliese  were  men  of  war. 

18  And  the  children  of  Israel 
arose,  and  went  up  to  the  house 
of  God,  and  asked  counsel  of  God, 
and  said.  Which  of  us  shall  go  up 
first  to  the  battle  against  the  chil- 
dren of  Benjamin?  And  the  Lord 
said,  Judah  shall  go  up  first. 

20  And  the  men  of  Israel  went 
out  to  battle  against  Benjamin; 
and  the  men  of  Israel  put  them- 
selves in  array  to  fight  against 
them  at  Gibeah. 

21  And  the  children  of  Benjamin 
came  forth  out  of  Gibeah,  and 
destroyed  down  to  the  ground  of 
the  Israelites  that  day  twenty  and 
two  thousand  men. 

"3  (And  the  children  of  Israel 
went  up  and  wept  before  the  Lord 
until  even,  and  asked  counsel  of 
the  Lord,  saying.  Shall  I  go  up 
again  to  battle  against  the  chil- 
dren of  Benjamin  my  brother? 
And  the  Lord  said.  Go  up  against 
him.) 

24  And  the  children  of  Israel 
came  near  against  the  children  of 
Benjamin  the  second  day. 

25  And  Benjamin  went  forth 
against  them  out  of  Gibeah  the 
second  day,  and  destroyed  down 
to  the  ground  of  the  children  of 
Israel  again  eighteen  thousand 
men ;  all  these  drew  the  sword, 

27  And  the  children  of  Israel  in- 
quired of  the  Lord,  (for  the  ark 
of  the  covenant  of  God  was  there 
in  those  days, 

28  And  Phinehas,  the  son  of 
Eleazar,  the  son  of  Aaron,  stood 
before  it  in  those  days,)  saying. 
Shall  I  yet  again  go  out  to  battle 
against  the  children  of  Benjamin 
my  brother,  or  shall  I  cease?  And 
the  Lord  said.  Go  up;  for  to  mor- 
row I  will  deliver  them  into  thine 
hand. 

30  And  the  children  of  Israel 
went  up  against  the  children  of 
Benjamin  on  the  third  day,  and 
piit  themselves  in  array  against 
Gibeah,  as  at  other  times. 

31  And  the  children  of  Benjamin 
went  out  against  the  peoplCj  and 
were  drawn  away  from  the  city. 

38  Now  there  was  an  appointed 
sign  between  the  men  of  Israel 
and  the  liers  in  wait,  that  they 


should  make  a  great  flame  with 
smoke  rise  up  out  of  the  city. 

39  And  when  the  men  of  Israel 
retired  in  the  battle,  Benjamin 
began  to  smite  and  kill  of  the 
men  of  Israel  about  thirty  per- 
sons: for  they  said.  Surely  they 
are  smitten  down  before  us,  as  in 
the  first  battle. 

40  But  when  the  flame  began  to 
arise  up  out  of  the  city  with  a 
pillar  of  smoke,  the  Beniamites 
looked  behind  them,  and,  behold, 
the  flame  of  the  city  ascended  up 
to  heaven. 

42  Therefore  they  turned  their 
backs  before  the  men  of  Israel  un- 
to the  way  of  the  wilderness ;  but 
the  battle  overtook  them;  and 
them  which  came  out  of  the  cities 
they  destroyed  in  the  midst  of 
them. 

43  Thus  they  inclosed  the  Ben- 
jamites  roimd  about,  and  chased 
them,  and  trode  them  down  with 
ease  over  against  Gibeah  toward 
the  sunrisiug. 

44  And  there  fell  of  Benjamin 
eighteen  thousand  men. 

45  And  they  turned  and  fled 
toward  the  wilderness  unto  the 
rock  of  Rimmon:  and  they  glean- 
ed of  them  in  the  highways  five 
thousand  men ;  and  pursued  hard 
after  them  unto  Gidom,  and  slew 
two  thousand  men  of  them. 

46  So  that  all  which  fell  that 
day  of  Benjamin  were  twenty  and 
five  thousand  men  that  drew  the 
sword;  all  these  were  men  of 
valour. 

47  But  six  hundred  men  turned 
and  fled  to  the  wilderness  unto 
the  rock  Rimmon,  and  abode  in 
tbe  rock  Rimmon  four  months. 

48  And  the  men  of  Israel  turned 
again  upon  the  children  of  Benja- 
min, and  smote  them  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword,  as  well  the  men 
of  every  city,  as  the  beast,  and  all 
that  cameto  hand :  also  they  set  on 
fire  all  the  cities thattheycameto. 

A  cruel  and  inhuman  way  to 
provide  wives  for  the  defeated 
Benjamites. 

Ju.  21—1  Now  the  men  of  Israel 
had  sworn,  saying.  There  shall 
not  any  of  us  give  his  daughter 
unto  Benjamin  to  wife. 

2  And  the  people  came  to  the 
house  of  God,  and  abode  there  till 
even  before  God,  and  lifted  up 
their  voices,  and  wept  sore ; 


415 


3  And  said,  O  Lord  God  of  Is- 
rael, why  is  tliis  come  to  pass  in 
Israel,  that  there  should  be  to  day 
one  tribe  lacking  in  Israel? 

6  And  the  children  of  Israel  re- 
pented them  for  Benjamin  their 
brother,  and  said.  There  is  one 
tribe  cut  off  from  Israel  this  day. 

7  How  shall  we  do  for  wives  for 
them  that  remain,  seeing  we  have 
swoni  by  the  Lord,  that  we  will 
not  give  them  of  our  daughters  to 
wives? 

8  And  they  said.  What  one  is 
there  of  the  tribes  of  Israel  that 
came  not  up  to  Mizpeh  to  the 
Lord?  And,  behold,  there  came 
none  to  the  camp  from  Jabesh- 
gilead  to  the  assembly. 

10  And  the  congregation  sent 
thither  twelve  thousand  men  of 
the  valiantest,  and  commanded 
them,  saying.  Go  and  smite  the 
inhabitants  of  Jabesh-gilead  with 
the  edge  of  the  sword,  with  the 
women  and  the  children. 

11  And  this  is  the  thing  that  ye 
shall  do.  Ye  shall  utterly  destroy 
every  male,  and  every  woman 
that  hath  lain  by  man. 

12  And  they  found  among  the 
inhabitants  of  Jabesh-gilead  four 
liundred  young  virgins,  that  had 
known  no  man  by  lying  with  any 
male:  and  they  brought  them  un- 
to the  camp  to  Shiloh,  which  is  in 
the  land  of  Canaan. 

13  And  the  whole  congregation 
sent  some  to  speak  to  the  children 
of  Benjamin  that  were  in  the  rock 
Rimmon,  and  to  call  peaceably 
unto  them. 

14  And  Benjamin  came  again  at 
that  time;  and  they  gave  them 
wives  which  they  h;id  saved  alive 
of  the  women  of  Jabesh-gilead: 
and  yet  so  they  sufficed  them  not. 

19  Then  they  said.  Behold,  there 
is  a  feast  of  the  Lord  in  Shiloh 
yearly,  in  a  place  which  is  on  the 
north  side  of  Beth-el,  on  the  east 
side  of  the  highway  that  goeth  up 
from  Beth-el  to  Shechem,  and  on 
the  south  of  Lebonah. 

20  Therefore  they  commanded 
the  children  of  Benjamin,  saying. 
Go  and  lie  in  wait  in  the  vine- 
yards ; 

21  And,  if  the  daughters  of 
Shiloh  come  out  to  dance  in 
dances,  then  come  ye  out  of  the 
vineyards,  and  catch  you  every 
man  his  wife  of  the  daughters 
of  Shiloh,  and  go  to  the  land 
of  Benjamin. 


23  And  the  children  of  Benjamin 
did  so,  and  took  them  wives,  ac- 
cording to  their  number,  of  them 
that  danced,  whom  they  caught: 
and  they  went  and  returned  unto 
their  inheritance,  and  repaired 
the  cities,  and  dwelt  in  them. 

25  In  those  days  there  was  no 
king  in  Israel :  every  man  did  that 
which  was  right  in  his  own  eyes. 

The  lirst  battle  of  Ebenezer, 
M,()00  slain.  The  ark  of  the  cove- 
nant taken  and  returned  by  the 
Philistines.  After  its  return  the 
Jewish  people  looked  into  it,  and 
for  so  doing  the  Lord  slew  50,000 
of  them  (ark  of  the  covenant, 
Ex.  25.  10-16,  p.  49).  Death  of  Eli 
the  priest. 

1  Sa.  4—1  And  the  word  of 
Samuel  came  to  all  Israel.  Now 
Israel  went  out  against  the  Philis- 
tines to  battle,  and  pitched  beside 
Eben-ezer:  and  the  Philistines 
pitched  in  Aphek. 

2  And  the  Philistines  put  them- 
selves in  array  against  Israel:  and 
when  they  joined  battle,  Israel 
was  sm  itten  before  the  Philistines : 
and  they  slew  of  the  army  in  the 
field  about  four  thousand  men. 

3  And  when  the  people  were 
come  into  the  camp,  the  elders  of 
Israel  said,  Wherefore  hath  the 
Lord  smitten  us  to  day  before  the 
Philistines?  Let  us  fetch  the  ark 
of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  out 
of  Shiloh  unto  us,  that,  when  it 
cometh  among  us,  it  may  save  us 
out  of  the  hand  of  our  enemies. 

5  And  when  the  ark  of  the  cove- 
nant of  the  Lord  came  into  the 
camp,  all  Israel  shouted  with  a 
great  shout,  so  thatthe  earth  rang. 

10  And  the  Philistines  fought, 
and  Israel  was  smitten,  and  they 
fled  every  man  into  his  tent:  and 
there  was  a  very  great  slaughter; 
for  there  fell  of  Israel  thirty  thou- 
sand footmen. 

11  And  the  ark  of  God  was  tak- 
en ;  and  the  two  sons  of  Eli,  Hoph- 
ni  and  Phinehas,  were  slain. 

15  Now  Eli  was  ninety  and  eight 
years  old  ;  and  his  eyes  were  dim, 
that  he  could  not  see. 

16  And  the  man  said  unto  Eli,  I 
am  he  that  came  out  of  the  army. 

17  And  he,  Israel,  is  fled  before 
the  Philistines,  and  there  hath 
been  a  great  slaughter,  and  thy 
two  sons,  Hophni  and  Phinehas, 
are  dead,  and  the  ark  of  God  is 
taken. 


416 


18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
nrade  mention  of  the  ark  of  God, 
that  he  fell  from  off  the  seat  back- 
ward by  the  side  of  the  gate,  and 
hisueck  brake,  and  he  died:  for  he 
was  an  old  man,  and  heavy.  And 
he  had  judged  Israel  forty  years. 

I  Sa.  6—1  And  the  ark  of  the 
Lord  was  in  the  country  of  the 
Philistines  seven  mouths. 

19  And  he  smote  the  men  of 
Beth-shemesh,  because  they  had 
looked  into  the  ark  of  the  Lord, 
even  he  smote  of  the  people  fifty 
thousand  and  threescore  and  ten 
men. 

21  And^;hey  sent  messengers  to 
Kirjath-jearim,  saying.  The  Phi- 
listines have  brought  again  the 
ark  of  the  Lord  ;  come  ye  down, 
and  fetch  it  up  to  you. 

The  second  battle  of  Ebenezer. 
The  thunder  battle. 

l'  Sa.  7—9  And  Samuel  took  a 
sucking  lamb,  and  offered  it  for 
a  burnt  offermg  wholly  unto  the 
Lord  :  and  Samuel  cried  unto  the 
Lord  for  Israel;  and  the  Lord 
heard  him. 

10  And  as  Samuel  was  offering 
\ip  the  bumt,offering,  the  Philis- 
tines drew  near  to  battle  against 
Israel:  but  the  Lord  thundered 
with  a  great  thunder  on  that  day 
upon  the  Philistines,  and  discom- 
fited them ;  and  they  were  smitten 
before  Israel. 

II  And  the  men  of  Israel  pursued 
the  Philistines,  and  smote  them, 
until  they  came  under  Beth-car. 

12  Then  Samuel  took  a  stone, 
and  set  it  between  Mizpeh  and 
Shen,  and  called  the  name  of  it 
Eben-ezer,  saying.  Hitherto  hath 
the  Lord  helped  us. 

SAUL'S  FIRST  BATTLE. 

1  Sa.  11—1  Then  Nahash  the  Am- 
monite came  up,  and  encamped 
against  Jabesh-gilead:  and  all 
the  men  of  Jabesh  said  mito  Na- 
hash, Make  a  covenant  with  us, 
and  we  will  serve  thee. 

2  And  Nahash  the  Ammonite  an- 
swered them.  On  this  condition 
will  I  make  a  covenant  with  you, 
that  I  may  thrust  out  all  your 
right  eyes,  and  lay  it  for  a  re- 
proach upon  all  Israel. 

4  Then  came  the  messengers  to 
Gibeah  of  Saul,  and  told  the  ti- 
dings in  the  ears  of  the  people: 


and  all  the  people  lifted  up  their 
voices,  and  wept. 

5  And,  behold,  Saul  came  after 
the  herd  out  of  the  field ;  and  Saul 
said.  What  aileth  the  people  that 
they  weep?  And  they  told  him 
the  tidings  of  the  men  of  Jabesh. 

6  And  the  Spirit  of  God  came 
upon  Saul  when  he  heard  those 
tidings,  and  his  auger  was  kindled 
greatly. 

7  And  he  took  a  yoke  of  oxen, 
and  hewed  them  in  pieces,  and 
sent  them  throughout  all  the 
coasts  of  Israel  by  the  hands  of 
messengers,  saying.  Whosoever 
cometh  not  forth  after  Saul  and 
after  Samuel,  so  shall  it  be  done 
unto  his  oxen.  And  the  fear  of  the 
Lord  fell  on  the  people,  and  they 
came  out  with  oue  consent. 

8  And  when  he  numbered  them 
in  Bezek,  the  children  of  Israel 
were  three  hundred  thousand, and 
the  men  of  Judah  thirty  thousand. 

11  And  it  was  so  on  the  morrow, 
that  Saul  put  the  people  in  three 
companies;  and  they  came  into 
the  midst  of  the  host  in  the  morn- 
ing watch,  and  slew  the  Ammon- 
ites until  the  heat  of  the  day:  and 
it  came  to  pass,  that  they  which 
remained  were  scattered,  so  that 
two  of  them  werenot  left  together. 

Saul's  second  battle,  and  there 
he  made  his  fatal  mistake;  and 
for  so  doing  the  Lord  rejected 
him,  and  cliose  David,  a  man 
after  his  own  heart,  to  be  king 
over  all  Israel  in  his  place. 

1  Sa.  13—1  Saul  reigned  one  year ; 
and  when  he  had  reigned  two 
years  over  Israel, 

2  Saul  chose  him  three  thousand 
men  of  Israel;  whereof  two  thou- 
sand were  with  Saul  in  Michmash 
and  in  mount  Beth-el,  and  a  thou- 
sand were  with  Jonathan  in  Gib- 
eah of  Benjamin :  and  the  rest  of 
the  people  he  sent  every  man  to 
his  tent. 

5  And  the  Philistines  gathered 
themselves  together  to  fight  with 
Israel,  thirty  thousand  chariots, 
and  SIX  thousand  horsemen,  and 
people  as  the  sand  which  is  on  the 
sea  shore  in  multitude:  and  they 
came  up,  and  pitched  in  Mich- 
mash. 

6  When  the  men  of  Israel  saw 
that  they  were  in  a  strait,  (for  the 
people  were  distressed,)  then  the 
people  did  hide  themselves  in 
caves,  and   in   thickets,  and  in 


417 


rocks,  and  in  high  places,  and  in 
pits. 

7  And  some  of  the  Hebrews  went 
over  Jordan  to  the  laud  of  Gad 
and  Gilead.  As  for  Saul,  he  was 
yet  in  Gilgal,  and  all  the  people 
followed  him  trembling. 

8  And  he  tarried  seven  days, 
according  to  the  set  time  that 
Samuel  had  appouited:  but  Sam- 
uel came  not  to  Gilgal;  and 
tlie  people  were  scattered  from 
him. 

9  And  Saul  said.  Bring  hither  a 
burnt  offering  to  me,  and  peace 
offermgs.  And  he  oiTered  the 
burnt  offering. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  as 
soon  as  he  had  made  an  end  of 
offering  the  biu-nt  offering,  be- 
hold, Samuel  came;  and  Saul 
went  out  to  meet  him,  that  he 
might  salute  him. 

11  And  Samuel  said.  What  hast 
thou  done?  And  Saul  said.  Be- 
cause I  saw  that  the  people  were 
scattered  from  me,  and  that  thou 
camest  not  within  the  days  ap- 
pouited, and  that  the  Philistines 
gathered  themselves  together  at 
Michmash: 

12  Therefore  said  I,  The  Philis- 
tines will  come  down  now  upon 
me  to  Gilgal,  and  I  have  not  made 
supplication  unto  the  Lord:  I 
forced  myself  therefore,  and  of- 
fered a  burnt  offermg. 

13  And  Samuel  said  to  Saul, 
Thou  hast  done  foolishly:  thou 
hast  not  kept  the  commandment 
of  the  Lord  thy  God,  which  he 
commanded  thee:  for  now  would 
the  Lord  have  established  thy 
kingdom  upon  Israel  for  ever. 

14  But  now  thy  kingdom  shall 
not  contmue:  the  Lord  hath 
sought  him  a  man  after  his  own 
lieart,  and  the  Lord  hath  com- 
manded him  to  be  captain  over 
his  people,  because  thou  hast  not 
kept  that  which  the  Lord  com- 
manded thee. 

15  And  Samuel  arose,  and  gat 
him  up  from  Gilgal  unto  Gibeah 
of  Benjamin.  And  Saul  numbered 
the  people  that  were  present  with 
him,  about  six  hundred  men. 

16  And  Saul,  and  Jonathan  his 
son,  and  the  people  that  were  pres- 
ent with  them,  abode  in  GiBeah 
of  Benjamin;  hut  the  Philistines 
encamped  in  Michmash.    p.  276. 

Jonathan's  wonderful  and  mi- 
raculous victory. 


1  Sa.  14—6  And  Jonathan  said  to 
the  young  man  that  bare  his 
armour.  Come,  and  let  us  go  over 
unto  the  garrison  of  these  iiucu*- 
cumcised:  it  may  be  that  the 
Lord  will  work  for  us:  for  there 
is  no  restraint  to  the  Lord  to  save 
by  many  or  by  few. 

7  And  his  armourbearer  said  un- 
to him,  Do  all  that  is  in  thy  heart : 
turn  thee ;  behold,  I  am  with  thee 
according  to  thy  heart. 

13  And  Jonathan  climbed  up 
upon  his  hands  and  upon  his  feet, 
and  his  armourbearer  after  him : 
and  they  fell  before  Jonathan; 
and  his  armourbearer  slew  after 
him. 

14  And  that  first  slaughter, 
which  Jonathan  and  his  armour- 
bearer  made,  was  about  twenty 
men,  within  as  it  were  a  half  acre 
of  land,  which  a  yoke  of  oxen 
might  plough. 

15  And  there  was  trembling  in 
the  host,  in  the  field,  and  among 
all  the  people :  the  garrison,  and 
the  spoilers,  they  also  trembled, 
and  the  earth  quaked:  so  it  was 
a  very  great  trembling. 

16  And  the  watchmen  of  Saul  in 
Gibeah  of  Benjamin  looked ;  and, 
behold,  the  multitude  melted 
away,  and  they  went  on  beating 
down  one  another. 

20  And  Saul  and  all  the  people 
that  were  with  him  assembled 
themselves,  and  they  came  to  the 
battle:  and,  behold,  every  man's 
sword  was  against  his  fellow,  and 
there  was  a  very  great  discomfi- 
ture. 

23  So  the  Lord  saved  Israel  that 
day:  and  the  battle  passed  over 
unto  Beth-aven. 

24  And  the  men  of  Israel  were 
distressed  that  day :  for  Saul  had 
adjured  the  people,  saying, Cursed 
be  the  man  that  eateth  any  food 
until  evening,  that  I  may  be 
avenged  on  mine  enemies.  So 
noneof  the  people  tasted  any  food. 

25  And  all  they  of  the  land 
came  to  a  wood;  and  there  was 
honey  upon  the  ground. 

26  And,  behold,  the  honey 
dropped ;  but  no  man  put  his  hand 
tohis mouth:  forthe people  feared 
the  oath. 

27  But  Jonathan  heard  not  wh  en 
liis  father  charged  the  people  with 
the  oath:  wherefore  he  put  forth 
the  end  of  the  rod  that  was  in  his 
hand,  and  dipped,  it  in  a  honey- 
comb, and  put  his  hand  to  his 


418 


mouth ;  and  his  eyes,  were  enlight- 
ened. 

28  Then  answered  one  of  the 
people,  and  said,  Thy  fatherstrait- 
ly  charged  the  people  with  an 
oath,  saying.  Cursed  be  the  man 
that  eateth  any  food  this  day. 

29  Then  said  Jonathan,  My 
father  hath  troubled  the  land: 
see,  I  pray  you,  how  mine  eyes 
have  been  enlightened,  because 
1  tasted  a  little  of  this  honey. 

30  How  much  more,  if  haply  the 
people  had  eaten  freely  to  day  of 
the  spoil  of  their  enemies  which 
they  found?  for  had  there  not 
been  now  a  much  greater  slaugh- 
ter among  the  Philistines? 

31  And  they  smote  the  Philis- 
tines that  day  from  Michmash  to 
Aijalon. 

36  And  Saul  said.  Let  us  go  down 
after  the  Philistines  by  night,  and 
spoil  them  until  the  nioming 
light,  and  let  us  not  leave  a  man 
ofthem.  And  they  said.  Do  what- 
soever seemeth  good  unto  thee. 
Then  said  the  priest,  Let  us  draw 
near  hither  unto  God. 

37  And  Saul  asked  counsel  of 
God,  Shall  I  go  down  after  the 
Philistines?  wilt  thou  deliver 
them  into  the  hand  of  Israel? 
But  he  answered  him  not  that 
day. 

38  And  Saul  said,  Draw  ye  near 
hither,  all  the  chief  of  the  people : 
and  know  and  see  wherein  this 
sin  hath  been  this  day. 

39  For  as  the  Lord  liveth,  which 
saveth  Israel,  though  it  be  in  Jon- 
athan my  son,  he  shall  surely  die. 
But  there  was  not  a  man  among 
all  the  people  that  answered  him. 

40  Then  said  he  unto  all  Israel, 
Be  ye  on  one  side,  and  I  and  Jon- 
athan will  be  on  the  other  side. 
And  the  people  said  unto  Saul,  Do 
what  seemeth  good  unto  thee. 

41  Therefore  Saul  said  unto  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel,  Give  a  perfect 
lot.  And  Saul  and  Jonathan  were 
taken:  but  the  people  escaped. 

42  And  Saul  said.  Cast  lots  be- 
tween me  and  Jonathan  my  son. 
And  Jonathan  was  taken. 

43  Then  Saul  said  to  Jonathan, 
Tell  me  what  thou  hast  done. 
And  Jonathan  told  him,  and  said, 
1  did  but  taste  a  little  honey  with 
the  end  of  the  rod  that  was  in 
mine  hand,  and,  lo,  I  must  die. 

44  And  Saul  answered,  God  do 
so  and  more  also:  for  thou  shall 
surely  die,  Jonathan. 


45  And  the  people 'said  unto 
Saul,  Shall  Jonathan  die,  who 
hath  wrought  this  great  salvatioii 
in  Israel?  God  forbid:  as  the 
Lord  liveth,  there  shall  not  one 
hair  of  his  head  fall  to  the  ground . 
So  the  people  rescued  Jonathan, 
that  he  died  not. 

46  Then  Savil  went  up  from  fol- 
lowing the  Philistines:  and  the 
Philistines  went  to  their  own 
place. 

47  So  Saul  took  the  kingdom 
over  Israel,  and  fought  against 
all  his  enemies  on  every  side. 

48  And  he  gathered  a  host,  and 
smote  the  Amalekites,  and  deliv- 
ered Israel  out  of  the  hands  of 
them  that  spoiled  them.  See  also 
1  Chr.  5. 18-22. 

The  Lord's  command  to  Saul, 
"Smite  Amalek,  slay  both  man 
and  woman,  infant  and  suckling, 
ox  and  sheep,  camel  and  ass." 

1  Sa.  15—1  Samuel  also  said  unto 
Saul,  The  Lord  sent  me  to  anoint 
thee  to  be  king  over  his  people, 
over  Israel :  now  thereforehearken 
thou  unto  the  voice  of  the  words 
of  the  Lord. 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
I  remember  that  which  Amalek 
did  to  Israel,  how  he  laid  wait  for 
him  in  the  way,  when  he  came  up 
fi-om  Egypt. 

3  Now  go  and  smite  Amalek, 
and  utterly  destroy  all  that  they 
have,  and  spare  them  not;  but 
slay  both  man  and  woman,  infant 
and  suckling.ox  and  sheep,  camel 
and  ass. 

4  And  Saul  gathered  the  people 
together,  and  numbered  them  in 
Telaim,  two  hundred  thousand 
footmen,  and  ten  thousand  men 
of  Jixdah. 

7  And  Saul  smote  the  Amale- 
kites from  Havilah  luitil  thou 
comest  toShur,  that  isoveragainst 
Egypt. 

8  And  he  took  Agag  the  kmg  of 
the  Amalekites  alive,  and  vitterly 
destroyed  all  the  people  with  the 
edge  of  the  sword. 

9  But  Saul  and  the  people  spared 
Agag,  and  the  best  of  the  sheep, 
and  of  the  oxen,  and  of  the  fat- 
lings,  and  the  lambs,  and  all  that 
was  good,  and  would  not  utterly 
destroy  them:  but  every  thing 
that  was  vile  and  refuse,  that  they 
destroved  utterly. 

10  t  Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  Samuel,  saying, 


419 


11  It  repenteth  nie  that  I  have 
set  up  Saul  to  be  khie:  for  he  is 
turned  back  from  following  me, 
and  hath  not  performed  mv  com- 
mandments. And  it  grieved  Sam- 
iiel ;  and  he  cried  unto  the  Lord 
all  night. 

13  And  Samuel  came  to  Saul: 
and  Saul  said  unto  him,  Blessed 
be  thou  of  the  Lord  :  I  have  per- 
formed the  commandment  of  the 
Lord. 

14  And  Samuel  said,  What  mean- 
eth  then  this  bleating  of  the  sheep 
in  mine  ears,  and  the  lowing  of 
the  oxen  which  I  hear? 

19  Wherefore  then  didst  thou 
not  obey  the  voice  of  the  Lord, 
but  didst  fly  upon  the  spoil,  and 
didst  evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord? 

20  And  Saul  said  unto  Samuel, 
Yea,  I  have  obeyed  the  voice  of 
the  Lord,  and  have  gone  the  way 
which  the  Lord  sent  me,  and 
have  brought  Agag  the  king  of 
Auiaiek,  and  have  utterly  de- 
stroyed the  Amalekites. 

21  But  the  people  took  of  the 
spoil,  sheep  and  oxen,  the  chief  of 
thethingswhich  should  have  been 
vitterly  destroyed,  to  sacrifice  unto 
the  Lord  thy  God  in  Gilgal. 

22  And  Samuel  said,  Hath  the 
Lord  as  great  delight  in  burnt 
offerings  and  sacrifices,  as  in  obey- 
ing the  voice  of  the  Lord? 

24  And  Saul  said  unto  Samuel, 
I  have  sinned :  for  I  have  trans- 
gressed the  commandment  of  the 
Lord,  and  thy  words:  because  I 
feared  the  people,  and  obeyed 
their  voice. 

25  Now  -therefore,  I  pray  thee, 
pardon  my  sin,  and  tiirn  again 
with  me,  that  1  may  worship  the 
Lord. 

26  And  Samuel  said  unto  Saul,  I 
will  not  return  with  thee:  for 
thou  hast  rejected  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  Lord  hath  reject- 
ed thee  from  being  king  over  Is- 
rael. 

27  And  as  Samuel  turned  about 
to  go  away,  he  laid  hold  upon  the 
skirt  of  his  mantle,  aud  it  rent. 

28  And  Samuel  said  unto  him. 
The  Lord  hath  rent  the  kingdom 
of  Israel  from  thee  this  day,  and 
hath  given  it  to  a  neighbour  of 
thine,  that  is  better  than  thou. 

29  And  also  the  Strength  of  Is- 
rael will  not  lie  nor  repent:  for 
he  is  not  a  man,  that  he  should 
repent. 


30  Then  he  said,  I  have  sinned: 
yet  honoiu'  nie  now,  I  pray  thee, 
before  the  elders  of  my  people, 
and  before  Israel,  and  turn  again 
with  me,  that  I  may  worship  the 
Lord  thy  (xod. 

^  31  So  Samuel  turned  again  after 
Saul ;  and  Saul  worshipped  the 
Lord. 

32  IT  Then  said  Samuelj  Bring  ye 
hither  to  me  Agag  the  king  of  the 
Amalekites.  And  Agag  came  un- 
to him  delicately.  And  Agag  said. 
Surely  the  bitterness  of  death  is 
past. 

33  And  Samuel  said.  As  thy 
sword  hath  made  women  child- 
less, so  shall  thy  mother  be  child- 
less among  women.  And  Samuel 
hewed  Agag  in  pieces  before  the 
Lord  in  Gilgal. 

34  Then  Samuel  went  to  Ka- 
mah;  and  Saul  went  up  to  his 
house  to  Gibeah  of  Saul. 

35  And  Samuel  came  no  more  to 
see  Saul  until  the  day  of  his  death : 
nevertheless  Samuel  mourned  for 
Saul :  and  the  Lord  repented  that 
he  had  made  Saul  king  over  Israel. 

DAVID  SLAYETH  GOLIATH. 

It  may  not  be  generally  known, 
but  David  had  been  anointed 
king  of  Israel  some  time  before 
he  slew  Goliath,  yet  Saul  did  not 
know  it.  See  1  Sa.  16.  1-13,  p.  43, 
aud  chronology  of  the  old  Bible, 
p.  537. 

1  Sa.  17—1  Now  the  Philistines 
gathered  together  their  armies  to 
battle,  at  Shochoh,  and  pitched 
between  Shochoh  and  Azekah. 

2  And  Saul  and  the  men  of  Israel 
were  gathered  together,  and  pitch- 
ed by  the  valley  of  Elah,  and  set 
the  battle  in  array  against  the 
Philistines. 

3  And  the  Philistines  stood  on  a 
moimtain  on  the  on6  side,  and  Is- 
rael stood  on  a  mountain  on  the 
other  side:  and  there  was  a  valley 
between  them. 

4  And  there  went  out  a  cham- 
pion out  of  the  camp  of  the  Phi- 
listines, named  Goliath,  of  Gath, 
whose  height,  was  six  cubits  and 
a  span. 

5  And  he  had  a  helmet  of  brass 
upon  his  head,  and  he  was  armed 
with  a  coat  of  mail ;  and  the 
weight  of  the  coat  was  five  thou- 
sand shekels  of  brass. 


420 


6  And  he  had  greaves  of  brass 
upon  his  legs,  and  a  target  of 
brass  between  his  shoulders. 

7  And  the  staff  of  his  spear  was 
like  a  weaver's  beam;  and  his 
spear's  head  weighed  six  hundred 
shekels  of  iron:  and  one  bearing 
a  shield  went  before  him. 

8  And  he  stood  and  cried  unto 
the  armies  of  Israel,  and  said  imto 
them,  Why  are  ye  come  out  to  set 
your  battle  in  array?  am  not  I  a 
Philistine,  and  ye  servants  to 
Saul?  choose  you  a  man  for  you, 
and  let  him  come  down  to  me. 

9  If  he  be  able  to  tight  with  me, 
and  to  kill  me,  then  will  we  be 
your  servants:  but  if  I  prevail 
against  him,  and  kill  him,  then 
shall  ye  be  our  servants,  and  serve 

US 

10  And  the  Philistine  said,  I  defy 
the  armies  of  Israel  this  day :  give 
me  a  man,  that  we  may  fight  to- 
gether. 

11  When  Saul  and  alllsrael  heard 
those  words  of  thePhilistine,  they 
weredismayed.and  greatly  afraid. 

16  And  the  Philistine  drew  near 
morning  and  evening,  and  pre- 
sented himself  forty  days. 

19  Now  Saul,  and  they,  and  all 
the  men  of  Israel,  were  in  the 
valley  of  Elah,  fighting  with  the 
Philistines. 

32  And  David  said  to  Saul, 
Let  no  man's  heart  fail  because 
of  him ;  thy  servant  will  go  and 
tight  with  this  Philistine. 

40  And  he  took  his  staff  in  his 
hand,  and  chose  him  five  smooth 
stones  out  of  the  brook,  and  yut 
them  in  a  shepherd's  bag  winch 
he  had,  even  in  a  scrip;  and  his 
sling  was  in  his  hand;  and  he 
drew  near  to  the  Philistine. 

41  And  the  Philistine  came  on 
and  drew  near  unto  David;  and 
the  man  that  bear  the  shield  went 
before  him. 

42  And  when  the  Philistme  look- 
ed about,  and  saw  David,  he  dis- 
dained him:  for  he  was  but  a 
youth,  and  ruddy,  and  of  a  fair 
countenance. 

43  And  the  Philistine  said  unto 
David,  Am  I  a  dog,  that  thou 
comest  to  me  with  staves?  And 
tlie  Philistine  cursed  David  by 
his  gods. 

44  And  the  Philistine  said  to 
David,  Come  to  me,  and  I  will 
give  thy  flesh  luito  me  the  fowls 
of  the  air,  and  to  the  beasts  of  the 
field. 


45  Then  said  David  to  the  Phi- 
listine, Thou  comest  to  me  with  a 
sword,  and  with  a  spear,  and  with 
a  shield:  but  I  come  to  thee  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord  of  hosts. 
the  God  of  the  ai-mies  of  Israel, 
whom  thou  has  defied. 

46  This  day  will  the  Lord  deliv- 
er thee  into  mine  hand ;  and  I  will 
smite  thee,  and  take  thine  head 
from  thee;  and  I  will  give  the 
carcasses  of  the  host  of  the  Philis- 
tines this  day  unto  the  fowls  of 
the  air,  and  to  the  wild  beasts  of 
the  earth ;  that  all  the  earth  may 
know  that  there  is  a  God  in  Israel. 

47  And  all  this  assembly  shall 
know  that  the  Lord  saveth  not 
with  sword  and  spear:  for  the 
battle  is  the  Lord's,  and  he  will 
give  you  into  oiu-  hands. 

48  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
Philistine  arose,  and  came  and 
drew  nigh  to  meet  David,  that 
David  hasted,  and  ran  toward  the 
army  to  meet  the  Philistine. 

49  And  David  put  his  hand  in  his 
bag,  and  took  thence  a  stone,  and 
slang  it,  and  smote  the  Philistine 
in  his  forehead,  that  the  stone 
sunk  into  his  forehead;  and  he 
fell  upon  his  face  to  the  earth. 

50  So  David  prevailed  over  the 
Philistine  with  a  sling  and  with  a 
stone,  and  smote  the  Philistine, 
and  slew  him;  hut  there  was  no 
sword  in  the  hand  of  David. 

51  Therefore  David  ran,  and 
.stood  upon  the  Philistine,  and 
took  his  sword,  and  drew  it  out  of 
the  sheath  thereof,  and  slew  him, 
and  cut  off  his  head  therewith. 
And  when  the  Philistines  saw 
theirchampionwasdead,theyfled. 

52  And  the  men  of  Israel  and  of 
Judah  arose,  and  shouted,  and 
pursued  the  Philistines,  to  the 
gates  of  Ekron.  And  the  wound- 
ed of  the  Philistines  fell  down  by 
the  way  to  Shaaraim,  even  unto 
Gath,  and  unto  Ekron. 

53  And  the  children  of  Israel  re- 
turned from  chasing  after  the  Phi- 
listines, and  they  spoiled  their 
tents.  ,    , 

54  And  David  took  the  head  of 
the  Philistine,  and  brought  it  to 
Jerusalem ;  but  he  put  his  armom- 
in  his  tent.  ^ 

55  And  when  Saul  saw  David 
go  forth  against  the  Philistine,  he 
said  unto  Abner,  the  captain  of 
the  host,  Abner,  whose  son  is  this 
vouth?    And  Abner  said.  As  thy 

i  soul  liveth,  O  king,  I  cannot  tell. 


421 


56  And  the  king  said,  Inquire 
thou  whose  son  the  stripling  is. 

57  And  as  David  returuea  from 
the  slaughter  of  the  Philistine, 
Abner  took  him,  and  brought  him 
before  Saul  with  the  head  of  the 
Philistine  in  his  hand. 

58  And  Saul  said  to  him,  Whose 
son  art  thou,  thou  young  man? 
And  David  answered,  I  am  the 
son  of  thy  servant  Jesse  the  Beth- 
lehemite. 

From  reading  the  above  three 
verses  one  would  suppose  that 
Saul  did  not  know  David,  yet 
sometime  before  this  he  had  ap- 
pointed him  his  armourbearer. 
See  1  Sa.  16. 14-23,  p.  254. 


Jonathan's  love  for  David:  Da- 
vid an  officer  in  Saul's  army.  The 
women  of  Israel  sing  his  praise. 
David  and  his  men  slew  two  hun- 
dred Philistines,  and  their  fore- 
skins he  presented  to  Saul  at 
Saul's  request,  and  in  return  Saul 
gave  him  his  daughter  Michal, 
and  she  became  his  wife. 

1  Sa.  18—1  And  it  came  to  pass, 
when  he  had  made  an  end  of 
speaking  unto  Saul,  that  the  soul 
of  Jonathan  was  knit  with  the 
soul  of  David,  and  Jonathan  loved 
him  as  his  own  soul. 

2  And  Saul  took  him  that  day, 
and  would  let  him  go  no  more 
home  to  his  father's  house. 

3  Then  Jonathan  and  David 
made  a  covenant,  because  he 
loved  him  as  his  own  soul. 

4  And  Jonathan  stripped  him- 
self of  the  robethat  was  upon  him, 
and  gave  it  to  David,  and  his  gar- 
ments, even  to  his  sword,  and  to 
his  bow,  and  to  his  girdle. 

5  And  David  went  out  whither- 
soever Saul  sent  him,andbehaved 
himself  wisely:  and  Saul  set  him 
over  the  men  of  war,  and  he  was 
accepted  in  the  sight  of  all  the 
people,  and  also  in  the  sight  of 
Saul's  servants. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass  as  they 
came,  when  David  was  returned 
from  the  slaughter  of  the  Philis- 
tine, that  the  women  came  out 
of  all  cities  of  Israel,  singing  and 
dancing,  to  meet  king  Saul,  with 
tabrets,  with  joy,  and  with  instru- 
ments of  music. 

7  And  the  women  answered  one 


another  as  they  played,  and  said. 
Saul  hath  slain  his  thousands, 
and  David  his  ten  thousands. 

8  And  Saul  was  very  wroth,  and 
the  saying  displeased  him;  and 
he  said.  They  have  ascribed  unto 
David  ten  thousands,  and  to  me 
they  have  ascribed  butthousands: 
and  what  can  he  have  more  but 
the  kingdom? 

22  And  Saul  commanded  his 
servants,  saying.  Commune  with 
David  secretly,  and  say,  Behold, 
the  king  hath  delight  in  thee,  and 
all  his  servants  love  thee:  now 
therefore  be  the  king's  son  in 
law. 

23  And  Saul's  servants  spake 
those  words  in  the  ear  of  David. 
And  David  said,  Seemeth  it  to  you 
a  light  thing  to  be  a  king's  son  in 
law,  seeing  that  I  am  a  poor  man, 
and  lightly  esteemed? 

24  And  the  servants  of  Saul  told 
him. 

25  And  Saul  said.  Thus  shall  ye 
say  to  David,  The  king  desireth 
not  any  dowry,  but  a  hundred 
foreskins  of  the  Philistines,  to  be 
avenged  of  the  king's  enemies. 
But  Saul  thought  to  make  David 
fall  by  the  hand  of  the  Philistines. 

26  And  when  his  servants  told 
David  these  words,  it  pleased  Da- 
vid well  to  be  the  king's  son  in 
law. 

27  Wherefore  David  went,  he 
and  his  men,  and  slew  of  the  Phi- 
listines two  hundred  men;  and 
David  broughttheir  foreskins,and 
gave  them  m  full  tale  to  the  king, 
that  he  might  be  the  king's  son  in 
law.  And  Saul  gave  him  Michal 
his  daughter  to  wife. 

The  last  battle  fought  by  the 
vinfortunate  king  Saul.  Death  of 
Saul  and  his  son  Jonathan.  See 
also  Saul  and  the  witch  at  Endor, 
1  Sa.  28,  p.  321, 322.  Saul  was  chosen 
by  the  Lord  to  be  the  first  king  of 
the  Jewish  people  (l  Sa.  9  and  10, 
p.  330),  and  rejected  by  the  Lord  for 
doing  what  he  honestly  thought 
was  right;  and  David,  "the  man 
after  God's  own  heart,"  whose 
life's  record  was  a  thousand  times 
blacker  than  Saul's,  was  chosen  by 
the  Lord  to  be  king  over  all  Israel 
in  his  place.  This  was  seven  years 
before  the  death  of  Saul,  1  Sa.  13. 
8-14,  p.  417 ;  1  Sa.  16. 1-13,  p.  43.  See

1  Sa.  31—1  Now  the  PMlistmes 
lought  against  Israel:  and  the 
men  of  Israel  fled  from  before  the 
Philistines,  and  fell  down  slain  m 
mount  Gilboa. 

2  And  the  Philistines  followed 
hard  upon  Saul  and  upon  his  sons; 
and  the  Philistines  slew  Jonathan, 
and  Abinadab,  and  Melchi-shua, 
Saul's  sous. 

3  And  the  battle  went  sore 
against  Saul,  and  the  archers  hit 
him ;  and  he  was  sore  wounded. 

i  Then  said  Saul  unto  his  arm- 
ourbearer,  Draw  thy  sword,  and 
thrust  me  tlu-ough  therewith ;  lest 
these  uncircumcised  come  and 
thrust  me  through,  anxl  abuse  me. 
But  his  armourbearer  would  not; 
for  he  was  sore  afraid.  Therefore 
Saul  took  a  sword,  and  fell  upon  it. 

5  And  when  his  armourbearer 
saw  that  Saul  was  dead,  he  fell 
likewise  upon  his  sword,  and  died 
with  him. 

6  So  Saul  died,  and  his  three 
sons,  and  his  armourbearer,  and 
all  his  men,  that  same  day. 

(Ac.  13—21  And  God  gave  unto 
them  Saul  the  son  of  Cis,  a  man 
of  the  tribe  of  Benjamin,  by  the 
space  of  forty  years.) 

7  And  when  the  men  of  Israel 
on  the  other  side  of  the  valley, 
and  they  that  were  on  the  other 
side  Jordan,  saw  that  the  men  of 
Israel  Ited,  and  that  Saul  and  his 
sons  were  dead,  they  forsook  the 
cities,  and  tied-  and  the  Philis- 
tines came  and  dwelt  in  them. 

8  And  on  the  morrow,  when  the 
Philistines  came  to  strip  the  slain, 
they  found  Saul  and  his  three 
sons. 

9  And  they  cut  off  his  head,  and 
stripped  oft'  his  armour,  and  sent 
into  the  land  of  the  Philistines,  to 
publish  it  in  the  house  of  their 
idols,  and  among  the  people. 

10  And  they  put  his  armour  in 
the  hou.se  of  Ashtaroth :  and  they 
fastened  his  body  to  the  wall  of 
Beth-shan. 

11  And  when  the  inhabitants  of 
Jabesh-^ilead  heard  of  that  which 
the  Philistines  had  done  to  Saul, 

12  All  the  valiant  men  arose, 
and  went  all  night,  and  took  the 
body  of  Saul  and  his  sons  from  the 
wall  of  Beth-shan,  and  came  to 
Jabesh,  and  bimit  them  there, 

13  And  they  took  their  bones. 
and  buried  them  under  a  tree  at 
Jabfish,  and  fasted  seven  days. 


1  Chr.  10—13  So  Saul  died  for  his 
transgression,  and  also  for  asking 
counsel  of  one  that  had  a  familiar 
spirit,  to  inquire  of  it; 

14  And  inquired  not  of  the 
Lord  :  therefore  he  slew  him,  and 
turned  the  kingdom  unto  David. 

Saul  did  inquire  of  the  Lord, 
but  he  answered  him  not,  see  1  Sa. 
28.  6,  p.  321. 

David's  lament  for  Saul  and 
Jonathan.  "  How  are  the  mighty 
fallen!"  •  ' 

2  Sa,  1—17  And  David  lamented 
with  this  lamentation  over  Saul 
and  over  Jonathan  his, son: 

18  (Also  he  bade  them  teach  the 
children  of  Judah  the  use  of  the 
bow:  behold,  it  is  written  in  the 
book  of  Jasber:) 

19  The  beauty  of  Israel  is  slain 
upon  thy  high  places:  how  are 
the  mighty  fallen! 

20  Tell  it  not  in  Gath.  publish  it 
not  ill  the  streets  of  Askeloii;  lest 
the  daughters  of  the  Philistines 
rejoice,  lest  the  daughters  of  the 
uncircumcised  triumph. 

21  Ye  mountains  of  Gilboa,  let 
there  be  no  dew,  neither  let  there 
be  rain,  upon  you,  nor  fields  of 
offerings:  for  there  the  shield  of 
the  mighty  is  vilely  cast  away, 
the  shield  of  Saul,  as  thougli  he 
had  not  been  anointed  with  oil. 

22  From  the  blood  of  the  slain, 
from  the  fat  of  the  mighty,  the 
bow  of  Jonathan  turned  not  pack, 
and  the  sword  of  Saul  returned 
not  empty. 

23  Saul  and  Jonathan  were 
lovely  and  pleasant  in  their  lives, 
and  in  their-death  they  were  not 
divided:  they  were  swifter  than 
eagles,  they  were  stronger  than 
lions. 

24  Ye  daughters  of  Israel,  weep 
over  Saul,  who  clothed  you  in 
scarlet,  with  other  delights;  who 
put  on  ornaments  of  gold  upon 
your  apparel. 

25  How  are  the  mighty  fallen  in 
the  midst  of  the  battle!  O  Jona- 
than, thou  wast  slain  in  thine 
high  places. 

26  I  am  distressed  for  thee,  my 
brother  Jonathan:  very  pleasant 
hast  thou  been  unto  me:  tby  love 
to  me  was  wonderful,  passing  the 
love  of  women. 

27  How  are  the  mighty  fallen, 
and  the  weapons  of  war  perished!

The  skirmish  of  the  twelve 
brings  on  a  battle,  aud  .380  men 
are  slain.  ,;  p.:'.V  :;,:;' ■,!., 

2  Sa.  2—12  And  Abner  thfe  son  of 
Ner,  and  the  servants  of  Ish-bo- 
sheth  the  son  of  Saul,  went  out 
from  Mahauaim  to  Gibeon.      _ 

13  And  Joab  the  son  of  Zeruiah, 
aud  the  servants  of  David,  went 
out,  and  met  together  by  the  pool 
of  Gibeon :  and  they  sat  down,  the 
one  on  the  one  side  of  the  pool, 
aud  the  other  oii  the  other  side. 

14  And  Abner  said  to  Joab,  Let 
the  young  men  now  arise,  and 
iilav  before  us.  And  Jpab  said. 
Let  them  arise.  '    .,    ' 

15  Then  there  aroSe  and  went 
over  twelve  of  Benjamin,  which 
pertained  to  Ish-bosheth,  aud 
twelve  of  the  servants  of  Davul. 

16  And  they  caught  every  one 
his  fellow  by  the  head,  and  thrust 
his  sword  in  his  fellow's  side;  so 
they  fell  down  together.      ';■  •  •.• 

17  And  there  was  a  very  sore 
battle ;  and  Abner  was  beaten. 

18  And  there  were  three  sons 
of  Zeruiah  there,  Joab,  Abishai, 
aud  Asahel:  and  Asahel  was  as 
light  of  foot  as  a  wild  roe.  And 
Asahel  pursued  after  Abner. 

23  Wherefore  Abner  with  the 
hinder  end  of  the  spear  smote 
him  under  the  fifth  rib,  that  the 
spear  came  out  behind  him;  and 
he  fell  down  there,  and  died. 

30  And  there  lacked  of  David's 
servantsnineteenmen  and  Asahel . 

31  But  the  servants  of  David  had 
smitten  of  Benjamin,  and  of  Ab- 
ner'smen,  so  that  three  hundred 
and  threescore  men  died.

came,  and  spread  themselves  in 
the  valley  of  Rephaim.       '        ■ 

23  And  when  David  inquired  of 
the  LoKD,  he  said,  Thou  shalt  not 
go  up ;  but  fetch  a  compass  behind 
them,  and  coma  upon  them  over 
against  the  mulberry  trees. 

24  And  let  it  be,  when  thou  hear- 
est  the  sound  of  a  going  in  the  tops

thou  Shalt  bestir  thyself:  for  then 
shall  the  Lori>  go  Out  before  thee,

25  And  David  did  .so,  as  the  Lord 
had  commanded  him ;  and  smote 
the  Philistines  from  Geba  until

David's  battle  with  the  Philis- 
ttues,  Moabites,  kuig  of  Zobah, 
and  the  Syrians,  40,000  slain. 

2  Sa.  8—1  And  it  came  to  pass, 
that  David  smote  the  Philistines, 
and  subdued  them. 

2  And  he  smote  Moab,  and 
measured  them  With  a  line,  cast- 
ing them  down  to  the  ground ; 
even  with  two  lines  measiued  lie 
to  put  to  death,  and  with  one  full 
line  to  keep  alive.  And  so  the 
Moabites  became  David's  ser- 
vants, and  brought  gifts. 

3  David  smote  also  Hadadezer, 
the  .son  of  Rehob,  king  of  Zobah, 
as  he  went  to  recover  his  border 
at  the  river  Euphrates.     '  ■■;    v.

cb-ed  horsemen,  and  twenty  thou-

all  the  chariot  horses,  but  reserved 
of  them  for  a  hundred  chariots. 

5  And  when  the  Syrians  of  Da- 
mascus came  to  succour  Hadade- 
zer king  of  Zobah,  David  slew  of 
the  Syrians  two  and  twenty  thou- 
sand men. 

6  Then  Da:vid  put  gan-isons  in 
Svria  of  Damascus:  and  the  Syr- 
ians became  servants  to  David, 
and  brought  gifts.  And  the  Lord 
preserved  David  whithersoever  he

David  and  Joab's  battle  with 
the  Ammonites  and  the  hired 
soldiers,  47,000  slain.  See  also  2 
Chr.  25.  6,  p.  434. 

2  Sa.  10—1  And  it  came  to  pass 
after  this,  that  the  king  of  the 
children  of  Amnion  died,  and 
Hanun  his  son  reign  in  his  stead. 

2  Then  said  David,  I  will  shew 
ktrldness  unto  Hanun  the  son  of 
Nahash,  as  his  fathershe  wed  kind- 
ness unto  me.  And  David  sent  to 
comfort  him  by  the  hand  of  his 
servants  for  his  father.  And  Da- 
vid's servants  came  into  the  land 
of  the  children  of  Amnion. 

3  And  the  princes  of  the  children 
of  Amnion  said  unto  Haniui  their 
lord,  Thinkest  thou  that  David 
doth  honour  thy  father,  that  he 
hath  sent  comforters  unto  thee? 
hath  not  David  rather  sent  his 
servants  unto  thee,  to  search  the 
city,  and  to  spy  it  out,  and  to 
overthrow  it? 

4  Wherefore  Hanun  took  Da- 
vid's servants,  and  shaved  oi¥  the 
one  half  of  their  beards,  and  cut 
off  their  garments  in  the  middle, 
even  to  their  buttocks,  and  sent 
them  away. 

5  When  they  told  it  unto  David, 
he  sent  to  meet  them,  because  the 
men  were  greatly  ashamed:  and 
the  king  said.  Tarry  at  Jericho 
until  your  beards  be  grown,  and 
then  return. 

6  And  when  the  children  of 
Ammon  saw  that  they  stank  be- 
fore David,  the  children  of  Am- 
nion sent  and  hired  the  Syrians 
of  Beth-rehob,  and  the  Syrians  of 
Zoba,  twenty  thousand  footmen, 
and  of  king  Maacali  a  thousand 
men,  and  of  Ish-tob  twelve  thou- 
sand men. 

(1  Chr.  19—6  And  when  the  chil- 
dren of  Ammon  saw  that  they  had 
made  themselves  odious  to  David, 
Hanxui  and  thechildrenof  Amnion 
sent  a  thousand  talents  of  silver  to 
hire  them  chariots  and  horsemen 
out  of  Mesopotamia,  and  out  of 
Syria-maachah.andout  of  Zobali. 

7  So  they  hired  thirty  and  two 
thousand  chariots,  and  the  king 
of  Maachah  and  his  people.) 

7  And  when  Davia  heard  of  it. 


he  sent  Joab,  and  all  the  host  of 
the  mighty  men. 

13  And  Joab  drew  nigh,  and  the 
people  that  were  with  him,  unto 
the  battle  against  the  Syrians: 
and  they  lied  before  him. 

14  And  when  the  children  of 
Ammon  saw  that  the  Syrians 
were  fled,  then  fled  they  also  be- 
fore Abishai,  and  entered  into  the 
city.  So  Joab  returned,  and  came 
to  Jenisalem. 

15  And  when  the  Syrians  saw 
that  they  were  smitten,  they 
gathered  themselves  together. 

16  And  Hadarezer  sent,  and 
brought  out  the  Syrians ;  and  they 
came  to  Helani:  and  Shobach  the 
captain  of  the  host  of  Hadarezer 
went  before  them. 

17  And  when  it  was  told  David, 
he  gathered  all  Israel  together, 
and  passed  over  Jordan,  and  came 
to  Helani.  And  the  Syrians  set 
themselves  in  aiTay  against  Da- 
vid, and  fought  with  him. 

18  And  the  Syrians  fled  before 
Israel ;  and  David  slew  the  men  of 
seven  hundred  chariots  of  the 
Syrians,  and  forty  thousand  horse- 
men, and  smote  Shobach  the  cap- 
tain of  their  host,  who  died 
there. 

1  Clir.  19—18  But  the  Syrians  fled 
before  Israel ;  and  David  slew  of 
the  Syrians  seven  thousand  men 
which  fought  in  chariots,  and 
forty  thousand  footnien,and  killed 
Shophach  the  captain  of  the  host. 

DAVID,     BATH-SHEBA,    AND 
URIAH. 


See  also  the  battle  of  Rabbah, 
where  David  tortured  his  pris- 
oners in  a  barbarous,  cruel,  and 
inhuman  manner  (2  Sa.  12.  29-31, 
p.  266).  And  yet  he  was  a  man 
after  the  Lord's  own  heart,  l  Sa. 
13.  14,  p.  417,  and  Ps.  109. 


David  committed  adultery  with 
Bath-Sheba,  Uriah's  wife,  and 
then  sent  for  Uriah,  one  of  the 
generals  in  his  army,  and  feasted 
him,  and  made  Ivini  drtmk,  all  in 
a  kindly,  hypocritical  manner, 
and  then  wrote  Uriah's  death 
warrant  in  the  form  of  a  letter, 
and  gave  it  to  him  to  deliver  to 
Joab,  the  commander-in-chief  of 
his  army,  which  he  did.  And  thus 


425 


Uriah,  not  knowing,  carried  his 
own  death  warrant  from  the  hand 
of  God's  chosen  man,  David. 


Death  of  Uriah.  David  married 
his  wife,  who  mourned  for  her 
h\st  husband.  Natlian  (one  of  Da- 
vid's piophets),  bv  command  of 
the  Lord,  reproved  David.  David 
repented,  and  the  Lord  pardoned 
him ;  yet  he  laid  a  ciu-se  upon  Da- 
vid's house.  See  Amnon  and  Ta- 
mar,  2  Sa.  13,  p.  362;  Absalom's 
rebellion,  2  Sa.  18,  p.  427. 

Solomon,  son  of  Uriah's  wife,  is 
born,  and  named  by  David:  also 
named  Jedidiah  and  Solomon  by 
tlie  Lord. 

2  Sa.  11—1  And  it  came  to  pass, 
after  the  year  was  expired,  at  the 
time  when  kings  go  forth  to  bat- 
tle, that  David  sent  Joab,  and  his 
servants  with  him,  and  all  Israel ; 
and  they  destroyed  the  children 
of  Ammon,  and  besieged  Rabbah. 
But  David  tarried  still  at  Jerusa- 
lem. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  in  an 
eveningtide,  that  David  arose 
from  off  his  bed,  and  walked  upon 
the  roof  of  the  king's  house :  and 
from  the  roof  he  saw  a  woman 
washing  herself:  and  the  woman 
was  very  beautiiul  to  look  ^^pon. 

3  And  David  sent  anH  inquired 
after  the  woman.  And  one  said, 
Ls  not  this  Bath-sheba,  the  daugh- 
ter of  Eliam,  the  wife  of  Uriah 
the  Hittite? 

4  And  David  sent  messengers, 
and  took  her:  and  she  came  in 
unto  him,  and  he  lay  with  her; 
for  she  was  purified  from  her  un- 
cleanness:  and  she  returned  unto 
her  house.  . 

5  And  the  woman  conceived, 
and  sent  and  told  David,  and  said, 
1  am  with  child. 

6  And  David  sent  to  Joab,  say- 
ing. Send  me  Uriah  the  Hittite. 
And  Joab  sent  Uriah  to  David. 

7  And  when  Uriah  was  come  un- 
to him,  David  demanded  of  him 
how  Joab  did,  and  how  the  people 
did,  and  how  tlie  war  prospered. 

8  And  David  said  to  Uriah,  Go 
down  to  thy  house,  and  wash  thy 
feet.  And  Uriah  departed  out  of 
the  king's  house,  and  there  fol- 
lowed him  a  mess  of  meat  from 
the  king. 


9  But  Uriah  slept  at  the  door  of 
the  king's  house  with  all  the  serv- 
ants of  his  lord,  and  went  not 
down  to  his  house. 

10  And  when  they  had  told  Da- 
vid, saying,  Uriah  went  not  down 
unto  his  house,  David  said  imto 
Uriah,  Camest  thou  not  from  thy 
journey?  why  then  didst  thou  not 
go  down  unto  thine  house? 

11  And  Uriah  said  unto  David, 
The  ark,  and  Israel,  and  Judah, 
abide  in  tents;  and  my  lord  Joab, 
and  the  servants  of  my  lord,' are 
encamped  in  the  open  fields;  shall 
I  then  go  into  mine  house,  to  eat 
and  to  drink,  and  to  lie  with  my 
wife?  asthoiilivest, and asthy soul 
liveth,  I  will  not  do  this  thing. 

12  And  David  said  to  Uriah, 
Tarry  here  to  day  also,  and  to 
morrow  I  will  let  thee  depart.  So 
Uriah  abode  in  Jerusalem  that 
day,  and  the  morrow. 

13  And  when  David  had  called 
hiin,  he  did  eat  and  drink  before 
him;  and  he  made  him  drunk: 
and  at  even  he  went  out  to  lie  on 
his  bed  with  the  .servants  of  his 
lord,  but  went  not  down  to  his 
house. 

14  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  that  David  wrote  a  let- 
ter to  Joab,  and  sent  it  by  the 
hand  of  Uriah. 

15  And  he  wrote  in  the  letter, 
saying.  Set  ye  Uriah  in  the  fore- 
front of  the  hottest  battle,  and 
retii-e  ye  from  him,  that  he  may 
be  smitten,  and  die. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Jo.ab  observed  the  city,  that  he  as- 
signed Uriah  unto  a  place  where 
he  knew  that  valiant  men  were. 

17  And  the  men  of  the  city  went 
out,  and  fought  with  Joab:  and 
there  fell  some  of  the  people  of 
the  servants  of  David;  and  Uriah 
the  Hittite  died  also. 

18  Then  Joab  sent  and  told 
David  all  the  things  concerning 
the  war. 

22  IT  So  the  messenger  went,  and 
came  and  shewed  David  all  that 
Joab  had  sent  him  for. 

23  And  the  messenger  said  unto 
David,  Surely  the  men  prevailed 
against  us,  and  came  out  unto  us 
into  the  field,  and  we  were  upon 
them  even  unto  the  entering  of 
the  gate.  ,      ,  „ 

24  And  the  shooters  shot  from  orr 
the  wall  upon  thy  servants;  and 
someoftheking'sservantsbedead, 


436 


and  thy  servant  Uriah  the  Hittite 
is  de;id  ivls«.>. 

25  Tlu>u  David  Si\id  xauto  the

muo.Ioab,  Let  not  this  thins  dis- 
V^lease  thee,  for  the  sword  devour- 
eth  one  as  well  as  another;  make 
thy  Iwttle  more  strvnijr  against 
the  city,  and  overthrvnv  it;  and 
encvHur-ace  thou  him. 

26  And  when  the  wife  of  Uriah 
heard  that  Uriah  her  huv4>and 
was  dead,  she  nioiuned  for  her 
husbaud. 

■Z7  And  when  the  mourning  was 
past,  David  sent  and  fetched  her 
to  his  house,  and  sl>e  became  his 
wife,  and  bare  him  a  s<.>n.  But 
tlie  thinjr  that  l>avid  had  done 
displeased  the  Loki>. 

2  Sa.  li— 1  And  the  Lord  sent 
Nathan  unto  David.  And  lie 
came  unto  him,  and  s;nd  tinto 
him.  There  were  two  men  in  one 
city:  the  one  rich,  and  the  other 
p<.K>rl 

2  Tne  rich  man  had  exceeding 
many  tiocks  and  herds: 

3  But  thepiH^rman  had  notfunjf, 
save  one  little  ewe  lanib.  whiA 
he  had  Umglit  and  nourished  up: 
and  it  grew  up  together  witli  him, 
and  with  his  childrmi ;  it  did  eat 
of  his  own  meat,  and  drank  of  his 
own  cup,  ami  lay  in  his  bvvsom, 
and  w;i6  unto  him  as  a  daughter. 

4  And  there  came  a  traveller 
unto  the  rich  man,  and  lie  spared 
to  take  of  his  own  titvk  and  of  his 
own  herd,  to  dress  for  the  wayfar- 
ing man  that  was  come  unto  him  : 
but  tixik  the  ix>or  man's  lamb,  and 
dressed  it  for  the  man  that  was 
come  to  him. 

5  And  David's  anger  was  grreatlv 
kindled  against  the  man;  and  he 
said  to  Nathan,  As  the  Loko  liv- 
eth,  the  man  that  hath  done  this 
thing  shall  siu-ely  die: 

6  And  he  shall  restore  the  lamb 
fourfold,  because  he  did  this 
thing,  and  because  he  had  no  pit  v. 

7  And  Nathan  s;ud  to  David, 
Thou  art  the  man.  Thuss;iitli  the 
LoRii  God  of  Israel,  I  auinnted 
thee  king  over  Israel,  and  I  deliv- 
ered thee  out  of  the  hand  of  Saul ; 

S  .\nd  I  gave  thee  thy  master's 
house,  and  thy  master's  wives  into 
thy  lx\>;om,  and  gave  thee  the 
house  of  Israel  and  of  .Tudah ;  and 
if  that  had  been  too  little.  I  would 
moreover  have  given  unto  thee 
such  and  such  things. 


9  Wherefore  hast  thou  despised 
the  commandment  of  the  Li>ki\ 
to  do  evil  in  his  si^hf;  thou  hast 
killed  I  riah  the  Hittite  with  t'ne 
sword,  and  hast  taken  his  wife  to 
be  thy  wife,  and  hast  slain  him 
with  the  swortl  of  the  children  ot 
Ammon. 

10  Now  therefore  the  sworvi  slui'l 
never  depart  fnnu  thine  house; 
iHX'ause  thou  hast  despised  me. 
and  hast  taken  the  wife  of  Uriah 
the  Hittite  to  be  thv  wife. 

11  Thus  Siuth  the  Loki>.  Behold. 
I  will  mise  up  evil  ag-ainst  thee 
out  of  thine  own  bouse, ;ind  I  wi.l 
take  thy  wives  befoi-e  thine  eves, 
and  give  them  unto  thv  neigli- 
Ixnir.  and  he  shall  lie  with  il;v 
wives  in  the  sight  of  this  sun. 

12  Sa.  10— 22  So  they  spread  .\b- 
siiloui  a  teat  uixni  the  top  of  the 
hovtse;  and  Al»s;»lom  went  in  unto 
his  fathers  concubines  in  the 
sight  of  all  Israel. 

2  Sa. -"t^— 3  And  David  oiune  to 
his  house  at  .lenisivlem;  a«ui  the 
kin^  t(.x>k  the  ten  women  his  con- 
cubmes,  whom  hehad  left  tokeep

and  fed  them,  but  went  not  in 
unto  them.  So  tiiev  were  shut  up 
unto  the  day  of  tlieir  death,  living 
in  widowluH^d.^ 

12  For  thou  didst  it  set>retlv:  but 
I  will  do  this  thing  before  "all  Is- 
rael, and  Ixjfore  the  sun. 

Ki  And  David  s;iid  unto  Nathan, 
I  have  sinned  against  the  Lord. 
And  Nathan  Sivid  unto  David,  The 
LoRP  also  hath  put  away  thv  sin; 
thou  shalt  not  die. 

14  Howl»eit,  because  bv  thisdeed 
thou  hast  given  great  occasion  to 
theenemiesof  the  Lokd  to  blas- 
pheme, the  child  also  that  is  born 
unto  thee  shall  surely  die. 

!;■>  And  Nathan  dtn^arted  unto 
his  house.  .\iid  the  Li>ri>  struck 
the  child  that  Uriah's  wife  bare 
unto  I^avid.  and  it  was  verv 
sick. 

It;  Da\id  therefore  bes*nig:ht  God 
for  the  child:  and  David  fasted, 
and  went  in,  and  lay  all  uight  up- 
on the  earth. 

17  And  the  elders  of  his  house 
arose,  and  went  to  him.  to  raise 
him  up  from  the  earth:  hut  lie 
would  not.  neither  did  lie  eat 
bread  with  tliem. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
seventh  day,  that  the  child  died. 
And  the  servants  of  David  feared 
to   tell   him  that  the  child  was 


427 
Betiold. 


dead:    for    tVjey    said,    „ 

while  tlje  child  was  yet  alive,  we 
fejjake  unto  hirri,  aud  he  would  uot 
hearken  auto  our  voice:  how  will 
he  tlieri  vex  himwjlf,  if  we  tell 
him  that  the  child  is  dead'/      . 

19  But  wljeij  David  saw  that  his 
fcervautfe  whiBpered,  David  i^fir- 
r;eived  tiiat  the  child  was  dea<i : 
therefore  David  said  unto  his 
eervaiitfi.  Ik  the  child  dead?  And 
they  Miid,  He  is  dead. 

%)  Then  David  arose  from  the 
earth,  and  washed,  and  anoiuted 
himself,  aiidchanj^ed  his  apparel, 
and  came  mt*j  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  worshipped:  then  he 
came  to  hisown  house:  and  wlien 
he  required,  they  set  bread  before 
him,  and  lie  did  eat. 

21  Then  said  his  s^srvants  unto 
him.  What  thing  is  this  that  th<ju 
has  dfjTie?  thou  didst  fast  and 
weep  for  the  child,  while  it  was 
alive;  hut  wiien  the  child  was 
dead,  thou  didst  rise  and  eat  bread. 
Ki  And  he  said,  While  the  child 
was  yet  alive,  I  fasted  and  wept: 
for  1  said.  Who  can  tell  whether 
Gou  will  be  gracious  to  me,  that 
the  child  may  live?  ,      , 

T/j  But  now  he  is  dead,  where- 
fore sliould  1  fast?  can  I  bring 
him  back  again?  I  shaK  go  to  him, 
but  he  shalfnot  return  to  me. 

'M  And  David  comforted  Bath-

ABSALOM'S  REBELLION. 

Battle  between  the  armies  of 
Absalom  and  David.  Absalom 
and  2(j,(XXj  men  slain.  To  more 
fullv  understand  the  ret>elnon  of 
Absalom  read  2  Sa.,  chapters  l.!^2(j. 

2  Sa.  18—1  And  David  numbered 
the  pef>ple  that  were  with  hmi, 
and  set  captains  of  thousands 
and  captains  of  hundreds  over 
them. 


2  And  David  sent  forth  a  third 
I>art  of  the  i>eople  under  the  hand 
of  Joab,  and  a  third  part  under 
the  hand  of  .\bihhai  the  S'jn  ot 
Zeruiah,  .Jvabs  brcAher,  and  a 
third  i^rt  under  the  hand  of 
Ittai  the  Gittite.  And  the  king 
said  unto  the  people.  1  will  surely 
go  forth  with  you  myself  alsfj. 

3  But  the  pe<jple  ans-wered,  1  hou 
Shalt  not  go  fJjrth :  for  if  we  flee 
awav,  thev  will  not  care  for  us; 
neither  if  naif  of  us  die,  will  they 
fare  for  us:  but  now  thou  art 
worth  ten  thousand  of  us:  there- 
fore now  it  iB  better  that  thou 
sucofjur  us  out  of  the  city. 

4  Aud  the  king  said  unto  them. 
What  seemeth  you  best  I  will  do. 
And  the  king  su^fjd  by  the  gate 

and    all    the   people   came 
thou- 


side.  »...*  —  -  ----  r  -•-- 
out  by  hundreds  and  by 
sands.  ,    ,  t 

.0  And  tVie  kmg  commanded  Jo- 
ab and  Abisbai  and  Ittai.  saying. 
Deal  gently  for  my  sake  with  the 
young  man,  even  with  Absalom. 
And  all  the  people  heard  when 
the  king  gave  all  the  captains 
charge  concerning  Absalom. 

6  ^  So  the  people  went  out  mto 
the  field  against  Israel:  aud  the 
battle  was  in  the  wood  of  Ephra- 

7  Where  the  people  of  Israel 
w^ere  slain  before  the  servants  of 
David,  and  there  was  there  a 
great  slaughter  that  day  of  twenty 
thousand  men. 

8  For  the  battle  was  there  scat- 
tered over  the  face  of  all  the  couu- 
trj-:  and  the  wood  devoured  more 
people  that  day  than  the  sword 
devoured. 

9  ^  And  Absalom  met  the  serv- 
ants of  David.  And  Absalom  rode 
upon  a  mule,  and  the  mule  went 
under  the  thick  boughs  of  a  great 
oak,  and  bis  head  caught  hold  ot 
the  oak,  and  he  was  taken  up  be- 
tween the  heaven  and  the  earth  ; 
and  the  mule  that  was  under  him 
went  away.  . 

10  And  a  certain  man  ra-w  it, 
and  told  Joab,  and  said.  Behold,  I 
saw  Absalom  hanged  in  an  oak. 

11  And  Joab  said  unto  the  man 
thatt-old  hirn.  And.  behold,  thou 
sawest  him,  and  why  didst  thou 
not  smite  him, theretotheground? 
and  I  would  have  given  thee  ten 
shekels  of  silver,  and  a  girdle. 

12  .\nd  the  man  said  unto  Joab, 
Though  I  should  receive  a  thou- 
and  shekels  of  silver  in  mine  hand, 


428 


yet  would  I  not  put  forth  miue 
hand  against  the  king's  son:  for 
in  our  hearing  the  king  charged 
thee  and  Abishaiand  Ittai, saying, 
Beware  that  none  toucli  tlie  young 
man  Absalom. 

13  Otherwise  I  should  have 
wrought  falsehood  against  mine 
own  life:  for  there  is  no  matter 
hid  from  the  king,  and  thou  thy- 
self wouldest  have  set  thyself 
against  me. 

14  Then  said  Joab,  I  may  not 
taiTy  thus  with  thee.  And  he 
took  three  darts  in  his  hand,  and 
thrust  them  through  the  heart  of 
Ab.salom,  while  he  was  yet  alive 
in  the  midst  of  the  oak. 

15  And  ten  young  men  that  bare 
Joab's  armour  compassed  about 
and  smote  Absalom,  and  slewhim. 

16  And  Joab  blew  the  trumpet, 
and  the  people  returned  from  pur- 
suing after  Israel:  for  Joab  held 
back  the  people. 

17  And  they  took  Absalom,  and 
cast  him  into  a  great  pit  in  the 
wood,  and  laid  a  very  great  heap 
of  stones  upon  him :  and  all  Israel 
fled  every  one  to  his  tent. 

18  Now  Ab.salom  in  his  lifetime 
had  taken  and  reared  up  for  him- 
self a  pillar,  which  is  in  the  king's 
dale:  for  he  .said,  I  have  no  son  to 
keep  my  name  in  remembrance: 
and  he  called  the  pillar  after  his 
own  name:  and  it  is  called  unto 
this  day,  Absalom's  place. 

21  Then  said  Joab  to  Gushi,  Go 
tell  the  king  what  thou  hast  seen. 
And  Cushi  bowed  himself  unto 
Joab,  and  ran. 

24  And  David  sat  between  the 
two  gates:  and  the  watchman 
went  up  to  the  roof  over  the  gate 
unto  tlie  wall,  and  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  and  looked,  and  behold  a 
man  running  alone. 

31  And  Cushi  came;  and  said. 
Tidings,  my  lord  the  kmg :  for  the 
Lord  hath  avenged  thee  this  day 
of  all  them  that  rose  up  against 
thee. 

32  And  the  king  .said  unto  Cushi, 
Is  the  young  man  Ab.salom  safe? 
And  Cushi  answered, The  enemies 
of  my  lord  the  king,  and  all  that 
rise  against  thee  to  do  thee  hurt, 
be  as  that  young  man  is. 

33  And  the  king  was  much 
moved,  and  went  up  to  the  cham- 
ber over  the  gate,  and  wept :  and 
as  he  went,  thus  he  said,  O  my 
sou  Absalom!  my  son,  my  .sou  Al>- 


salom!  would  God  I  had  died  for 
thee,  O  Absalom,  my  son,  my  son! 

Saul's  .seven  sons  hanged  to  sat- 
isfy the  Gibeonites.    See  also  Jos. 

9.  3,  and  the  battle  of  Gibeon,  Jos. 

10,  p.  407.  

A  battle  with  the  Philistines,  in 
which  David  "  waxed  faint." 
"  Thou  Shalt  go  no  more  out  with 
us  to  battle,  that  thou  quench 
not  the  light  of  Israel." 

FOUR  GIANTS  SLAIN. 

2  Sa.  21—1  Then  there  was  a  fa- 
mine in  the  days  of  David  three 
years,  year  after  year;  and  David 
inquired  of  the  Lord.  And  the 
Lord  answered.  It  is  for  Saul,  and 
for  his  bloody  house,  because  he 
slew  the  Gibeonites. 

2  And  the  king  called  the  Gib- 
eonites; (now  the  Gibeonites  were 
not  of  the  children  of  Israel,  but  of 
the  remnant  of  the  Amorites;  and 
the  children  of  Israel  had  sworn 
unto  them :  and  Saul  sought  toslay 
them  in  his  zeal  to  the  children  of 
Israel  and  Judah:) 

3  Wherefore  David  said  unto  the 
(Tibeonites,  What  shall  I  do  for 
you?  and  wherewith  shall  I  make 
the  atonement,  that  ye  may  bless 
the  inheritance  of  the  Lord? 

4  And  the  Gibeonites  said  unto 
him.  We  will  have  no  silver  nor 
gold  of  Saul,  nor  of  his  house; 
neither  for  us  shalt  thou  kill  any 
man  in  Lsrael.  And  he  said.  What 
ye  shall  say,  that  will  I  do  for  j;ou. 

5  And  they  an.swered  the  king. 
The  man  that  consumed  us,  and 
that  devised  against  us  that  we 
should  be  destroyed  from  remain- 
ing in  any  of  the  coasts  of  Israel, 

6  Let  seven  men  of  his  sons  be 
delivered  unto  us,  and  we  will 
hang  them  up  unto  the  Lord  in 
(xibeah  of  Saul,  whom  the  Lord 
did  choo.se.  And  the  king  said,  I 
will  give  them. 

7  But  the  king  spared  Mephibo- 
sheth,  the  .son  of  Jonathan  the  son 
of  Saul,  because  of  the  Lord's 
oath  that  was  between  them,  be- 
tween David  and  Jonathan  the 
son  of  Saul.    1  Sa.  20.  18-42,  p.  359. 

8  But  the  king  took  the  two  sons 
of  Rizpali  the  daughter  of  Aiah. 
whom  she  bare  vmto  Saul,  Arnioni 
and  Mephibosheth;  and  the  five 
sons  of  Michal  the  daughter  of 
Saul,  whom  she  brought  up  for 


429 


Adriel  the  son  of  Barzillai  the 
]Meholathite: 

(1  Sa.  18—19  But  it  came  to  pass 
at  tiie  time  when  Merab  Saul's 
daughter  should  have  been  given 
to  David,  that  she  was  given  unto 
Adriel  the  Meholathite  to  wife. 

1  Sa.  25—44  But  Saul  had  given 
]\IichaI  his  daughter,  David's 
wife,  to  Phalti  the  sou  of  Laisli. 
See  2  Sa.  3. 13, 14.) 

9  And  he  delivered  them  into  the 
hands  of  the  Gibeonites,  and  they 
hanged  them  in  the  liill  before 
the  Lokd:  and  tliey  fell  all  seven 
together,  and  were  put  to  death 
in  the  days  of  harvest,  in  the  be- 
ginning of  barley  harvest. 

1.5  The  Philistines  luid  war  again 
with  Israel;  and  David  and  his 
servants  fought  against  the  Phi- 
listines: and  David  waxed  faint. 

16  And  Ishbi-benob,  which  was 
of  the  sons  of  the  giant,  the  weight 
of  whose  spear  weiglied  three  hun- 
dred sliekels  of  brass  in  weight,  he 
being  girded  with  a  new  sword, 
thouglit  to  have  slain  David. 

17  But  Abishai  succoured  him, 
and  smote  the  Philistine.  Then 
the  men  of  David  sware  unto  him, 
saying,  Thou  shalt  go  no  more 
out  with  us  to  battle,  that  thou 
quench  not  the  light  of  Israel. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass  after  this, 
that  there  was  again  a  battle  witli 
the  Philistines  at  Gob:  Then  Sib- 
bechai  the  Hushathite  slew  Saph, 
which  was  of  the  sous  of  the 
giant. 

19  And  there  was  again  a  baftle 
in  Gob  with  the  Philistines,  where 
Elhanan,  a  Beth-leliemite,,  slew 
the  brother  of  Goliatli  the  Gittite, 
the  stafi  of  whose  spear  was  like 
a  weave'-'s  beam. 

20  And  there  was  yet  a  battle  in 
Gath,  where  was  a  man  of  great 
stature,  that  had  on  every  hand 
six  fingers,  and  on  every  foot  six 
toes,  four  and  twenty  in  number ; 
and  he  also  was  born  to  the 
giant. 

21  And  when  he  defied  Israel, 
Jonathan  the  son  of  Shimeah  the 
brother  of  David  slew  him. 

22  Tiiese  four  were  born  to  the 
giant  in  Gath,  and  fell  by  the  hand 
of  David,  and  his  servants.

David's  army,  and  Uriali,  one  of 
the  mighty  men,  2  Sa.  11,  p.  425. 


2  Sa.  23—8  These  be  the  names 
of  the  mighty  men  whom  David 
had:  The  Tachmonite  that  sat 
in  the  seat,  cliief  among  the  cap- 
tains; the  same  was  Adino  the 
Eznite:  he  lifted  up  his  .spear 
against  eight  hundred,  whom  he 
slew  at  one  time. 

(1  Clir.  11—11  And  of  the  mighty 
men  whom  David  had;  Jaslro- 
beam,  a  Hachmonite,  the  chief  of 
the  captains:  he  lifted  up  his 
spear  against  three  hundred  slaiu 
by  him  at  one  time.) 

9  Andafter  him  wasEleazarthe 
son  of  Dodo  the  Ahohite,  one  of 
the  three  mighty  men  with  Da- 
vid, when  they  defied  the  Philis- 
tines that  were  there  gathered 
together  to  battle,  and  the  men 
of  Israel  were  gone  away: 

10  He  arose,  and  smote  the  Phi- 
listines until  his  hand  was  weary, 
and  his  liand  claveunto  the  sword : 
and  the  Lord  wrought  a  great 
victory  that  day;  and  the  peo- 
ple retui-ned  after  him  only  to 
spoil. 

11  And  after  Irim  was  Shammah 
the  son  of  A^ee  the  Hararite. 
Andthe  Philistines  were  gatliered 
together  into  a  troop,  where  was 
a  piece  of  ground  full  of  lentiles: 
and  the  people  fled  fx-om  the  Phi- 
listines. 

12  But  he  stood  in  the  midst  of 
the  ground,  and  defended  it,  and 
slew  the  Philistines:  and  the 
Lord  wrought  a  great  victory.

18  And  Abishai,  the  brother  of 
Joab,  the  son  of  Zeruiah,  was 
chief  among  three.  And  he  lifted 
up  liis  spear  against  three  hun- 
dred, and  slew  them,  and  had  ths 
name  among  three. 

20  And  Benaiah  the  son  of  Jehci- 
ada,  the  son  of  a  valiant  man,  who 
had  done  many  acts,  lie  slew  two 
lionlike  men  of  Moab:  he  went 
down  also  and  slew  a  lion  in  the 
midst  of  a  pit  in  time  of  snow. 

21  And  he  slew  an  Egyptian,  a 
goodly  man:  and  the  Egyptian 
had  a  spear  in  his  hand ;  but  he 
went  down  to  him  with  a  staff, 
and  plucked  the  spear  out  of  the 
Egyptian's  hand,  and  slew  him 
with  his  own  spear,    p.  402.

A  GREAT  BATTLE  BETWEEN 
JEWISH  BROTHERS. 


Abijah.  son  of  Relioboam.  king 
of  Judah.  with  an  army  of  400,000 
men  defeated  Jeroboam  king  of 
Israel  with  an  army  of  800,000  men, 
and  slew  500,000  of  his  Jewish 
brothers,  all  with  the  help  of  the 
Lord. 

2  Chr.  13—1  Now  in  the  eight- 
eenth year  of  king  Jeroboam  be- 
gan Abijah  to  reign  over  Judah. 

2  He  reigned  three  years  in  Je- 
rusalem. And  there  was  war  be- 
tween Abijah  and  Jeroboam . 

3  And  Abijah  set  the  battle  in 
array  with  an  army  of  valiant 
men  of  war,  even  four-  hundred 
thousand  chosen  men :  Jeroboam 
also  set  the  battle  in  aiTay  against 
him  with  eight  hundred  thousand 
chosen  men,  being  mighty  men 
of  valour. 

14  And  when  Judah  looked 
back,  behold,  the  battle  was  be- 
fore and  behind:  and  they  cried 
unto  the  Lord,  and  the  priests 
sounded  with  the  trumpets. 

15  Then  the  men  of  Judah  gave 
a  sbout :  and  as  the  men  of  Judah 
shouted,  it  came  to  pass,  that  God 
smote  Jeroboam  and  all  Israel  be- 
fore Abijah  and  Judah. 

16  And  the  children  of  Israel  fled 
before  Judah:  and  God  delivered 
them  into  their  hand. 

17  And  Abijah  and  his  people 
slew  them  with  a  great  slaughter : 
so  there  fell  down  slain  of  Israel 
live  hundred  thousand  chosen 
men.    p.  203. 

Asa,  king  of  Judah,  with  580.000 
men  defeated  Zerah  the  Ethio- 
pian with  1,000,000  men  and  300 
chariots. 

2  Chr.  14—8  And  Asa  had  an 
army  of  men  that  bare  targets 
and  spears,  out  of  Judah  three 
hundred  thousand;  and  oiit  of 
Benjamin,  that  bare  shields  and 
drew  bows,  two  himdred  and 
foiu-score  thousand:  all  these 
were  mighty  men  of  valour. 
'/  9  And  there  came  out  against 
them  Zerah  the  Ethiopian  with  a 
host  of  a  thousand  thousand,  and 


three  hundred  chariots ;  and  came 
unto  Mareshah. 

10  Then  Asa  went  out  against 
him,  and  they  set  the  battle  in 
-array  in  the  valley  of  Zephathah 
at  Mareshah. 

11  And  Asa  cried  unto  the  Lord, 
and  said.  Lord,  it  is  nothing  with 
thee  to  help,  whether  with  many, 
or  with  them  that  have  nopower: 
help  us,  O  Lord  ovir  God ;  for  we 
rest  on  thee,  and  in  thy  name  we 
go  against  this  multitude.  O 
Lord,  thou  art  our  God;  let  not 
man  prevail  against  thee. 

12  So  the  Lord  smote  the  Ethi- 
opians before  Asa,  and  before  Ju- 
dah ;  and  the  Ethiopians  fled. 

13  And  Asa  and  the  people  that 
were  with  him  pursued  them  unto 
Gerar:  and  the  Ethiopians  were 
overthrown,  that  they  could  not 
recover  themselves;  for  they  were 
destroyed  before  the  Lord,  and 
before  his  host;  and  they  earned 
away  very  much  spoil. 

14  And  they  smote  all  the  cities 
about  Gerar;  for  the  fear  of  the 
Lord  came  upon  them :  and  they 
spoiled  the  cities;  for  there  was 
exceeding  much  spoil  in  them. 

15  They  smote  also  the  tents  of 
cattle,  and  carried  away  .sheep 
and  camels  in  abundance,  and  re- 
turned to  Jerusalem. 

Battle  of  the  hills  and  battle 
of  the  plain,  127,000  slain.  See  also 
death  of  king  Ahab,  1  Ki.  22.  29, 
p.  374. 

I'Ki.  20—1  And  Ben-hadad  the 
king  of  Syria  gathered  all  his  host 
together:  and  there  were  thirty 
and  two  kings  with  him,  and 
horses,  and  chariots:  and  he  went 
u^p  and  besieged  Samaria,  and 
warred  against  it. 

2  And  he  sent  messengers  to 
Ahab  king  of  Israel  into  the  city, 
and  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith 
Ben-hadad, 

3  Thy  silver  and  thy  gold  is 
mine ;  thy  wives  also  and  thy 
children,  even  the  goodliest,  are 
mine. 

11  And  the  king  of  Israel  an- 
swered and  said.  Tell  him.  Let  not 
him  that  girdeth  on  his  harness 
boast  himself  as  he  that  putteth 
it  off, 

12  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
Ben-hadad  heard  this  message,  as 
he  was  drinking,  he  and  the  kings 
in  the  pavilions,  that  he  said  unto 
his  servants.  Set  yoiirselves  in  ar- 


431 


ray.    And  they  set  themselves  in 
•^array  against  the  city. 

13  Aud,  behold,  there  came  a 
prophet  unto  Ahah  king  of  Israel, 
saying,  Thus  saith  tne  Lord, 
Hast  thou  seen  all  this  great  mul- 
titude? behold,]  will  deliver  itm- 
to  thine  hand  this  day ;  and  thou 
Shalt  know  that  1  am  the  Lord. 

14  And  Ahab  said.  By  whom? 
And  he  said.  Thus  .saith  the  Lord, 
Even  by  the  young  men  of  the 
princes  of  the  provinces.  Then  he 
said.  Who  shall  order  the  battle? 
And  he  answered.  Thou. 

15  Then  he  numbered  the  young 
men  of  the  princes  of  the  prov- 
inces, and  they  were  two  hundred 
and  thirty  two:  and  after  them 
he  numbered  all  the  people,  even 
all  the  children  of  Israel,  being 
seven  thousand. 

19  So  these  yomig  men  of  the 
princes  of  the  provinces  came  out 
of  the  city,  and  the  army  which 
followed  them. 

20  And  they  slew  every  one  his 
man:  and  the  Syrians  fled;  and 
Israel  pursued  them:  and  Ben- 
hadad  the  king  of  Syria  escaped 
on  a  horse  with  the  horsemen. 

21  And  the  king  of  Israel  went 
out,  and  smote  the  horses  and 
chariots,  and  slew  the  Syrians 
with  a  great  slaughter. 

23  And  the  servants  of  the  king 
of  Syria  said  unto  him.  Their  gods 
are  gods  of  the  hills;  therefore 
they  were  stronger  than  we ;  but 
let  us  fight  against  them  in  the 
plain,  and  surely  we  shall  be 
stronger  than  they. 

24  And  do  this  thing,  Take  the 
kings  away,  and  put  captains  in 
their  rooms. 

26  And  at  the  return  of  the  year, 
Benhadad  numbered  the  Syrians, 
and  went  up  to  Aphek,  to  fight 
against  Israel. 

27  And  the  childrenof  Israel  were 
numbered,  and  pitched  before 
them  like  two  little  flocks  of  kids ; 
but  the  Syrians  filled  the  country. 

28  And  there  came  a  man  of 
God,  and  spake  unto  the  king  of 
Israel,  and  said.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Because  the  Syrians  have 
said.  The  Lord  is  God  of  the  hills, 
but  he  is  not  God  of  the  valleys, 
therefore  will  I  deliver  all  this 
great  multitude  into  thine  hand, 
and  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the 
Lord. 

29  And  they  pitched  one  over 


against  the  other  seven  days. 
And  so  it  was,  that  in  the  seventh 
day  the  battle  was  joined:  and 
the  children  of  Israel  slew  of  the 
Syrians  a  hundred  thousand  foot- 
men in  one  day. 

30  But  the  rest  fled  to  Aphek,  in- 
to the  city;  and  there  a  wall  fell 
upon  twenty  and  seven  thousand 
of  the  men  that  were  left. 

Jehoshaphat's  army  of  1,160,000  j 
men. 

2  Chr.  17—12   And  Jehoshaphat  ; 
waxed  great  exceedingly ;  and  he 
built  in  Judah  castles,  and  cities  ■ 
of  store.  ,      .  . 

13  And  he  had  much  busmess  in 
the  cities  of  Judah :  and  the  men 
of  war,  mighty  men  of  valour, 
were  iu  Jerusalem. 

u  And  these  are  the  numbers  of 
them  according  to  the  house  of 
their  fathers:  Uf  Judah,  the  cap- 
tains of  thousands;  Adnah  the 
chief,  and  with  him  mighty  men 
of  valour  three  hundred  thousand. 

15  And  next  to  him  was  Jeho- 
hanan  the  captain,  and  with  him 
two  hundred  and  four-score  thou- 
sand. . 

16  And  next  him  was  Amasiah 
the  son  of  Zichri,  who  willingly 
offered  himself  unto  the  Lord; 
and  with  him  two  hundred  thou- 
sand mighty  men  of  valour. 

17  And  of  Benjamin;  Eliada  a 
mighty  man  of  valour,  and  with 
him  armed  men  with  bow  and 
shield  two  hundred  thousand. 

18  And  next  him  was  Jehozabad, 
and  with  him  a  hundred  and 
fourscore  thousand  readyprepared 
for  the  war.  ,     ,  . 

19  These  waited  on  the  king,  be- 
sides those  whom  the  king  put  m 
the  fenced  cities  throughout  all 
Judah.    p.  294. 

Jehoshaphat's  singing  battle,  or 
the  Lord's  battle. 

2  Chr.  20—1  It  came  to  pass  after 
this  also,  that  the  children  of 
Moab,  and  the  children  of  Am- 
nion, and  with  them  other  besides 
the  Ammonites,  came  against 
Jehoshaphat  to  battle. 

14  Then  upon  Jahaziel,  a  Levite 
of  the  sons  of  Asaph,  came  the 
Spirit  of  the  Lord  in  the  midst  of 
the  congregation; 

15  And  he  said.  Hearken  ye,  all 
Judah,  and  ye  inhabitants  of  J e- 


432 


rusalem,  and  tliou  king  Jehosha- 
phat,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  vuito 
yon,  Be  not  afraid  nor  dismayed 
by  reason  of  this  great  multitude ; 
for  the  battle  is  not  yours,  but 
God's. 

16  To  morrow  go  ye  down  against 
them:  behold,  they  come  up  by 
the  cliff  of  Ziz;  and  ye  shall  tiud 
them  at  the  end  of  the  brook,  be- 
fore the  wilderness  of  Jeruel. 

17  Ye  shall  not  need  to  tight  in 
this  battle:  set  yourselves,  stand 
ye  still,  and  see  the  salvation  of 
the  Lord  with  you,  O  Judah  and 
Jerusalem :  fear  not,  nor  be  dis- 
mayed :  to  morrow  go  out  against 
them :  for  the  Lord  will  be  with 
you. 

20  And  they  rose  early  in  the 
morning,  and  went  forth  into  the 
wilderness  of  Tekoa:  and  as  they 
went  forth,  Jehoshaphat  stood  and 
said.  Hear  me,  O  Judah,  and  ye 
inhabitants  of  Jenisalem :  Believe 
in  the  Lord  your  God,  so  shall  ye 
be  established ;  believe  his  proph- 
ets, so  shall  ye  prosper. 

21  And  when  he  nad  consulted 
with  the  people,  he  appointed 
singers  unto  the  Lord,  and  that 
should  praise  the  beauty  of  holi- 
ness, as  they  went  out  before  the 
army,  and  to  say.  Praise  the  Lord  ; 
for  his  mercy  endureth  for  ever. 

22  And  when  they  began  to  sing 
and  to  praise,  the  Lord  set  am- 
bushments  against  the  children 
of  Ammon,  Moab,  and  mount  8eir, 
which  were  come  against  Judah ; 
and  they  were  smitten. 

23  For  the  children  of  Ammon 
and  Moab  stood  up  against  the  in- 
habitants of  mount  Seir,  utterly 
to  slay  and  destroy  them:  and 
when  they  had  made  an  end  of  the 
inhabitants  of  Seir,  every  one 
helped  to  destroy  anothei-. 

24  And  when  Judah  came  toward 
the  watchtower  in  the  wilderness, 
they  looked  unto  the  miiltitude, 
and,  behold,  they  were  dead  bod- 
ies fallen  to  the  earth,  and  none 
escaped,    p.  267. 


The  king  of  Israel,  Judah,  and 
Edom  fought  against  the  king  of 
Moab.  Water  miraculously  sup- 
plied.   "  Moab  to  the  spoils." 

2  Ki.  3—6  IT  And  king  Jehoram 
went  out  of  Samaria,  and  number- 
ed all  Israel. 

7  And  he  went  and  ^ent  to  Je- 


hoshaphat the  king  of  Judah,  sav- 
ing, The  king  of  Moab  hath  rebel- 
led against  me:  wilt  thou  go  with 
me  against  Moab  to  battle?  And 
he  said,  I  will  go  up :  I  am  as  thou 
art,  my  people  as  tliy  people,  and 
my  horses  as  thy  horses. 

8  And  he  said.  Which  way  shall 
we  go  up?  And  he  answered,  Tlie 
way  through  the  wilderness  of 
Edom. 

9  So  the  king  of  Israel  went,  and 
the  king  of  Judah,  aud  the  king  of 
Edom:  aud  they  fetched  a  com- 
pass of  seven  days' journey:  and 
there  was  no  water  for  the  host, 
and  for  the  cattle  that  followed 
them. 

16  And  Elisha  said.  Thus  saitli 
the  Lord,  Make  this  valley  full 
of  ditches. 

17  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye 
shall  not  see  wind,  neither  shall 
ye  see  rain;  yet  that  valley  shall 
be  filled  with  water,  that  ye  may 
drink,  both  ye,  and  your  cattle, 
and  your  beasts. 

18  Aud  this  is  but  a  light  thing 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord:  he  will 
deliver  the  Moabites  also  into  your 
hand. 

19  And  ye  shall  smite  every 
fenced  city,  and  every  choice  city, 
and  shall  fell  every  good  tree,  and 
stop  all  wells  of  water,  and  mar 
every  good  piece  of  land  with 
stones. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the 
morning,  when  the  meat  offering 
was  offered,  that,  behold,  there 
came  water  by  the  way  of  Edom, 
and  the  country  was  filled  with 
water. 

21  And  when  all  the  Moabites 
heard  that  the  kings  were  come  up 
to  fight  against  them,  they  gath- 
ered all  that  were  able  to  put  on 
armour,  aud  upward,  and  stood  in 
the  border. 

22  And  they  rose  up  early  m  the 
morning,  and  the  sun  shone  upon 
the  water,  aud  the  Moabites  saw 
the  water  on  the  other  side  as  red 
as  blood : 

23  And  they  said.  This  is  blood : 
the  kings  are  surely  slain,  and 
they  have  smitten  one  another: 
now  therefore,  Moab,  to  the  spoil. 

24  And  when  they  came  to  the 
camp  of  Israel,  the  Israelites  rose 
up  and  smote  the  Moabites,  so  that 
they  tied  before  them:  but  they 
went  forward  smiting  the  Moab- 
ites, even  in  their  coiintry.

25  And  they  beat  down  the 
cities,  and  on  every  good  piece  oi 
land  cast  every  man  his  stone, 
and  tilled  it;  and  they  stopped 
all  the  wells  of  water,  and  lelled 
all  the  good  trees:  only  m  Ku- 
haraseth  left  they  the  stones 
thereof;  how  belt  the  shngers 
went  about  it.  and  smote  it. 

26  And  when  the  king  of  Moab 
saw  that  the  battle  was  too  sore 
for  him,  he  took  with  him  seven 
hundred  men  that  drew  swords,  to 
break  through  even  unto  the  knig 
of  Edom  :  but  they  could  not. 

27  Then  he  took  his  eldest  son 
that  .should  have  reigned  ui  his 
stead,  and  offered  him  for  a  burnt 
offering  upon  the  wall.  And  there 
was  great  indignation  against  Is- 
rael :  and  they  departed  from  him, 
and  returned  to  tneir  own  land. 

The  Syrian  army  sent  to  appre- 
hend Elisha  was  struck  with 
blindness.  The  Syrian  army  sent 
against  Samaria  was  frightened 
away  by  the  Lord. 

2  Ki.  6—8  Then  the  king  of  Syria 
warred  against  Israel. 

13  And  he  said,  Go  and  spy 
where  Elisha  is,  that  1  may  send 
and  fetch  him.  And  it  was  told 
him,  saying,  he  is  in  Dothan. 

14  Therefoie  sent  lie  thither 
horses,  and  chariots,  and  a  great 
host:  and  they  came  by  night, 
and  compassed  the  city  about. 

18  And  Elisha  prayed  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said.  Smite  this  people 
I  pray  thee,  with  blindness.    And 
he  smote  them    with   blindness 
according  to  the  word  of  Elisha. 

19  And  Elisha  said  unto  them, 
This  is  not  the  way,  neither  is  this 
the  city:  follow  me,  and  I  will 
bring  you  to  the  man  whom  ye 
seek.  But  he  led  them  to  Samaria. 

20  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
they  were  come  into  Samaria,  that 
Elisha  said.  Lord,  open  the  eyes 
of  these  men,  that  they  may  see. 
And  the  Lord  opened  their  eyes, 
and  they  saw;  and,  behold,  they 


were  in  the  midst  of  Samaria.    . 

21  And  the  king  of  Israel  said 
unto  Elisha.  when  he  saw  them. 
My  father,  shall  I  smite  them? 

22  And  he  answered.  Thou  shalt 
not  smite  them:  wouldest  thou 
smite  those  whom  thou  hast  taken 
captive  with  thy  sword  and  witli 
thy  bow?   set  bread  and  water 


before  them,  that  they  may  eat 
and  drink,  and  go  to  their  master. 

23  And  he  prepared  great  pro- 
vision for  them:  and  wiien  they 
hadeateu  and  drunk, hesentthem 
away,  and  they  went  to  their  mas- 
ter. So  the  bands  of  Syria  came 
no  more  into  the  land  of  Israel. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass  after 
this,  that  Ben-hadad  king  of  Syria 
gathered  all  his  host,  and  went 
up,  and  besieged  Samaria. 

2.5  And  there  was  a  great  famine 
in  Samaria:  and,  behold, they  be- 
sieged it,  until  an  a.ss's  head  was 
sold  for  fourscore  pieces  of  silver, 
and  the  fourth  part  of  a  cab  of 
dove's  dung  for  five  pieces  of  sil- 
ver,   p.  82,  83. 

2  Ki.  7—1  Then  Elisha  said.  Hear 
ye  the  word  of  the  Lord  ;  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  To  morrow  about 
this  time  shall  a  measure  of  line 
flour  be  sold  for  a  shekel,  and  two 
measm-es  of  barley  for  a  shekel, 
in  the  gate  of  Samaria. 

3  And  there  were  four  leprous 
men  at  the  entering  in  of  the  gate : , 
and  they  said  one  to  another. 
Why  sit  we  here  until  we  die? 

4  If  we  say.  We  will  enter  into 
the  city,  then  the  famine  is  in  the 
city,  and  we  shall  die  there :  and 
if  we  sit  still  here,  we  die  also. 
Nowthereforecome,and  let  us  fall 
unto  the  host- of  the  Syrians:  i£ 
they  save  us  alive,  we  shall  live ; 
and  if  they  killus,  we  shall  but  die. 

5  And  they  rose  up  in  the  twi- 
light, to  go  unto  the  camp  of  the 
Syrians:  and  when  they  were 
come  to  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
camp  of  Syria,  behold,  there  was 
no  man  there.         ,     ,         ,     ^, 

6  For  the  Lord  had  made  the 
host  of  the  Syrians  to  hear  a  noise 
of  chariots,  and  a  noise  of  horsesi 
even  the  noise  of  a  great  host :  and 
they  said  one  to  another,  Lo,  the 
king  of  Israel  hath  hired  against 
us  the  kings  of  the  Hittites,  and 
the  kings  of  the  Egyptians,  to 
come  upon  us. 

7  Wherefore  they  arose  and  flecl 
in  the  twilight,  and  left  their 
tents,  and  their  horses,  and  then- 
asses,  even  the  camp  as  it  was, 
and  tied  for  their  life.  ^ 

8  And  when  these  lepers  came  to 
the  uttermost  part  of  the  camp, 
they  went  into  one  tent,  and  am 
eat  and  drink,  and  carried  thence 
silver,  and  gold,  and  raiment,  and 
went  and  hid  it ;  and  came  again, 


434 


and  entered  iuto  another  tent, 
and  carried  thence  also,  and  went 
and  hid  it. 

9  Then  they  said  one  to  another. 
We  do  not  well:  this  day  is  a  day 
of  ^'ood  tidings,  and  we  hold  our 
peace:  if  we  tarry  till  the  morning 
light,  some  mischief  will  come 
upon  us:  now  therefore  come, 
that  we  may  go  and  tell  the 
king's  household. 

14  And  the  king  sent  after  the 
ho.st  of  the  Syrians,  saying.  Go 
and  see. 

15  And  they  went  after  them 
unto  Jordan:  and,  lo,  all  the  way 
was  full  of  garments  and  vessels, 
which  the  Syrians  had  cast  away 
in  their  haste.  And  the  messen 
gers  returned,  and  told  the  king 

16  And  tlie  people  went  out,  and 
spoiled  the  tents  of  the  Syrians. 
So  a  measure  of  tine  flour  was  sold 
for  a  shekel,  and  two  measures  of 
harley  for  a  shekel,  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord. 

Amaziah  with  an  army  of  300,noo 
men  defeated  the  children  of  Seir, 
23,0(X)  slain. 

2  Chr.  2&— 5  Amaziah  gathered 
Judah  together:  and  he  numbered 
them  from  twenty  years  old  and 
above,  and  found  them  three  hun- 
dred thousand  choice  men,  able 
to  go  forth  to  war,  that  could  han- 
dle spear  and  shield. 

6  He  hired  also  a  hundred  thou- 
sand mighty  men  of  valour  out  of 
Israel  for  a  hundred  talents  of 
silver. 

7  But  there  came  a  man  of  God 
to  him,  saying,  O  king,  let  not  the 
army  of  Israel  go  with  thee ;  for 
the  Lord  is  not  with  Israel,  to  wit, 
with  all  the  children  of  Ephraim. 

8  But  if  thou  wilt  go,  do  it,  be 
strong  for  the  battle:  God  shall 
make  thee  fall  before  the  enemy: 
for  God  hath  power  to  help,  and 
to  cast  down. 

9  And  Amaziah  said  to  the  man 
of  God,  But  what  shall  we  do  for 
the  hundred  talents  which  1  have 
given  to  the  army  of  Israel  ?  And 
the  man  of  God  answered.  The 
Lord  is  able  to  give  thee  much 
more  than  this. 

10  Then  Amaziah  separated 
them,  to  wit,  the  army  that  was 
come  to  him  out  of  Ephraim,  to  go 
home  again:  wherefore  their  an- 
ger was  greatly  kindled  against 
Judah,  and  they  returned  home 
in  great  anger. 


11  And  Amaziah  strengthened 
himself,  and  led  forth  his  people, 
and  went  to  the  valley  of  salt,  and 
smote  of  the  children  of  Seir  ten 
thousand. 

12  And  other  ten  thousand  left 
alive  did  the  children  of  Judah 
carry  away  captive,  and  brought 
them  unto  the  top  of  the  rock, 
and  cast  them  down  from  the  top 
of  the  rock,  that  they  all  were 
broken  in  pieces. 

13  H  But  the  soldiers  of  the  army 
which  Amaziah  sent  back,  that 
they  should  not  go  with  him  to 
battle,  fell  upon  the  cities  of  Ju- 
dah, from  Samaria  even  vmto 
Beth-horon,  and  smote  three  thou- 
sand of  them,  and  took  much  spoil. 

120,000  Jews  slain  in  one  day,  be- 
cause they  had  forsaken  the  Lord. 
The  cliildren  of  Israel  carried 
away  captive  of  their  own  breth- 
ren 200,000. 

2  Chr.  28—6  Pekah  the  son  of 
Remaliali  slew  in  Judah  a  hun- 
dred and  twenty  thousand  in  one 
day,  which  were  all  valiant  men ; 
because  they  had  forsaken  the 
Lord  God  of  their  fathers. 

8  And  the  children  of  Israel  car- 
ried away  captive  of  their  brethren 
two  hundred  thousand,  women, 
sons,  and  daughters,  and  took  also 
away  much  spoil  from  them,  and 
brought  the  spoil  to  Samaria. 

9  But  a  prophet  of  the  Lord  was 
there,  whose  name  wasOded:  and 
he  went  out  before  the  host  that 
came  to  Samaria,  and  said  unto 
them.  Behold,  because  the  Lord 
God  of  your  fathers  was  wroth 
with  Judah,  he  hath  delivered 
them  into  your  hand,  and  ye  have 
slain  them  in  a  rage  that  reacheth 
up  unto  heaven. 

10  And  now  ye  purpose  to  keep 
under  the  children  of  Judah  and 
Jerusalem  for  bondmen  and  bond- 
women unto  you:  but  are  there 
not  with  you,  even  with  you,  sins 
against  the  Lord  your  God? 

11  Now  hear  me  therefore,  and 
deliver  the  captives  again,  which 
ye  have  taken  captive  of  your 
brethren:  for  the  tierce  wrath  of 
the  Lord  is  upon  you. 

14  So  the  armed  men  left  the 
captives  and  the  sijoil  before  the 
princes  and  all  the  congregation. 

15  And  the  men  which  were  ex- 
pressed by  name  ro.se  up,  and  took 
the  captives,  and  with  the  spoil 


435 


clothed  all  that  were  naked 
amoug  them,  and  arrayed  them. 
and  shod  them,  and  gave  theni  to 
eat  and  to  drink,  and  anomted 
them,  and  earned  all  the  feehle 
of  them  upon  asses,  and  brougnt 
them  to  Jericho,  the  city  ot  pahn 
trees,  to  their  brethren :  then  they 
returned  to  Samaria. 

An  angel  of  the  Lord  smote 
185.000  Assyrians  in  one  night. 
See  also  2  Chr.  32.  21,  Is.  37.  36. 

2  Ki  19—20  Then  Isaiah  the, son 
of  Amoz  sent  to  Hezekiah.  saying. 
Thus  saith  the  Lokd  Uod  ot 
Israel,  That  which  thou  hast 
prayed  to  me  against  Sennacherib 
king  of  Assyria  I  have  heard. 

32  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
concerning  the  king  of  Assyria, 
He  shall  not  come  mto  this  city , 
nor  shoot  an  arrow  there,  nor 
come  before  it  with  shield,  nor 
cast  a  blank  against  it. 

33  By  the  way  that  he  came,  b5 
the  same  shall  he  return,  and 
shall  not  come  into  this  city. 

34  For  I  will  defend  this  city,  to 
save  it.  for  mine  own  sake,  and 
for  my  servant  David's  sake. 

35  And  it  came  to  pass  that 
night,  that  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
went  out.  and  smote  m  the  camp 
of  the  Assyrians  a  hundred  tour- 
score  and  live  thousand :  ai  d  when 
thev  arose  early  in  the  morning, 
be  hold,  they  were  all  dead  corpses 

3C  So  Sennacherib  king  of  As- 
syria departed,  and  went  and  re 
turned,  and  dwelt  at  Nmeveh 

37  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was 
worshipping  in  the  house  ot  JNis- 
roch  his  god,  that  Adraramelech 
and  Sharezer  his  sons  smote  him 
with  the  sword:  and  they  es- 
caped into  the  land  of  Armenia. 
And  Esar-haddon  his  son  reigned 
in  his  stead.

Eze.  38—1  And  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  set  thy  face  a- 
gainst  Gog.  the  land  ot  Magog 
the  chief  prince  ot  Meshech  and 
Tubal,  and  prophesy  against  him, 

3  And  say.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  Behold,  I  am  against  thee, 
O  Gog.  the  chief  prince  of  Me- 
shech and  Tubal :     ,       ,      ,         , 

4  And  I  will  turn  thee  back,  ana 
put  hooks  into  thy  jaws,  and  1  will 
bring  thee  forth,  and  all  thine 
army,  horses  and  horsemen,  all  ot 
them  clothed  with  all  sorts  of  ar- 
mour, even  a  great  company  with 
bucklers  and  shields,  all  of  them 
handling  swards:    . 

5  Persia,  Ethiopia,  and  Libya 
with  them;  all  of  them  with 
shield  and  helmet:  . 

6  Gomer,  and  all  his  hands;  the 
house  of  Togarmah  of  the  north 
quarters,  and  all  his  bauds:  and 
many  people  with  thee. 

14  Therefore,  son  of  man,  proph- 
esy and  say  unto  Gog,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  ;  In  that  day  when 
my  people  of  Israel  dwelleth 
safely,  shalt  thou  not  know  it? 

15  And  thou  .shall  come  from 
thy  place  out  of  the  north  parts, 
thou,  and  many  people  with  thee, 
all  of  them  riding  upon  horses,  a 
great   company,    and   a  mighty 

tirii.iv ' 

16  And  thou  shalt  come  up 
against  my  people  of  Israel,  as  a 
cloud  to  cover  the  laud;  it  sha 
be  in  the  latter  days,  and  I  will 
bring  thee  against  my  land,  that 
the  heathen  may  know  me,  when 
I  shall  be  sanctitied  in  thee,  O 
Gog,  before  their  eyes. 

18  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  at 
the  same  time  when  Gog  shall 
come  against  the  land  of  Israel, 
saith  the  Lord  God,  that  my  fury 
shall  come  up  in  my  face.     . 

19  For  in  my  jealousy  and  m  the 
fire  of  my  wrath  have  I  spoken. 
Surely  in  that  day  there  shall  be 
a  great  shaking  in  the  land  of 

^20*So  that  the  fishes  of  the  sea. 
and  the  fowls  of  the  heaven  and 
the  beasts  of  the  field,  and  all 
creeping  things  that  creep  upon 
the  earth,  and  all  the  men  that  are 
upon  the  face  of  the  earth,  shall 
shake  at  my  presence,  and  the 
mountains  shall  be  throwii  down, 
and  the  steep  places  shall  fall,  and 
every  wall  shall  f  al  1  to  the  ground.

21  And  I  will  call  for  a  sword 
agaiust  him  throughout  all  uiy 
liiouutaiiis,  saith  the  Lord  God: 
every  man's  sword  shall  be  agaiust 
his  brother. 

22  And  I  will  plead  agaiust  him 
with  pestilence  and  with  blood; 
and  I  will  rain  upon  him,  and  upon 
the  many  people  that  are  with 
him,  an  overflowing  raiu,  and 
great  hailstones,  fire,  aud  brim- 
stone. 

23  Thus  will  1  magnify  myself, 
and  sanctify  myself ;  aud  I  will  be 
known  in  the  eyes  of  many  na- 
tions, and  they  shall  know  that  1 
aui  the  Lord. 

Eze.  39—1  Therefore,  son  of  man, 
prophecy  agaiust  Gog,  aud  say. 
Thus  saith  the  Lord  God  ;  Behold, 
I  am  against  thee, O  God,  the  cliiei 
prince  of  Meshech  aud  Tubal: 

2  Aud  1  will  turn  thee  back,  aud 
leave  but  the  sixth  part  of  thee. 

3  And  I  will  smite  thy  bow  out 
of  thy  left  hand,  aud  thine  arrows 
out  of  thy  right  hand. 

4  Thou  shalt  fall  upon  the 
mountains  of  Israel,  thou,  aud  all 
thy  bands,  and  the  people  that  is 
with  thee:  I  will  give  thee  unto 
the  raveuous  birds  of  every  sort, 
and  to  the  beasts  of  the  field,  to 
be  devoured. 

5  Thou  shalt  fall  upon  the  ojien 
field:  for  I  have  spoKeu  it,  saith 
the  Lord  God. 

6  And  I  will  send  a  fire  on  Ma- 
gog, and  among  them  that  dwell 
carelessly  in  the  isles:  and  they 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord.  " 

8  Behold,  it  is  come,  aud  it  is 
done,  saith  the  Lord  God;  this  is 
the  day  whereof  I  have  spoken. 

9  And  they  that  dwell  in  the 
cities  of  Israel  sliall  go  forth,  and 
shall  set  on  fire  and  burn  the 
weapons,  both  the  shields  and  the 
bucklers,  the  bows  and  the  arrows, 
aud  the  handstaves,  and  the 
spears,  and  they  shall  bui-n  them 
with  fire  seven  years: 

10  Sothatthey  shall  takenowood 
out  of  the  field,  neither  cut  down 
any  out  of  the  forests;  for  they 
shall  burn  the  weapons  with  fire: 
and  they  shall  spoil  those  that 


spoiled  them,  and  rob  those  that 
robbed  them,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

11  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day.  that  I  will  give  unto  Gog 
a  place  there  of  graves  in  Israel, 
the  valley  of  the  passengers  on  the 
east  of  the  sea;  and  it  shall  stop 
the  uoses  of  the  passengers:  and 
there  shall  they  bury  Gog  aud  all 
his  multitude:  and  they  shall  call 
it.  The  valley  of  Hamou-gog. 

12  Aud  seven  mouths  shall  the 


be    burying  of 


house  of  Israel 
them. 

13  Yea,  all  the  people  of  the  land 
shall  bury  them;  and  it  shall  be 
to  them  a  renown  the  day  that 
I  shall  be  glorified,  saith  the 
Lord. 

14  Aud  they  shall  sever  out  men 
of  continual  employment,  passing 
through  the  land,  to  bury  with 
the  passengers  those  that  remai)i 
upon  the  face  of  the  earth,  to 
cleanse  it:  after  the  end  of  seven 
months  shall  they  search. 

15  And  the  passengers  that  pass 
through  the  land,  when  anyseeth 
a  man's  bone,  then  shall  he  set 
up  a  sign  by  itt  till  the  buriers 
have  buried  it  in  the  valley  of 
Hamou-gog. 

16  And  also  the  name  of  the  city 
shall  be  Hamonah. 

17  And,  thou  son  of  man,  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God:  Speak  unto 
every  feathered  fowl,  and  to  every 
beast  of  the  field,  Assemble  your- 
selves, and  come'  gather  your- 
selves on  every  side  to  my  sacri- 
fice that  I  do  sacrifice  for  you, 
even  a  great  sacrifice  upon  the 
mountains  of  Israel,  that  ye  may 
eat  flesh,  and  drink  blood. 

18  Ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the 
mighty,  aud  di-ink  the  blood  of  the 
princes  of  the  earth,  of  rams,  of 
lambs,  and  of  goats,  of  bullocks, 
all  of  them  fathngsof  Bashan. 

19  And  ye  shall  eat  fat  till  ye 
be  full,  and  drink  blood  till  ye  be 
drunken,  of  my  sacrifice  which  I 
have  sacrificed  for  you. 

20  Thus  ye  shall  be  filled  at  my 
table  with  horses  aud  chariots, 
with  mighty  men,  and  with  all 
men  of  war,  saith  the  Lord  God.

1  Ki.  3—16  Then  came  there  two 
women,  that  were  harlots,  unto 
king  Solomon,  and  stood  before 
him.  .J    ,-, 

17  And  the  cue  woman  said,  O 
my  lord,  I  aud  this  woman  dwell 
in  one  house ;  and  I  was  delivered 
of  a  child  with  her  in  the  house. 

18  Aud  the  third  day  after  I  was 
delivered,  this  woman  was  deliv- 
ered also:  and  we  were  together; 
there  was  no  stranger  with  vis  in 
the  house.  ,     ,.,,,., 

19  Aud  this  woman's  child  died 
in  the  night;  because  she  over- 
laid it.  .  ,    .   ,  ^ 

20  And  she  arose  at  midnight, 
and  took  my  sou  from  beside  me, 
while  thine  handmaid  slept,  and 
laid  it  iu  her  bosom,  aud  laid  her 
dead  child  iu  my  bosom. 

21  And  when  I  rose  in  the  morn- 
ing to  give  my  child  suck,  behold, 
it  was  dead :  but  when  1  had  con- 
sidered it,  behold,  it  was  not  my 
son,  which  I  did  bear. 

22  And  the  other  woman  said. 
Nay ;  but  the  living  is  my  son,  and 
the  dead  is  thy  son.  And  this  said , 
No;  but  the  dead  is  thy  son,  and 
the  living  is  my  son.  Thus  they 
spake  before  the  king. 

23  Then  said  the  king,  The  one 
saith.  This  is  my  son  that  liveth, 
and  thy  son  is  the  dead :  and  the 
other  saith.  Nay;  but  thy  son  is 
the  dead,  and  my  son  is  the  living. 

24  And  the  king  said.  Bring  me  a 
sword.    And  they  brought  asword. 

25  And  the  king  said.  Divide  the 
living  child  in  two,  and  give  half 
to  the  one,  and  half  to  the  other. 

26  Then  spake  the  woman  whose 
the  living  child  was  unto  the  king, 
for  her  bowels  yearned  upon  her 
.son,  and  she  said,  O  my  lord,  give 
her  the  living  child,  and  in  no  wise 
slay  it.    But  the  other  said.  Let  it 


be  neither  mine  nor  thine,  but  di- 
vide it.  ,       , 

27  Then  the  king  answered  and 
said.  Give  her  the  livhig  child,  and 
in  no  wise  slay  it :  she  is  the  moth- 
er thereof,  jr.., 

28  And  all  Israel  heard  of  the 
judgment  which  the  king  had 
judged ;  and  they  feared  the  king : 
tor  they  saw  that  the  wisdom  of 
God  was  in  him  to  do  judgment. 

Jno.  8—2  And  early  in  the  morn- 
ing he  came  again  into  the  tem- 
ple, and  all  the  people  came  unto 
him ;  and  he  sat  down,  aud  taught 

them.  .,  ,  T^,      . 

3  And  the  scribes  and  Pharisees 
brought  unto  him  a  woman  taken 
iu  adultery;  and  when  they  had 
set  her  in  the  midst, 

4  Thev  say  unto  him.  Master, 
this  woman  was  taken  in  adultery, 
in  the  very  act. 

5  Now  Moses  in  the  law  com- 
manded us,  that  such  should  be 
stoned?  but  what  say  est  thou? 

6  This  they  said,  tempting  him, 
that  they  might  have  to  accuse 
him.  But  Jesus  stooped  down, 
and  with  his  finger  wrote  on  the 
ground,  as  though  he  heard  them 

7  Sowhen  they  continued  asking 
him,  he  lifted  up  himself,  and 
said  unto  them.  He  that  is  with- 
out sin  among  you,  let  him  first 
cast  a  stone  at  her. 

8  And  again  he  stooped  down, 
and  wrote  on  the  ground. _         . 

9  And  thev  which  heard  it, being 
convicted  bytheirown  conscience, 
went  out  one  by  one,  beginning  at 
the  eld  ist,  even  unto  the  last :  and 
Jesus  was  left  alone,  and  the  wo- 
man standing  in  the  midst.      . 

10  When  Jesus  had  lifted  up  him- 
self, and  saw  none  but  the  woman, 
he  said  unto  her.  Woman,  where 
are  those  thine  accusers?  hath  no 
man  condemned  thee? 

11  She  said.  No  man.  Lord.  And 
Jesus  said  unto  her.  Neither  do  I 
condemn  thee:  go,  and  sin  no 
more.  


Le.  19— 29  Do  not  prostitute  thy 
daughter,  to  cause  her  to  be  a 
whore ;  lest  the  land  fall  to  whore- 
dom, and  the  land  become  full  of 
wickedness.  , 

Le.  20—16  If  a  woman  approach 
unto  anv  beast,  and  lie  down 
thereto,  thou  .«halt  kill  the  wo- 


man,  and  the  beast:  they  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death;  their 
blood  shall  be  upon  them. 

Le.  21—9  And  the  daughter  of 
any  priest,  if  she  profane  herself 
by  playing  the  whore,  she  profan- 
eth  her  father:  she  shall  be  burnt 
with  fire. 

De.  23—17  There  shall  be  no 
whore  of  the  daughters  of  Israel, 
nor  a  sodomite  of  the  sons  oi 
Israel. 

18  Thou  shalt  not  bring  the  hire 
of  a  whore,  or  the  price  of  a  dog, 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord  thy 
(iod  for  any  vow:  for  even  both 
these  are  abomination  unto  the 
LoKD  thy  God. 

I  8a.  2—22  Eli  was  very  old,  and 
heard  all  that  his  sons  did ;  and 
liow  they  lay  with  tbe  women 
that  assembled  at  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

Pro.2 — 10  When  wisdom  entereth 
into  thine  heart,  and  knowledge 
is  pleasant  unto  thy  soul ; 

II  Discretion  shall  preserve  thee, 
understanding  shall  keep  thee. 

16  To  deliver  thee  from  the 
strange  woman,  even  from  the 
stranger  which  liattereth  with 
her  words; 

17  Which  forsaketh  the  guide  of 
her  youth,  and  forgetteth  the  cov- 
enant of  her  God. 

18  For  her  house  inclineth  unto 
death,  and  her  paths  unto  the 
dead. 

19  None  that  go  unto  her  return 
again,  neither  take  they  hold  of 
the  paths  of  life. 

Pro.  5—3  For  the  lips  of  a  strange 
Woman  drop  as  a  honeycomb,  and 
her  mouth  is  smoother  than  oil : 

4  But  her  end  is  bitter  as  worm- 
wood, sharp  as  a  twoedged  sword. 

5  Her  feet  go  down  to  death; 
her  steps  take  hold  on  hell. 

6  Lest  thou  shouldest  ponder 
the  path  of  life,  her  ways  are 
moveable,  that  thou  canst  not 
know  them. 

8  Remove  thy  way  far  from  her, 
and  come  not  nigh  the  door  of  her 
house: 

9  Lest  thou  give  thine  honour 
unto  others,  and  thy  years  unto 
the  cruel: 

10  Lest  strangers  be  filled  Avith 
tliy  wealth ;  and  thy  labours  be  in 
the  house  of  a  stranger; 

11  And  thou  mourn  at  the  last, 
when  thy  flesh  and  thy  body  are 
consumed. 

18  Let  thy  fountain  be  blessed : 


and  rejoice  with  the  wife  of  thy 
youth. 

19  Let  her  be  as  the  loving  hind 
and  pleassant  roe;  let  her  breasts 
satisfy  thee  at  all  times;  and  be 
thou  ravished  always  with  her 
love. 

20  And  why  wilt  thou,  my  son, 
be  ravished  with  a  strange  wo- 
man, and  embrace  the  bosom  of  a 
stranger? 

Pro.  6—23  For  the  commandment 
is  a  lamp;  and  the  law  is  light; 
and  reproofs  of  instruction  are  the 
way  of  life: 

24  To  keep  thee  from  the  evil 
woman,  from  the  flattery  of  the 
tongue  of  a  strange  woman. 

25  Lust  not  after  her  beauty  in 
thine  heart ;  neither  let  her  take 
thee  with  her  eyelids. 

26  For  by  means  of  a  whorish 
woman  a  man  is  brought  to  a 
piece  of  bread :  and  the  adulteress 
will  hunt  for  the  precious  life.  p. 
95. 

Pro.  7—1  My  son,  keep  my  words, 
and  lay  up  my  commandments 
with  thee. 

5  That  they  may  keep  thee  from 
the  strange  woman,  from  the 
stranger  which  flattereth  with 
her  words. 

6  For  at  the  window  of  my 
house  I  looked  through  my  case- 
ment, 

7  And  beheld  among  the  simple 
ones,  I  discerned  among  the 
youths,  a  young  man  void  of  un- 
derstanding, 

8  Passing  through  the  street 
near  her  corner;  and  he  went  the 
way  to  her  house, 

9  In  the  twilight,  in  the  evening, 
in  the  black  and  dark  night: 

10  And,  behold,  there  met  him  a 
woman  with  the  attire  of  a  harlot, 
and  subtile  of  heart. 

11  (She  is  loud  and  stubborn; 
her  feet  abide  not  in  her  house: 

12  Now  is  she  without,  now  iu 
the  streets,  and  lieth  in  wait  at 
every  corner.) 

i;j  iSoshecaiighthim,  and  kissed 
him,  and  with  an  impudent  face 
said  unto  him, 

14  1  have  peace  offerings  with 
me;  this  day  have  I  paid  my 
vows. 

15  Therefore  came  I  forth  to 
meet  thee,  diligently  to  seek  thy 
face,  and  I  have  found  thee. 

16  I  have  decked  my  bed  with 
coverings  of  tapestry,  with  ca^'ved 
works,  with  fine  linen  of  Egypt. 


439 


17  I  liave  perfumed  my  bed  with 
myrrh,  aloes,  and  ciunamon. 

18  Come,  let  us  take  our  till  of 
love  until  the  morning :  let  us  so- 
lace ourselves  with  loves. 

19  For  the  goodman  is  not  at 
home,  he  is  gone  a  long  journey: 

20  He  hath  taken  a  bag  of  mon- 
ey with  him,  and  will  come 
home  at  the  day  appointed. 

21  With  much  fair  speech  she 
caused  him  to  yield,  with  the 
flattering  of  her  lips  she  forced 
him.  .   , 

22  He  goeth  after  her  straight- 
way, as  an  ox  goeth  to  the  slaugh- 
ter, or  as  a  fool  to  the  correction 
of  the  stocks;  . 

23  Till  a  dart  strike  through  his 
liver;  as  a  bird  hasteth  to  the 
snare,  and  knoweth  not  that  it  is 
for  his  life. 

24  Hearken  unto  me  now  there- 
fore, O  ye  children,  and  attend  to 
the  words  of  my  mouth. 

25  Let  not  thine  heart  decline 
to  her  ways,  go  not  astray  in  her 
paths. 

26  For  she  hath  cast  down  many 
wounded :  yea,  many  strong  men 
have  been  slain  by  her. 

27  Her  house  is  the  way  to  hell, 
going  down  to  the  chambers  of 
death. 

Pro.  9—13  A  foolish  woman  is 
clamorous:  she  is  simple,  and 
knoweth  nothing. 

14  For  she  sitteth  at  the  door  of 
her  house,  on  a  seat  in  the  high 
places  of  the  city, 

1.5  To  call  passengers  who  go 
right  on  theii-  ways: 

16  Whoso  is  simple,  let  him  turn 
in  hither:  and  as  for  him  that 
wanteth  understanding,  she  saith 
to  him, 

17  Stolen  waters  are  sweet,  and 
bread  eaten  in  secret  is  pleas- 
ant. 

18  But  he  knoweth  not  that  the 
dead  are  there;  and  that  her 
guests  are  in  the  depths  of  hell. 

Pro.  22—14  The  mouth  of  strange 
women  is  a  deep  pit:  he  that  is 
abhorred  of  the  Lord  shall  fall 
therein. 

Pro.  23—27  For  a  whore  is  a  deep 
ditch;  and  a  strange  woman  is  a 
narrow  pit.  ,       .    , 

Pro.  29—3  Whoso  lovetVi  wisdom 
rejoiceth  his  father:  but  he  that 
keepeth  company  with  harlots 
spendeth  his  substance. 

Pro.  30—20  Such  is  the  way  of  an 
adulterous  woman;   she   eateth, 


and  wipeth  her  mouth,  and  saith, 
I  have  done  no  wickedness. 

Is.  57—3  Draw  near  hither,  ye 
sons  of  the  sorceress,  the  seed  of 
the  adulterer  and  the  whore. 

4  Against  whom  do  ye  sport 
yourselves?  against  whom  make 
ye  a  wide  mouth,  and  draw  out 
the  tongue?  are  ye  not  children 
of  transgression,  a  seed  of  false- 
hood, 

Je.  3—3  Therefore  the  showers 
have  been  withholden,  and  there 
hath  been  no  latter  rain;  and 
thou  hadst  a  whore's  forehead, 
thou  refusedst  to  be  ashamed. 

Je.  5—7  Thy  children  have  for- 
saken me,  when  1  had  fed  them 
to  the  full,  they  then  committed 
adultery,  and  assembled  them- 
selves by  troops  in  the  harlots' 
houses. 

8  They  were  as  fed  horses  m  the 
morning:  every  one  neighed  after 
his  neighbour's  wife. 

Ho.  4—11  Whoredom  and  wine 
and  new  wine  takeaway  tbeheart. 

13  Therefore  your  daughters 
shall  commit  whoredom,  and  your 
spouses  shall  commit  adultery. 

14  I  will  not  punish  your  daugh- 
ters when  they  commit  whore- 
dom, nor  your  spouses  when  they 
commit  adultery :  for  themselves 
are  separated  with  whores,  and 
they  sacrifice  with  harlots:  there- 
fore the  people  that  doth  not 
understand  shall  fall. 

He.  13—4  Marriage  is  honourable 
in  all,  and  the  bed  undefiled : 
but  whoremongers  and  adulterers 
God  will  judge. 

Ro.  1—24  Wherefore  God  also 
gave  them  up  to  uncleanness. 
through  the  lusts  of  their  own 
hearts,  to  dishonour  their  own 
bodies  between  themselves: 

25  Who  changed  the  truth  of 
God  into  a  lie,  and  worshipped 
and  served  the  creature  more 
than  the  Creator,  who  is  blessed 
for  ever.    Amen. 

26  For  this  cause  God  gave  them 
up  into  vile  affections:  for  even 
their  women  did  change  the  natu- 
ral use  into  that  which  is  against 
nature : 

27  And  likewise  also  the  men, 
leaving  the  natural  use  of  the 
woman,  burned  in  their  lust  one 
toward  another;  men  with  men 
working  that  which  is  unseemly, 
and  receiving  in  themselves  that 
recompense  of  their  error  which 
was  meet. 


440 


28  And  even  as  they  did  not  like 
to  retain  God  in  their  knowledge, 
God  gave  them  over  to  a  repro- 
bate mind,  to  do  those  things 
which  are  not  convenient; 

29  Being  tilled  with  all  unright- 
eousness, fornication,  wickedness, 
covetousness,  maliciousness;  full 
of  envy,  murder,  debate,  deceit, 
malignity;  whisperers, 

30  Backoiters.  haters  of  God,  de- 
spiteful, proud,  boasters,  invent- 
ors of  evil  things,  disobedient  to 
parents, 

31  Without  understanding,  cove- 
nant-breakers, without  natural  af- 
fection, inplacable,  unmerciful: 

32  Who,  knowing  the  judgment 
of  God,  that  they  which  commit 
such  things  are  worthy  of  death. 

THE  HAUGHTY  DAUGHTERS 
OF  ZION. 

Is.3— leMoreovertheLoRDsaith, 
Because  the  daughters  of  Zionare 
haughty,  and  walk  with  stretched 
forth  necks  and  wanton  eyes, 
walking  and  mincing  as  they" go. 
and  mailing  a  tinkling  with  their 
feet: 

17  Therefore  the  Lord  will  smite 
with  a  scab  the  crown  of  the  head 
of  the  daughters  of  Zion,  and  tlie 
Lord  will  discover  their  secret 
parts. 

18  In  that  day  the  Lord  will 
take  away  the  bravery  of  their 
twinkling  ornaments  about  their 
feet,  and  their  cauls,  and  their 
round  tires  like  the  moon. 

If)  The  chains,  and  the  bracelets, 
and  the  mufflers, 

20  The  bonnets,  and  the  orna- 
ments of  the  legs,  and  the  head- 
bands, and  the  tablets,  and  the 
earrings, 

21  The  rings,  and  nose  jewels. 

22  The  changeable  suits  of  ap- 
parel, and  the  mantels,  and  the 
wimples,  and  the  crispuig  pins, 

23  The  glasses,  and  the  tine  linen, 
and  the  noods,  and  the  vails. 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
instead  of  sweet  smell  there  shall 
be  stink ;  and  instead  of  a  girdle 
a  rent;  and  instead  of  well  set 
hair  baldness;  and  instead  of  a 
stomacher  a  girding  of  sackcloth ; 
and  burning  in.stead  of  beauty. 

25  Thy  men  shall  fall  bv  the 
sword,  and  thy  mighty  in  the  war. 

26  And  her  gates  shall  lament 
and  mourn;  and  she  being  deso- 
late shall  sit  upon  the  ground. 


RESURRECTION  OF  DRY 
BONES. 


Eze.  37—1  The  hand  of  the  Lord 
was  upon  me,  and  carried  me  out 
in  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord,  and  set 
me  down  in  the  midst  of  the  valley 
which  was  full  of  bones, 

2  And  caused  me  to  pass  by  them 
round  about:  and,  behold,  there 
were  very  many  in  the  open  val- 
ley: and,  lo,  they  were  very  drv. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son"  of 
man,  can  these  bones  live?  And 
1  answered,  O  Lord  God,  thou 
kno'west. 

4  Again  he  said  unto  me.  Proph- 
esy upon  these  bones,  and  sav  un- 
to them.  O  ye  dry  bones,  hear  the 
word  of  the  Lord. 

5  Behold,  I  will  cause  breath  to 
enter  into  you,  and  ye  shall  live: 

6  And  I  will  lay  sinews  upon 
you,  and  will  bring  up  flesh  upon 
you,  and  cover  you  with  skin,  and 
put  breath  in  you,  and  ve  shall 
live:  and  ye  shall  know  that  1  am 
the  Lord. 

7  So  I  prophesied  as  I  was  com- 
manded: and  as  I  prophesied, 
there  was  a  noise,  and  behold  a 
shaking,  and  the  bones  came  to- 
gether, bone  to  his  bone. 

8  And  wlien  I  beheld,  lo,  the  sin- 
ews and  the  flesh  came  up  upon 
them,  and  the  skin  covered  them 
above:  but  there  was  no  breath  in 
them. 

9  Then  said  he  unto  me.  Proph- 
esy unto  the  wind,  and  say  to  the 
wind,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Come  from  the  four  winds.  O 
breath,  and  breathe  upon  these 
slain,  that  they  may  live. 

10  So  I  prophesied  as  he  com- 
manded me,  and  the  breath  came 
into  them,  and  they  lived,  and 
stood  up  upon  their  feet,  an  ex- 
ceeding great  army. 

11  Then  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of 
man,  these  bones  are  the  whole 
house  of  Israel :  behold,  thev  sav. 
Our  bones  are  dried,  and  our  hope 
IS  lost :  we  are  cut  off  for  our  parts. 

l2Therefore  say  unto  them, Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold,  O 
my  people,  I  will  open  your  graves, 
and  cause  you  to  come  up  out  of 
your  graves,  and  bring  you  into 
the  land  of  Israel. 

14  And  shall  put  mv  Spirit  in 
you,  and  ye  shall  live,  ana  I  shall 
place  you  in  your  own  land :  then 
shall  ye  know  that  I  the  Lord 
have  spoken  it,  and  performed  it.

MASTER,  SLAVE,  SERVANT. 
BONDMEN.  BONDWOMEN. 
ETC.  

The  Bible  does  not  tell  us  any- 
thing about   the    beginning    of 
slavery,  or   how  or  when  it  be- 
came an  established  institution, 
unless  we  accept    the    story  of 
Noah  cursing  his  own  son  Ham ; 
and  it  is  claimed  that  his  deed 
was  so  dark,  and  that  the  curse 
was  so  terrible,  that  it  caused  him 
to   change  color,  and  from  him 
sprang  the  negro  race,  and   they 
becamethe  first  slaves  (Ge.  9. 20-25. 
p.  188).    And  why  should  millions 
of  people  from  that  day  to  this 
have   suffered  as  slaves  for  the 
fault  of  one  man?    I  suppose  it 
will  be  much  nearer  the  truth  to 
sav  that  slavery  began  in  a  very, 
very  early  day.  just  as  soon  as  self- 
ish,   strong-minded    man   found 
out  that  he  could  control  and  use 
to  his  own  advantage  his  weaker 
brother,  and  it  made  no  difference 
to  him  whether  he  was  white  or 
black,  a  blood  relation  or  a  strang- 
er;  and   according  to  the  Bible 
slavery  is  to  continue  to  the  end 
of  the    world   (Re.  6.  15.  p.  531). 
The  first  mention  of  aslave-owner 
was  Abraham,  the  man  who  was 
called  by  God  to  be  the  father  of 
his  chosen   people  (Ge.  12.  13.  15. 
and  17.  p.  148,  149).    And  he  owned 
three     hundred     and     eighteen 
slaves:  this  was  about  four  hun- 
dred years  after  that  terrible  curse 
fell  upon  Ham  (Ge.  14. 14,  p.  404.) 
Slavery  is  also  a  divine  institu- 
tution,  according  to    the    Bible. 
(Tod  himself  gave  Moses  all  the 
laws  in  regard  buying  and  sell- 
ing slaves,  their  treatment,  etc., 
beginning  with  the  ten  command- 
ments (Ex.  20.  p.  46  ;  and  Ex.  21 
Le.  2.5.  De.  15,  etc.,  following).    All 
the  prominent  and  rich  men,  and 
in  fact  any  one    who    was  able, 
owned  slaves  during  Bible  days, 
including  the  priest  and  the  great 
apostle    Paul.      Christ     himself 
never  condemned  slavery,  and  his 
apostles  upheld  it  to  the  full  ex- 
tent of  the  laws,  and  gave  instruc- 
tion as  to  how  they  were  to  be 
treated,   etc.;    and   it  is  a  well 
known  fact  that  slavery  would  be 
in    existence  to-day  on  our  own 
soil,  and  all  over  the  world,  were 
it  only  profitable.    The  lack   of 


jH'otit  and  not  the  sympathy  of 
man  caused  the  freedom  of  the 
slaves  in  our  own  country;  and 
may  it  ever  be  thus.

Ex.  21—1  Now  these  are  the 
judgments  which  thou  shalt  set 
before  them. 

2  If  thou  buy  a  Hebrew  servant. 
six  years  he  shall  serve:  and  in 
the  seventh  he  shall  go  out  free 
for  nothing. 

3  If  lie  came  in  by  himself,  he 
sliall  go  out  by  himself:  if  he 
were  mamed,  then  his  wife  shall 
go  out  with  him. 

4  If  his  master  have  given  him 
a  wife,  and  .she  have  borne  him 
sons  or  daughters;  the  wife  and 
her  children  shall  be  her  master's, 
and  he  shall  go  out  by  himself. 

5  And  if  the  servant  shall 
plainly  say,  I  love  my  master,  my 
wife,  and  my  children;  I  will  not 
go  out  free :  ,  ,    . 

6  Then  his  master  shall  bring 
him  unto  the  judges ;  he  shall  also 
bring  him  to  the  door,  or  unto  the 
door  post;  and  his  master  shall 
bore  his  ear  through  with  an  awl ; 
and  he  shall  serve  liim  for  ever. 

7  And  if  a  man  sell  his  daiigh- 
ter  to  be  a  maidservant,  she  shall 
not  go  out  as  the  menservants 
do. 

8  If  she  please  not  her  master, 
who  hath  oetrothed  her  to  hini- 
,self.  then  shall  he  let  her  be  re- 
deemed :  to  sell  her  unto  a  strange 
nation  he  shall  have  no  power, 
seeing  he  hath  dealt  deceitfully 
with  her.  ,  ,     ,  , 

9  And  if  he  have  betrothed  her 
unto  his  .son.  he  shall  deal  with 
her  after  the  manner  of  daugh- 
ters.

of  the  trespass  offering  before  the 
Lord  for  his  sin  whicli  he  hath

as  a  sojourner,  he  shall  l^  with

with  him.  and  shall  return  luito

42  For  they  are  my  servants. 
which  I  brought  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt:  they  shall  not  be

43  Thou  shall  uot  rule  over  him

De.  15—12  And  if  tliy  brother,  a 
Hebrew  mau,  of  a  Hebrew  wo- 
man, be  sold  unto  thee,  and  serve 
thee  six  yeai-s;  then  in  the  sev- 
enth year  thou  Shalt  let  him  go 
free  from  thee. 

13  And  when  thou  sendest  him 
out  free  from  thee,  thou  shalt  not 
let  him  go  away  empty: 

14  Thou  shalt  funiish  him  liber- 
ally out  of  thy  tlock,  and  out  of 
thy  tioor,  and  out  of  thy  wine- 
press: of  that  wherewith  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  blessed  thee 
thou  shalt  give  unto  him. 

1.5  And  thou  shalt  remember 
that  thou  wast  a  bondman  in  the 
land  of  Egj^pt,  and  the  Lord  thy 
God  redeemed  thee:  therefoi-e  I 
command  thee  this  thing  to  day. 

16  And  it  shall  be,  if  he  say  unto 
thee,  I  will  not  go  away  from 
tliee :  because  he  loveth  thee  and 
thine  liouse,  because  he  is  well 
with  thee ; 

17  Then  thou  shalt  take  an  awl, 
and  thrust  it  through  his  ear  unto 
the  door,  and  he  shall  be  thy  serv- 
ant for  ever.  And  also  unto  thy 
maidservant  thou  shalt  do  like- 
wise. 

18  It  shall  not  seem  hard  unto 
thee,  when  thou  sendest  him 
away  free  from  thee;  for  he  hath 
been  worth  a  double  hired  servant 
to  thee,  in  serving  thee  six  vears: 
and  the  Lord  tliy  God  shall  ble.ss 
thee  in  all  that  thou  doest. 

De.  23—1.5  Thou  shalt  not  deliver 
unto  his  master  the  servant  which 
is  escaped  from  his  master  unto 
thee: 

16  He  shall  dwell  with  thee, 
even  among  you,  in  that  place 
which  he  shall  choose  in  one  of 
thy  gates,  where  it  liketh  him 
best:  thou  shalt  not  oppress  him. 

Je.  34—8  This  is  the  word  that 
came  unto  Jeremiah  from  tlie 
Lord,  after  that  the  king  Zede- 
kiah  had  made  a  covenant  wit li 
all  the  people  which  were  at  Jeru- 
salem, to  proclaim  liberty  unto 
them ; 

9  That  every  man  should  let  his 
manservant,  and  erery  man  his 
maidservant,  being  a  Hebrew  or 
a  Hebrewess,  go  free;  that  none 
should  serve  himself  of  them,  to 
wit,  of  a  Jew  his  brother. 

10  Now  when  all  the  princes,  and 
all  the  people,  which  had  entered 
into  the  covenant,  heard  that  ev- 
ery one  should  let  his  mansexvant, 


and  every  one  his  maid.servant, 
go  free,  that  none  should  serve 
themselves  of  them  any  more; 
then  they  obeyed,  and  let  them 
go. 

11  But  afterwards  they  turned, 
and  caused  the  servants  and  the 
handmaids,  whom  they  had  let 
go  free,  to  return,  and  brought 
them  into  subjection  for  servants 
and  for  handmaids. 

17  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord;  Ye  have  not  hearkened 
unto  me,  in  proclaiming  liberty, 
every  one  to  his  brother,  and  every 
man  to  his  neighbour:  behold,  I 
proclaim  a  liberty  for  you,  .saith 
the  Lord,  to  the  sword,  to  the  pes- 
tilence, and  to  the  famine;  and  I 
will  make  you  to  be  removed  into 
all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth. 

18  And  I  will  give  the  men  that 
have  transgressed  my  covenant, 
which  have  not  performed  the 
words  of  the  covenant  which  they 
had  made  before  me,  when  they 
out  the  calf  in  twain,  and  passed 
between  the  parts  thereof, 

19  The  princes  of  Judali,  and  the 
princesor  Jei-usalem,  the  eiumchs, 
and  the  priests,  and  all  the  people 
of  the  land,  which  passed  between 
the  parts  of  the  calf ; 

20 1  will  even  give  them  into  the 
hand  of  their  enemies,and  into  the 
hand  of  tliem  that, seek  their  life: 
and  their  dead  bodies  .shall  be  for 
meat  unto  the  fowls  of  the  heav- 
en, and  to  the  beasts  of  the  earth. 

21  And  Zedekiah  king  of  Judah 
and  his  princes  will  I  give  into  the 
hand  of  their  enemies,  and  into 
the  hand  of  them  that  seek  their 
life,  and  into  tlie  hand  of  the 
king  of  Babylon's  army,  which 
are  gone  up  from  you. 

22 Behold, I  will  command,  saith 
the  Lord,  and  cause  them  to  re- 
turn to  this  city;  and  they  shall 
tight  against  it,  and  take  it,  and 
burn  it  with  lire:  and  1  will  make 
the  cities  of  Judah  a  desolation 
without  an  inhabitant.  See  2  Ki. 
25,  p.  34.  

Jo.  3—6  The  children  also  of  Ju- 
dah and  the  children  of  Jerusa- 
lem have  ye  sold  unto  the  Gre- 
cians, that  ye  might  remove  them 
far  from  their  border. 

7  Behold,  1  will  raise  them  out 
of  the  place  whither  ye  have  sold 
them,  and  will  return  your  re- 
compense upon  your  own  bead :

8  And  I  -will  sell  your  sons  and 
your  daughters  into  the  hand  of 
the  children  of  Jiidah,  and  they 
shall  sell  them  to  the  Sabeans,  to 
a  people  far  off:  Jot  the  Lord 
hath  spoken  it. 

1  Sa.  25—10  Many  servants  now- 
adays break  away  every  man 
from  his  master.

of  Shimei  ran  away  unto  Achish 
king  of  Gath.

Ep.  &—5  Servants,  be  obedient 
to  tliem  that  are  your  masters  ac- 
cording to  the  flesh,  with  fear 
and  trembling,  in  singleness  of 
your  heart,  as  unto  Christ; 

6  Not  with  eyeservice,  as  mem- 
pleasers;  but  as  the  servants  of 
Christ,  doing  the  will  of  God 
from  the  heart; 

7  With  good  will  doing  service, 
as  to  the  Lord,  and  not  to  men : 

8  Knowing  that  whatsoever 
good  thing  any  man  doeth,  the 
same  shall  he  receive  of  the  Lord, 
whether  he  bo  bond  or  free. 

9  And,  ye  masters,  do  the  same 
things  unto  them  forbearing 
tlu-eatening:  knowing  that  your 
Master  also  is  in  heaven:  neither 
is  there  respect  of  persons  with 
him. 

Col.  3—22  Servants,  obey  in  all 
things  your  masters  according  to 
the  flesh :  not  with  eyeservice,  as 
menpleasers;  but  in  singleness  of 
heart,  fearing  God : 

23  And  whatsoever  ye  do.  do  it 
heartily,  as  to  the  Lord,  and  not 
unto  men: 

24  Knowing  that  of  the  Lord  ye 
shall  receive  the  reward  of  the  in- 
heritance: for  ye  serve  the  Lord 
Christ. 

Col.  4—1  Masters,  give  tmto  your 
servants  that  which  is  just  and 
equal ;  knowing  that  ye  also  have 
a  Master  in  heaven. 

1  Ti.  G— 1  Let  as  many  servants 
as  are  under  the  yoke  count  their 
own  masters  worthy  of  all  hon- 
our, that  the  name  of  God  and 
his  doctrine  be  not  blasphemed 

2  And  they  that  have  believing 
masters,  let  them  not  despise 
them,  because  they  are  brethren  : 
but  rather  do  them  service,  be- 
cause they  are  faithful  and  Vie- 
loved,  partakers  of  the  benefit. 
These  things  teach  and  ©short. 


3  If  any  man  teach  otherwise, 
and  consent  not  to  wholesome 
words,  even  the  words  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  and  to  the  doctrine 
which  is  according  to  goodliness; 

4  He  is  proud,  knowing  nothing, 
but  doting  about  questions  and 
strifes  of  words,  whereof  cometh 
envy,  strife,  railings,  evil  surmis- 
ings. 

Tit.  2—9  Exhort  servants  to  be 
obedient  unto  their  own  masters, 
and  to  please  them  well  in  all 
things;  not  answering  again; 

10  Not  purloining,  but  shewing 
all  good  fidelity;  that  they  may 
adorn  the  doctrine  of  God. 

1  Pe.  2—18  Servants,  be  subject 
to  your  masters  with  all  fear ;  not 
only  to  the  good  and  gentle,  but 
also  to  the  fro  ward. 

19  For  this  is  thankworthv,  if  a 
man  for  conscience  toward  God 
endure  grief,  suffering  wrong- 
fully. 

20  For  what  glory  is  it,  if,  when 
ye  be  buffeted  for  your  faults,  ye 
shall  take  it  patiently?  but  "if, 
when  ye  do  well,  and  suffer  for  it. 
ye  take  it  patiently,  this  is  ac- 
ceptable with  God. 

21  For  even  hereunto  were  ye 
called:  because  Christ  also  suf- 
fered for  us,  leaving  us  an  ex- 
ample, that  ye  should  follow  his 
steps:

thy  servant,  that  I  may  live,  and 
keep  thy  word.

hate  the  one,  and  love  the  other ; 
or  else  he  will  hold  to  the  one,  and 
despise  the  other.  Ye  cannot 
serve  God  and  mammon,    p.  448. 

Jno.  12—26  If  any  man  serve  me. 
let  him  follow  me;  and  where  I 
am,  there  shall  also  my  servant 
be :  if  any  man  serve  me,  hmi  will 
my  Father  honour. 

Jno.  13—16  Verily,  verily,.  I  say 
unto  you,  The  servant  is  not 
greater  than  his  lord ;  neither  he 
that  is  sent  greater  than  he  that 
sent  him. 


Ro.  6—16  Know  ye  not,  that  to 
whom  ye  yield  yourselves  ser- 
vants to  obey,  his  servants  ye  are 
to  whom  ye  obey ;  whether  ot  sin 
unto  death,  or  of  obedience  unto 
righteousness?  ,         ^,    ^ 

Ro.  14—4  Who  art  thou  that 
iudgest  another  man's  servant?  to 
his  own  master  he  standeth  or 
falleth. 


THE  UNMERCIFUL  SER- 
VANT. 

Mat.  18—23  Therefore  is  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  likened  unto 
a  certain  king,  which  would  take 
account  of  his  servants. 

24  And  when  he  had  begun  to 
reckon,  one  was  brought  unto 
him,  which  owed  him  ten  thou- 
sand talents.  ■,     v,    ,      *. 

25  But  forasmuch  as  he  had  not 
to  pay,  his  lord  commanded  him 
to  be  sold,  and  his  wife,  and  chil- 
dren, and  all  that  he  had,  and 
payment  to  be  made. 

26  The  servant  therefore  fell 
down,  and  worshipped  hmi,  say- 
ing. Lord,  have  patience  with  me, 
and  I  will  pay  thee  all. 

27  Then  the  lord  of  that  servant 
was  moved  with  compassion,  and 
forgave  him  the  debt. 

28  But  the  same  servant  went 
out,  and  found  one  of  his  fellow 
servants,  which  owed  him  a  hun- 
dred pence :  and  he  laid  hands  on 
him,  and  took  him  by  the  throat, 
saying.  Pay  me  that  thou  owest. 

29  And  his  fellow  servant  tell 
down  at  his  feet,  and  besought 
him,  saying.  Have  patience  witn 
me.  and  I  will  pay  thee  all. 

30  And  he  would  not:  but  went 
and  cast  him  into  prison. 

31  So  when  his  fellow  servants 
saw  what  was  done,  they  were 
very  sorry,  and  came  and  told  un- 
to their  lord  all  that  was  done. 

32  Then  his  lord,  after  that  he 
had  called  him,  said  unto  him,  O 
thou  wicked  servant,  I  forgave 
thee  all  that  debt,  because  thou 
desiredst  me:  ,         .      , 

33  Shouldest  not  thou  also  have 
had  compassion  on  thy  fellow  ser- 
vant, even  as  I  had  pity  on  thee  .^ 

34  \nd  his  lord  was  wroth,  and 
delivered  him  to  the  tormentors, 
till  le  should  pay  all  that  was  due. 

35  So 'ikewise  shall  myheavenly 
Father  do  also  unto  you  it  ye 
from  vour  hearts  forgive  not  every 

1  one  his  brother  their  trespasses. 


446 


1  Co.  7—20  Let  every  man  abide 
in  thegamecalling  wherein  he  was 
called. 

21  Art  thoii  called  being  a  serv- 
ant? care  not  for  it:  but  if  thou 
mayest  be  made  free,  use  it  rather. 

22  For  he  that  is  called  in  the 
Lord,  being  a  servant,  is  the  Lord's 
freeman:  likewise  also  he  that  is 
called,  being  free,  is  Christ's  serv- 
ant. 

23  Ye  are  bought  with  a  price; 
be  not  ye  the  servants  of  men. 

De.  24—14  Thou  shalt  not  oppress 
a  hired  servant  that  is  poor  and 
needy,  whether  he  be  of  thy  breth- 
ren, or  of  thy  strangers  that  are 
in  thy  land  within  thy  gates. 

15  At  his  day  thoii  shalt  give 
him  his  hire,  neither  shall  the  sun 
go  down  vrpon  it:  for  he  is  poor, 
and  setteth  his  heart  upon  it:  lest 
he  cry  against  thee  unto  the  Lord, 
and  it  be  sin  unto  thee. 

THE  UNPROFITABLE  SER- 
VANT. 

Lu.  IV— 7  But  which  of  you,  hav- 
ing a  servant  ploughmg  or  feed- 
ing cattle,  will  say  unto  him  by 
and  by,  when  he  is  come  from  the 
Meld,  Go  and  .sit  down  to  meat? 

8  And  will  ni)t  rather  say.  Make 
ready  wherewith  I  may  sup,  and 
gird  thyself,  and  serve  me,  till  1 
have  eaten  and  drunken;  and 
afterward  thou  shalt  eat  and 
drink? 

9Doth  he  thank  that  servant  be- 
cause he  did  the  things  that  were 
commanded  him?    I  ti"<>w  not. 

10  So  likewi.se  ye,  when  ye  shall 
have  done  all  those  things  whicli 
are  commanded  you,  say.  We  are 
unprotitable  servants:  we  have 
done  that  which  was  oiu-  duty. 

Servants  be  ready  at  a  knock  to 
open  to  the  Lord  when  he  cometh. 
See  also  Mat.  24.  42-51,  p.  488. 

Lu.  12—35  Let  your  loins  be 
girded,  and  your  lights  burning; 

36  And  ye  yourselves  like  unto 
men  that  wait  for  then  lord,  when 
he  will  return  from  the  wedding; 
that,  when  he  cometh  and  knock- 
eth,  they  may  open  unto  him  im- 
mediately. 

37  Blessed  are  those  servants, 
whom  the  lord  when  he  cometh 
shall  find  watching:  verily  I  say 
unto  you,  that  he  shall  gird  him- 


self, and  make  them  to  sit  down 
to  meat,  and  will  come  forth  and 
serve  them. 

38  And  if  he  shall  come  in  the 
secoiul  watch,  or  come  in  the  third 
watch,  and  find  them  so,  blessed 
are  those  servants. 

39  And  this  know,  that  if  the 
goodman  of  the  house  had  known 
what  hour  the  thief  wtmld  come, 
he  would  have  watched,  and  not 
have  suffered  his  house  to  be  bro- 
ken through. 

40  Be  ye  therefore  ready  also: 
for  the  Son  of  man  cometh  at  an 
hour  when  ye  think  not. 

42  And  the  Ltud  said.  Who  then 
is  that  faithful  and  wi.se  steward, 
whom  his  lord  shall  make  ruler 
over  his  household. 

43  Blessed  is  that  servant,  whom 
his  lord  when  he  cometh  shall 
tind  so  doing. 

44  Of  a  ti-uth  I  say  unto  you, 
that  he  will  make  him  ruler  over 
all  that  he  hath. 

45  But  and  if  that  servant  say 
in  his  heai't,  Mv  lord  delayeth  his 
comuig;  and  shall  begin  to  beat 
the  menservants  and  nuiideus, 
and  to  eat  and  drink,  and  to  be 
drunken: 

46  The  lord  of  that  servant  will 
come  in  a  day  when  he  looketh  not 
for  him,  and  at  an  hour  when  he  is 
not  aware,  and  will  cut  him  in 
sunder,  and  will  appoint  him  his 
portion  with  the  unbelievers. 

47  And  that  servant,  which  knew 
his  lord's  will,  and  prepared  not 
himself,  neither  did  according  to 
his  will,  shall  be  beatenwith  many 
stripes. 

48  But  he  that  knew  not,  and  did 
commit  things  worthy  of  stripes, 
shall  be  beaten  with  few  stripes. 
For  unto  whomsoever  much  is 
given,  of  him  shall  be  much  re- 
quired. 

THE  T-WO  DEBTORS. 

Lu.  7 — il  There  was  a  certain 
creditor  which  had  two  debtors: 
the  one  owed  live  hundred  pence, 
and  the  other  fifty. 

42  And  when  they  had  nothing 
to  pay,  he  fi'ankly  forgave  them 
botli.  Tell  me  therefore,  which 
of  them  will  love  him  most? 

43  Simon  answered  and  said,  1 
suppose  that  he,  to  whom  he  for- 

¥ave  most.  And  he  said  unto  him, 
hou  hast  rightly  judged. 


447 


PARABLE  OF  THE  TALENTS. 

Mat.  2rr—u  For  the  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  as  a  man  travelling  into 
a  far  country,  who  called  his  own 
servants,  and  delivered  unto  them 
his  goods. 

15  And  unto  one  he  gave  five 
talents,  to  another  two,  and  to 
another  one;  to  every  man  ac- 
cording to  his  several  ability :  and 
straightway  took  his  journey. 

16  Then  he  that  had  received 
the  five  talents  went  and  traded 
with  the  same,  and  made  them 
other  five  talents. 

17  And  likewise  he  that  had 
received  two,  he  also  gained  other 
two. 

18  But  he  that  had  received  one 
went  and  digged  in  the  earth, 
and  hid  his  lord's  money. 

19  After  a  long  time  the  lord  of 
those  servants  cometh,  and  reck- 
oneth  with  them. 

20  And  so  he  that  had  received 
five  talents  came  and  brought 
other  five  talents,  saying,  Lord, 
thou  deliveredst  unto  me  five 
talents:  behold,  I  have  gained 
beside  them  five  talents  more. 

21  His  lord  said  unto  him.  Well 
done,  thou  good  and  faithful  serv- 
ant: thou  has  been  faithful  over 
a  few  things,  I  will  make  thee 
ruler  over  many  things:  enter 
thou  into  tlie  joy  of  thy  lord. 

22  He  also  that  had  received 
two  talents  came  and  said,  Lord, 
thou  deliveredst  unto  me  two 
talents:  behold,  I  have  gained 
two  other  talents  beside  them. 

23  His  lord  said  unto  him,  Well 
done,  good  and  faithful  servant ; 
thou  has  been  faithful  over  a  few 
things,  I  will  make  thee  ruler  over 
many  things:  enter  thou  into  the 
joy  of  thy  lord. 

21  Then  he  which  had  received 
the  one  talent  came  and  said. 
Lord,  I  knew  thee  that  thou  art  a 
hard  man,  reaping  where  thou 
hast  not  sown,  and  gathering 
where  thou  hast  not  strewed : 

25  And  I  was  afraid,  and  went 
and  hid  thy  talent  in  the  earth : 
lo,  there  thou  hast  that  is  thine. 

2G  His  lord  answered  and  .said 
unto  him.  Thou  wicked  and  sloth- 
ful servant,  thou  knewest  that  I 
reap  where  1  sowed  not,  and  gath- 
er where  I  have  not  strewed: 

27  Thou  oughtest  therefore  to 
have  put  my  money  to  the  ex- 


changers, and  then  at  my  coming 
I  should  have  received  mine  own 
with  usury. 

28  Take  therefore  the  talent 
from  him,  and  give  it  ixnto  him 
which  hath  ten  talents. 

29  For  unto  every  one  that  hath 
shall  be  given,  and  he  shall  have 
abundance:  but  from  him  that 
hath  not  shall  be  taken  away  even 
that  which  he  hath. 

30  And  cast  ye  the  unprofitable 
servant  into  outer  darkness:  there 
.shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of 
teeth. 

THE  UNJUST  STEWARD. 

Lu.  16—1  And  he  said  also  unto 
his  disciples.  There  was  a  certain 
rich  man,  which  had  a  steward : 
and  the  same  was  accused  unto 
him  that  he  had  wasted  his  goods. 

2  And  he  called  him,  and  said 
unto  him.  How  is  it  that  I  hear 
this  of  thee?  give  an  account  of 
thy  stewardship;  for  thou  mayest 
be  no  longer  steward. 

3  Then  the  steward  said  within 
himself.  What  shall  1  do?  for  my 
lord  taketh  away  from  me  the 
steward.ship:  I  cannot  dig;  to  beg 
1  am  ashamed. 

i  I  am  resolved  what  to  do,  that, 
when  I  am  put  out  of  the  steward- 
shiiJ,  they  may  receive  me  into 
their  houses. 

5  So  he  called  every  one  of  his 
lord's  debtors  unto  him,  and  said 
unto  the  first.  How  much  owest 
thfiu  unto  my  lord? 

G  And  he  said,  A  hundred  meas- 
ures of  oil.  And  he  said  unto  him. 
Take  thy  bill,  and  sit  down  quick- 
ly, and  write  fifty. 

7  Then  said  he  to  another.  And 
how  much  owest  thou?  And  he 
said,  A  hundred  measures  of 
wheat.  And  he  said  unto  hiin. 
Take  thy  bill,  and  write  four- 
score. 

8  And  the  lord  commended  the 
unjust  steward,  because  he  had 
done  wisely:  for  the  children  of 
this  world  are  in  their  generation 
wiser  than  the  children  of  light. 

9  And  I  say  unto  you.  Make  to 
your.selves  friends  of  the  mammon 
of  unrighteousness ;  that,  when  ye 
fail,  tliey  may  receive  you  into 
everlasting  habitations. 

in  He  that  is  faithful  in  that 
which  is  least  is  faithful  also  in 
much:  and  he  that  is  unjust  in 
the  least  is  unjust  also  in  much. 


448 


11  If  therefore  ye  have  not  been 
faithful  in  the  uurighteoub  mam- 
mon, who  will  commit  to  your 
trust  the  true  riches? 

12  And  if  ye  have  not  been  faith- 
ful in  that  which  is  another 
man's,  who  shall  give  you  that 
which  is  your  own?    p.  445. 

THE  LABOURERS  IN  THE 
VINEYARD. 

Mat.  20—1  For  the  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  like  unto  a  man  that  is 
a  householder,  which  went  out 
early  in  the  morning  to  hire  la- 
bourers into  his  vineyard. 

2  And  when  he  had  agreed  with 
the  labomers  for  a  jiemiy  a  day, 
his  sent  them  into  his  vineyard. 

3  And  he  went  oixt  about  the 
third  horn-,  and  saw  others  stand- 
ing idle  in  the  marketplace, 

4  And  said  unto  them;  Go  ye 
also  into  the  vineyard,  and  what- 
soever is  right  1  will  give  you. 
And  they  went  theii-  way. 

5  Again  he  went  out  about  the 
sixth  and  ninth  horn-,  and  did  like- 
wise. 

6  And  about  the  eleventh  hour  he 
went  out,  and  found  others  stand- 
ing idle, and  saithuntothem, Why 
stand  ye  here  all  the  day  idle? 

7  They  say  unto  him,  Because 
no  man  hath  hii-ed  us.  He  saith 
unto  them,  Go  ye  also  into  the 
vineyard ;  and  whatsoever  is  right, 
that  shall  ye  receive. 

8  So  when  even  was  come,  the 
lord  of  the  vineyard  saith  unto  his 
steward.  Call  the  labourers,  and 
give  them  then-  hire,  beginning 
from  the  last  unto  the  first. 

9  And  when  they  came  that  were 
hired  about  the  eleventh  hour, 
they  received  every  man  a  peiniy. 

10  But  when  the  hrst  came,  they 
supposed  that  they  should  have 
received  more ;  and  they  likewise 
received  every  man  a  penny. 

n  And  when  they  had  received 
it,  they  murmured  against  the 
goodman  of  the  house, 

12  Saying,  These  last  have 
wrought  but  one  hoiu'.  and  thou 
liast  made  them  equal  unto  us, 
which  have  borne  the  burden  and 
heat  of  the  day. 

13  But  he  answered  one  of  them, 
and  said,  Friend,  1  do  thee  no 
wrong ;  didst  thou  not  agree  with 
me  for  a  penny? 

15  Is  it  not  lawful  for  me  to  do 


what  I  will  with  mine  own?  Is 
thine  eye  evil,  because  I  am  good? 
16  So  the  last  shall  be  tirst,  and 
the  first  last:  for  many  be  called, 
but  few  chosen. 

PARABLE  OF  THE  SOWER 
AND  THE  TARES. 

Mat.  13—3  And  he  spake  many 
things  in  parables,  saying.  Behold, 
a  sower  went  forth  to  sow ; 

4  And  when  hesowed,  some  seeds 
fell  by  the  way  side,  and  the  fowls 
came  and  devoured  them  up: 

5  Some  fell  upon  stony  places, 
where  they  had  not  much  earth: 
and  forthwith  they  sprung  up,  be- 
cause they  had  no  deepness  of 
earth: 

6  And  when  the  sun  was  up,  they 
were  scorched ;  and  because  they 
had  no  root,  they  withered  away. 

7  And  some  fell  among  thorns; 
and  the  thorns  sprung  up,  and 
choked  them: 

8  But  other  fell  intogood  ground, 
and  brought  forth  fi-uit,  some  a 
hundredfold,somesixtyfold,some 
thirtyfold. 

18  Hear  ye  therefore  the  para- 
ble of  the  sower. 

19  When  any  one  heareth  the 
word  of  the  kingdom,  and  under- 
standeth  it  not,  then  cometh  the 
wicked  one,  and  catcheth  away 
that  which  was  sown  in  his  heart. 
This  is  he  which  received  seed  by 
the  way  side. 

20  But  he  that  received  the  seed 
into  stony  places,  the  same  is  he 
that  heareth  the  word,  and  anon 
with  joy  receiveth  it ; 

21  Yet  he  hath  not  root  in  him- 
self, but  dureth  for  a  while:  for 
when  tribulation  or  persecution 
ariseth  because  of  the  word,  by 
and  by  he  is  offended. 

22  He  also  that  received  seed 
among  the  thorns  is  he  that  hear- 
eth the  word ;  and  the  care  of  this 
world,  and  the  deceitfulness  of 
riches,  choke  the  word,  and  he  be- 
cometh  unfruitful. 

23  But  he  that  received  seed  into 
the  good  ground  is  he  that  heareth 
the  word,  and  understandeth  it: 
which  also  beareth  fruit,  and 
bringeth  forth,  some  a  hundred- 
fold, some  sixty,  some  thirty. 

24  Another  parable  put  he  forth 
unto  them,  saying.  The  kingdom 
of  heaven  is  likened  unto  a  man 
whichsowed  good  seed  in  his  tield : 


449 


25  But  while  men  slept,  his  ene- 
my came  and  sowed  tares  among 
the  wheat,  and  went  liis  way. 

20  But  when  the  blade  was 
sprung  up,  and  brought  forth 
fruit,  then  appeared  the  tares  also. 

27  So  the  servants  of  the  house- 
holder came  and  said  unto  him. 
Sir,  didst  not  thou  sow  good  seed 
in  thy  tield?  from  whence  then 
hath  it  tares? 

28  He  said  unto  them.  An  enemy 
hath  done  this.  The  servants  said 
unto  him.  Wilt  thou  then  that  we 
go  and  gather  them  vip? 

29  But  he  said.  Nay;  lest  while 
ye  gather  up  the  tares,  ye  root  up 
also  the  wheat  with  them. 

30  Let  both  grow  together  until 
the  harvest:  and  in  the  time  of 
harvest  1  will  say  to  the  reapers. 
Gather  ye  together  first  the  tares, 
and  bind  them  in  bundles  to  burn 
them:  but  gather  the  wheat  into 
my  barn. 

36  Then  Jesus  sent  the  multi- 
tude away,  and  went  into  the 
house:  and  his  disciplescame  un- 
to him,  saying.  Declare  unto  us 
the  parable  of  the  tares  of  the 
tield. 

37  He  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  He  that  soweth  the  good 
seed  is  the  Son  of  man ; 

38  The  tield  is  the  world;  the 

food  .seed  are  the  childi-en  o*  the 
ingdom;  but  the  tares  are  the 
children  of  the  wicked  one ; 

39  The  enemy  that  sowed  them 
is  the  devil;  the  harvest  is  the 
end  of  the  world ;  and  the  reapers 
are  the  angels. 

40  As  therefore  the  tares  are 
gathered  and  burned  in  the  fire; 
so  shall  it  be  in  the  end  of  this 
world. 

41  The  Son  of  man  shall  send 
forth  his  angels,  and  they  shall 
gather  out  of  his  kingdom  all 
things  that  offend,  and  them 
which  do  iniquity; 

42  And  shall  cast  them  into  a 
furnace  of  tire:  there  shall  be 
wailing  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

43  Then  shall  the  righteous 
shine  forth  as  the  sun  in  the  king- 
dom of  their  Father.  ^ 

THE  SEED  GROWING  SE- 
CRETLY. 

Mar.  4—26  And  he  said.  So  is  the 
kmgdom  of  God,  as  if  a  mas 
should  cast  seed  into  the  groiind ; 

.27  Ajid  should  sleep,  and  rise 


night  and  day,  and  the  seed 
should  spring  and  grow  up,  he 
knoweth  not  how. 

28  For  the  earth  bringeth  forth 
fruit  of  herself;  first  the  blade, 
then  the  ear,  after  that  the  full 
corn  in  the  ear. 

29  But  when  the  fruit  is  brought 
forth,  he  putteth  in  the  sickle, 
because  the  harvest  is  come. 

THE  GOOD  SAMARITAN. 

Lu.  10—25  And,  behold,  a  certain 
lawyer  stood  up,  and  tempted 
him,  saying.  Master,  what  shall  I 
do  to  inherit  eternal  life? 

26  He  said  unto  him,  What  is 
written  in  the  law? 

27  And  he  answering  said,  Thoir 
Shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with 
all  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy 
soul,  and  with  all  thy  strength, 
and  with  all  thy  mind ;  and  thy 
neighbour  as  thyself.  See  Le.  19. 
18,  De.  6.  5,  p.  49. 

28  And  he  said  unto  him.  Thou 
hast  answered  right :  this  do,  and 
thou  shalt  live. 

29  But  he,  willing  to  justify  him- 
self, said  unto  Jesus,  And  who  is 
my  neighbour? 

30  And  Jesus  answering  said,  A 
certain  man  went  down  from  Je- 
rusalem to  Jericho,  and  fell  among 
thieves,  which  stripped  him  of  his 
raiment,  and  wovmded  him,  and 
departed,  leaving  him  half  dead. 

31  And  by  chance  there  came 
down  a  certain  priest  that  way; 
and  when  he  saw  him,  he  passed 
by  on  the  other  side. 

32  And  likewise  a  Levite,  when 
he  was  at  the  place,  came  and 
looked  on  him,  and  passed  by  on 
the  other  side. 

33  But  a  certain  Samaritan,  as 
he  journeyed,  came  where  he  was ; 
and  when  he  saw  him,  he  had 
compassion  on  him, 

34  And  went  to  him,  and  bound 
up  his  wounds,  pouring  in  oil  and 
wine,  and  set  him  on  his  own 
beast,  and  brought  him  to  an  inn, 
and  took  care  of  him. 

35  And  on  the  morrow  when  he 
departed,  he  took  out  two  pence, 
and  gave  them  to  the  host,  and 
said  unto  him.  Take  care  of  him: 
and  whatsoever  thou  spendest 
more,  when  I  come  again,  I  will 
repay  thee. 

36  Which  now  of  these  three, 
thinkest  thou,  wasneigh  hour  unto 
him  that  fell  among  the  thieves  ?

37  And  he  said.  He  that  shewed 
mercy  ou  him.  Then  said  Jesus 
unto  him,  Go,  and  do  thou  like- 
wise. 

"When  thou  art  bidden  to  a 
wedding  sit  not  down  in  tlie  high- 
est room."  "When  you  make  a 
feast,  call  the  poor,  the  lame,  and 
the  blind." 

Lu.  14—7  And  he  put  forth  a 
parable  to  those  which  were  bid- 
den, when  he  marked  how  they 
chose  out  the  chief  rooms:  saying 
unto  them, 

8  When  thou  art  bidden  of  any 
man  to  a  wedding,  sit  not  down 
in  the  highest  room;  lest  a  more 
honourable  man  than  thou  be 
bidden  of  him; 

9  And  he  that  bade  thee  and  him 
come  and  say  to  thee.  Give  this 
man  place :  and  thou  begin  with 
shame  to  take  the  lowest  room. 

10  But  when  thou  art  bidden,  go 
and  sit  down  in  the  lowest  room ; 
that  when  he  that  bade  thee  com- 
eth,  he  may  say  unto  thee.  Friend, 
go  up  higher:  then  shalt  thou 
nave  worship  in  the  presence  of 
them  that  sit  at  meat  with  thee. 

12  Then  said  he  also  to  him  that 
bade  him.  When  thou  makest  a 
dinner  or  a  supper,  call  not  thy 
friends,  nor  thy  brethren,  neither 
thy  kinsmen,  nor  thy  rich  neigh- 
bours; lest  they  also  bid  thee 
again,  and  a  recompense  be  made 
thee. 

13  But  when  thou  makest  a 
feast,  call  the  poor,  the  maimed, 
the  lame,  the  blind : 

14  And  thou  shalt  be  blessed: 
for  they  cannot  recompense  thee: 
for  thou  shalt  be  recompensed  at 
the  resurrection  of  the  lust. 

15  And  when  one  of  them  that 
sat  at  meat  with  him  heard  these 
things,  he  said  unto  him.  Blessed 
is  he  that  shall  eat  bread  in  the 
kingdom  of  God. 

THE  GREAT  SUPPER. 

Lu.  14—16  Then  said  he  unto 
him,  A  certain  man  made  a  great 
supper,  and  bade  many: 

17  And  sent  his  servant  at  sup- 
per time  to  say  to  them  that  were 
bidden.  Come;  for  all  things  are 
now  ready. 

18  And  they  all  with  one  con- 
sent began  to  make  excuse.  The 
first  said  unto  him,l  have  bouglit 
a  piece   of    ground,  and  I  must 


needs  go  and  see  it :  I  pray  thee 
have  me  excused. 

19  And  another  said,  I  have 
bought  five  yoke  of  oxen,  and  I 
go  to  prove  them:  1  pray  thee 
have  me  excused. 

20  And  another  said.  1  have 
maiTied  a  wife,  and  therefore  I 
cannot  come. 

21  So  that  servant  came,  and 
shewed  his  lord  tliese  things. 
Then  the  master  of  the  house 
being  angry  said  to  his  servant. 
Go  out  quickly  into  the  streets 
and  lanes  of  the  city,  and  bring  in 
hither  the  poor,  and  the  maimed, 
and  the  halt,  and  the  blind. 

22  And  the  servant  said.  Lord, 
it  is  done  as  thou  hast  com- 
manded, and  yet  there  is  room. 

23  And  the  lord  said  unto  the 
servant.  Go  out  into  the  high- 
ways and  hedges,  and  compel 
them  to  come  in,  that  my  hoiise 
may  be  filled. 

24  For  I  say  unto  you,  That  none 
of  those  men  which  were  bidden 
shall  taste  of  my  supper. 

The  maiTiage  of  the  king's  son. 
"The  Wedding  Garment." 

Mat.  22—1  Jesus  answered  them 
again  by  parables,  and  said, 

2  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
like  mito  a  certain  king,  which 
made  a  marriage  for  his  son, 

3  And  sent  forth  his  servants  to 
call  them  that  were  bidden  to  the 
wedding:  and  they  would  not 
come. 

4  Again,  he  sent  forth  other 
servants,  saying.  Tell  them  which 
are  biddeii.  Behold,  I  have  pre- 
pared my  dinner:  my  oxen  and 
my  fallings  are  killed,  and  all 
things  are  ready:  come  unto  the 
marriage. 

5  But  they  made  light  of  it,  and 
went  their  ways,  one  to  his  farm, 
another  to  his  merchandise: 

6  And  the  remnant  took  his 
servants,  and  entreated  them 
spitefully,  and  slew  them. 

7  But  when  the  king  heard 
thereof,  he  was  wroth:  and  he 
sent  forth  his  armies,  and  de- 
stroyed those  murderers,  and 
burned  up  their  city. 

8  Then  saith  he  to  his  servants. 
The  wedding  is  ready,  but  they 
which  were  bidden  were  not  wor- 
thy. 

9  Go  ye  therefore  into  the  high- 
wavs.  and  as  many  as  ye  shall 
find,  bid  tg  the  marriage. 


451 


10  So  tliose  servants  went  out 
into  the  highways,  and  gathered 
together  all  asmanyastheytound, 
both  bad  and  good :  and  the  wed- 
ding was  furnished  with  guests. 

11  And  when  the  king  came  in 
to  see  the  guests,  he  saw  there  a 
man  which  had  not  on  a  wedding 
garment: 

12  And  he  saith  unto  him, 
Friend,  how  earnest  thou  in  hith- 
er not  having  a  weddinggarmeut? 
And  he  was  speechless. 

13  Then  said  the  king  to  the  serv- 
ants. Bind  him  hand  and  toot,  and 
take  him  away,  and  cast  him  into 
outer  darkness;  there  shall  be 
weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

14  For  many  are  called,  but  tew 
are  chosen. 

HEALING    OF    THE    CENTU- 
RION'S SERVANT. 

Lu.  7—2  And  a  certain  centu- 
rion's servant,  who  was  dear  unto 
him,  was  sick,  and  ready  to  die. 

3  And  when  he  heard  of  Jesus, 
he  sent  unto  him  the  elders  of  the 
Jews,  beseeching  him  that  he 
would  come  and  heal  his  ser- 
vant. ,  ^    ^ 

4  And  when  they  came  to  Jesus, 
they  besought  him  instantly,  say- 
ing. That  he  was  worthy  for  whom 
he  should  do  this: 

5  For  he  loveth  our  nation,  and 
he  hath  built  us  a  synagogue. 

6  Then  Jesus  went  with  them. 
And  when  he  was  now  not  far 
from  the  house,  the  centurion 
sent  friends  to  him,  saying  unto 
him.  Lord,  trouble  not  thyselt; 
for  T  am  not  worthy  that  thou 
shouldest  enter  under  my  roof: 

7  Wherefore  neither  thought  I 
myself  worthy  to  come  unto  thee : 
but  say  in  a  word,  and  my  servant 
shall  be  healed. 

8  For  I  also  am  a  man  set  under 
authority,  havmg  under  me  sol- 
diers, and  I  say  unto  one.  Go,  and 
he  goeth ;  and  to  another.  Come, 
and  he  cometh:  and  to  my  serv- 
ant. Do  this,  and  he  doeth  it. 

9  \Vhen  Jesusheard  these  things, 
he  marvelled  at  him,  and  turned 
him  about,  and  said  unto  the  peo- 
ple that  followed  him,  I  say  unto 
you,  I  have  not  found  so  great 
faith,  no,  not  in  Israel. 

10  And  they  that  were  sent,  re- 
turning to  the  house,  found  the 
servant  whole  that  had  been  sick. 


HEALING  OF  I'-WO  BLIND 
MEN. 

Mat.  20—30  And,  behold,  two 
blind  men  sitting  by  the  wayside, 
when  thev  heard  that  Jesus  passed 
bv,  cried  but,  saying.  Have  mercy 
on  us,  O  Lord,  thou  Son  of  David. 
31  And  the  multitude  rebuked 
them,  because  they  should  hold 
their  peace.  ,     ^.,,  , 

32  And   Jesus  stood   still,   and 
called  them,  and  said.  What  will 
ve  that  I  shall  do  unto  you? 
"  33  They   say   unto   him.  Lord, 
that  our  eyes  may  be  opened. 

34  So  Jesus  had  compassion  on 
them,  and  touched  their  eyes:. and 
immediately  their  eyes  received 
sight,  and  they  followed  him. 

Healing  of  the  paralytic  man, 
the  man  with  the  palsy.  '  Arise, 
and  take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

Mar.  2—3  And  they  come  unto 
him,  bringing  one  sick  of  the 
palsy,  which  was  borne  ot  tour. 

4  And  when  they  could  not  come 
nigh  unto  him  for  the  press,  they 
uncovered  the  roof  where  he  was: 
and  when  they  had  broken  it  up. 
they  let  down  the  bed  wherein 
the  sick  of  the  palsy  lay.  . 

5  When  Jesus  saw  their  faith,  he 
said  unto  the  sick  of  the  palsy. 
Son,  thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee. 

6  But  there  were  certain  of  the 
scribes  sitting  there,  and  reason- 
ing in  their  hearts, 

7  Why  doth  this  man  thus  speak 
blasphemies?  who  can  forgive  sins 
but  God  only? 

8  And  immediately,  when  Jesus 
perceived  in  his  spirit  that  they 
so  reasoned  within  themselves, 
he  said  unto  them.  Why  reason 
ye  these  things  in  your  hearts? 

9  Whether  it  is  easier  to  say 
to  the  sick  of  the  palsy.  Thy  sms 
be  forgiven  thee ;  or  to  say.  Arise, 
and  take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk? 

10  But  that  ye  may  know  that 
the  Son  of  man  hath  power  on 
earth  to  forgive  sins,  (he  saith  to 
the  sick  of  the  palsy,)        . 

11  I  sav  unto  thee.  Arise,  and 
take  up  thy  bed,  and  go  thy  way 
into  thine  house. 

12  And  immediately  he  arose, 
took  up  the  bed,  and  went  forth 
before  them  all;  insomuch  that 
they  were  all  amazed,  and  glori- 
fied God,  saying,  We  never  saw 
it  on  this  fashion. 


452 


HEALING  OF   A    DEAF    AND 
DUMB  MAN. 


Healing  a  dumb  man  possessed 
of  a  devil. 

Mar.  7—32  And  they  bring  unto 
him  one  that  was  deaf,  and  had 
an  impediment  in  his  speech;  and 
they  beseech  him  to  put  his  hand 
upon  him. 

33  And  he  took  him  aside  from 
the  multitude,  and  put  his  fingers 
into  Ins  ears,  and  he  spit,  and 
touched  his  tongue; 

34  And  looking  up  to  heaven,  he 
sighed,  and  saitli  unto  him,  Eph- 
phatha,  that  is.  Be  opened. 

35  And  straightway  his  ears 
were  opened,  and  the  string  of 
his  tongue  was  loosed,  and  he 
spake  plain. 

36  And  he  charged  them  that 
they  should  tell  no  man:  but  the 
more  he  charged  them,  so  much 
the  more  a  great  deal  they  pub- 
lished it ; 

37  And  were  beyond  measure 
astonished,  saying,  He  hath  done 
all  things  well:  he  maketh  both 
the  deaf  to  hear,  and  the  dumb 
to  speak.         

Mat.  9—32  As  they  went  out, 
behold,  they  brought  to  him  a 
dumb  man  possessed  with  a  devil. 

33  And  when  the  devil  was  cast 
out,  the  dumb  spake:  and  the 
multitudes  marvelled,  saying,  It 
was  never  so  seen  in  Israel. 

34  But  the  Pharisees  said.  He 
casteth  out  devils  through  the 
prince  of  the  devils. 

35  And  Jesus  went  about  all  the 
cities  and  villages,  teaching  in 
their  synagogues,  and  preaching 
the  gospel  of  the  kingdom,  and 
healing  every  sickness  and  every 
disease  among  the  people. 

STILLING  OF  THE  TEMPEST. 


Second  stilling  of  the  tempest. 
"Jesus  went  unto  them  walking 
on  the  sea." 

Mar.  4—36  And  when  they  had 
sent  away  the  multitude,  they 
took  him  even  as  he  was  in  the 
ship.  And  there  were  also  with 
him  other  little  ships. 

37  And  there  arose  a  great  storm 
of  wind,  and  the  waves  beat  into 
the  ship,  so  that  it  was  now  full. 


38  And  he  was  iu  the  hinder 
part  of  the  ship,  asleep  on  a  pil- 
low: and  they  awake  him,  and 
say  unto  him.  Master,  carest  thou 
not  that  we  perish? 

39  And  he  arose,  and  rebuked 
the  wind,  and  said  unto  the  sea, 
Peace,  be  still.  And  the  wind 
ceased,  and  there  was  a  great 
calm. 

40  And  he  said  unto  them,  Why 
are  ye  so  fearful?  how  is  it  that 
ye  have  no  faith? 

41  And  they  feared  exceedingly, 
and  said  one  to  another.  What 
manner  of  man  is  this,  that  even 
the  wind  and  the  sea  obey  him? 


INIat.  14—22  And  straightway 
Jesus  constrained  his  disciples  to 
get  into  a  ship,  and  to  go  before 
him  unto  the  other  side,  while  he 
sent  the  multitudes  away. 

23  And  when  he  had  sent  the 
multitudes  away,  he  went  up  into 
a  momitain  apart  to  pray:  and 
when  the  evening  was  come,  he 
was  there  alone. 

24  But  the  ship  was  now  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea,  tossed  with 
waves:  for  the  wind  was  contrary. 

25  And  ui  the  fourth  watch  of 
the  night  Jesus  went  unto  them, 
walking  on  the  sea. 

26  And  when  the  disciples  saw 
him  walking  on  the  sea,  they 
were  troubled,  .saying.  It  isaspirit ; 
and  they  cried  out  for  fear. 

27  But  straightway  Jesus  spake 
unto  them,  saying.  Be  of  good 
cheer;  it  is  1 ;  be  not  afraid. 

28  And  Peter  answered  him  and 
said.  Lord,  if  it  be  thou,  bid  me 
come  unto  thee  on  the  water. 

29  And  he  said.  Come.  And 
when  Peter  was  come  down  out 
of  the  ship,  he  walked  on  the 
water,  to  go  to  Jesus. 

30  But  when  he  saw  the  wind 
boisterous,  he  was  afraid ;  and  be- 
ginning to  sink,  he  cried,  saying. 
Lord,  save  me. 

31  And  immediately  Jesus 
stretched  forth  his  hand,  and 
caught  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
O  thou  of  little  faith,  wherefore 
didst  thou  doubt? 

32  And  when  they  were  come 
into  the  ship,  the  wind  ceased. 

33  Then  they  that  were  in  the 
ship  came  and  worshipped  him, 
saying.  Of  a  tmth  thou  art  the 
Son  of  God. 


453 


HEALING  OF  THE  NOBLE- 
MAN'S SON. 

Jno.  4—46  So  Jesvis  came  again 
into  Cana  of  Galilee,  where  he 
made  the  water  wine.  And  there 
was  a  certain  nobleman,  whose 
son  was  sick  at  Capernaiim. 

47  When  he  heard  that  Jesus 
was  come  out  of  Judea  into  Gali- 
lee, he  went  unto  him,  and  be- 
sought him  that  he  would  come 
down,  and  heal  his  sou :  for  he  was 
at  the  point  of  death. 

48  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him. 
Except  ye  see  signs  and  wonders, 
ve  will  not  believe. 

49  The  nobleman  saith  unto  him. 
Sir,  come  down  ere  my  child  die. 

50  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Go  thy 
way;  thy  son  liveth.  And  the 
man  believed  the  woi'd  that  Jesus 
had  spoken  unto  him,  and  he 
went  his  way. 

51  And  as  he  was  now  going 
down,  his  servants  met  him,  and 
told  him,  saving.  Thy  sou  liveth, 

52  Then  inquired  he  of  them  the 
hour  when  he  began  to  amend. 
And  they  said  unto  him,  Yester- 
day at  the  seventh  hour  the  fever 
left  him. 

53  So  the  father  knew  that  it 
was  at  the  same  hour,  in  the  which 
Jesus  said  unto  him.  Thy  son  liv- 
eth: and  himself  believed,  and 
his  whole  house. 

54  This  is  again  the  second  mir- 
acle that  Jesus  did,  when  he  was 
come  out  of  Judea  into  Galilee. 

HEALING  OF  THE  INFIRM 
MAN. 


The  angel  at  the  pool  of  Be- 
thesda.  Rise,  take  up  thy  bed 
and  walk." 

Jno.  5—1  After  this  there  was  a 
feast  of  the  Jews;  and  Jesus  went 
lip  to  Jerusalem. 

2  Now  there  is  at  Jerusalem  by 
the  sheep  market  a  pool,  which  is 
called  in  the  Hebrew  tongue  Be- 
thesda,  having  five  porches. 

3  In  these  lay  a  great  multitude 
of  impotent  folk,  of  blind,  halt, 
withered,  waiting  for  the  moving 
of  the  water. 

4  For  an  angel  went  down  at  a 
certain  season  into  the  pool,  and 
troubled  the  water:  whosoever 
then  first  after  the  troubling  of 
the  water  stepped  in  was  made 
whole  of  whatsoever  disease  he 
had. 


5  And  a  certain  man  was  there,   . 
which  had  an  intirmity  thirty  and 
eight  years.  ,  .     ,. 

6  When  Jesus  saw  him  he,  ana 
knew  that  he  had  been  now  a  long 
time  in  that  case,  he  saith  unto 
him,  Wilt  thou  be  made  whole? 

7  The  impotent  man  answered 
him,  Sir,  1  have  no  man,  when  the 
water  is  troubled,  to  put  me  into 
the  pool:  but  while  I  am  com- 
ing, another  steppeth  down  before 
me. 

8  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Rise, 
take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

9  And  immediately  the  man 
was  made  whole,  and  took  up  his 
bed,  and  walked :  and  on  the  same 
day  was  the  sabbath. 

10  11  The  Jews  therefore  said  un- 
to him  that  was  cured.  It  is  the 
sabbath  day :  it  is  not  lawful  for 
thee  to  carry  thy  bed. 

11  He  answered  them.  He  that 
made  me  whole,  the  same  said 
unto  me.  Take  up  thy  bed,  and 
walk. 

12  Then  asked  they  him.  What 
man  is  tlitit  which  said  unto  thee. 
Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk? 

13  And  he  that  was  healed  wist 
not  who  it  was:  for  Jesus  had  con- 
veyed himself  away,  a  multitude 
being  in  that  place. 

14  Afterward  Jesus  findeth  him 
in  the  temple,  and  said  unto  him. 
Behold,  thou  art  made  whole :  sin 
no  more,  lest  a  worse  thing  come 
unto  thee. 

15  The  man  departed,  and  told 
the  Jews  that  it  was  Jesus,  which 
had  made  him  whole. 

16  And  therefore  did  the  Jews 
persecute  Jesus,  and  sought  to 
slay  him,  because  he  had  done 
these  things  on  the  sabbath  day. 

THE  MIRACULOUS  DRAUGHT 
OF  FISHES. 

Lu.  5—4  Now  when  he  had  left 
speaking,  he  said  mito  Simon, 
Launch  out  into  the  deep,  and  let 
down  your  nets  for  a  draught. 

5  And  Simon  answering  said 
unto  him.  Master,  we  have  toiled 
all  the  night,  and  have  taken 
nothing :  nevertheless  at  thy  word 
I  will  let  down  the  net. 

6  And  when  they  had  this  done, 
they  inclosed  a  great  multitude  of 
tishes:  and  their  net  brake. 

7  And  they  beckoned  unto  their 
partners,  which  were  in  the  other 
ship,  that  they  should  come  and 


454 


help  them.  And  they  came,  and 
iilled  both  the  ships,  so  that  they 
began  to  sink. 

8  When  Simon  Peter  saw  it.  he 
fell  down  at  Jesus'  knees,  saying, 
Depart  from  me;  for  I  am  a  sin- 
ful man,  O  Lord. 

9  For  he  was  astonished,  and  all 
that  were  with  him,  at  the  draught 
of  the  iishes  which  they  had 
taken : 

10  And  so  was  also  James,  and 
John,  the  sous  of  Zebedee,  which 
were  partners  with  Simon.  And 
Jesus  said  unto  Simon.  Fear  not ; 
from  henceforth  thou  shalt  catch 
men. 

11  And  when  they  had  brought 
their  ships  to  land,  they  for.sook 
all,  and  followed  him. 

Jesus  healed  the  multitudes  of 
lame,  blind,  dumb,  and  sick  peo- 
ple. 

Mat.  15—30  And  great  multi- 
tudes came  unto  Jesus,  having 
with  them  those  that  were  lame, 
blind,  dumb,  maimed,  and  many 
others,  and  cast  them  down  at  Je- 
sus' feet;  and  he  healed  them: 

31  Insomuch  that  the  multitude 
wondered,  and  they  gloritied  the 
God  of  Israel. 

The  two  women  with  wings,  not 
angels.  See  also  Re.  12.  14,  p.  62, 
and  angels  p.  7. 

Zee.  5—5  Then  the  angel  that 
talked  with  me  went  forth,  and 
said  unto  me.  Lift  up  now  thine 
eyes,  and  see  what  is  this  that 
goeth  forth. 

6  And  I  said,  "What  is  it?  And 
he  said.  This  is  an  ephah  that 
goeth  forth.  He  said  moreover, 
This  is  their  resemblance  through 
all  the  earth. 

7  And,  behold,  there  was  lifted 
up  a  talent  of  lead:  and  this  is  a 
M'omau  that  sitteth  in  the  midst 
of  the  ephah. 

8  And  liesaid,Thisiswickedness. 
And  he  cast  it  into  the  midst  of 
the  ephah ;  and  he  cast  the  weight 
of  lead  upon  the  mouth  thereof. 

9  Then  lifted  I  up  mhie  eyes,  and 
looked,  and,  behold,  there  came 
out  two  women,  and  the  wind  was 
in  their  wings;  for  they  had 
wings  like  the  wings  of  a  stork: 
and  they  lifted  up  the  ephah  be- 
tween the  earth  and  the  heaven. 

10  Then  said  I  to  the  angel  that 
talked  with  me.  Whither  do  these 
bear  the  ephah? 


11  And  he  said  unto  me.  To  build 
it  a  house  in  the  land  of  Shinar: 
and  it  shall  be  established,  and 
set  there  upon  her  own  base.    p.  50. 

THE  ISSUE  OF  BLOOD. 

Mar.  5—25  And  a  certain  wom-an, 
which  had  an  issue  of  blood 
twelve  years, 

26  And  had  suffered  many  things 
of  many  physicians,  and  had  spent 
all  that  she  had,  and  was  nothing 
bettered,  but  rather  grew  worse, 

27  When  she  had  heard  of  Jesus, 
came  in  the  press  behind,  and 
touched  his  garment. 

28  For  she  said.  If  I  may  touch 
but  his  clothes,  I  shall  be  whole. 

29  And  straightway  the  fountain 
of  her  blood  was  dried  up;  and 
she  felt  in  her  body  that  she  was 
healed  of  that  plague. 

.30  And  Jesus.immediately  know- 
ing in  himself  thatvirtue  had  gone 
out  of  him,  turned  and  said.  Who 
touched  my  clothes? 

31  And  his  disciples  said  unto 
him.  Thou  seest  the  multitude 
thronging  thee,  and  sayest  thou, 
Who  touched  me? 

32  And  he  looked  round  about 
tosee  her  that  had  done  thisthing. 

33  But  the  woman  fearing  and 
trembling,  knowing  what  was 
done  in  her,  came  and  fell  down 
before  him,  and  told  him  all  the 
truth. 

34  And  he  said  unto  her.  Daugh- 
ter, thy  faith  hath  made  thee 
whole ;  go  in  peace. 

Healing  of  Simon's  mother-in- 
law. 

Lu.  4 — 38  And  he  arose  out  of  the 
synagogue,  and  entered  into  Si- 
mon's house.  And  Simon's  wife's 
mother  was  taken  with  a  great 
fever;  and  they  besought  him  for 
her. 

39  And  he  stood  over  her,  and 
rebuked  the  fever;  and  it  left 
her:  and  immediately  she  arose 
and  ministered  unto  them. 

Healing  of  the  woman  with  the 
spirit  of  mtirmity. 

Lu.  13—11  And,  behold,  there  was 
a  woman  which  had  a  spirit  of  in- 
firmity eighteen  years,  and  could 
m  no  wi.se  lift  up  herself. 

12  And,  when  Jesus  saw  her,  he 
called  her  to  him,  and  said  unto 
her.  Woman,  thou  art  loosed  from 

I  thine  inhnnity. 


455 


13  And  he  laid  his  hands  ou  her: 
iind  immediately  she  was  made 
straight,  and  glorified  God. 

14  And  the  ruler  of  the  s^na- 

fogue  answered  with  indignation, 
ecause  that  Jesus  had  healed  ou 
the  sabhath  day,  and  said  unto 
the  people.  There  are  six  days  in 
which  men  ought  to  work:  in 
them  therefore  come  and  be  heal- 
ed, and  not  on  the  sabbath  day. 

15  The  Lord  then  answered  him, 
and  said.  Thou  hypocrite,  dotli 
not  each  one  of  you  ou  the  sab- 
bath loose  his  ox  or  his  ass  from 
the  stall,  and  lead  him  away  to 
watering? 

16  And  ought  not  this  woman, 
being  a  daughter  of  Abraham, 
whom  Satan  hath  bound,  lo,  these 
eighteen  years,  be  loosed  from  this 
bond  on  the  sabbath  day? 

17  And  when  he  had  said  these 
things,  all  his  adversaries  were 
ashamed:  and  all  the  people  re- 
joiced for  all  the  glorious  things 
that  were  done  by  him. 

MARTHA  AND  MARY. 

Lu.  10—38  Now  it  came  to  pass, 
as  they  went,  that  he  entered  into 
a  certain  village:  and  a  certain 
woman  named  Martha  received 
him  into  her  house. 

39  And  she  had  a  sister  called 
Mary,  which  also  sat  at  Jesus' 
feet,  and  heard  his  word. 

40  But  Martha  was  cumbered 
about  much  serving,  and  came  to 
him,  and  said.  Lord,  dost  thoii  not 
care  that  my  sister  hath  left  me 
to  serve  alone?  bid  her  therefore 
that  she  help  me. 

41  And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  her,  Martha,  Martha,  thou 
art  careful  and  troubled  about 
many  thuigs: 

42  But  one  thing  is  needful ; 
and  Mary  hath  chosen  that  good 
part,  which  shall  not  be  taken 
away  from  her. 

THE  LOST  PIECE  OF  MONEY. 

Lu.  15—8  Either  what  woman 
having  ten  pieces  of  silver,  if  slie 
lose  one  piece,  doth  not  light  a 
candle,  and  sweep  the  house,  and 
seek  diligently  till  she  find  it? 

9  And  when  she  hath  found  it, 
she  calleth  her  friends  and  her 
neighbours  together,  saying,  Re- 
joice with  nie ;  for  I  have  found 
the  piece  which  I  had  lost. 


10  Likewise,  I  say  unto  you, 
there  is  joy  in  the  presence  of  the 
angels  of  God  over  one  sinner  that 
repenteth. 

Jesus  revealeth  himself  unto  a 
woman  of  Samaria  at  Jacob's 
well. 

Jno.  4—5  Then  cometh  he  to  a 
city  of  Samaria,  which  is  called 
Sychar,  near  to  the  parcel  of 
ground  that  Jacob  gave  to  his  sou 
Joseph. 

6  Now  Jacob's  well  was  there. 
Jesus  therefore,  being  wearied 
with  his  jouniey,  sat  thus  on  the 
well:  aud  it  was  about  the  sixth 
hour. 

7  There  cometh  a  woman  of  Sa- 
maria to  draw  water:  Jesus  saith 
unto  her.  Give  nie  to  drink. 

8  (For  his  disciples  were  gone 
away  unto  the  city  to  buy  meat.) 

_  9  Then  saith  the  woman  of  Sama- 
ria unto  him,  How  is  it  that  thou, 
being  a  Jew,  askest  drink  of  me, 
which  am  a  woman  of  Samaria? 
for  the  Jews  have  no  dealuigs  with 
the  Samaritans. 

10  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
her.  If  thou  knewest  the  gift  of 
God,  and  who  it  is  that  saith  to 
thee.  Give  me  to  drink;  thou 
wouldest  have  asked  of  him,  and 
he  would  have  given  thee  living 
water. 

11  The  woman  saith  unto  him. 
Sir,  thou  hast  nothing  to  draw 
with,  and  the  wellisdfeep:  from 
whence  then  hast  thou  that  living 
water? 

12  Art  thou  greater  than  our 
father  Jacob,  wliich  gave  us  the 
well,  and  drank  thereof  himself, 
and  his  children,  and  his  cattle? 

13  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
her.  Whosoever  drinketh  of  this 
water  shall  thirst  again: 

14  But  whosover  drmketh  of  the 
water  that  I  shall  give  liim  shall 
never  thirst ;  but  the  water  that  I 
shall  give  him  shall  be  in  him  a 
well  of  water  springing  up  iuto 
everlasting  life. 

15  The  woman  saith  unto  him. 
Sir,  give  me  this  water,  that  I  thirst 
not,  neither  come  hither  to  draw. 

16  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Go,  call 
thy  husband,  and  come  hither. 

17  The  woman  answered  and 
said,  I  have  no  husband.  Jesus 
said  unto  her.  Thou  hast  well 
said,  I  have  no  husband. 

18  For  thou  hast  had  five  hus- 
bands; aiul  he  whom  thou  now 


456 


hast  is  not  thy  husband:  in  that 
saidst  thou  truly. 

19  The  woman  saith  unto  him. 
Sir,  I  perceive  that  thou  art  a 
prophet. 

20  Our  fathers  worshipped  in 
this  mountain ;  and  ye  say,  that 
in  Jerusalem  is  the  place  where 
men  ought  to  worship. 

21  Jesus  saith,  Woman,  believe 
me,  the  hour  cometh,  when  ve 
shall  neither  in  this  mountain, 
nor  yet  at  Jerusalem,  worship  the 
Father. 

22  Ye  worship  ye  know  not  what : 
we  know  that  we  worship;  for 
salvation  is  of  the  Jews. 

23  But  the  hour  cometh,  and  now 
is,  when  the  true  worshippers 
shall  worship  the  Father  in  spirit 
and  in  truth:  for  the  Father  seek- 
eth  such  to  worship  him. 

24  God  is  a  Spirit:  and  thev  that 
worship  him  must  worship  him  in 
spirit  and  in  truth, 

2.5  The  woman  saith  unto  him,  I 
know  that  Messiascometli,  which 
is  called  Christ:  when  he  is  come, 
he  will  tell  us  all  things. 

26  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  I  that 
speak  unto  thee  am  he. 

27  And  upon  this  came  his  di.s- 
ciples,  and  marvelled  that  he  talk- 
ed with  the  woman:  yet  no  man 
said.  What  seekest  thou?  or,  Wliy 
talkest  thou-with  her? 

28  The  woman  then  left  her  wa- 
terpot,  and  went  her  way  into  the 
city,  and  saith  to  the  men, 

29  Come,  see  a  man,  which  told 
me  all  things  that  ever  I  did:  is 
not  this  the  Christ? 

30  Then  they  went  out  of  the 
city,  and  came  unto  him. 

31  In  the  mean  M'hile  his  disci- 
ples prayed  him,  saying,  Master, 
eat. 

32  But  he  said  unto  them,  I  have 
meat  to  eat  that  ye  know  not  of. 

33  Therefore  said  the  disciples 
one  to  another,  Hath  anv  man 
brought  him  aught  to  eat? 

34  Jesus  saith  unto  tliem.  My 
meat  is  to  do  the  will  of  him  that 
sent  me,  and  to  tinish  his  work. 

39  And  many  of  the  Samaritans 
of  that  city  believed  on  him  for 
the  saying  of  the  woman,  which 
te.stified,  He  told  me  all  that  ever 
I  did. 

40  So  when  the  Samaritans  were 
come  unto  him,  thev  besought 
him  that  he  would  tarry  with 
them:  and  he  abode  there  two 
days. 


41  And  many  more  believed  be- 
cause of  his  own  word : 

42  And  said  unto  the  woman, 
Aow  we  believe,  not  because  of 
tliy  saying:  for  we  have  heard 
Inm  om-selves,  and  know  that  this 
IS  indeed  the  Christ,  the  Saviour 
of  the  world. 

RAISING  OF  JAIRUS'  DAUGH- 
TER. 

Mar.  5—22  And,  behold,  there 
cometh  one  of  the  rulers  of  the 
synagogue,  Jairus  by  name;  and 
when  he  saw  him,  he  fell  at  his 
feet, 

23  And  besought  Imn  greatlv. 
saynig.  My  little  daughter  lieth 
at  the  point  of  death :  I  pray  thee, 
come  and  lay  thy  hands  on  her, 
that  she  may  be  healed ;  and  .she 
shall  live. 

24  And  Jesiis  went  with  him : 
and  much  people  followed  him. 

35  While  he  yet  spake,  there 
came  from  the  ruler  of  the  syna- 
gogue's house  certain  which  said. 
Thy  daughter  is  dead ;  why  troub- 
lest  thou  the  Master  anv  further? 

36  As  soon  as  Jesus  heard  the 
word  that  was  .spoken,  he  saith 
unto  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue. 
Be  not  afraid,  only  believe. 

37  And  he  suffered  no  man  to  fol- 
low him,  save  Peter,  and  James, 
and  John  the  brother  of  James. 

38  And  he  cometh  to  the  house 
of  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue,  and 
seeth  the  tumult,  and  them  that 
wept  and  wailed  greatly. 

39  And  when  he  was  come  in, 
he  saith  unto  them.  Why  make 
ye  this  ado,  and  weep?  the  dam- 
sel is  not  dead,  biit  sleepeth. 

40  And  they  laughed  him  to 
.scorn.  But  when  he  had  put  them 
all  out,  he  taketh  the  father  and 
the  mother  of  the  damsel,  and 
them  that  were  with  him,  and 
entereth  in  where  the  damsel  was. 

41  And  he  took  the  damsel  by 
the  hand,  and  .said  unto  her,  Tal- 
itha  cumi;  which  is,  being  inter- 
preted. Damsel,  (I  say  unto  thee,) 
arise. 

42  And  straightway  the  damsel 
arose,  and  walked ;  for  she  was  of 
the  age  of  twelve  years.  And 
they  were  astonished  with  a  great 
astonishment. 

43  And  he  charged  them  straitly 
that  no  man  should  know  it: 
and  commanded  that  something 
should  be  given  her  to  eat. 


457 


RAISING   OF    THE    WIDOW'S 

SON. 

_Lu.  7—11  And  Jesus  went  into  a 
city  called  Nain;  and  many  of  his 
disciples  went  with  him,  and 
much  people. 

12  Now  when  he  came  nigh  to 
the  gate  of  the  city,  behold,  there 
was  a  dead  man  carried  out,  the 
only  son  of  his  mother,  and  she 
was  a  widow:  and  much  people  of 
the  city  was  witli  her. 

13  And  when  the  Lord  saw  her, 
he  had  compassion  on  her,  and 
said  unto  her.  Weep  not. 

14  And  he  came  and  touched  the 
bier:  and  they  that  bare  him 
stood  still.  And  he  said,  Young 
man,  I  say  unto  thee.  Arise. 

15  And  he  that  was  dead  sat  up, 
and  began  to  speak.  And  he  de- 
livered him  to  his  mother. 

RAISING  OF  LAZARUS. 

Jno.  11—1  Now  a  certain  man 
was  sick,  named  Lazarus,  of  Beth- 
any, the  town  of  Mary  and  her 
sister  Martha. 

2  (It  was  that  Mary  which 
anointed  the  Lord  with  ointment, 
and  wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair, 
whose  brother  Lazarus  was  sick.) 

3  Therefore  his  sisters  sent  unto 
him,  saying.  Lord,  behold,  he 
whom  thou  lovest  is  sick. 

4  When  Jesus  heard  that,  he 
said,  This  sickness  is  not  unto 
death,  but  for  the  glory  of  God, 
that  the  Son  of  God  might  be 
glorified  thereby. 

.5  Now  Jesus  loved  Martha,  and 
her  sister,  and  Lazarus. 

6  When  he  had  heard  that  he 
was  sick,  he  abode  two  days  .still 
in  the  same  place  where  he  was. 

11  And  after  that  he  saith.  Our 
friend  Lazarus  sleepeth ;  but  I  go, 
that  1  may  awake  him  out  of 
sleep. 

12  Then  said  his  disciples.  Lord, 
if  he  sleep,  he  shall  do  well. 

13  Howbeit  Jesus  spake  of  his 
death:  but  they  thought  that  he 
had  spoken  of  taking  of  rest  in 
sleep. 

14  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them 
plainly,  Lazarus  is  dead. 

15  And  I  am  glad  for  your  sakes 
that  I  was  not  there,  to  the  intent 
ye  may  believe;  nevertheless  let 
us  go  unto  him. 

20  Then  Martha,  as  soon  as  she 
heard   that    Jesus   was    coining. 


went  and  met  him:  but  Mary  sat 
still  in  the  house. 

21  Then  said  Martha  unto  Jesus. 
Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here,  my 
brother  had  not  died. 

22  But  I  know,  that  even  now, 
whatsoever  thou  wilt  ask  of  God, 
God  will  give  it  thee. 

23  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Thy 
brother  shall  rise  again. 

24  Martha  saith  unto  him,  I 
know  that  he  shall  rise  again  in 
the  resurrection  at  the  last  day. 

25  Jesus  said  unto  her,  I  am  the 
resurrection,  and  the  life:  he  that 
believeth  in  me,  though  he  were 
dead,  yet  shall  he  live: 

26  And  whosoever  liveth  and 
believeth  in  me  shall  never  die. 
Believest  thou  this? 

27  She  saith  unto  him,  Yea, 
Lord:  I  believe  that  thou  art  the 
Chri.st,  the  Son  of  God,  which, 
should  come  into  the  world. 

28  And  when  she  had  so  said, 
she  went  her  way,  and  called 
Mary  her  sister  secretly,  saying, 
1  he  Master  is  come,  and  calleth 
for  thee. 

32  Then  when  Mary  was  come 
where  Jesus  was.  and  saw  him, 
she  tell  down  at  his  feet,  saying 
unto  him.  Lord,  if  thou  hadst 
been  here,  my  brother  had  not 
died. 

33  When  Jesus  therefore  saw 
her  weeping,  and  the  Jews  also 
weeping  which  came  with  her,  he 
groaned  in  the  spirit,  and  was 
troubled, 

.  .34  And  said.  Where  have  ye  laid 
him?  They  say  imto  him.  Lord, 
come  and  see. 

35  Jesus  wept. 

3(3  Then  said  the  Jews,  Behold 
how  he  loved  him! 
.  38  Jesus  therefore  again  groan- 
ing m  himself  cometh  to  the 
grave.  It  was  a  cave,  and  a  stone 
lay  upon  it. 

39  Jesus  said.  Take  ye  away  the 
stone.  Martha,  the  sister  of  him 
that  was  dead,  saith  unto  him, 
Lord,  by  this  time  he  stinketh: 
for  he  hath  been  dead  four  days. 

40  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Said  I 
not  unto  thee,  that,  if  thou  would- 
est  believe,  thou  shouldest  see  the 
glory  of  God? 

41  Then  they  took  away  the 
stone  from  the  place  where  the 
dead  was  laid.  And  Jesus  lifted 
up  his  eyes,  and  said.  Father,  I 
thank  thee  that  thou  hast  heard 
me. 


458 


42  And  I  knew  that  tliou  liear- 
est  me  always:  but  because  of 
the  people  which  stand  by  I  said 
it,  that  they  may  believe  tliat 
thou  hast  sent  me. 

43  And  when  he  thus  had 
spoken,  he  cried  with  a  loud 
voice,  Lazarus,  come  forth. 

44  And  he  that  was  dead  came 
forth,  bound  hand  and  foot  with 
graveclothes;  and  his  face  was 
bound  about  with  a  napkin.  Jesus 
saith  unto  them.  Loose  him,  and 
let  him  go. 

45  Then  many  of  the  Jews  which 
came  to  Mary,  and  had  seen  the 
things  which  Jesus  did,  believed 
on  him. 

i  THE  TRUE  LIGHT. 

Jno.  1—1  In  the  begmning  was 
the  Word,  and  the  Word  was  with 
God,  and  the  Word  was  God. 

2  The  same  was  in  the  begin- 
ning with  God. 

3  All  things  were  made  by  him ; 
and  without  him  was  not  any 
thing  made  that  was  made. 

4  In  him  was  life ;  and  the  life 
was  the  light  of  men. 

5  And  the  light  shineth  in  dark- 
ness: and  the  darkness  compre- 
hended it  not. 

6  There  was  a  man  sent  from 
God,  whose  name  was  John. 

7  The  same  came  for  a  witness, 
to  bear  witness  of  the  Light,  that 
all  men  through  him  might  be- 
lieve. 

8  He  was  not  that  Light,  but  was 
sent  to  bear  witnessof  that  Light. 

9  That  was  the  true  Light, 
which  lighteth  every  man  that 
Cometh  into  the  world. 

10  He  was  in  the  world,  and  the 
world  was  made  by  him,  and  the 
world  knew  him  not. 

11  He  came  unto  his  own,  and 
his  own  received  him  not. 

12  But  as  many  as  received  him, 
to  them  gave  he  power  to  become 
the  sons  of  God,  even  to  them 
that  believe  on  his  name: 

13  Which  were  born,  not  of 
blood,  nor  of  the  will  of  the  Hesh, 
nor  of  the  will  of  man,  but  of  God. 

14  And  the  Word  was  made  flesh, 
and  dwelt  among  us,  (and  we  be- 
lield  his  glory,  the  glory  as  of  the 
only  begotten  of  the  Father.) 

Lu.  1—79  To  give  light  to  them 
that  sit  in  darkness  and  in  the 
shadow  of  death,  to  guide  our 
feet  into  the  way  of  peace. 


The  twelve  apostles  chosen  and 
sent  forth  to  preach,  etc.  See  also 
Mat.  26.  56  and  Mar.  14.  ,50,  p.  514 ; 
Jno.  6.  60-66.  p.  507 ;  1  Co.  12.  29,  p.  20. 
The  seventy  disciples  set  forth, 
Lu.  10. 1-20. 

Mat.  10—1  And  when  Jesus  had 
called  unto  him  his  twelve  disci- 
ples, he  gave  them  power  against 
unclean  spirits,  to  cast  them  out, 
and  to  heal  all  manner  of  sick- 
ness and  all  manner  of  disease. 

2  Now  the  names  of  the  twelve 
apostles  are  these;  The  first,  Si- 
mon, who  is  called  Peter,  and 
Andrew  his  brother:  James  the 
son  of  Zebedee,  and  John  his 
brother : 

3  Philip,  and  Bartholomew; 
Thomas,  and  Matthew  the  pub- 
lican ;  James  the  son  of  Alpheus, 
and  Lebbeus,  whose  surname  was 
Thaddeus; 

4  Simon  the  Canaanite,  and  Ju- 
das Iscariot,  who  also  betrayed 
him. 

5  These  twelve  Jesus  sent  forth, 
and  commanded  them,  saying,  Go 
not  into  the  way  of  the  Gentiles, 
and  into  any  city  of  the  Samari- 
tans enter  ye  not: 

6  But  go  rather  to  the  lost  sheep 
of  the  house  of  Israel. 

7  And  as  ye  go,  preach,  saying. 
The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  at 
hand. 

8  Heal  the  sick,  cleanse  the  lep- 
ers, raise  the  dead,  cast  out  devils : 
freely  ye  have  received,  freely 
give. 

9  Provide  neither  gold,  nor  sil- 
ver, nor  brass  in  your  purses ; 

10  Nor  scrip  for  your  journey, 
neither  two  coats,  neither  shoes, 
nor  yet  staves:  for  the  workman 
is  worthy  of  his  meat. 

11  And  into  whatsoever  city  or 
town  ye  shall  enter,  inquire  who 
in  it  is  worthy ;  and  there  abide 
till  ye  go  thence. 

12  And  when  ye  come  into  a 
house,  salute  it, 

13  And  if  the  house  be  worthy, 
let  your  peace  come  upon  it:  but 
if  it  be  not  worthy,  let  your  peace 
return  to  you. 

14  And  whosoever  shall  not  re- 
ceive you,  nor  hear  your  word.s, 
when  ye  depart  out  of  that  house 
or  city,  shake  off  the  dust  of  your 
feet. 

15  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  It  shall 
be  more  tolerable  for  the  land  of

that  he  be  as  his  master,  and  the

Beelzebub,  how  much  more  shall 
they  call  them  of  las  household? 


19  And  Judas  Iscariot,  which

one  of  you  is  a  devil?  . 

71  He  spake  of  Judas  Iscariot 
the  son  of  Simon:  for  he  .it  was 
that  should  betray  him,  bemg  one

THE     APOSTLES'     KINGDOM 
AND  THRONES. 

Mat.  19—16  Aud,  behold,  one 
came  aud  said  unto  him,  Good 
Master,  what  good  thing  shall  I  do, 
that  I  may  have  eternal  life? 

17  And  he  said  unto  him,  Why 
callest  thou  me  good?  there  is 
none  good  but  one,  that  is,  God  : 
but  if  thou  wilt  enter  into  life, 
keep  the  commandments. 

18  He  saith  unto  him,  Which? 
Jesus  said.  Thou  shalt  do  no  mur- 
der, Thou  shalt  not  commit  adul- 
tery. Thou  shalt  not  steal,  Thou 
shalt  not  bear  false  witness, 

19  Honour  thy  father  aud  thy 
mother:  and,  Thou  shalt  love  thy 
neighbour  as  thyself. 

20  The  young  main  saith  unto 
him.  All  these  things  have  I  kept 
from  my  youth  up:  what  lack  I 
yet? 

21  Jesus  said  unto  him.  If  thou 
wilt  be  perfect,  go  and  sell  that 
thou  hast,  aud  give  to  the  poor, 
aud  thou  shalt  have  treasure  in 
heaven:  and  come  aud  follow  me. 

22  But  when  the  young  man 
heard  that  saying,  he  went  away 
sorrowful:  for  he  had  great  pos- 
sessions. 

23  Then  said  Jesus  unto  his 
disciples.  Verily  I  say  unto  you, 
Thatarich  man  shall  hardly  enter 
into  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

24  Aud  again  I  say  unto  you,  It 
IS  easier  for  a  camel  to  go  through 
the  eye  of  a  needle,  than  for  a  rich 
man  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
God. 

25  When  his  disciples  heard  it, 
they  were  exceedingly  amazed, 
saying,  who  then  can  be  saved? 

26  But  Jesus  beheld  them,  and 
said  unto  them.  With  men  this 
is  impossible;  but  with  God  all 
things  are  possible. 

27  Then  answered  Peter  and 
said  unto  him.  Behold,  we  have 
forsaken  all,  and  followed  thee; 
what  shall  we  have  therefore? 

28.  Aud  Jesus  said  unto  them, 
Verily  I  say  unto  you.  That  ye 
which  have  followed  me.  in  the 
regeneration  when  the  Son  of 
man  shall  sit  in  the  throne  of  his 
glory,  ye  also  shall  sit  upon  twelve 
thrones,  judging  the  twelve  tribes 
of  Israel. 


29  And  every  one  that  hath  for- 
saken houses,  or  brethren,  or  sis- 
ters, or  father,  or  mother,  or  wife, 
or  children,  or  lands,  for  my 
name's  sake,  shall  receive  a  hun- 
dredfold, and  shall  inherit  ever- 
lasting life. 

30  But  many  that  are  first  shall 
be  last ;  and  the  last  shall  be  first. 

Strife  among  the  apostles. 
iheir  kmgdom  and  thrones. 

Lu.  22—24  And  there  was  also  a 
strife  among  them,  which  of  them 
should  be  accoimted  the  great- 
est. 

25  Aud  he  said  unto  them.  The 
kings  of  the  Gentiles  exercise 
lordship  over  them :  and  they  that 
exercise  authority  upou  them  are 
called  benefactors. 

26  But  ye  shall  not  be  so:  but  he 
that  is  greater  among  you,  let  him 
be  as  the  younger;  and  he  that  is 
chief,  as  he  that  doth  serve. 

27  For  whether  is  greater,  he 
that  sitteth  at  meat,  or  he  that 
serveth?  is  not  he  that  sitteth  at 
meat?  but  I  am  among  you  as  he 
that  serveth. 

.  28  Ye  are  they  which  have  con- 
tinued withme  in  my  temptations 

29  And  I  appoint  unto  you  a 
kingdom,  as  my  Father  hath  ap- 
pointed unto  me ; 

30  That  ye  may  eat  and  drink 
at  my  table  in  my  kingdom,  and 
sit  on  thrones  judging  the  twelve 
tribes  of  Israel. 

Zebedee's  children,  James  and 
John  (two  of  the  apostles),  make 
their  request.  See  also  Mark  lo. 
35. 

Mat.  20—20  Then  came  to  him 
the  mother  of  Zebedee's  children 
with  her  sons,  worshipping  him. 
aud  desiring  a  certain  thing  of 
him. 

21  And  he  said  unto  her.  What 
wilt  thou?  She  saith  unto  him. 
Grant  that  these  my  two  sons 
may  sit,  the  one  on  thy  right 
hand,  and  the  other  on  the  left, 
in  thy  kingdom. 

22  But  Jesus  answered  and  said, 
Ye  know  not  what  ye  ask.  Are 
ye  able  to  drink  of  the  cup  that  I 
shall  drink  of,  and  to  be  baptized 
with  the  baptism  that  I  am  bap- 
tized with?  They  say  unto  him, 
We  are  able. 


461 


23  And  he  sailh  unto  them,  Ye 
shall  drink  indeed  of  my  cup.  and 
he  baptized  with  the  baptism  that 
I  am  baptized  with:  but  to  sit  on 
my  right  hand,  and  on  my  left,  is 
not  mine  to  give,  but  it  shall  be 
given  to  them  for  whom  it  is  pre- 
pared of  my  Father. 

24  And  when  the  ten  heard  it, 
they  were  moved  with  indigna- 
tion against  the  two  brethren. 

25  But  Jesus  called  them  unto 
him,  and  said,  Ye  know  that  the 
princes  of  the  Gentiles  exercise 
dominion  over  them,  and  they 
that  are  great  exercise  authority 
upon  them. 

26  But  it  shall  not  be  so  among 
you:  but  whosoever  will  be  great, 
let  him  be  your  minister ; 

27  And  whosoever  will  be  chief 
among  you,  let  him  be  your  serv- 
ant: 

28  Even  as  the  Son  of  man  came 
not  to  be  ministered  unto,  but  to 
minister,  and  to  give  his  life  a 
ransom  for  many. 

FATE  OF  THE  APOSTLES. 


Thomas  was  run  through  the 
body  with  a  lance  at  Caromandel. 
m  the  East  Indies. 

Matthew  is  supposed  to  have 
suffered  martyrdom,  or  was  slain 
with  the  sword  at  the  city  of 
Ethiopia.  ,  ^,     , 

Judas,  Jude,  Lebbeus,  or  Thad- 
deus  was  shot  to  death  with 
arrows.  .       , 

James,  the  brother  or  cousin  of 
Jesus,  was  thrown  from  a  pinnacle 
or  wing  of  the  temple,  and  then 
beaten  to  death  with  a  fuller's 
club. 

Simon  Zelotes,  the  Canaanite, 
was  crucified  in  Persia. 


The  Bible  tells  us  nothing  about 
the  death  of  the  apostles,  al- 
though they  were  all  dead  at 
least  two  hundred  years  before 
the  New  Testament  was  compiled, 
except  James,  thebrother  of  John, 
and  Judas  Iscariot.  James  was  put 
to  death  by  command  oi  Herod, 
see  Ac.  12. 1,  2,  p.  527 ;  and  Judas, 
according  to  the  book  of  Mat- 
thew, hanged  himself,  see  Mat. 
27. 5,  p.  515.  Yet  in  the  books  of  Acts 
it  is  stated  tliat  "he  fell  head- 
long and  biu'st  asunder,  and  that 
.  all  his  bowels  gushed  out  in  the 
field  which  he  had  bought  with 
the  money  that  he  received  for  be- 
traying Jesus  Christ,  see  Acts  1. 
18,  p.  515.  As  to  the  fate  of  the 
other  apostles  it  is  claimed  that 
Peter    was   crucified    at    Rome. 

Andrew  was  bound  to  a  cross, 
whence  he  preached  unto  the 
people  till  he  expired. 

John  was  put  into  a  caldron  of 
boiling  oil  at  Rome,  and  escaped 
death.  He  afterwards  died  a 
natural  death  atEphesus,  in  Asia. 

Philip  was  hanged  up  against  a 
pillar  at  Hieropolis. 

Bartholomew  was  flayed  alive 
by  the  command  of  a  barbarous 
king. 


Matthias,  the  apostle  chosen  in 
place  of  Judas  Iscariot,  was  first 
stoned  and  then  beheaded. 

Paul  was  beheaded  at  Rome  by 
the  tyrant  Nero.  . 

Luke  was  hanged  upon  an  olive 
tree  in  Greece. 

Mark  was  dragged  through  the 
streets  of  Alexandria,  in  Egypt^ 
till  he  expired.  <.

Meeting  of  Jesus  and  Nathanael. 

Jno.  1—43  The  day  following 
Jesus  would  go  forth  into  Galilee, 
and  tindeth  Philip,  and  saith  unto 
him.  Follow  me. 

45  Philip  tindeth  Nathanael,  and 
saith  unto  him.  We  have  found 
him,  of  whom  Moses  in  the  law, 
and  the  prophets,  did  write,  Jesus 
of  Nazareth,  the  son  of  Joseph. 

46  And  Nathanael  said  unto  him. 
Can  there  any  good  thing  come 
out  of  Nazareth?  Philip  saith 
unto  him,  Come  and  see. 

47  Jesus  saw  Nathanael  coming 
to  him,  and  saith  of  him.  Behold 
an  Israelite  indeed,  in  whom  is 
no  guile! 

48  Nathanael  saith  unto  him. 
Whence  knowest  thou  me?  Jesus 
answered  and  said  unto  him,  Be- 
fore that  Pliilip  called  thee,  when 
thou  wast  under  the  tig  tree.  I  saw 
thee. 

49  Nathanael  answered  and  saith 
unto  him.  Rabbi,  thou  art  the  Son 
of  God ;  thou  art  the  King  of  Is- 
rael. 

50  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  Because  I  said  unto  thee,  I 
saw  thee  imder  the  tig  tree,  believ- 
est  thou?  thou  shalt  see  greater 
things  than  these.

51  And  he  saitlivuitoliim.  Verily, 
Terily,  I  say  iinto  you.  Hereafter 
ye  shall  see  heaven  open,  and  the 
angels  of  God  ascending  and  de- 
scending upon  the  Sou  of  man. 

THE  WIDOW'S  MITE. 

Mar.  12—41  And  Jesus  sat  over 
against  the  treasui'y,  and  heheld 
how  the  people  cast  money  into 
the  treasury :  and  many  that  were 
rich  cast  in  much. 

42  And  there  came  a  certain  poor 
widow,  and  she  threw  in  two 
mites,  which  make  a  farthing. 

43  And  he  called  unto  him  hisdi.s- 
ciples,  and  saith  unto  them.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  That  this  poor  wid- 
ow hath  cast  more  in,  than  all  they 
which  have  cast  into  the  treasury : 

44  For  all  they  did  cast  in  of 
their  abundance;  but  she  of  her 
want  did  cast  in  all  that  she  had, 
even  all  her  living. 

THE  RICH  MAN  AND  LAZ- 
ARUS. 

Lu.  16—19  There  was  a  certain 
rich  man,  which  was  clothed  in 
purple  and  fine  linen,  and  fared 
sumptuously  every  day: 

20  And  there  was  a  certain  beg- 
gar named  Lazarus,  which  was 
laid  at  his  gate,  full  of  sores, 

21  And  desiring  to  be  fed  with 
the  crumbs  which  fell  from  the 
rich  man's  table:  moreover  the 
dogs  came  and  licked  his  sores. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  the 
beggar  died,  and  was  earned  by 
the  angels  into  Abraham's  bosom: 
the  rich  man  also  died,  and  was 
buried ; 

23  And  in  hell  he  lifted  up  his 
eyes,  being  in  torments,  and  seetli 
Abraham  afar  off,  and  Lazarus  in 
his  bosom. 

24  And  he  cried  and  said.  Father 
Abraham,  liave  mercy  on  me,  and 
send  Lazarus,  that  he  may  dip 
the  tip  of  his  finger  in  water,  and 
cool  my  tongue;  for  I  am  tor- 
mented in  this  flame. 

25  But  Abraham  said.  Son,  re- 
member that  thou  in  thy  lifetime 
receivedst  thy  good  things,  and 
likewise  Lazarus  evil  things:  but 
now  he  is  comforted,  and  thou  art 
tormented. 

26  And  beside  all  this,  between 
us  and  you  there  is  a  great  gulf 
fixed:  so  that  they  which  would 
pass  from  hence  to  you  cannot ; 


neither  can  they  pass  to  us,  that 
would  come  from  thence. 

27  Then  he  said,  I  pray  thee 
therefore,  father,  that  thou  would- 
est  send  him  to  my  father's  house: 

28  Fori  have  five  brethren ;  that 
he  may  testify  unto  them,  lest 
they  also  come  into  this  place  of 
torment. 

29  Abraham  saith  unto  him. 
They  have  Moses  and  the  proph- 
ets; let  them  hear  them. 

30  And  he  said.  Nay,  father  Abra- 
ham :  but  if  one  went  unto  them 
from  the  dead,  they  will  repent. 

31  And  he  said  mito  him.  If  they 
hear  not  Moses  and  the  prophets, 
neither  will  they  be  persuaded, 
-though  one  rose  from  the  dead. 

The  rich  man  and  the  poor  man, 
according  to  James.  "Be  patient 
and  swear  not,  no  matter  how 
much  you  may  be  afflicted  and 
oppressed."  "Ye  have  heard  of 
the  patience  of  Job,"  etc.  See  the 
following  and  Job,  p.  381. 

Ja.  2—1  My  brethren,  have  not 
the  faith  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
the  Lord  of  glory,  with  respect  of 
persons. 

2  For  if  there  come  unto  your  as- 
sembly a  man  with  a  gold  ring,  in 
goodly  apparel,  and  there  come  in 
also  a  poor  man  in  vile  raiment ; 

3  And  ye  have  respect  lo  him 
that  weareth  the  gay  clothing, 
and  say  mito  him.  Sit  thou  here 
in  a  good  place ;  and  say  to  the 
poor.  Stand  thou  there,  or  sit  here 
mider  my  footstool : 

4  Are  ye  not  then  partial  in  your- 
selves, and  are  become  judges  of 
evil  thoughts. 

5Hearken, my  beloved  brethren. 
Hath  not  God  chosen  the  poor  of  , 
this  world  rich  in  faith,  and  heirs 
of  the  kingdom  which  he  hath 
promised  to  them  that  love  him? 

6  But  ye  have  despised  the  poor. 
Do  not  rich  men  oppress  you,  and 
draw  you  before  tne  judgment 
seats? 

7  Do  not  they  blaspheme  that 
worthy  name  by  which  ye  are 
called? 

Ja.  5—1  Go  to  now,  ye  rich  men, 
weep  and  howl  for  your  miseries 
that  shall  come  upon  you. 

2  Your  riches  are  corrupted, 
and  your  garments  are  moth- 
eaten. 

3  Your  gold  and  silver  is  canker- 
ed ;  and  the  rvist  of  them  shall  be 
a  witness  against  you,  and  shall 


463 


eat  your  flesh  as  it  were  fire.  Ye 
have  heaped  treasure  together  for 
the  last  days. 

4  Behold,  the  hire  of  the  labour- 
ers who  have  reaped  down  your 
fields,  which  is  of  you  kept  hack 
by  fraud,  crieth:  and  the  cries  of 
them  which  have  reaped  are  en- 
tered into  the  ears  of  the  Lord  of 
Sabbaoth. 

.5  Ye  have  lived  in  pleasure  on 
the  earth,  and  been  wanton ;  ye 
have  nourished  your  hearts,  as  in 
a  day  of  slaughter. 

6  Ye  have  condemned  and  k  illed 
the  just;  and  he  doth  not  re.sist 
you. 

7  Be  patient  therefore,  brethren, 
unto  the  coming  of  the  Lord.  Be- 
hold, the  husbandman  waiteth  for 
the  precious  fruit  of  the  earth, 
and  hath  long  patience  for  it,  un- 
til he  receive  the  early  and  latter 
rain. 

8  Be  ye  also  patient;  stablish 
your  hearts:  for  the  coming  of 
the  Lord  draweth  nigh. 

9  Grudge  not  one  against  an- 
other, brethren,  lest  ye  be  con- 
demned: behold,  the  judge  stand- 
eth  before  the  door. 

10  Take,  my  brethren,  the  proph- 
ets, who  have  spoken  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord,  for  an  example  of 
suffering  affliction,  and  of  pa- 
tience. 

11  Behold,  we  count  them  happy 
which  endure.  Ye  have  heard  of 
the  patience  of  Job,  and  have  seen 
the  end  of  the  Lord;  that  the 
Lord  is  very  pitiful,  and  of  tender 
mercy. 

12  But  above  all  things,  my 
brethren,  swear  not,  neither  by 
heaven,  neither  by  the  earth,  nei- 


ther by  any  other  oath:  but  let 
your  yea  be  yea;  and  your  nay, 
nay;  lest  ye  fall  into  condemna- 
tion. 

WALK  IN  THE   SPIRIT. 

Gal.  5—16  This  I  say  then,  Walk 
in  the  Spirit,  and  ye  shall  not 
fulfil  the  lust  of  the  flesh. 

17  For  the  flesh  lusteth  against 
the  Spirit,  and  the  Spirit  against 
the  flesh ;  and  there  are  contrary 
the  one  to  the  other;  so  that  ye 
cannot  do  the  things  that  ye 
would. 

18  But  if  ye  be  led  of  the  Spirit, 
ye  are  not  under  the  law. 

19  Now  the  works  of  the  flesh 
are  manifest,  which  are  these. 
Adultery,  fornication,  unclean- 
uess,  lasciviousness, 

'20  Idolatry,  witchcraft,  hatred, 
variance,  emulations,  wrath, 
strife,  seditions,  heresies, 

21  Envyings,  murders,  drunken- 
ness, revellings,  and  such  like:  of 
the  which  I  tell  you  before,  as  I 
have  also  told  you  in  time  past, 
that  they  which  do  such  things 
shall  not  inherit  the  kingdom  of 
God. 

22  But  the  fruit  of  the  Spirit  is 
love,  joy,  peace,  longsuffering, 
gentleness,  goodness,  faith, 

23  Meekness,  temperance: 
against  such  there  is  no  law. 

24  And  they  that  are  Christ's 
have  crucified  the  flesh  with  the 
affections  and  lusts. 

25  If  we  live  in  the  Spirit,  let  us 
also  walk  in  the  Spirit. 

26  Let  us  not  be  desirous  of 
vainglory,  provoking  one  an* 
other,  envying  one  another.

coming  of  Christ,  and  end  of  the

Captivity  of  the  Jews  foretold, 
and  the  cause  of  their  captivitv. 
See  also  Le.  26.  33,  p.  162;  De.  30.  l-

4,  p.  107. 

2  Ki.  21—10  And  the  Loed  spake 
by  his  prophets,  saying, 

11  Because  Mauasseh  king  of 
Judah  hath  done  wickedly  above 
all  that  the  Amorites  did,  which 
were  before  him,  and  hath  made 
Judah  also  to  sin  with  his  idols: 

12  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  Behold,  I  am  bring- 
ing such  evil  upon  Jerusalem  and 
Judah,  that  whosoever  heareth  of 
it.  both  his  ears  shall  tingle. 

13  And  I  will  stretch  over  Jeru- 
salem the  line  of  Samaria,  and 
the  plummet  of  the  house  of 
Ahab:  and  I  will  wipe  Jerusalem 
as  a  man  wipeth  a  dish,  wiping  it, 
and  turning  it  upside  down. 

14  And  I  will  forsake  the  rem- 
nant of  mine  inheritance,  and  de- 
liver them  into  the  hand  of  their 
enemies;  and  they  shall  become 
a  prey  and  a  spoil  to  all  their  ene- 
mies; 

15  Because  they  have  done  that 
which  was  evil  in  my  sight,  and 
have  provoked  me  to  anger,  since 
the  day  their  fathers  came  forth 
out  of  Egypt,  even  unto  this  day. 

16  Moreover  Manasseh  shed  in- 
nocent blood  very  much,  till  he 
had  filled  Jerusalem  from  one  end 
to  another;  besides  his  sin  where- 
with he  made  Judah  to  sin. 

Je.  15—1  Then  said  the  Lord 
unto  me.  Though  Moses  and  Sam- 
uel stood  before  me,  yet  my  mind 
could  not  be  toward  this  people: 
cast  them  out  of  my  sight,  and  let 
them  go  forth. 


2  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  if 
they  say  unto  thee.  Whither  shall 
we  go  forth?  then  thou  shalt  tell 
them,  Thiis  saith  the  Lord  ;  Such 
as  are  for  death,  to  death;  and 
such  as  are  for  the  sword,  to  the 
sword;  and  such  as  are  for  the 
famine,  to  the  famine;  and  such 
as  are  for  the  captivity,  to  the 
captivity. 

3  And  1  will  appoint  over  them 
four  kinds,  saith  the  Lord:  the 
sword  to  slay,  and  the  dogs  to  tear, 
and  the  fowls  of  the  heaven,  and 
the  beasts  of  the  earth,  to  devour 
and  destroy. 

4  And  I  will  cause  them  to  be 
removed  into  all  kingdoms  of  the 
earth,  because  of  Manasseh  the 
king  of  Judah,  for  that  which  he 
did  in  Jerusalem. 

5  For  who  shall  have  pity  upon 
thee,  O  Jerusalem?  or  who  shall 
bemoan  thee?  or  who  shall  go 
aside  to  ask  how  thou  doest? 

6  Thou  hast  forsaken  me,  saith 
the  Lord,  thou  art  gone  back- 
ward: therefore  will  I  stretch  out 
my  hand  against  thee,  and  destroy 
thee ;  I  am  weary  with  repenting. 

Je.  25—1  The  word  that  came  to 
Jeremiah  concerning  all  the  peo- 
ble  of  Judah,  in  the  fourth  year  of 
Jehoiakim  the  son  of  Josiah  king 
of  Judah,  that  was  the  first  year 
of  Nebuchadrezzar  king  of  Baby- 
lon; 

2  The  which  Jeremiah  the 
prophet  spake  unto  all  the  people 
of  Judah.  and  to  all  the  inhabi- 
tants of  Jerusalem. 

8  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts;  Because  ye  have  not 
heard  my  words, 

9  Behold,  I  will  send  and  take 
all  the  families  of  the  north,  saith 
the  Lord,  and  Nebuchadrezzar 
the  king  of  Babylon,  my  servant, 
and  will  brin^  them  against  this 
land,  and  against  the  inhabitants 
thereof,  and  against  all  the.se  na- 
tions round  about,  and  will  utterly 
destroy  them,  and  make  them  an 
astonishment,  and  a  hissing,  and 
perpetual  desolations. 

10  Moreover  I  will  take  from 
them  the  voice  of  mirth,  and  the 
voice  of  gladness,  the  voice  of  the 


465 


bridegroom,  and  the  voice  of  the 
bride,  the  sound  of  the  millstones, 
and  the  light  of  the  candle. 

11  And  tliis  whole  land  shall  be 
a  desolation,  and  an  astonish- 
ment; and  these  nations  shall 
serve  the  king  of  Babylon  seventy 
years.    See  Je.  29. 10,  p.  475. 

12  And  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
when  seventy  years  are  accom- 
plished,!!^^ I  will  punish  the  king 
of  Babylon,  and  that  nation,  saith 
the  Lord,  for  their  iniquity,  and 
the  land  of  the  Chaldeans,  and 
will  make  it  perpetual  desolations. 

Je.  32—28  Therefore  thus  saith 
the  Lord  ;  Behold,  I  will  give  this 
city  into  the  hand  of  the  Chal- 
deans, and  into  the  hand  of  Neb- 
uchadrezzar king  of  Babylon,  and 
he  shall  take  it: 

29  And  the  Chaldeans,  that  fight 
against  the  city,  shall  come  and 
set  fire  on  this  city,  and  burn  it 
with  the  houses,  upon  whose  roofs 
they  have  offered  incense  unto 
Baal,  and  poured  out  drink  offer- 
ings unto  other  gods,  to  provoke 
me  to  anger.    2  Ki.  25,  ip.  34. 

30  For  tlie  children  ot  Israel  and 
the  children  of  Judah  have  only 
done  evil  before  me  from  their 
youth:  for  the  children  of  Israel 
have  only  provoked  me  to  anger 
with  the  work  of  their  hands, 
saith  the  Lord. 

31  For  this  city  hath  been  to  me 
as  a  provocation  of  mine  anger 
and  of  my  fury  from  the  day  that 
tliey  built  it  even  unto  this  day, 
that  I  should  remove  it  from  'be- 
fore my  face; 

32  Because  of  all  the  evil  of  the 
children  of  Israel  and  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Judah,  which  they  have 
done  to  provoke  me  to  anger, 
they,  their  kings,  their  princes, 
their  priests,  and  their  prophets, 
and  the  men  of  Judah,  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Jerusalem. 

Is.  39—5  Then  said  Isaiah  to 
Hezekiah,  Hear  the  word  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts: 

6  Behold,  the  days  come,  that 
all  tliat  is  in  thine  house,  and  that 
which  thy  fathers  have  laid  up  in 
store  until  this  day,  shall  be  car- 
ried to  Babylon :  nothing  shall  be 
left,  saith  the  Lord. 

7  And  of  thy  sons  that  shall  is- 
sue from  thee,  which  thou  shalt 
beget,  shall  they  take  away;  and 
they  shall  be  eunuchs  in  the 
palace  of  the  king  of  Babylon. 


Am.  7—10  Amaziah  the  priest  of 
Beth-el  sent  to  Jeroboam  king  of 
Israel,  saying,  Amos  hath  con- 
spired against  thee  in  the  midst 
of  the  house  of  Israel :  the  land  is 
not  able  to  bear  all  his  words. 

11  For  thus  Amos  saith,  Jerobo- 
am shall  die  by  the  sword,  and 
Israel  shall  surely  be  led  away 
captive  out  of  their  own  land. 

12  Also  Amaziah  said  unto  Amos, 

0  thou  seer,  go,  tiee  thee  away 
into  the  laud  of  Judah,  and  there 
eat  bread,  and  prophesy  there : 

13  But  prophesy  not  again  any 
more  at  Beth-el :  for  it  is  the  king's 
chapel,  and  it  is  the  king's  court. 

14  Then  ansM'ered  Amos,  and 
said  to  Amaziah,  I  was  no  prophet, 
neither  was  I  a  prophet's  son :  but 

1  was  a  herdman,  and  a  gatherer 
of  sycamore  fruit: 

15  And  the  Lord  took  me  as  I 
followed  the  flock,  and  the  Lord 
said  unto  me.  Go,  prophesy  unto 
my  people  l.srael. 

16  Now  therefore  hear  thou  the 
word  of  tlie  Lord:  Thou  sayest. 
Prophesy  not  against  Israel,  and 
drop  not  thy  word  against  the 
house  of  Lsaac. 

iTThereforethus  saiththe  Lord  ; 
Thv  wife  shalt  be  a  harlot  in  the 
city,  and  thy  sons  and  thy  daugh- 
ters shall  fall  by  the  sword,  and 
thy  land  shall  be  divided  by  line: 
and  thou  shalt  die  in  a  polluted 
land:  and  Israel  shall  surely  go 
into  captivity  forth  of  his  land. 

Ho.  13—16  Samaria  shall  become 
desolate ;  for  she  hath  rebelled  a- 
gainst  her  God:  they  shall  fall  by 
the  sword:  their  infants  shall  be 
dashed  in  pieces,  and  their  women 
with  chila  shall  be  ripped  up. 

CAPTIVITY  OF  THE  JEWS  OF 
ISRAEL  AND  JUDAH. 


After  the  death  of  Solomon  the 
Jewish  nation  was  divided  (the 
beginning  of  their  downfall),  and 
the  tribes  of  Judah  and  Benjamin 
made  Rehoboam,  son  of  Solomon, 
their  king,  and  he  was  known  as 
the  king  of  Judah,  and  dwelt  in 
Jerusalem;  and  the  other  ten 
tribes  made  Jeroboam,  son  of 
Nebat,  their  king,  and  he  was 
known  as  the  king  of  Israel,  and 
dwelt  in  Shechem.  Hence,  the 
kings  of  Judah  and  Israel,  see  p. 
332. 


466 


2  Ki.  15—29  In  the  days  of  Pekali 
king  of  Israel  came  Tiglath-pi- 
leser  king  of  Assyria,  and  took 
Ijou,  and  Abel-betli-maacliah,  and 
Janoah,  and  Kedesli,  and  Hazor, 
and  Gileadj  and  Galilee,  all  the 
land  of  INapthali,  and  carried 
them  captive  to  Assyria. 

2  Ki.  18—9  And  it  came  to  pass 
in  the  fourth  year  of  king  Heze- 
kiah,  which  was  the  seventh  year 
of  Hoshea  son  of  Elah  king  of 
Israel,  that  Shalmaneser  king  of 
Assyria  came  up  against  Samaria, 
and  besieged  it. 

10  And  at  the  end  of  three  years 
they  took  it:  even  in  the  sixth 
year  of  Hezekiah,  that  is  the  ninth 
j-ear  of  Hoshea  knig  of  Israel. 

11  And  the  king  of  Assyria  did 
carry  away  Israel  unto  Assyria, 
and  put  them  in  Halah  and  in 
Habor  by  the  river  of  Gozan,  and 
in  the  cities  of  the  Medes: 

12  Because  they  obeyed  not  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  their  God,  but 
transgressed  his  covenant,  and  all 
that  Moses  the  servant  of  the 
Lord  commanded,  and  would 
not  hear  them,  nor  do  them.  p. 
293. 

2  Ki.  24—10  At  that  time  the  .ser- 
vants of  Nebuchadnezzar  king  of 
Babylon  came  up  against  Jerusa- 
lem, and  the  city  was  besieged. 

12  And  Jehoiachin  the  king  of 
Judah  went  out  to  the  king  of 
Babylon,  he,  and  his  mother,  and 
his  servants,  and  hi«  princes,  and 
Ills  officers:  and  the  king  of  Baby- 
lon took  him  in  the  eighth  year 
of  his  reign. 

13  And  he  carried  out  thence  all 
the  treasures  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  the  treasures  of  the 
king's  house,  and  cut  in  pieces  all 
the  vesselsof  gold  which  Solomon 
king  of  Israel  had  made  in  the 
temple  of  the  Lord,  as  the  Lord 
had  said. 

14  And  he  carried  away  all  Je- 
rusalem, and  all  the  princes,  and 
all  the  mighty  men  of  valour,  even 
ten  thousand  captives,  and  all 
the  craftsmen  and  smiths:  none 
remained,  save  the  poorest  sort  of 
the  people  of  the  land. 

17  And  the  king  of  Babylon  made 
Mattaniah  his  father's  lirother 
king  in  his  stead,  and  changed 
his  name  to  Zedekiah.  See  2  Ki, 
25,  p.  34.  You  will  find  another 
account  of  the  captivity  of  the 
Jews  in  2  Chr.  36 ;  Je.  39  and  52. 


18  Zedekiah  was  twenty  and  one 
years  old  when  he  began  to  reign, 
and  he  reigned  eleven  years  in  Je- 
rusalem. 

Return  of  the  Jews  fi'om  Baby- 
lon after  their  seventy  years'  so- 
jom-n  there.  The  following,  Ezr. 
2,  is  the  only  account  given  in  the 
Bible  of  the  number  of  Jews  that 
returned  to  either  Jerusalem  or 
Samaria,  of  all  who  were  captured, 
except  Ne.  7.  C-73,  which  is  a  du- 
plicate of  Ezr.  2  following. 


Ezr.  2—1  Now  these  are  the  chil- 
dren of  the  province  that  went  up 
out  of  the  captivity,  of  those 
which  had  been  carried  away, 
whom  Nebuchadnezzar  the  king 
of  Babylon  had  carried  away  mito 
Babylon,  and  came  again  unto  Je- 
rusalem and  Judah,  every  one 
unto  his  city; 

2  Which  came  with  Zerubbabel : 
Jeshua,  Nehemiah^  Zeraiah,  Reel- 
aiah,  Mordecai,  Bilshan,  Mizpar, 
Bigvai,  Rehum.  Baanah.  The 
number  of  the  men  of  the  people 
of  Israel: 

64  The  whole  congregation  to- 
gether was  forty  and  two  thou- 
sand three  hundred  and  three- 
score. 

65  Besides  their  servants  and 
their  maids,  of  whom  there  were 
seven  thousand  three  hundred 
thirty  and  seven:  and  there  were 
among  them  two  hundred  singing 
nien  and  singing  women. 

66  Their  horses  were  seven  hun- 
dred thirty  and  six;  their  mules, 
two  hundred  forty  and  five ; 

67  Their  camels,  four  hundred 
thirty  and  five;  their  asses,  six 
thousand  seven  hundred  and 
twenty. 

68  And  some  of  the  chief  of  the 
fathers,  when  they  came  to  the 
house  of  the  Lord  which  is  at 
Jerusalem,  offered  freely  for  tlie 
house  of  God  to  set  it  up  in  his 
place: 

69  They  gave  after  their  ability 
unto  the  treasure  of  the  work 
threescore  and  one  thousand 
drams  of  gold,  and  five  thousand 
pounds  of  silver,  and  one  hundred 
priests'  garments. 

70  So  the  priests,  and  the  Le- 
vites,  and  some  of  the  people,  and 
the  smgers,  and  the  porters,  and 
the  Nethinim,  dwelt  m  their  cit- 
ies, and  all  Israel  in  their  cities.

JUDAH'S     BLESSING     FROM 
HIS    FATHER   JACOB. 


Ge  49—1  And  Jacob  called  unto 
his  sons,  and  said.  Gather  your- 
selves together,  that  I  may  tell 
you  that  which  shall  befall  you 
in  the  last  days. 

8  Judah,  thou  art  he  whom  thy 
brethren  shall  praise:  thy  hand 
shall  be  in  the  neck  of  thine  ene- 
mies; thy  father's  children  shall 
bow  down  before  thee. 

9  Judah  is  a  lion's  whelp:  from 
the  prey,  my  son.  thou  art  gone 
up:  he  stooped  down,  he.coucliecl 
as  a  lion,  and  as  an  old  lion ;  who 
shall  rouse  him  up?  ,1^^,,.^ 

10  The  sceptre  shall  not  depait 
from  Judah.  nor  a  lawgiver  from 
between  his  feet,  until  Sluloh 
come;  and  unto  him  shall  the 
gathering  of  the  people  be. 

11  Binding  his  foal  unto  the 
vine,  and  his  ass's  colt  unto  the 
choice  vine ;  he  washed  his  gar- 
ments in  wine,  and  his  clothes  in 
the  blood  of  grapes: 

19  His  eyes  shall  be  red  with 
wiiie.  and  his  teeth  white  with 

™Ig^2-l  The  word  that  Isaiah  the 
son  of  Amoz  saw  concerning  Ju- 
dah and  Jerusalem. 


2  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the 
last  days.that  the  mountain  of  the 
LoRD's^iouse  shall  be  established 
in  the  top  of  the  momitains.  and 
shall  be  exalted  above  the  hills; 
and  all  nations  shall  flow  imto 

3  And  many  people  shall  go  and 
say.  Come  ye,  and  let  us  go  up  to 
the  mountain  of  the^  Lord,  to  the 
house  of  the  God  of  Jacob ;  and  lie 
will  teach  us  of  his  ways,  and  we 
will  walk  in  his  paths:  tor  out  ot 
Zionshall  go  forth  the  law,  and  the 
word  of  the  Lord  from  Jerusa- 

"^i^And  he  shall  judge  among  the 
nations,  and  shall  rebuke  many 
people :  and  they  shall  beat  their 
swords  into  ploughshares,  and 
their  spears  into  pruuinghooks: 
nation  shall  not  .lift  up  sword 
against  nation,  neither  shall  they 
learn  war  any  more.  Jo.  3.  10,  p. 
72. 

Mi  4—1  But  in  the  last  days  it 
shall  come  to  pass,  thatthe  moimt- 
aiu  of  the  house  of  the  Lord  shall 
be  established  in  the  top  of  the 
mountains,  and  it  shall  be  exalted 
above  the  hills;  and  people  shall 
flow  unto  it.  . 

2  And  many  nations  shall  come, 
and  say.  Come,  and  let  us  go  up  to 
the  mountains  of  the  Lord,  and  to 
the  house  of  the  God  of.  Jacob; 
and  he-will  teach  us  of  his  ways, 
and  we  will  walk  m  his  paths, 
for  the  law  shall  go  forth  of  Zion. 
and  the  word  of  the  Lord  from 
Jerusalem.       ,    ,,  .    , 

3  And  he  shall  audge  among 
many  people,  and  rebiike  strong 
nations  afar  off ;  and  they  shall 
beat  their  swords  into  plough- 
shares, and  their  spears  mto  prun- 
inghooks:  nation  shall  not  Im  up 
a  sword  agahist  nation,  neither 
shall  they  learn  war  any  more. 

4  But  they  shall  sit  every  .man 
under  his  vine  and  under  his  tig 
tree ;  and  none  shall  make  them 
afraid :  for  the  mouth  of  the  Lord 
of  lu3sts  hath  spoken  it. 

5  For  all  people  will  walk  every 
one  in  the  name  of  his  god.  and 
we  will  walk  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord  our  God  for  ever  and  ever. 

6  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord, 
will  I  assemble  her  that  halteth, 
and  I  will  gather  her  that  is  driv- 
en out.  and  her  that  I  have  af- 

1  flicted ; 


468 


7  And  I  will  make  her  that  halt- 
ed a  remnant,  and  her  that  was 
cast  far  off  a  strong  nation:  and 
the  Lord  shall  reign  over  them  in 
mount  Zion  £rom  henceforth,  even 
for  ever.    Jno.  12.  34,  p.  197. 

8  And  thou,  O  tower  of  the  flock, 
the  strong  hold  of  the  daughter 
of  Zion,  unto  thee  shall  it  come, 
even  the  first  dominion ;  the  king- 
dom shall  come  to  the  daughter 
of  Jerusalem. 

9  Now  why  dost  thou  cry  out 
aloud?  is  there  no  king  in  thee? 
is  thy  coun.sellor  perished?  for 
pangs  have  taken  thee  as  a  wo- 
man in  travail. 

10  Be  in  pain,  and  labour  to 
bring  forth,  O  daughter  of  Zion, 
like  a  woman  in  travail:  for  now 
Shalt  thou  go  forth  out  of  the  city, 
and  thou  shalt  dwell  in  the  field, 
and  thoushalt  go  even  to  Babylon ; 
there  shalt  thou  be  delivered; 
there  the  Lord  shall  redeem  thee 
from  the  hand  of  thine  enemies. 

11  Now  also  many  nations  are 
gathered  against  thee,  that  say, 
Let  her  be  defiled,  and  let  our 
eye  look  upon  Zion. 

12  But  they  know  not  the 
thoughts  of  the  Lord,  neither 
understand  they  his  counsel:  for 
he  shall  gather  them  as  the 
sheaves  into  the  floor. 

13  Arise  and  thresh,  O  daughter 
of  Zion;  for  1  will  make  thine 
horn  iron,  and  I  will  mnke  thv 
hoofs  brass:  and  thou  shalt  beat 
in  pieces  many  people:  and  I  will 
consecrate  their  gain  unto  the 
Lord,  and  their  substance  unto 
the  Lord  of  the  whole  earth. 

Is.  4—1  And  in  that  day  seven 
women  shall  take  hold  of  one 
man,  saying.  We  will  eat  our  own 
'  bread,  and  wear  our  own  apparel ; 
only  let  us  be  called  by  thy  name, 
to  take  away  our  reproach. 

2  In  that  day  shall  the  branch  of 
the  Lord  be  beautiful  and  glori- 
ous, and  the  fruit  of  the  earth 
shall  be  excellent  and  comely  for 
them  that  are  escaped  of  Israel. 

3  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
he  that  is  left  in  Zion,  and  he 
that  remaineth  in  Jerusalem, 
shall  be  called  holy,  even  every 
one  that  is  written  among  the  liv- 
ing in  Jerusalem : 

4  When  the  Lord  shall  have 
washed  away  the  filth  of  the 
daughters  of  Zion,  and  shall  have 
purged  the   blood  of  Jerusalem 


from  the  midst  thereof  by  the 
spirit  of  judgment,  and  by  the 
spirit  of  burning. 

5  And  the  Lord  will  create  upon 
every  dwellingplace  of  moiuit 
Zion,  and  upoa  her  assemblies, 
a  cloud  and  smoke  by  dav,  and 
the  shining  of  a  flaming  tire  by 
night :  for  upon  all  the  glory  shall 
be  a  defence. 

C  And  there  shall  be  a  tabernacle 
for  a  shadow  in  the  daytime  from 
the  heat,  and  for  a  place  of  refuge, 
and  for  a  covert  from  storm  and 
from  rain. 

Is.  7—10  Moreover  the  Lord  spake 
again  unto  Ahaz,  saying, 

11  Ask  thee  a  sign  of  the  Lord 
thy  God;  ask  it  either  in  the 
depth,  or  in  the  height  above. 

12  But  Ahaz  said,  I  will  not  ask, 
neither  will  I  tempt  the  Lord. 

13  And  he  said.  Hear  ye  now,  O 
house  of  David ;  Is  it  a  small  thing 
for  you  to  weary  men,  but  will  ye 
weary  my  God  also? 

14  Therefore  the  Lord  himself 
shall  give  you  a  sign;  Behold,  a 
virgin  shall  conceive,  and  bear  a 
son,  and  shall  call  his  name  Im- 
manuel. 

15  Butter  and  honey  shall  he  eat, 
that  he  may  know  to  refuse  the 
evil,  and  choose  the  good. 

19  For  before  the  child  shall 
know  to  refuse  the  evil,  and 
choose  the  good,  the  land  that 
thou  abhorrest  shall  be  forsaken 
of  both  her  kings. 

21  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  a  man  shall  noiuLsh 
a  young  cow  and  two  sheep; 

22  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  for 
the  abundance  of  milk  that  they 
shall  give,  he  shall  eat  butter:  for 
butter  and  honey  shall  everyone 
eat  that  is  left  in  the  land. 

Is.  9—5  Every  battle  of  the  war- 
rior is  with  confused  noise,  and 
garments  rolled  in  blood;  but 
this  shall  be  with  burning  and 
fuel  of  fire. 

6  For  unto  lis  a  child  is  bom, 
unto  us  a  child  is  given:  and  the 
government  shall  be  upon  his 
shoulder:  and  his  name  shall  he 
called  Wonderful,  Counsellor,  The 
mightj'  God,  The  everlasting  Fa- 
ther, The  Prince  of  Peace. 

7  Of  the  increase  of  his  govern- 
ment and  peace  there  shall  be  no 
end,  upon  the  throne  of  David, 
and  upon  his  kingdom,  to  order  it, 
and  to  establish  it  with  judgment 


469 


and  with  justice  from  henceforth 
even  for  ever.  The  zeal  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts  will  perform  this. 

Is.  10—20  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass  in  that  day,  that  the  rem- 
nant of  Israel,  and  such  as  are  es- 
caped of  the  house  of  Jacob,  shall 
no  more  again  stay  upon  him  that 
smote  them ;  but  shall  stay  upon 
the  Lord,  the  Holy  One  of  Israel, 
in  truth. 

21  The  remnant  shall  return, 
even  the  remnant  of  Jacob,  unto 
the  mighty  God. 

22  For  though  thy  people  Israel 
be  as  the  sand  of  the  sea,  yet  a 
remnant  of  them  shall  return: 
the  consumption  decreed  shall 
overtlow  with  righteousness. 

23  For  the  Lord  God  of  hosts 
shall  make  a  consumi)tion,  even 
determined,  in  the  midst  of  all 
the  land. 

Is.  11—1  And  there  shall  come 
forth  a  rod  out  of  the  stem  of 
Jesse,  and  a  Branch  shall  grow 
out  of  his  roots: 

2  And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
shall  rest  upon  him,  the  spirit  of 
wisdom  and  understanding,  the 
spirit  of  counsel  and  might,  the 
spirit  of  knowledge  and  of  the 
fear  of  the  Lord- 

3  And  shall  make  him  of  quick 
understanding  in  the  fear  of  the 
Lord:  and  he  shall  not  judge 
after  the  sight  of  his  eyes,  neither 
reprove  after  the  hearing  of  his 
ears : 

4  But  with  righteousness  shall 
he  judge  the  poor,  and  reprove 
with  equity  for  the  meek  of  the 
earth:  and  he  shall  smite  the 
earth  with  the  rod  of  his  mouth, 
and  with  the  breath  of  his  lips 
shall  he  slay  the  wicked. 

5  And  righteousness  shall  be  the 
girdle  of  his  loins,  and  faithful- 
ness the  girdle  of  his  reins. 

6  The  wolf  also  shall  dwell  with 
the  lamb,  and  the  leopard  shall 
lie  down  with  the  kid;  and  the 
calf  and  the  young  lion  and  the 
fatling  together;  anda  little  child 
shall  lead  them.    Is.  65.  25,  p.  78. 

7  And  the  cow  and  the  bear  shall 
feed;  their  young  ones  shall  lie 
down  together:  and  the  lion  shall 
eat  straw  like  the  ox. 

8  And  the  sucking  child  shall 
play  on  the  hole  of  the  asp,  and 
the  weaned  child  shall  put  his 
Land  on  the  cockatrice'  den. 

9  They  shall  not  hurt  nor  de- 


stroy in  all  my  holy  movmtain:  for 
the  earth  shall  be  full  of  the 
knowledge  of  the  Lord,  as  the 
waters  cover  the  sea. 

10  And  in  that  day  there  shall 
be  a  root  of  Jesse,  which  shall 
stand  for  an  ensign  of  the  people ; 
to  it  shall  the  Gentiles  seek :  and 
his  rest  shall  be  glorious. 

11  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  the  Lord  shall  set 
his  hand  again  the  second  time  to 
recover  the  remnant  of  his  people, 
which  shall  be  left,  from  Assyria, 
and  from  Egypt,  Pathros,  Cush, 
Elam,  Sliinar,  and  from  Hamath, 
and  from  the  islands  of  the  .sea. 

12  'And  he  shall  set  up  an  ensign 
forthe  nations,  and  shall  assemble 
the  outcasts  of  Israel,  and  gather 
together  the  dispersed  of  Judah 
from  the  four  corners  of  the 
earth. 

13  The  envy  also  of  Ephrann 
shall  depart,  and  the  adversaries 
of  Judahshallbe  cutoff:  Ephraim 
shall  not  envy  Judah,  and  Judah 
sliall  not  vex  Ephraim. 

14  But  they  shall  fly  upon  the 
shoulders  of  the  Philistines 
toward  the  west ;  they  shall  spoil 
them  of  the  east  together:  they 
sliall  lay  their  hand  upon  Edom 
and  Moab;  and  the  children  of 
Amnion  shall  obey  them. 

15  And  the  Lord  shall  utterly 
destroy  the  tongue  of  the  Egyp- 
tian sea:  and  with  his  mighty 
wind  shall  he  shake  his  hand  over 
the  river,  and  shall  smite  it  in  the 
seven  streams,  and  make  men  go 
over  dryshod. 

16  And  there  shall  be  a  highway 
for  the  remnant  of  his  people, 
which  shall  be  left,  from  Assyria ; 
like  as  it  was  to  Israel  in  the  day 
that  he  came  up  out  of  the  land 
of  Egypt. 

Is.  14—1  For  the  Lord  will  have 
mercy  on  Jacob,  and  "will  yet 
choose  Israel,  and  set  them  in  their 
own  land:  and  the  strangers  shall 
be  joined  with  them,  and  they 
shall  cleave  to  the  house  of 
Jacob. 

2  And  the  people  shall  take 
them,  and  bring  them  to  their 
place:  and  the  house  of  Israel 
shall  possess  them  in  the  land  of 
the  Lord  for  servants  and  hand- 
maids: and  they  shall  take  them 
captives,  whose  captives  they 
were:  and  they  shall  rule  over 
their  oppressors. 


470 


3  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  the 
day  that  the  Lord  shallgive  thee 
rest  from  thy  sorrow,  and  from  thy 
fear,  and  from  the  hard  bondage 
wherein  thou  wast  niade  to  serve. 

Is.  27—12  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass  in  that  day,  that  the  Lord 
shall  heat  off  from  the  channel  of 
the  river  unto  the  stream  of 
Egypt,  and  ye  .shall  be  gathered 
one  by  one,  O  ye  children  of 
Israel. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  the  great  trumpet 
shall  be  blown,  and  they  shall 
come  which  were  ready  to  perish 
in  the  land  of  Assyria,  and  the 
outcasts  in  the  land  of  Egypt,  and 
shall  worship  the  Lord  in  the 
lioly  mount  at  Jerusalem. 

Is.  28—5  In  that  day  shall  the 
Lord  of  hosts  be  for  a  crown  of 
glory,  and  for  a  diadem  of  beauty, 
unto  the  residence  of  his  people, 

6  And  for  a  spirit  of  judgment 
to  him  that  sitteth  in  judgment, 
and  for  strength  to  them  that 
turn  tlie  battle  to  the  gate. 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord  God,  Behold,  I  lay  in  Zion 
for  a  foundation  a  stone,  a  tried 
stone,  a  precious  corner  stone,  a 
sure  foundation:  he  that  believ- 
eth  shall  not  make  haste. 

17  Judgment  also  will  I  lay  to 
the  line,  and  righteousness  to  the 
plummet:  and  the  hail  shall 
sweep  away  the  refuge  of  lies, 
and  tlie  waters  shall  overflow  the 
hiding  place. 

Is.  32—1  Behold,  a  King  shall 
reign  in  righteou.sness,  and  princes 
shall  rule  in  judgment. 

18  And  my  people  shall  dwell 
in  a  peaceful  iiabitation,  and  in 
sure  dwellings,  and  in  quiet  rest- 
ing places. 

Is.  3.'j— 1  The  wilderness  and  the 
solitai-y  place  shall  be  glad  for 
them;  and  the  desert  shall  re- 
joice, and  blossom  as  the  rose. 

2  It  shall  blossom  abundantly, 
and  rejoice  even  with  joy  and 
singing:  the  glory  of  Lebanon 
shall  be  given  unto  it,  the  excel- 
lency of  Carmel  and  Sharon ;  they 
shall  see  the  glory  f>f  the  Lord, 
and  the  excellency  of  our  God. 

10  And  the  ransomed  of  the 
Lord  shall  return,  and  come  to 
Zion  with  songs  and  everlasting 
joy  upon  their  heads:  they  shaU 
obtain  joy  and  gladness,  and  sor- 
row and  sighing  shall  flee  away, 
p.  319. 


Is.  40—1  Comfort  ye,  comfort  ye 
my  people,  saith  your  God. 

2  Speak  ye  comfortably  to  Jeru- 
salem, and  cry  unto  her,  that  her 
warfare  is  accomplished,  that  her 
iniquity  is  pardoned :  for  she  hath 
received  of  the  Lord's  hand 
double  for  all  her  sins. 

9  H  O  Zion,  that  bringest  good 
tidings,  get  thee  up  into  the  high 
mountains;  O  Jerusalem,  that 
bringest  good  tidings,  lift  up  thy 
voice  witn  strength;  lift  it  \\p,  be 
not  afraid;  say  unto  the  cities  of 
Judah,  Behold  your  God! 

10  Behold,  the  Lord  God  will 
come  with  strong  hand,  and  his 
arm  shall  rule  for  him:  behold, 
his  reward  is  with  him,  and  his 
work  before  him. 

11  He  shall  feed  his  flock  like  a 
shepherd:  he  shall  gather  the 
lambs  with  his  arm.  and  carry 
them  in  his  bosom,  and  shall  gent- 
ly lead  those  that  ai-e  with  young. 

Is.  42—1  Behold  my  servant, 
whom  I  uphold;  mine  elect,  in 
whom  my  soul  delighteth  ;  I  have 
put  my  Spirit  upon  him:  he  shall 
bring  forth  judgment  to  the 
Gentiles. 

2  He  shall  not  cry,  nor  lift  up, 
nor  cause  his  voice  to  be  heard  in 
the  street. 

3  A  briiised  reed  shall  he  not 
break,  and  the  smoking  flax  shall 
he  not  quench:  he  shall  bring 
forth  judgment  unto  truth. 

4  He  shall  not  fail  nor  be  dis- 
couraged, till  he  have  set  judg- 
ment in  the  earth :  and  the  isles 
shall  -wait  for  his  law. 

5  Thus  saith  God  the  Lord. 
he  that  created  the  heavens,  and 
stretched  them  out;  he  thatspread 
forth  the  earth,  and  that  which 
Cometh  out  of  it;  he  that  givetli 
breath  unto  the  people  upon  it,  and 
spirit  to  them  that  walk  therein: 

6  I  the  Lord  have  called  thee  in 
righteousness,  and  will  hold  thine 
hand,  and  will  keep  thee,  and  give 
thee  for  a  covenant  of  the  people, 
for  a  light  of  the  Gentiles; 

7  To  open  the  blind  eyes,  to 
bring  out  the  prisoners  from  the 
pri.son,  and  them  that  sit  in  dark- 
ness out  of  the  prison  hoiise. 

8  I  am  the  Lord;  that  is  my 
name:  and  my  glory  will  I  not 
give  to  another. 

0  Behold,  the  former  things,  are 
come  to  pass,  and  new  things  do 
I  declare:  befoi'e  they  spring  forth 
I  tell  you  of  them.    p.  23.

Is.  4i>— 1  Listen, O  isles,  unto  me; 
and  hearken,  ye  people,  from  far; 
The  Lord  hath  called  me  from 
the  womb ;  from  the  bowelsof  my 
mother  hath  he  made  mention  of 
my  name. 

2  And  he  hath  made  my  mouth 
like  a  sharp  sword  ;  in  the  shadow 
of  his  hand  hath,  he  hid  me,  and 
made  me  a  polished  shaft;  in  his 
quiver  hath  he  hid  me; 

3  And  said  unto  me,  Thou  art 
my  servant,  O  Israel,  m  whom  1 
will  be  glorified. 

4  Then  I  said,  I  have  laboured 
in  vain,  I  have  spent  my  strength 
for  nought,  and  in  vain :  yet  sure- 
ly my  judgment  is  with  the  Lord, 
and  my  work  with  my  God. 

5  And  now,  saith  the  Lord  that 
formed  me  from  the  womb  to  be 
his  servant,  to  bring  Jacob  again 
to  him.  Though  Israel  be  not 
gathered,  yet  shall  I  be  glorious 
in  the  eves  of  the  Lord,  and  my 
God  shall  be  my  strength. 

6  And  he  said.  It  is  a  light  thing 
that  thou  shouldst  be  my  servant 
to  raise  up  the  tribes  of  Jacob,  and 
to  restore  the  preserved  of  Israel : 
I  will  also  give  thee  for  a  light  to 
the  Gentiles,  that  thou  niayest  be 
my  salvation  unto  the  end  of  the 
earth.  ,     .„ 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  the  Re- 
deemer of  Israel,  and  his  Holy 
(^ne,  to  him  whom  man  despiseth, 
to  him  whom  the  nation  abhor- 
reth,  to  a  servant  of  rulers.  Kings 
shall  see  and  arise,  princes  also 
shall  worship,  because  of  the  Lord 
that  is  faithful,  and  the  Holy  One 
of  Israel,  and  he  shall  choose 
thee. 

8  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  In  an 
acceptable  time  have  I  heard 
thee,  and  in  a  day  of  salvation 
have  I  helped  thee:  and  1  will 
pre.serve  thee,  and  give  thee  for  a 
covenant  of  the  people,  to  estab- 
lish the  earth,  to  cause  to  inherit 
the  desolate  heritages; 

9  That  thou  mayest  say  to  the 
))risonei-s.  Go  forth;  to  them  that 
are  in  darkness.  Shew  your- 
selves. They  shall  feed  in  the 
ways,  and  their  pastiu'es  shall  be 
in  all  high  places. 

10  They  shall  not  hunger  nor 
thirst:  neither  shall  the  heat  nor 
sun  smite  them :  for  he  that  hath 
mercv  on  them  shall  lead  them, 
even  by  tlie  springs  of  watershall 
he  guide  them. 


n  And  I  will  make  all  my 
mountains  a  way,  and  my  high- 
ways shall  be  exalted. 

12  Behold,  these  shall  come 
from  far:  and,  lo,  these  from  the 
north  and  from  the  west;  and 
these  from  the  land  of  Siuim. 

22  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Be- 
hold,! will  lift  up  mine  hand  to 
the  Gentiles,  and  setup  my  stand- 
ard to  the  people:  and  they  shall 
bring  thy  sons  in  their  arms,  and 
thy  daughters  shall  be  carried  up- 
on their  shoulders. 

23  And  kings  shall  be  thy  nurs- 
ing fathers,  and  their  queens  thy 
nursing  mothers:  they  shall  bow 
down  to  thee  with  their  face  to- 
ward the  earth,  and  lick  up  the 
dust  of  thy  feet;  and  thou  shalt 
know  that  I  am  the  Lord:  for 
they  shall  not  be  ashamed  that 
wait  for  me. 

24  Shall  the  prey  be  taken  from 
the  mighty,  or  the  lawful  captive 
delivered? 

25  But  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Even  the  captives  of  the  mighty 
shall  be  taken  away,  and  the  prey 
of  the  terrible  shall  be  delivered: 
for  I  will  contend  with  him  that 
contendeth  witli  thee,  and  I  will 
save  thy  children. 

26  And  I  will  feed  them  that 
oppress  thee  with  their  own  flesh ; 
and  they  shall  be  drunken  with 
their  own  blood,  as  with  sweet 
wine:  and  all  flesh  shall  know 
that  1  the  Lord  am  thy  Saviour 
and  thy  Redeemer,  the  Mighty 
One  of  Jacob.  ,    ^         ,      , 

Is.  50—4  The  Lord  God  hath 
given  me  the  tongue  of  the  learn- 
ed, that  I  should  know  how  to 
speak  a  word  in  season  to  him  that 
is  weary:  he  wakeneth  morning 
by  moiiiing,  he  wakeneth  mine 
ear  to  hear  as  the  learned. 

5  The  Lord  God  hath  opened 
mine  ear,  and  I  was  not  rebellious, 
neither  turned  away  back. 

6  I  gave  my  back  to  the  smiters, 
and  my  cheeks  to  them  that 
plucked  off  the  hair:  I  hid  not 
my  face   from   shame   and   spit- 

7Tor  the  Lord  God  will  help 
me ;  therefore  shall  I  not  be  con- 
founded: therefore  have  I  set  my 
face  like  a  flint,  and  I  know  that 
I  shall  not  be  ashamed. 

Is.  51—3  The  Lord  shall  comfort 
Zion:  hewillcomfort allherwaste 
places,   and   he   will    make   liei- 


472 


wilderness  like  Edeu.  and  her 
desert  like  the  garden  of  the 
Lord  ;  joy  and  gladness  shall  be 
found  therein,  thanksgiving,  and 
the  voice  of  melody. 

4  Hearken  unto  me,  my  people ; 
and  give  ear  unto  me,  0  my  na- 
tion :  for  a  law  shall  proceed  from 
me,  and  I  will  make  my  judgment 
to  rest  for  a  light  of  the  people. 

9  Awake,  put  on  strength,  O 
arm  of  the  Lord;  as  in  the  an- 
cient days.  Art  thou  not  it  that 
hath  cut   Rahah,  and  wounded 

,the   dragon?     [Rahab,    a    name 
given  to  Egypt.] 

10  Art  thou  not  it  which  hath 
dried  the  sea,  the  waters  of  the 
great  deep;  that  hath  made  the 
depths  of  the  sea  a  way  for  the 
ransomed  to  pass  over? 

11  Therefore  the  redeemed  of 
the  Lord  shall  return,  and  come 
with  singing  mito  Zion ;  and  ever- 
lasting joy  shall  be  upon  their 
head :  they  shall  obtain  gladne-ss 
and  joy ;  and  sorrow  anoT  mourn- 
ing shall  flee  away. 

Is.  52—1  Awake,  put  on  thy 
strength,  O  Zion;  but  on  thy 
beautiful  garments,  O  Jerusalem, 
the  holy  city :  for  henceforth  there 
shall  no  more  come  into  thee  the 
imcircumcised  and  the  unclean. 

2  Shake  thyself  from  the  dust; 
arise,  and  sit  down,  O  Jerusalem: 
loose  thyself  from  the  bands  of 
thy  neck,  Q  captive  daughter  of 
Zion. 

3  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Ye 
have  sold  yourselves  for  nought ; 
and  ye  shall  be  redeemed  without 
monev. 

4  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God, 
My  people  went  down  aforetime 
into  Egypt  to  sojourn  tliere;  and 
the  Assyrian  oppressed  them 
without  cause. 

5  Now  therefore,  what  have  I 
here,  saith  the  Lord,  that  my 
people  is  taken  away  for  nought? 
they  that  rule  over  them  make 
them  to  howl,  saith  the  Lord; 
and  my  name  continually  every 
day  is  bla.sphemed. 

6  Therefore  my  people  shall 
know  my  name:  therefore  they 
shall  know  in  tliat  day  that  I  am 
he  that  doth  speak :  behold,  it  is  I. 

7  How  heautiful  lapon  the  moun- 
tains are  the  feet  of  him  that 
bringeth  good  tidings,  that  pub- 
lisheth  peace ;  that  bringeth  good 
tidings  of  good,  that  publisneth 


salvation;  that  saith  unto  Zion, 
Thy  God  reigneth ! 

(Na.  1—15  Behold  upon  the 
mountains  the  feet  of  him  that 
bringeth  good  tidings,  that  pub- 
lisheth  i^eace!  O  Judah,  keep  thy 
solemn  feasts,  perform  thy  vows: 
for  the  wicked  shall  no  more  pass 
through  thee ;  he  is  utterly  cut  off.) 

8  Thy  watchmen  shall  lift  up 
the  voice ;  with  the  voice  together 
shall  they  sing:  for  they  shall  see 
eye  to  eye,  when  the  Lord  shall 
bring  again  Zion. 

9  Break  forth  into  joy,  sing  to- 
gether, ye  waste  places  of  Jeru- 
salem: for  the  Lord  hath  com- 
forted his  people,  he  hath  re- 
deemed Jerusalem. 

10  The  Lord  hath  made  bare 
his  holy  arm  ui  the  eyes  of  all  the 
nations;  and  all  the  ends  of  the 
earth  shall  see  the  salvation  of 
our  God. 

13  Behold,  my  servant  shall 
deal  pi-udently,  he  shall  be  ex- 
alted and  extolled,  and  be  ver>- 
high.  . 

u  As  many  were  astonied  at 
thee;  his  visage  was  so  marred 
more  than  any  man,  and  his  form 
more  than  the  sons  of  men : 

15  So  shall  he  sprinkle  many 
nations ;  the  kings  shall  shut  their 
mouths  at  him:  for  that  which 
had  not  been  told  them  shall  they 
see;  and  that  which  they  had  not 
heard  shall  they  consider. 

Is.  53—1  Who  hath  believed  our 
report?  and  to  whom  is  the  arm 
of  the  Lord  revealed? 

2  For  he  shall  grow  up  before 
him  as  a  tender  plant,  and  as  a 
root  out  of  a  dry  ground :  he  hath 
no  form  nor  comhness;  and  when 
we  shall  see  him,  there  is  no 
beauty  that  we  should  desire  him. 

3  He  is  despised  and  rejected  of 
men;  a  man  of  sorrows,  and  ac- 
quainted with  grief:  and  we  hid 
as  it  were  ovir  faces  from  him ;  he 
was  despised,  and  we  esteemed 
him  not. 

4  Surely  he  hath  home  our 
griefs,  and  carried  our  son-ows: 
yet  we  did  esteem  him  stricken, 
smitten  of  God,  and  afflicted. 

5  But  he  was  wounded  for  our 
transgressions,  he  was  bmised  for 
our  iniquities:  the  chastisement 
of  our  peace  was  upon  him ;  and 
with  his  stripes  we  are  healed. 

6  All  we  like  sheep  have  gone 
astray ;  we  have  turned  every  one 


473 


to  his  own  way;  and  the  Lord 
hath  laid  on  hini  the  iniquity  of 
us  all. 

7  He  was  oppressed,  and  he  was 
afflicted,  yet  he  opened  not  his 
mouth:  he  is  hrought  as  a  lamb 
to  the  slaughter,  and  as  a  sheep 
before  her  shearers  is  dumb,  so  he 
openeth  not  his  mouth. 

8  He  was  taken  from  prison  and 
from  judgment :  and  who  shall  de- 
clare his  generation?  for  he  was 
cut  ofT  out  of  the  land  of  the 
living:  for  the  transgression  of 
my  people  was  he  striclcen, 

9  And  he  made  his  grave  with 
the  wicked,  and  with  the  rich  in 
his  death ;  because  he  had  done 
no  violence,  neither  was  any  de- 
ceit in  liis  mouth. 

10  Yet  it  pleased  the  Lord  to 
biaiise  him ;  he  hath  put  him  to 
grief:  when  thou  shalt  make  his 
soul  an  offering  for  sin,  he  shall 
see  his  seed,  he  sliall  prolong  his 
days,  and  the  pleasure  of  the 
Lord  shall  prosper  in  his  hand. 

11  He  .shall  see  of  the  travail  of 
his  soul,  and  shall  be  satisfied :  by 
his  knowledge  shall  my  righteous 
servant  justify  many ;  for  he  shall 
bear  their  iniquities. 

12  Therefore  will  1  divide  him  a 
portion  with  the  great,  and  he 
shall  divide  the  spoil  witli  the 
strong ;  because  he  hath  poured  out 
his  soul  unto  death:  and  he  was 
numbered  with  the  transgressors; 
and  he  bare  the  sin  of  many,  and 
made  intercession  for  tlie  trans- 
gressors. 

Is.  55—1  Ho,  every  one  that  thirst- 
eth,  come  ye  to  the  waters,  and  he 
that  hath  no  money;  come  ye, 
buy,  and  eat ;  yea,  come,  buy  wine 
and  milk  without  money  and 
without  price. 

2  Wherefore  do  ye  spend  money 
for  that  which  is  not  bread?  and 
your  labour  for  that  which  satisti- 
eth  not?  hearken  diligently  unto 
me,  and  eat  ye  that  which  is  good, 
and  let  your  soul  delight  itself  in 
fatness. 

3  Incline  your  ear,  and  come  un- 
to me:  hear,  and  your  soul  shall 
live;  and  I  will  make  an  ever- 
lasting covenant  with  you,  even 
the  sure  mercies  of  David. 

"1  Behold,  I  have  given  him  for  a 
witness  to  the  people,  a  leader  and 
commander  to  the  people. 

5  Behold,  thou  shalt  call  a  na- 
tion that  thou  knowest  not,  and 
nations  that  knew  not  thee  shall 


run  unto  thee,  because  of  the  Lord 
thy  God,  and  for  the  Holy  One 
of  Israel;  for  he  hath  glorified 
thee. 

Is.  59—20  And  the  Redeemer  shall 
come  to  Zion,  and  unto  them  that 
turn  from  transgression  in  Jacob, 
saith  the  Lord. 

21  This  is  my  covenant  with 
them,  saith  the  Lord;  My  Spirit 
that  is  upon  thee,  and  my  words 
which  I  have  put  in  thy  mouth, 
shall  not  depart  out  of  thy  mouth, 
nor  out  of  the  mouth  of  thy  seed, 
nor  out  of  the  mouth  of  thy  seed's 
seed,  saith  the  Lord,  from  hence- 
forth and  for  ever.    p.  102. 

Is.  Gl— 1  The  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
God  is  vipon  me;  because  the 
Lord  hath  anointed  me  to  preach 
good  tidings  unto  the  meek :  he 
hath  sent  me  to  bind  up  the  brok- 
en-hearted, to  proclaim  liberty  to 
the  captives,  and  the  opening  of 
the  prison  to  them  that  are  bound. 
Lu.  4. 18,  p.  506. 

2  To  proclaim  the  acceptable 
year  of  the  Lord,  and  the  day  of 
vengeance  of  our  God;  to  com- 
fort all  that  mourn; 

3  To  appoint  unto  them  that 
mourn  in  Zion,  to  give  unto  them 
beauty  for  ashes,  the  oil  of  joy  for 
mourningj  the  garment  of  praise 
for  the  spirit  of  heaviness;  that 
they  might  be  called  Trees  of 
righteousness.  The  planting  of 
the  Lord,  that  he  might  be  glori- 
fied. 

i  And  they  shall  build  the  old 
wastes,  they  shall  raise  up  the 
former  desolations,  and  they  shall 
repair  the  waste  cities,  the  desola- 
tions of  many  generations. 

5  And  strangers  sliall  stand  and 
feed  your  flocks,  and  the  sons  of 
the  alien  shall  be  your  plough- 
men and  your  vinedressers. 

6  But  ye  shall  be  named  the' 
Priests  of  the  Lord:  men  shall 
call  you  the  Ministers  of  our  God: 
ye  shall  eat  the  riches  of  the  Gen- 
tiles, and  in  their  glory  shall  ye 
boast  yourselves. 

7  For  your  shame  ye  shall  have 
double;  and  for  confusion  they 
shall  rejoice  in  their  portion: 
therefore  in  their  land  they  shall 
possess  the  double:  everlasting 
joy  shall  be  unto  them. 

8  For  I  the  Lord  love  judgment, 
I  hate  robbery  for  burnt  offering; 
and  I  will  direct  their  work  in 
truth,  and  1  will  make  an  ever- 
lasting covenant  with  them.

9  And  their  seed  shall  be  known 
among  the  Gentiles,  and  their  off- 
spring among  the  people:  all  that 
see  them  shall  acknowledge  them, 
that  they  are  the  seed  which  the 
Lord  hath  blessed. 

Is.  62—1  For  Ziou's  sake  will  I  not 
hold  my  peace,  and  for  Jerusa- 
lem's sake  I  will  not  rest,  until  the 
righteousness  thereof  go  forth  as 
brightness,  and  the  salvation 
thereof  as  a  lamp  that  burneth. 

2  And  the  Gentiles  shall  see  thy 
righteousness,  and  all  kings  thy 
glory:  and  thou  shalt  be  called  by 
a  new  name,  which  the  mouth  of 
the  Lord  shall  name. 

3  Thou  Shalt  also  be  a  crown  of 
glory  in  the  hand  of  the  Lord, 
and  a  royal  diadem  in  the  hand  of 
thy  God. 

4  Thou  shalt  no  more  be  termed 
Forsaken;  neither  shall  thy  land 
•any  more  be  termed  Desolate: 
but  thou  shalt  be  called  Hephzi- 
bah,  and  thy  land  Beulah:  for  the 
Lord  delighteth  in  thee. 

10  Go  through,  go  through  the 
gates;  prepare  ye  the  way  of  the 
people ;  cast  up,  cast  up  the  high- 
way: gather  out  the  stones;  lift 
up  a  standard  for  the  people. 

11  Behold,  the  Lord  hath  pro- 
claimed unto  the  end  of  the  world, 
Sav  ye  to  the  daughter  of  Zion, 
Beliold,  thy  salvation  cometh; 
behold,  his  reward  is  with  him, 
and  his  work  before  him. 

12  And  they  shall  call  them.  The 
holy  people.  The  redeemed  of  tlie 
Lord:  and  thou  shalt  be  called, 
ijought  out,  A  city  not  forsaken. 

Is.63— 1  Who  is  this  tbat  cometh 
from  Edom,  with  dyed  garments 
from  Bozrah  ?  this  that  is  glorious 
in  his  apparel,  travelling  in  the 
greatness  of  his  strength  ?  I  that 
speak  in  righteousness,  mighty  to 
save. 

2  Wherefore  art  thou  red  in  thine 
apparel,  and  thy  garments  like 
Iiim  that  treadeth  in  the  wine- 
fat? 

3  1  have  trodden  the  winepress 
alone ;  and  of  the  people  there  was 
none  with  me:  for  1  will  tread 
them  in  mine  anger,  and  trample 
them  in  my  fury;  and  tlieir blood 
shall  be  sprinkled  upon  my  gar- 
ments, and  I  will  stain  all  my  rai- 
ment. 

4  For  the  day  of  vengeance  is  in 
mine  heart,  and  the  yearof  my  re- 
deemed is  come. 


5  And  I  looked,  and  there  was 
none  to  help;  and  I  wondered  that 
there  was  none  to  behold:  there- 
fore mine  own  arm  bi'ought  salva- 
tion unto  me ;  and  my  fury,  it  up- 
held me. 

6  And  I  will  tread  down  the  peo- 
ple in  mine  anger,  and  make  them 
drmik  in  my  fury,  and  I  will  bring 
down  their  strength  to  the  earth. 

Je.  16—14  Behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  it  shall  no 
more  be  said.  The  Lord  liveth. 
tbat  brought  up  the  children  of 
Israel  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt ; 

1.5  But,  The  Lord  liveth.  that 
brought  up  the  children  of  Israel 
from  the  land  of  the  north,  and 
from  all  the  lands  whither  he  had 
driven  them:  and  I  will  bring 
them  again  into  their  land  that  I 
gave  unto  their  fathers. 

Je  23—5  Behold,  the  days  come, 
.saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  raise 
unto  David  a  righteous  Branch, 
and  a  King  shall  reign  and  pros- 
per, and  shall  execute  judgment 
and  justice  in  the  earth. 

6  In  his  days  Judah  shall  be 
saved,  and  Israel  shall  dwell  safe- 
ly: and  this  is  his  name  whereby 
he  shall  be  called,  THE  LORD 
OUR  RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

7  Therefore,  behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  they 
shall  no  more  say.  The  Lord  liv- 
eth, which  brought  up  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt ; 

8  But,  The  Lord  liveth,  which 
brought  up  and  which  led  the  .seed 
of  the  house  of  Lsrael  out  of  the 
north  country,  and  from  all  coun- 
tries whither  I  had  driven  them ; 
and  they  .shall  dwell  in  their  own 
land.    p.  272. 

Je.  24—5  Thus  saith  the  Lord, 
the  God  of  Lsrael;  Like  these 
good  tigs,  so  will  I  acknowledge 
them  that  are  carried  away  cap- 
tive of  Judah,  whom  I  have  sent 
out  of  this  place  into  the  land  of 
the  Chaldeans  for  their  good. 

6  For  I  will  set  mine  eyes  upon 
them  for  good,  and  I  will  bring 
them  again  to  this  land :  and  I  will 
bviild  them,  and  not  pull  them 
down ;  and  I  will  plant  them,  and 
not  pluck  them  up. 

7  And  I  will  give  them  a  heart  to 
know  me,  that  I  am  the  LopD ;  and 
they  shall  be  my  people,  and  I  will 
be  their  God :  for  they  shall  return 
unto  me  with  their  whole  heart.

Je.  29—10  Thus  saitli  the  Lord, 
That  after  seventy  years  be  _ac- 
compli£hed  at  Babylon  1  will  visit 
you,  and  perform  my  good  word 
toward  vou,  in  causing  you  to  re- 
turn to  this  place.    Je.  25.  11,  p. 

465 

li  For  1  know  the  thoughts  that 
I  think  toward  you,  saith  the 
Lord,  thoughts  of  peace,  and  not 
of  evil,  to  give  you  an  expected 

^"l2"Then  shall  ye  call  upon  me, 
and  ye  shall  go  and  pray  unto  me, 
and  1  will  hearken  unto  you. 

13  And  ye  shall  seek  me,  and 
find  me,  when  ye  shall  search  tor 
me  with  all  your  heart. 

14  And  I  will  be  found  of  you. 
saith  the  Lord  :  and  L  will  turn 
away  your  captivity,  and  1  wiu 
gather  you  from  all  the  nations, 
uud  from  all  the  places  whither  1 
have  driven  you,  saith  the  Lord; 
and  I  will  bring  you  again  into 
the  place  whence  I  caused  you  to 
be  carried  away  captive. 

Je  30-1  The  word  that  came  to 
Jeremiah  from  the  Lord,  saying, 

2  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  (jocI 
of  Israel,  saying,  Write  thee  all 
the  words  that  I  have  spoken 
unto  thee  in  a  book. 

3  For,  lo,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  I  will  bring  again 
the  captivity  of  my  people  Israel 
and  Judah,  saith  the  Lord:  and 
I  vrill  cause  them  to  return  to  the 
land  that  1  gave  to  their  fathers, 
and  they  shall  possess  it. 

q  Thev  shall   serve   the  Lord 
their  Go"d,  and  David  their  king,  i 
-whom  1  will  raise  up  unto  them. 

10  Therefore  fear  thou  not,  O 
my  servant  Jacob,  saith  the  Lord  ; 
neither  be  dismayed,  O  Israel :  for, 
lo,  I  will  save  thee  from  afar,  and 
thy  seed  from  the  land  of  their 
captivity ;  and  Jacob  shall  return, 
and  shall  be  in  rest,  and  be  quiet, 
and  none  shall  make  him  atraid. 

11  For  I  am  with  thee,  saith  the 
Lord,  to  save  thee:  though  I 
make  a  full  end  of  all  nations 
whither  I  have  scattered  thee, 
yet  will  I  not  make  a  full  end  ot 
thee;  but  I  will  correct  thee  m 
measure,  and  will  not  leave  thee 
altogether  unpunished. 

16  Therefore  all  they  that  de- 
vour thee  shall  be  devoured ;  and 
all  thine  adversaries,  every  one  ot 
them,  shall  go  into  captivity ;  and 
they  that  spoil  thee   shall  be  a 


spoil,  and  all  that  prey  upon  thee 
will  I  give  for  a  prey. 

17  For  I  will  restore  health  unto 
thee,  and  I  will  heal  thee  of  thy 
wounds,  saith  the  Lord  ;  because 
they  called  thee  an  Outcast,  say- 
ing. This  is  Zion,  whom  no  man 
seeketh  after. 

18  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  Be- 
hold, I  Mall  bring  again  the  cap- 
tivity of  Jacob's  tents,  and  have 
mercy  on  his  dwelling-places ;  and 
the  city  shall  be  builded  upon  her 
own  heap,  and  the  palace  shall 
remain  alter  the  manner  thereot. 

19  And  out  of  them  shall  proceed 
thanksgiving  and  the  voice  ot 
them  that  make  merry:  and  I  will 
multiply  them,  and  they  shall  not 
be  few ;  I  will  also  glorify  them, 
and  they  shall  not  be  small. 

'50  Their  children  also  shall  be  as 
aforetime,  and  their  congregation 
shallbe  establishedbelore  me,and 
I  will  pmiish  allthat  oppress  them. 

21  And  their  nobles  shall  be  ot 
themselves,  and  their  governor 
shall  proceed  from  the  midst  ot 
them ;  and  I  will  cause  him  to 
draw  near,  and  he  shall  approach 
unto  me :  for  who  is  this  that  en- 
gaged his  heart  to  approach  unto 
me?  saith  the  Lord. 

22  And  ye  shall  be  my  people, 
and  I  will  be  your  God., 

Je.  31—1  At  the  same  time,  saith 
the  Lord,  will  I  be  the  God  of  all 
the  families  of  Israel,  and  they 
shall  be  my  people. 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  The  peo- 
ple which  were  left  of  the  sword 
found  grace  in  the  wilderness; 
even  Israel,  when  I  went  to  cause 
him  to  rest. 

I  3  The  Lord  hath  appeared  of 
old  unto  me,  saying.  Yea,  I  have 
loved  thee  with  an  everlasting 
love:  therefore  with  loving  kind- 
ness have  I  drawn  thee. 

4  Again  I  will  build  thee,  and 
thou  shalW  he  built,  O  virgin  of 
Israel:  thou  shalt  again  be 
adorned  with  thy  tabrets,  and 
Shalt  go  forth  in  the  dances  ot 
them  that  make  merry.     . 

5  Thou  shalt  yet  plant  vines  up- 
on the  mountains  of  Samaria:  the 
planters  shall  plant,  and  shall  eat 
them  as  common  things. 

6  For  there  shall  be  a  day,  tuat 
the  watchman  upon  the  momit 
Ephraim  shall  cry.  Arise  ye,  and 
let  us  go  up    to  Zion  unto  the 

1  Lord  our  God. 


476 


7  For  thus  saitli  the  Lord  ;  Slug 
with  gladness  for  Jacob,  and 
shout  among  the  chief  of  the  na- 
tions: publish  ye,  praise  ye,  and 
say,  O  Lord,  save  thy  people,  the 
remnant  of  Israel. 

8  Behold,  I  will  bring  them  from 
the  north  country,  and  gather 
them  from  the  coasts  of  the  earth, 
and  with  them  the  blind  and  the 
lame,  the  woman  with  child  and 
her  that  travaileth  with  child  to- 
gether: a  great  company  shall  re- 
turn thither. 

9  They  shall  come  with  weeping, 
and  with  supplications  will  I  lead 
tliem:  1  will  cause  them  to  walk 
by  the  rivers  of  waters  in  a 
straight  way,  wherein  thev  shall 
not  stumble:  for  I  am  a  father  to 
Israel,  and  Eplu-aim  is  my  first- 
born. 

10  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
O  ye  nations,  and  declare  it  in  the 
isles  afar  olif,  and  say.  He  that 
scattered  Israel  will  gather  him, 
and  keep  him,  as  a  shepherd  doth 
his  flock. 

11  For  the  Lord  hath  redeemed 
Jacob,  and  ransomed  him  from 
the  hand  of  him  that  was  stronger 
than  he. 

12  Therefore  they  shall  come 
andsingin  the  height  of  Zion.and 
shall  flow  together  to  the  good- 
ness of  the  Lord,  for  wheat,  and 
for  wine,  and  for  oil,  and  for  the 
young  of  the  flock  and  of  the 
herd :  and  their  soul  shall  be  as  a 
watered  garden ;  and  they  shall 
not  sorrow  any  more  at  all. 

13  Then  shall  the  virgin  rejoice 
in  the  dance,  both  young  men  and 
old  together:  for  I  will  turn  their 
mourning  into  joy. 

14  And  1  will  satiate  the  soul  of 
the  priests  with  fatness,  and  my 
people  shall  be  satisfied  with  mv 
goodness,  saith  the  Lord. 

15  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  A 
voice  was  heard  in  Ramah,  lam- 
entation, and  bitter  weepmg;  Ra- 
chel weeping  for  her  children  re- 
fused to  be  comforted  for  her  chil- 
dren, because  they  were  not. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Refrain 
thy  voice  from  weeping,  and  thine 
eyes  from  tears:  for  thy  work 
shall  be  rewarded,  saiththeLoRD ; 
and  they  shall  come  again  from 
the  land  of  the  enemy,    p.  20:3. 

17  And  there  is  hope  in  thine 
end,  saith  the  Lord,  that  thv 
children  shall  come  again  to  their 
own  border. 


22  How  long  wilt  thou  go  about, 
O  thou  backsliding  daughter?  for 
the  Lord  hath  created  a  new 
thing  in  the  earth.  A  woman  shall 
compass  a  man. 

23  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
the  God  of  Israel;  As  yet  they 
shall  use  this  speech  m  the  land 
of  Judah  and  in  the  cities  thereof, 
when  I  shall  bring  again  their 
captivity;  The  Lord  bless  thee. 
O  habitation  of  justice,  and 
mountain  of  holiness. 

24  And  there  shall  dwell  in  Ju- 
dah itself,  and  in  all  the  cities 
thereof  together,  husbandmen, 
and  they  that  go  forth  with  flocks. 

27  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  I  will  sow  the 
house  of  Israel  and  the  house  of 
Judah  with  the  seed  of  man.  and 
with  the  seed  of  beast. 

28  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
like  as  I  have  watched  over  them, 
to  pluck  up,  and  to  break  down, 
and  to  throw  down,  and  to  destroy, 
and  to  afflict ;  so  will  I  watch  over 
them,  to  build,  and  to  plant,  saith 
the  Lord. 

29  In  those  days  they  shall  say 
no  more.  The  fathers  have  eaten 
a  sour  grape,  and  the  children's 
teeth  are  set  on  edge. 

30  But  every  one  shall  die  for 
his  own  iniquity:  every  man  that 
eateth  the  soui-  grape,  his  teeth 
shall  be  set  on  edge. 

31  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  I  will  make  a  new 
covenant  with  the  house  of  Israel, 
and  with  the  house  of  Judah: 

32  Not  accordmg  to  the  cove- 
nant that  I  made  with  their  fath- 
ers, in  the  day  that  I  took  them 
by  the  hand  to  bring  them  out  of 
the  land  of  Egypt ;  which  mv  cov- 
enant they  brake,  although  I  was 
a  husband  unto  them,  saith  the 
Lord  : 

33  But  this  shall  be  the  covenant 
that  I  will  make  with  the  house  of 
Israel ;  After  those  days,  saith  the 
Lord.  I  will  put  my  law  in  their 
inward  parts,  and  write  it  in  their 
hearts ;  and  will  be  their  God,  and 
they  shall  be  my  people. 

.34  And  they  shall  teach  no  more 
every  man  his  neighbour,  and 
every  man  his  brother,  saving. 
Know  the  Lord:  for  they  shall  all 
know  me.  from  the  least  of  them 
unto  the  greatest  of  them,  saith 
the  Lord:  for  I  will  forgive  their 
iniquity,  and  I  will  remember 
their  sin  no  more. 


Je.  33—7  And  I  will  cause  the 
captivity  of  Judah  aud  tlie  cap- 
tivity oi  Israel  to  return,  aud  will 
build  them,  as  at  the  first. 

8  And  I  will  cleanse  them  from 
all  their  iniquity,  whereby  they 
have  sinned  against  me ;  and  I 
will  pardon  all  their  iniquities, 
whereby  they  have  sinned,  and 
whereby  they  have  transgressed 
against  me. 

9  And  it  shall  be  to  me  a  name 
of  joy,  a  praise  and  an  honour  be- 
fore all  tue  nations  of  the  earth, 
which  shall  hear  all  the  good  that 
I  do  unto  them:  and  they  shall 
fear  and  tremble  for  all  the  good- 
ness and  for  all  the  prosperity 
that  I  procure  unto  it. 

10  Tlius  saith  the  Lord  ;  Again 
there  shall  be  heard  in  this  place, 
whicli  ye  say  shall  be  desolate 
without  man  and  without  beast, 
even  in  the  cities  of  Judah,  and  in 
the  streets  of  Jerusalem,  that  are 
de.solate,  without  man,  and  with- 
outinhaDitant,and  without  beast, 

11  The  voice  of  joy,  and  the 
voice  of  gladness,  the  voice  of  the 
bridegroom,  and  the  voice  of  the 
bride,  the  voice  of  them  that 
.shall  say.  Praise  the  Lord  of  hosts: 
for  the  Lord  is  good;  for  his 
mercy  endureth  forever:  and  of 
them  tliat  shall  bring  the  sacri- 
fice of  praise  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord.  For  I  will  cause  to  return 
the  captivity  of  the  land,  as  at 
the  first,  saith  the  Lord. 

12  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
Agam  in  this  place,  which  is  deso- 
late without  man  and  without 
beast,  and  in  all  the  cities  thereof, 
shall  be  a  habitation  of  shepherds 
causing  their  Hocks  to  lie  down. 

13  In  the  cities  of  the  mountains, 
in  the  cities  of  the  vale,  and  in  the 
cities  of  the  south,  and  in  the  land 
of  Benjamin,  and  in  the  places 
about  Jerusalem,  and  in  the  cities 
of  Judah,  shall  the  liocks  pass 
again  imder  the  hands  of  him  that 
telleth  them,  saith  the  Lord. 

14  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  that  I  will  perform  that 
good  thing  which  I  have  promised 
unto  the  house  of  Israel  aud  to 
the  house  of  Judah. 

15  In  those  days,  and  at  that 
time,  will  I  cause  the  Branch  of 
righteousness  to  grow  up  unto 
David ;  and  he  shall  execute  judg- 
ment and  righteousness  in  the 
laud. 


IG  In  those  days  shall  Judah  be 
saved,  and  Jerusalem  shall  dwell 
safely:  aud  this  is  the  name 
wherewith  .she  shall  be  called. 
The  Lord  our  Righteousness. 

17  For  thus  saith  the  Lord; 
David  shall  never  want  a  man  to 
sit  upon  the  throne  of  the  house  of 
Israel ; 

18  Neither  shall  the  priests  the 
Levites  want  a  man  before  me  to 
offer  Imrnt  offerings,  and  to  kindle 
meat  offerings,  and  to  do  sacrifice 
continually. 

19  And  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  Jeremiah,  saying, 

20  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  If  ye 
can  break  my  covenant  of  the  day, 
and  my  covenant  of  the  night,  and 
that  there  should  not  be  day  and 
night  in  their  season : 

21  Tiien  may  also  my  covenant 
be  broken  with  David  my  servant, 
that  he  should  not  have  a  son  to 
reign  upon  his  throne ;  and  with 
the  Levites  the  priests,  my  minis- 
ters. 

22  As  the  host  of  heaven  cannot 
lie  numbered,  neither  the  sand  of 
the  sea  measured -so  will  I  multi- 
ply the  seed  of  David  my  serv- 
ant, and  the  Levites  that  minister 
unto  me. 

Je.  46—27  But  fear  not  tliou,  O 
my  servant  Jacob,  and  be  not  dis- 
mayed, O  Israel:  for,  behold,  I 
will  save  thee  from  afar  off,  and 
thy  seed  from  the  land  of  their 
captivity;  and  Jacob  shall  return, 
and  be  m  rest  and  at  ease,  aud 
none  shall  make  him  afraid. 

28  Fear  thou  not,  O  Jacob  my 
.servant,  saith  the  Lord:  for  I  am 
with  thee;  for  I  will  make  a  full 
end  of  all  the  nations  whither  I 
have  driven  thee:  but  I  will  not 
make  a  full  end  of  thee,  but  cor- 
rect thee  in  measure:  yet  will  I 
not  leave  thee  wholly  unpun- 
ished. 

Eze.  11—16  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  Although  I  have  cast  them 
far  off  among  the  heathen,  and 
although  I  have  scattered  them 
among  the  countries,  yet  will  I 
be  to  them  as  a  little  sanctuary 
in  the  countries  where  they  shall 
come. 

17  Therefoie  say.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  ,  I  will  even  gather  you 
from  the  people,  and  assemble 
you  out  of  the  countries  where  ye 
have  been  scattered,  and  I  will 
give  you  the  laud  of  Israel. 


478 


18  And  they  shall  come  thither, 
and  they  shall  take  away  all  the 
detestable  things  thereof  and  all 
the  abominations  thereof  from 
thence. 

19  And  I  will  give  them  one 
heart,  and  1  will  put  a  new  spirit 
within  you:  and  I  will  take  the 
stony  heart  out  of  their  flesh,  and 
will  give  them  a  heart  of  flesh : 

20  That  they  may  walk  in  my 
statutes,  and  keep  mine  ordi- 
nances, and  do  them:  and  they 
shall  be  my  people,  and  I  will  be 
theii-  God. 

Reproof  of  the  shepherds  (the 
priests  of  Israel,  the  Jewish 
priests)  for  letting  the  flock  (the 
people)  go  astray.  The  new  shep- 
herd, David,  riant  of  renown, 
—  names  attributed  to  Christ. 

Eze.  34—2  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  imto  the  shepherds:  Woe  be 
to  the  shepherds  of  Israel  that  do 
feed  themselves!  should  not  the 
shepherds  feed  the  flocks? 

3  Ye  eat  the  fat,  and  ye  clothe 
you  with  the  wool,  ye  kill  them 
that  are  fed:  but  ye  feed  not  the 
flock. 

6  My  sheep  wandered  through 
all  the  mountains,  and  upon  every 
high  hill:  yea,  my  flock  was  scat- 
tered upon  all  the  face  of  the 
earth,  and  none  did  search  or  seek 
after  them. 

9  Therefore,  O  ye  shepherds, 
hear  the  word  of  the  Lokd; 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Be- 
hold, I  am  against  the  shepherds; 
and  I  will  require  my  flock  at  their 
hand,  and  cause  them  to  cease 
from  feeding  the  flock;  neither 
shall  the  shepherds  feed  them- 
selves any  more :  for  I  will  deliver 
my  flock  from  their  mouth,  that 
they  may  not  be  meat  for  them. 

12  As  a  shepherd  seeketh  out 
his  flock  in  the  day  that  he  is 
among  his  sheep  that  are  scatter- 
ed :  so  will  I  seek  out  my  sheep, 
and  will  deliver  them  oiit  of  all 
places  where  they  have  been  scat- 
tered in  the  cloudy  and  dark  day. 

13  And  I  will  bring  them  out 
from  the  people,  and  gather  them 
from  the  countries,  and  will  bring 
them  to  theii'  own  land,  and  feed 
them  upon  the  mountains  of  Israel 
by  the  rivers,  and  in  all  the  inhab- 
ited places  of  the  country. 


14  I  will  feed  them  in  a  good 
pasture,  and  upon  the  high  mount- 
ains of  Israel  shall  their  fold  be: 
there  shall  they  lie  in  a  good  fold, 
and  in  a  fat  pasture  shall  they  feed 
upon  the  mountains  of  Israel. 

15 1  will  feed  my  flock,  and  I  will 
cause  them  to  lie  down,  saith  the 
Lord  God. 

23  And  I  will  set  up  one  Shep- 
herd over  them,  and  he  shall  feed 
them,  even  my  servant  David ;  he 
shall  feed  them,  and  he  shall  be 
theu"  shepherd. 

24  And  I  the  Lord  will  be  their 
God,  and  my  servant  David  a 
prince  among  them;  I  the  Lord 
have  spoken  it. 

25  And  I  will  make  with  them  a 
covenant  of  peace,  and  will  cause 
the  evil  beasts  to  cease  out  of  the 
land:  and  they  shall  dwell  safely 
in  the  wilderness,  and  sleep  in  the 
woods. 

26  And  I  will  make  them  and 
the  places  round  about  my  hill 
a  blessing;  and  I  will  cause  the 
shower  to  come  down  in  his  sea- 
son; there  shall  be  showers  of 
blessing. 

27  And  the  tree  of  the  field  shall 
yield  her  fruit,  and  the  earth  shall 
yield  her  increase,  and  thev  shall 
be  safe  in  then-  land,  and  shall 
know  that  1  am  the  Lord,  when 
I  have  broken  the  bands  of  their 
yoke,  and  delivered  them  out  of 
the  hand  of  those  that  served 
themselves  of  them. 

28  And  they  shall  no  more  be  a 
prey  to  the  heathen,  neither  shall 
the  beast  of  the  land  devour  them ; 
but  they  shall  dwell  safely,  and 
none  shall  make  them  afraid. 

29  And  I  will  raise  up  for  them 
a  plant  of  renown,  and  they  shall 
be  no  more  consumed  with  hun- 
ger in  the  land,  neither  bear  the 
shame  of  the  heathen  any  more. 

30  Thus  shall  they  know  that  I 
the  Lord  am  with  them,  and  that 
they,  even  the  house  of  Isi-ael,  are 
my  people,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

31  And  ye  my  flock,  the  flock  of 
my  pasture,  are  men,  and  I  am 
your  God,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

Eze.  36—24 1  will  take  you  from 
among  the  heathen,  and  gather 
you  out  of  all  countries,  and  will 
bring  you  into  your  own  land. 

25  IT  Then  will  I  sprinkle  clean 
water  upon  you,  and  ye  shall  be 
clean:  from  all  your  tilthiness, 
and  from  all  your  idols.

26  A  new  heart  also  will  I  give 
yqii,  and  a  new  spirit  will  I  put 
within  you:  and  I  will  take  away 
the  stony  heart  out  of  your  flesh, 
and  1  will  give  you  a  heart  of 
nesh. 

27  And  I  will  put  my  Spirit 
within  you,  and  cause  yoix  to 
walk  m  my  statutes,  and  ye  shall 
keep  my  judgments,  and  do  them. 

28  And  ye  shall  dwell  in  tlie 
land  that  I  gave  to  your  fathers: 
and  ye  shall  be  my  people,  and  I 
will  be  your  (4od. 

Eze.  37—21  Thus'Saith  the  Lord, 
Beliold,  1  will  take  the  children 
ol  Israel  from  among  the  heathen, 
whither  they  be  gone,  and  will 
gather  them  on  every  side,  and 
bring  them  into  their  own  laud : 

22  And  I  will  make  them  one 
nation  in  the  land  upon  the  moun- 
tains of  Israel ;  and  one  king  shall 
be  king  to  them  all:  and  they 
shall  be  no  more  two  nations,  nei- 
ther shall  they  be  divided  into  two 
kmgdoms  any  more  at  all. 

24  And  David  my  servant  shall 
he  kmg  over  them  ;  and  they  all 
sliall  have  one  shepherd:  they 
shall  also  walk  in  my  judgments, 
a^nd  observe  my  statutes,  and  do 
them. 

25  And  they  shall  dwell  in  the 
land  that  I  have  given  unto  Jacob 
my  servant,  wherein  your  fathers 
have  dwelt;  and  they  shall  dwell 
therein,  even  they,  and  their  chil- 
dren, and  theirchildren's  children 
ior  ever:  and  my  servant  David 
shall  be  their  prince  for  ever. 

26  Moreover  I  will  make  a  cove- 
nant of  peace  with  them ;  it  shall 
be  an  everlasting  covenant  with 
them :  and  I  will  place  them,  and 
multiply  them,  and  will  set  my 
sanctuary  in  the  midst  of  them 
tor  evermore. 

27  My  tabernacle  also  shall  be 
with  them:  yea,  I  will  be  their 
CTod,  and  they  shall  be  my  people. 

28  And  the  heathen  shall  know 
that  I  the  Lord  do  sanctify  Israel 
when  my  sanctuary  shall  be  in  the 
midst  of  them  for  evermore.  See 
Eze.  37. 1-14,  p.  440. 

Eze.  39-23  And  the  heathen 
shall  know  that  the  house  of  Israel 
went  mto  captivity  for  their  in- 
iquity: because  they  trespassed 
against  me,  therefore  hid  I  my 
tace  from  them,  and  gave  theni 
into  the  hand  of  their  enemies: 
so  fell  they  all  by  the  sword. 


24  According  to  their  uncleaii- 
nessand  according  to  their  trAn.s- 
gressioiis  have  I  done  unto  them, 
and  hid  my  face  from  them. 

2.5  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 

(jod:  Now  will  I  bring  again  the 

captivity    of    Jacob,    and    have 

mercy  upon  the  whole  house  of 

and  will  be  jealous  for  my

holy  name; 

20  After  that  they  have  borne 
their  shame,  and  all  their  tres- 
passes whereby  they  have  tre.s- 
pas.sed  against  me,  when  thev 
dwelt  safely  in  their  land,  and 
none  made  them  afraid. 

27  When  I  have  brought  them 
again  from  the  people,  and  gath- 
ered them  out  of  their  enemies' 
lands,  and  am  sanctified  in  them 
m  the  sight  of  many  nations; 

28  Then  shall  they  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord  their  God,  which 
caused  them  to  be  led  into  captiv- 
ity among  the  heathen:  but  I 
have  gathered  them  unto  their 
own  land,  and  have  left  none  of 
them  any  more  there. 

29  Neither  will  I  hide  my  face 
any  more  from  them :  for  I  have 
poured  out  my  Spirit  upon  the 
house  of  Israel,  saith  the  Lord 
God.    See  Eze.  39,  p.  436.

come.  Christ  claimed  that  he  was 
Messiah.    See  Juo.  4.  25,  26,  p.  456. 

.Da.  9—1  In  the  first  year  of  Da- 
rius the  son  of  Ahasuerus,  of  the 
seed  of  the  Medes,  which  was 
made  king  over  the  realm  of  the 
Chaldeans: 

2  In  the  first  year  of  his  reign,  I 
Daniel  understood  by  books  the 
number  of  the  years,  whereof  the 
word  of  the  Lord  came  to  Jere- 
miah the  prophet,  that  he  would 
accomplish  seventy  years  in  the 
desolations  of  Jerusalem. 

3  And  1  set  my  face  unto  the 
Lord  God,  to  seek  by  prayer  and 
supplications,  with  fasting,  and 
sackcloth,  and  ashes: 

16  O  Lord,  according  to  all  thy 
righteousness,  I  beseech  thee,  let 
thine  anger  and  thy  fury  be  turned 
away  from  thy  city  Jerusalem, 
thy  holy  mountain:  because  for 
our  sins,  and  for  the  iniquities  of 
our  fathers,  Jerusalem  and  thy 
people  are  become  a  reproach  to 
all  that  are  about  us. 


480 


17  Now  therefore,  O  our  God, 
hear  the  prayer  of  thy  servant, 
and  his  supplications,  and  cause 
tliy  face  to  shine  upon  tliy  sanc- 
tuary that  is  desolate. 

18  O  my  God,  inclhie  thine  ear, 
and  hear;  open  thine  eyes,  and 
hehold  our  desolations,  and  the 
city  which  is  called  by  thy  name: 
for  we  do  not  present  our  suppli- 
cations before  thee  for  our  right- 
eousnesses, but  for  thy  great 
mercies. 

19  O  Lord,  hear;  O  Lord,  for- 
give; O  Lord,  hearken  and  do; 
defer  not,  for  thine  own  sake,  O 
my  God:  for  thy  city  and  thy 
people  are  called  by  thy  name. 

20  And  while  I  was  speaking, 
and  praying,  and  confessing  my 
sin  and  the  sin  of  my  people  Is- 
rael, and  presenting  my  supplica- 
tion before  the  Lord  my  God  for 
the  holy  mountain  of  my  God ; 

21  Yea,  while  I  was  speaking  in 
prayer,  even  the  man  Gabriel, 
whom  I  had  seen  in  the  vision  at 
the  beginning,  being  caused  to 
fly  swiftly,  touched  me  about  the 
time  of  the  evening  oblation. 

22  And  he  informed  nie,  and 
talked  with  me,  and  said,  O  Dan- 
iel, I  am  now  come  forth  to  give 
thee  skill  and  understanding. 

23  At  the  beginning  of  thy  sup- 
plications the  commandment 
came  forth,  and  I  am  come  to 
shew  thee;  for  thou  art  greatly 
beloved :  therefore  understand  the 
matter,  and  consider  the  vision. 

24  Seventy  weeks  are  detennin- 
ed  upon  thy  people  and  upon  thy 
holy  city,  to  finish  the  transgres- 
sion, and  to  make  an  end  of  sms, 
and  to  make  reconciliation  for  in- 
iquity, and  to  bring  in  everlasting 
righteousness,  and  to  seal  up  the 
vision  and  prophecy,  and  to  anoint 
the  Most  Holy. 

25  Know  therefore  and  under- 
stand, that  from  the  going  forth 
of  the  commandment  to  restore 
and  to  build  Jerusalem,  unto  the 
Messiah  the  Prince,  shall  be  seven 
weeks,  and  threescore  and  two 
weeks:  the  street  shall  be  built 
again,  and  the  wall,  even  in 
troublous  times.  (See  rebuilding 
of  the  temple  and.  wall  of  Jerusa- 
lean,  Ezr.  1  and  .3.  8,  Hag.  l  and 
2.  and  Ne.  1-5,  and  12.) 

26  And  after  threescore  and  two 
weeks  shall  Messiah  be  cut  off, 
but  not  for  himself:  and  the  peo- 


ple of  the  prince  that  shall  come 
shall  destroy  the  city  and  the 
sanctuary;  and  the  end  thereof 
shall  be  with  a  flood,  and  unto 
the  end  of  the  war  desolations  are 
determined. 

27  And  he  shall  confirm  the  cov- 
enant with  many  for  one  week: 
and  in  the  midst  of  the  week  he 
shall  cause  the  sacrifice  and  the 
oblation  to  cease,  and  for  the  over- 
spreading of  abominations  he 
shall  make  it  desolate,  even  until 
the  consummation,  and  that  de- 
termined shall  be  poured  upon 
the  desolate. 

Ho.  1—10  Yet  the  nupiber  of  the 
children  of  Israel  shall  be  as  the 
sand  of  the  sea,  which  cannot  be 
measured  nor  numbered;  and  it 
shall  come  to  pass,  that  in  the 
place  where  it  was  said  unto 
them.  Ye  are  not  my  people,  there 
it  shall  be  said  unto  them.  Ye  are 
the  sons  of  the  living  God. 

11  Then  shall  the  children  of 
Judah  and  the  children  of  Israel 
be  gathered  together,  and  appoint 
themselves  one  head,  and  they 
shall  come  up  out  of  the  land:  for 
great  shall  be  the  dav  of  Jezreel. 

Ho.  3—4  For  the  children  of  Is- 
rael shall  abide  many  days  with- 
out a  king,  and  without  a  prince, 
and  without  a  sacrifice,  and  with- 
out an  image,  and  without  an 
ephod,  and  without  terapliim : 

5  Afterward  shall  the  children 
of  Israel  return,  and  seek  the 
L(JRD  their  God,  and  David  their 
king;  and  shall  fear  the  Lord 
and  his  goodness  in  the  latter 
days. 

Am.  9—11  In  that  day  will  I 
raise  up  the  tabernacle  of  David 
that  is  fallen,  and  close  up  the 
breaches  thereof ;  and  1  will  raise 
up  his  ruins,  and  I  will  build  it  as 
in  the  days  of  old. 

14  And  I  will  brmg  again  the 
captivity  of  my  people  of  Israel, 
and  they  shall  build  the  M'aste 
cities,  and  inhabit  them ;  and  they 
sliall  plant  vuieyards,  and  drink 
the  wme  thereof;  they  shall  also 
make  gardens,  and  eat  the  fruit 
of  them. 

15  And  I  will  plant  them  upon 
their  land,  and  they  shall  no  more 
be  pulled  up  out  of  their  land 
which  I  have  given  them,  saith 
the  Lord  thy  God.

Mi.  5—1  Now  gather  thyself  ui 
troops.  O  daughter  of  troops:  he 
hath  laid  siege  against  us:  they 
shall  smite  the  judge  of  Israel 
with  a  rod  upon  the  clieek. 

2  But  thou,  Beth-lehem  Eph- 
ratah.  though  thou  be  little  among 
the  thousands  of  Judah.yet  out  of 
thee  shall  he  come  forth  unto  me 
that  is  to  be  ruler  in  Israel ;  whose 
goings  forth  have  been  from  of  old, 
from  everlasting. 

3  Therefore  will  he  give  them 
up,  until  the  time  that  she  which 
travaileth  hath  brought  forth: 
then  the  remnant  of  his  brethren 
shall  return  unto  the  children  of 
Israel.  ,,  ,        ,  x     j 

4  And  he  shall  stand  and  feed 
in  the  strength  of  the  Lord,  in 
the  majesty  of  the  name  of  the 
Lord  his  God;  and  they  shall 
abide :  for  now  shall  he  be  great 
unto  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

5  And  this  man  shall  be  the 
peace,  when  the  Assyrian  shall 
come  into  our  land :  and  when  he 
shall  tread  in  our  palaces,  then 
shall  we  raise  against  him  seven 
shepherds,  and  eight  principal 
men.  ,     ,      , 

6  And  they  shall  waste  the  land 
of  Assyria  with  the  sword,  and  the 
land  of  Nimrod  in  the  entrances 
thereof:  thus  shall  he  deliver  us 
from  the  Assyrian,  when  he  com- 
eth  into  our  land,  and  when  he 
treadeth  within  our  borders. 

7  And  the  remnant  of  Jacob  shall 
be  in  the  midst  of  many  people  as 
a  dew  from  the  Lord,  as  the 
showers  upon  the  grass,  that  tar- 
rieth  not  for  man,  nor  waiteth  for 
the  sons  of  men.  ,    ,    ,, 

8  And  the  remnant  of  Jacob  shall 
he  among  the  Gentiles  in  the 
midst  of  many  people,  as  a  lion 
among  the  beasts  of  the  forest,  as 
a  young  lion  among  the  flocks  of 
sheep:  who,  if  he  go  through, 
both  treadeth  down,  and  teareth 
in  pieces,  and  none  can  deliver. 

9  Thine  hand  shall  be  lifted  up 
upon  thine  adversaries,  and  all 
thine  enemies  shall  be  cut  off. 

10  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I 
will  cut  off  thy  horses  out  of  the 
midst  of  thee,  and  I  will  destroy 
thy  chariots: 

11  And  I  will  cut  off  the  cities  of 
thy  land,  and  throw  down  all  thy 
strong  holds : 

12  And  I  will  cut  off  witchcrafts 


out  of  thine  hand ;  and  thoushalt 
have  no  more  soothsayers: 

13  Thy  graven  images  also  will  I 
cut  off,  and  thy  .standing  images; 
and  thou  shalt  no  more  worship 
the  work  of  thine  hands. 

14  And  I  will  pluck  up  thy 
groves  out  of  the  midst  of  thee :  so 
will  I  destroy  thy  cities. 

15  And  I  will  execute  vengeance 
in  anger  and  fury  upon  the  hea- 
then, such  as  they  have  not  heard. 

Mi.  2—12 1  will  surely  assemble, 
O  Jacob,  all  of  thee;  I  will  surely 
gather  the  remnant  of  Israel;  I 
will  put  them  together  as  the 
sheep  of  Bozrah,  as  the  flock  in 
the  midst  of  their  fold :  they  shall 
make  great  noise  by  reason  of 
the  multitude  of  men. 

13  The  breaker  is  come  up  be- 
fore them:  they  have  broken  up. 
and  have  passed  through  the  gate, 
and  are  gone  out  by  it ;  and  their 
king  shall  pass  before  them,  and 
the  Lord  on  the  head  of  them. 

Zep.  3—8  Therefore  wait  ye  upon 
me,  saith  the  Lord,  until  the  day 
that  I  rise  up  to  the  prey:  for  my 
determination  is  to  gather  the 
nations,  that  I  may  assemble  the 
kingdoms,  to  pour  upon  them 
mine  indignation,  even  all  my 
fierce  anger:  for  all  the  earth  shall 
be  devoured  with  the  fire  of  my 
jealousy. 

9  For  then  will  I  turn  to  the  peo- 
ple a  pure  language,  that  they 
may  all  call  upon  the  name  of  the 
Lord,  to  serve  him  with  one  con- 
sent. .  , 

10  From  beyond  the  rivers  or 
Ethiopia  my  suppliants,  even  the 
daughter  of  my  dispersed,  shall 
bring  mine  offering. 

11  In  that  day  shalt  thou  not  be 
ashamed  for  all  thy  doings,  where- 
in thou  hast  transgressed  against 
me:  for  then  I  will  take  away  out 
of  the  midst  of  thee  them  that  re- 
joice in  thy  pride,  and  thou  shalt 
no  more  be  haughty  because  of 
my  holy  mountain. 

12  I  will  also  leave  m  the  midst 
of  thee  an  afflicted  and  poor  peo- 
ple, and  they  shall  trust  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord.  ,    ,    ,, 

13  The  remnant  of  Israel  shall 
not  do  iniquity,  nor  speak  lies; 
neither  shall  a  deceitful  tongue 
be  found  in  their  mouth:  for  they 
shall  feed  and  lie  down,  and  none 
shall  make  them  afraid. 


482 


14  Sing,  O  daughter  of  Zion; 
shout,  O  Israel;  be  glad  and  re- 
joice with  all  the  heart,  O  daugh- 
ter of  Jerusalem. 

15  The  Lord  hath  taken  away 
thy  judgments,  he  hath  cast  out 
thine  enemy :  the  King  of  Israel, 
even  the  Lord,  is  in  the  midst  of 
thee:  thou  shaltnotsee  evil  any 
more. 

16  In  that  day  it  shall  be  said  to 
•lerusalem.  Fear  thou  not:  and  to 
Zion,  Let  not  thine  hands  be  slack. 

17  The  Lord  thy  God  in  the 
midst  of  thee  is  mighty;  he  will 
save,  he  will  rejoice  over  thee 
with  joy ;  he  will  rest  in  his  love, 
he  will  joy  over  thee  with  singing. 

18  I  will  gather  them  that  are 
sorrowful  for  the  solemn  assem- 
bly, who  are  of  thee,  to  whom  the 
reproach  of  it  was  a  burden. 

19  At  that  time  I  will  undo  all 
that  afflict  thee:  and  1  will  save 
her  that  halteth,  and  gather  her 
that  was  driven  out;  and  I  will 
get  them  praise  and  fame  in  every 
land  where  they  have  been  put  to 
shame. 

•iO  At  that  time  will  I  bring  you 
again,  even  in  the  time  that  I 
gather  you:  for  I  will  make  you  a 
name  and  a  praise  among  all  peo- 
ple of  the  earth,  when  I  turn  back 
your  captivity  before  your  eyes, 
saith  the  Lord. 

Zee.  2 — i  Jerusalem  shall  be  in- 
habited as  towns  without  walls 
for  the  multitude  of  men  and 
cattle  therein: 

5  For  I,  saith  the  Lord,  will  be 
unto  her  a  wall  of  tire  round 
about,  and  will  be  the  glory  in  the 
midst  of  her. 

6  Ho,  ho,  come  forth,  and  flee 
from  the  land  of  the  north,  saith 
the  Lord:  fori  liave  spread  you 
abroad  as  the  four  winds  of  the 
heaven,  saith  the  Lord. 

7  Deliver  thyself,  O  Zion,  that 
dwellest  with  the  daughter  of 
Babylon. 

8  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts ;  After  the  glory  hath  he  sent 
me  unto  the  nations  which  spoiled 
you:  for  he  that  touoheth  you, 
toucheth  the  apple  of  his  eye. 

9  For,  behold,!  will  shake  mine 
hand  upon  them,  and  they  shall 
be  a  spoil  to  their  servants. 

.  10  Sing  and  rejoice,  O  daughter 
of  Zion:  for,  lo,  I  come,  and  I  will 
dwell  in  the  midst  of  thee,  saith 
the  Lord. 


11  And  many  nations  shall  be 
joined  to  the  Lord  in  that  day, 
and  shall  be  my  people :  and  I  will 
dwell  in  the  midst  of  thee,  and 
thou  shalt  know  that  the  Lord  of 
hosts  hath  sent  me  unto  thee. 

12  And  the  Lord  shall  inherit 
Judah  his  portion  in  the  holy  land, 
and  shall  cnoose  Jerusalem  again. 

Joshua,  the  high  priest.  The 
Branch  (supposed  to  be  Christ)  is 
promised. 

Zee.  3—1  And  he  shewed  me 
Joshua  the  high  priest  standing 
before  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  and 
Satan  standing  at  his  right  hand 
to  resist  him. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Sa- 
tan, The  Lord  rebuke  thee,  O 
Satan ;  even  the  Lord  that  hath, 
chosen  Jerusalem  rebuke  thee :  is 
not  this  a  brand  plucked  out  of 
the  fire? 

3  Now  Joshua  was  clothed  with 
filthy  garments,  and  stood  before 
the  angel. 

4  And  he  spake  unto  those  that 
stood  before  him,  saying.  Take 
away  the  filthy  garments  from 
him.  And  unto  hmi  he  said.  Be- 
hold,! have  caused  thine  iniquity 
to  pass  from  thee,  and  I  will  clothe 
thee  with  change  of  raiment. 

5  And  I  said.  Let  them  set  a  fair 
mitre  upon  his  head.  So  they  set 
a  fair  mitre  upon  his  head,  and 
clothed  him  with  garments. 

6  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
protested  unto  Joshua,  saying, 

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
If  thou  wilt  walk  in  my  ways,  and 
if  thou  wilt  keep  my  charge,  then 
thou  shalt  also  judge  my  house, 
and  shalt  also  Keep  my  courts, 
and  I  will  give  thee  places  to  walk 
among  these  that  stand  by. 

8  Hear  now,  O  Joshua  the  high 
priest,  thou,  and  thy  fellows  that 
sit  before  thee:  for  they  are  men 
wondered  at:  for,  behold,  I  will 
bring  forth  my  servant  the 
BRANCH. 

9  For  behold  the  stone  that  I 
have  laid  hefore  Joshua ;  upon  one 
stone  shall.be  seven  eyes:  behold, 
I  will  engrave  the  graving  thereof, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  and  I  will 
remove  the  iniquity  of  that  land 
in  one  day. 

10  In  that  day,  saith  the  Lord 
of  liosts,  shall  ye  call  every  man 
his  neighbour  under  the  vine  and 
under  the  tig  tree.

Zee.  6—9  And  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me.sayiug, 

10  Take  of  them  of  the  captivity, 
even  of  Heldai,  of  Tobijah,  and  of 
Jedaiah,  which  are  come  from 
Babylon,  and  come  thou  the  same 
day,  and  go  into  tlie  house  of  Jo- 
siah  the  sou  of  Zephaniah ; 

U  Then  take  silver  and  gold, 
and  make  crowns,  and  set  them 
upon  the  head  of  Joshua  the  son 
of  Josedech,  the  high  priest ; 

12  And  speak  imto  him,  saying, 
Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
saying,  Behold  the  man  whose 
name  is  The  BRANCH;  and  he 
shall  grow  up  out  of  his  place, 
and  he  shall  build  the  temple  of 
the  Lord: 

X3  Even  he  shall  build  the  tem- 
ple of  the  Lord;  and  he  shall 
bear  the  glory,  and  shall  sit  and 
rule  upon  his  throne;  and  he 
shall  be  a  priest  upon  his  throne: 
and  the  counsel  of  peace  shall  be 
between  them  both. 

14  And  the  crowns  shall  be  to 
Helem.  and  to  Tobijah,  and  to 
Jedaiah,  and  to  Hen  the  son  of 
Zephaniah,  for  a  memorial  in  the 
temple  of  the  Lord. 

15  And  they  that  are  far  off  shall 
come  and  build  in  the  temple  of 
the  Lord,  and  ye  shall  know  that 
the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  sent  me 
unto  you.  And  this  shall  come  to 
pass,  if  ye  will  diligently  obey  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  yom'  God. 


Zee.  8—1  Again  the  word  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts  came  to  me,  saying, 

2  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ; 
I  was  jealous  for  Zion  with  great 
jealousy,  and  I  was  jealous  for 
her  with  great  fury. 

3  Thus  saitli  the  Lord  ;  1  am  re- 
turned mito  Zion,  and  will  dwell  in 
the  midst  of  Jerusalem:  and  Jeru- 
salem shall  be  called  A  city  of 
truth;  and  the  mountain  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  The  holy  mountain. 

4  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
There  shall  yet  old  men  and  old 
women  dwell  in  the  streets  of  Je- 
rusalem, and  every  man  with  his 
staff  in  his  hand  for  very  age. 

5  And  the  streets  of  the  city 
shall  be  full  of  boys  and  gii-ls  play- 
ing in  the  streets  thereof. 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord;  If  it  be 
marvellous  in  the  eyes  of  the 
remnant  of  this  people  in  these 
days,  should  it  also  be  marvellous 
in  mine  eyes?  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 


7  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts; 
Behold,  I  will  save  my  people 
from  the  east  country,  and  from 
the  west  country ; 

8  And  I  will  bring  them,  and 
they  shall  dwell  in  the  midst  of 
Jerasalem :  and  they  shall  be  my 
people,  and  I  will  be  their  God, 
in  truth  and  in  righteousness. 

22  Yea,  many  people  and  strong 
nations  shall  come  to  seek  the 
Lord  of  hosts  in  Jerusalem,  and 
to  pray  before  the  Lord. 

23  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts ; 
In  those  days  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  that  ten  men  sliall  take  hold 
out  of  all  languages  of  tlie  na- 
tions, even  shall  take  hold  of  the 
skirt  of  him  that  is  a  Jew,  saying, 
We  will  go  with  you :  for  we  have 
heard  that  God  is  with  you. 

Zee.  9—9  Rejoice  greatly,  O 
daughter  of  Zion ;  shout,  O  daugh- 
ter of  Jerusalem:  behold,  thy 
King  Cometh  unto  thee :  he  is  just, 
and  liaving  salvation;  lowly, and 
riding  upon  an  ass,  and  upon  a 
colt  the  foal  of  an  ass.  Mat.  21.  5, 
p.  511. 

10  And  I  will  cut  off  the  chariot 
from  Ephraim,  and  the  horse  from 
Jerusalem,  and  the  battle  bow 
shall  be  cut  off:  and  he  shall 
speak  peace  unto  the  heathen: 
and  his  dominion  shall  be  from 
sea  even  to  sea,  and  from  the  river 
even  to  the  ends  of  the  earth. 

Hi  And  the  Lord  their  God  shall 
save  them  in  that  day  as  the  flock 
of  his  people:  for  they  sliall  be  as 
the  stones  of  a  crown,  lifted  up  as 
an  ensign  upon  his  land. 

17  For  how  great  is  his  goodness, 
and  how  great  is  his  beauty!  corn 
shall  make  the  yoiuig  men  cheer- 
ful, and  ncM'  wine  the  maids. 

Zee.  10—5  And  they  shall  be  as 
mighty  men,  which  tread  down 
their  enemies  in  the  mire  of  the 
streets  in  the  battle:  and  they 
shall  fight,  because  the  Lord  is 
with  them,  and  the  riders  on 
horses  shall  be  confounded. 

6  Andlwillstrengthenthehouse 
of  Judah,  andl  will  save  the  house 
of  Joseph,  and  I  will  bring  them 
again  to  place  them;  for  I  have 
mercy  upon  them:  and  they  shall 
be  as  though  I  had  not  cast  them 
off:  for  I  am  the  Lord  their 
God. 

7  And  they  of  Ephraim  shall  be 
like  a  mighty  man,  and  their  heart 
shall  rejoice  as  through  wine:  yea, 
their  children  shall  see  it,  and  be 


484 


glad:  their  heart  shall  rejoice  in 
the  Lord. 

8  I  will  hiss  for  them,  aud  gath- 
er them;  for  I  have  redeemed 
them:  and  they  shall  increase  as 
they  have  increased. 

9  And  I  will  sow  them  among 
the  people:  and  they  shall  re- 
member me  in  far  coimtries;  and 
they  shall  live  with  their  chil- 
dren, aud  tm-n  again. 

10  I  will  bring  them  again  also 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  and 
gather  them  out  of  Assyria ;  and 
I  will  bring  them  into  the  land  of 
Gilead  and  Lebanon;  and  place 
shall  not  be  found  for  them. 

12  And  I  will  strengthen  them 
in  the  Lord  ;  and  they  shall  walk 
up  and  down  in  his  name,  saith 
the  Lord. 

Zee.  11—7  And  1  took  unto  me 
two  staves;  the  one  I  called 
Beauty,  and  the  other  I  called 
Bands. 

10  And  1  took  my  staff,  even 
Beauty,  and  cut  it  asunder,  that  I 
might  break  my  covenant  which 
I  had  made  with  all  the  people. 

11  And  it  was  broken  in  that 
day:  and  so  the  poor  of  the  flock 
that  waited  upon  me  knew  that 
it  was  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

12  And  1  said  unto  them.  If  ye 
think  good,  give  me  my  price ;  and 
if  not,  forbear.  So  they  weighed 
for  my  price  thirty  pieces  of  silver. 

13  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me. 
Cast  it  unto  the  potter:  a  goodly 
price  that  I  was  prized  at  of  them. 
And  I  took  the  thirty  pieces  of 
silver,  and  cast  them  to  the  potter 
in  the  hoiise  of  the  Lord. 

14  Then  1  cut  asunder  mine 
other  staff,  even  Bands,  that  I 
might  break  the  brotherhood  be- 
tween Judah  and  Israel,    n.  271. 

Zee.  12—2  Behold,  I  will  make 
Jerusalem  a  cup  of  trembling  un- 
to all  the  people  romid  about, 
when  they  shall  be  in  the  siege 
both  against  Judah  and  against 
Jerusalem. 

3  And  in  that  day  will  I  make 
Jerusalem  a  burdensome  stone  for 
all  people :  all  that  bmden  them- 
selves with  it  shall  be  cut  in 
pieces,  though  all  the  people  of 
the  earth  be  gathered  together 
against  it. 

6  In  that  day  will  I  make  the 
governors  of  Judah  like  a  hearth 
of  tire  among  the  wood,  and  a 
torch  of  tire  in  a  sheaf;  and  they 
shall  devour  all  the  people  round 


about,  on  the  right  hand  and  on 
the  left:  and  Jerusalem  shall  be 
inhabited  agam  in  her  own  place, 
even  in  Jerusalem. 

7  The  Lord  also  shall  save  the 
tents  of  Judah  first,  that  the  glory 
of  the  house  of  David  and  the 
glory  of  the  inhabitants  of  Jeru- 
salem do  not  magnify  themselves 
against  Judah. 

8  In  that  day  shall  the  Lord  de- 
fend the  inhabitants  of  Jerusa- 
lem, and  he  that  is  feeble  among 
them  at  that  day  shall  be  as 
David ;  and  the  house  of  David 
shall  be  as  God,  as  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  before  them. 

9  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  I  will  seek  to  de- 
stroy all  the  nations  that  come 
against  Jerusalem. 

10  Aud  I  will  pour  upon  the 
house  of  David,  and  upon  the  in- 
habitants of  Jerusalem,  the  spirit 
of  grace  and  of  supplications:  and 
they  shall  look  upon  me  whom 
they  have  pierced,  and  they  shall 
momTi  for  liim,  as  one  moumeth 
for  his  only  son,  and  shall  be  in 
bitterness  for  him,  as  one  that  is 
in  bitterness  for  his  tirstborn. 

11  In  that  day  shall  there  be  a 
great  mourning  in  Jerusalem,  as 
the  mourning  of  Hadadrimmon 
in  the  valley  of  Megiddon. 

Zee.  13—1  In  that  day  there  shall 
be  a  fountain  opened  to  the  house 
of  David  and  to  the  inhabitants 
of  Jerusalem  for  sin  and  for  un- 
cleanness. 

2  t  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
tliat  day,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
that  I  will  cut  off  the  names  of  the 
idols  out  of  the  land,  and  they 
shall  no  more  be  remembered: 
and  also  I  will  cause  the  prophets 
and  the  unclean  spirit  to  pass  out 
of  the  land. 

3  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
when  any  shall  yet  prophecy,  then 
his  father  and  his  mother  that  be- 
gat him  shall  say  mito  him.  Thou 
shalt  not  live ;  tor  thou  speakest 
lies  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  :  and 
his  father  and  his  mother  that  be- 
gat him  shall  thrust  him  through 
when  he  prophesieth. 

4  And  It  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  the  prophets  shall 
be  ashamed  every  one  of  his  vis- 
ion, when  he  hath  prophesied; 
neither  shall  they  wear  a  rough 
garment  to  deceive: 

5  But  he  shall  say,  I  am  no  proph- 
et, I  am  a  husbandman;  for  man 


485 


taught  me  to  keep  cattle  from  my 
youth. 

6  And  one  shall  say  unto  him, 
What  are  these  wounds  in  thine 
hands?  Then  he  shall  answer, 
Those  with  which  I  was  wounded 
in  the  house  of  my  friends. 

7  Awake,  O  sword,  against  my 
Shepherd,  and  against  the  man 
that  is  my  fellow,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts:  smite  the  Shepherd,  and 
the  sheep  shall  be  scattered:  and 
I  will  turn  mine  hand  upon  the 
little  ones.    Mat.  26. 31,  p.  512. 

8  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
in  all  the  land,  saith  the  Lord, 
two  parts  therein  shall  be  cut  off 
and  die;  but  the  third  shall  be 
left  therein. 

9  And  I  will  bring  the  third  part 
through  the  fire,  and  will  retine 
them  as  silver  is  retined,  and  will 
try  them  as  gold  is  tried:  they 
shall  call  on  my  name,  and  1  will 
hear  them:  I  will  say,  It  is  my 
people:  and  they  shall  say.  The 
Lord  is  my  God. 

Zee.  14—1  Behold,  the  day  of  the 
Lord  cometh,  and  thy  spoil  shall 
be  divided  in  the  midst  of  thee. 

2  For  I  will  gather  all  nations 
against  Jerusalem  to  battle  ■  and 
the  city  shall  be  taken,  and  the 
houses  rifled,  and  the  women  rav- 
ished; and  half  of  the  city  shall 
go  forth  into  captivity,  and  the 
residue  of  the  people  shall  not  be 
cut  off  from  the  city. 

3  Then  shall  the  Lord  go  forth, 
and  fight  against  those  nations,  as 
when  he  fought  in  the  day  of 
battle. 

4  And  his  feet  shall  stand  in 
that  day'upon  themount  of  Olives, 
which  is  before  Jerusalem  on  the 
east,  and  the  mount  of  Olives  shall 
cleave  in  the  midst  th  ereof  toward 
the  east  and  toward  the  west,  and 
there  shall  be  a  very  great  valley ; 
and  half  of  the  mountain  shall  re- 
move toward  the  north,  and  half 
of  it  toward  the  south. 

5  And  ye  shall  flee  to  the  valley 
of  the  mountains;  for  the  valley 
of  the  mountains  shall  reach  unto 
Azal :  yea,  ye  shall  flee,  like  as  ye 
fled  from  before  the  earthquake 
in  the  days  of  Uzziah  king  of  Ju- 
dah:  and  the  Lord  my  God  shall 
come,  and  all  the  saints  with  thee. 

6  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  the  light  shall  not 
be  clearj  nor  dark: 

7  But  It  shall  be  one  day  which 


shall  be  known  to  the  Lord,  not 
day,  nor  night:  but  it  shall  come 
to  pass,  that  at  evening  time  it 
shall  be  light. 

8  And  it  shall  be  in  that  day,  that 
living  waters  shall  go  out  from 
Jerusalem;  half  of  tliem  toward 
the  former  sea,  and  half  of  them 
toward  the  hinder  sea :  in  summer 
and  in  winter  shall  it  be. 

9  And  the  Lord  shall  be  King 
over  all  the  earth:  in  that  day 
shall  there  be  one  Lord,  and  his 
name  one. 

10  All  the  land  shall  be  turned 
as  a  plain  from  Geba  to  Rimmon 
•south  of  Jerusalem:  and  it  shall 
be  lifted  up,  and  inhabited  in  her 
place,  from  Benjamin's  gate  unto 
the  place  of  the  first  gate,  unto 
the  corner  gate,  and  from  the 
tower  of  Hananeel  tmto  the  king's 
winepresses. 

11  And  men  shall  dwell  in  it,  and 
there  shall  be  no  more  utter  de- 
struction ;  but  Jerusalem  shall  be 
safely  inhabited. 

12  And  this  shall  be  the  plague 
wherewith  the  Lord  will  smite 
all  the  people  that  have  fought 
against  Jerusalem;  Their  flesh 
shall  consume  away  while  they 
stand  upon  then-  feet,  and  their 
eyes  shall  consume  away  in  their 
holes,  and  their  tongue  shall  con- 
sume away  in  their  mouth. 

13  And  it  shall  come  to  pass  in 
that  day,  that  a  great  tumult  from 
the  Lord  shall  be  among  them; 
and  they  shall  lay  hold  every  one 
on  the  hand  of  his  neighbour,  and 
his  hand  shall  rise  up  against  the 
hand  of  his  neighbour. 

14  And  Judah  also  shall  fight  at 
Jerusalem ;  and  the  wealth  of  all 
the  heathen  round  about  shall  be 
gathered  together,  gold,  and  sil- 
ver, and  apparel,  in  great  abun- 

15  And  so  shall  be  the  plague  of 
the  horse,  of  the  mule,  of  the 
camel,  and  of  the  ass,  and  of  all 
the  beasts  that  shall  be  in  these 
tents,  as  this  plague. 

16  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
every  one  that  is  left  of  all  the 
nations  which  came  against  Jeru- 
salem, shall  even  go  up  from  year 
to  year  to  worship  the  King,  the 
Lord  of  hosts,  and  to  keep  the 
feast  of  tabernacles. 

17  And  it  shall  be,  that  whoso  will 
not  come  up  of  all  the  families  of 
the  earth  unto  Jerusalem  to  wor- 


486 


ship  the  King,  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
even  upon  them  shall  be  no  rain. 

18  And  if  the  family  of  Egypt  go 
not  up,  and  come  not,  that  have 
:io  rain ;  there  shall  be  the  plague, 
wherewith  the  Lord  will  smite 
the  heathen  that  come  not  up  to 
keep  the  feast  of  tabernacles. 

19  Thisshall  be  the  punishment 
of  Egypt,  and  the  punishment  of 
all  nations  that  come  not  up  to 
keep  the  feast  of  tabernacles. 

20  In  that  day  shall  there  be 
upon  the  bells  of  the  horses, 
HOLINESS  UNTO  THE  LORD; 
and  the  pots  in  the  Lord's  house 
shall  he  like  the  bowls  before  the 
altar. 

21  Yea,  every  pot  in  Jerusalem 
and  in  Judah  shall  be  holiness 
unto  the  Lord  of  hosts:  and  all 
they  that  sacrifice  shall  come  and 
take  of  them, and  seethe  therein: 
and  in  that  day  there  shall  be  no 
more  the  Canaanite  iu  the  house 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

Mai.  3—1  Behold,  I  will  send  my 
messenger,  and  he  shall  prepare 
the  wayhefore  me:  and  the  Lord, 
whom  ye  seek,  shall  suddenly 
come  to  his  temple,  even  the  mes- 
senger of  the  covenant,  whom  ye 
delight  in:  behold,  he  shall  come, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

2  But  who  may  abide  the  day  of 
his  coming '?  and  who  shall  stand 
when  he  appeareth  ?  for  he  is  like 
a  refiner's  fire,  and  like  fullers' 
soap: 

3  And  he  shall  sit  as  a  refiner 
and  purifier  of  silver:  and  he  shall 
pui'iry  the  sons  of  Levi,  and  purge 
them  as  gold  and  silver,  that  they 
may  offer  unto  the  Lord  an  offer- 
ing in  righteousness. 

4  Then  shall  the  offering  of  Ju- 
dah and  Jerusalem  be  pleasant 
unto  the  Lord,  as  in  the  days  of 
old,  and  as  in  former  years. 

5  And  I  will  come  near  to  you  to 
judgment;  and  I  will  be  ii  swift 
witness  against  the  sorcerers,  and 
against  the  adulterers,  and  aga  inst 
false  swearers,  and  against  those 
that  oppress  the  hireling  in  his 
wages,  tlie  widow,  and  the  father- 
less, and  that  turn  aside  the  stran- 
ger from  his  right,  and  fear  not 
me,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

6  For  I  am  the  Lord,  I  change 
not;  therefore  ye  sons  of  Jacob 
are  not  consumed. 

7  Even  fiom  the  days  of  your 
fathers  ye  are  gone  away  from 


mine  ordinances,  and  have  not 
kept  them.  Return  unto  me,  and 
I  will  return  unto  you,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts.  Be  ye  said.  Where- 
in shall  we  return  ? 

8  Will  a  man  rob  God  ?  Yet  ye 
have  robbed  me.  But  ye  say. 
Wherein  have  we  robbed  thee  ? 
In  tithes  and  offerings. 

9  Ye  are  cursed  with  a  curse: 
for  ye  have  robbed  me,  even  this 
whole  nation. 

10  Bring  ye  all  the  tithes  into 
the  storehouse,  that  there  may  be 
meat  in  mme  house,  and  prove 
me  now  herewith,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  if  I  will  not  open  you  the 
windows  of  heaven,  and  pour  you 
out  a  blessing,  that  there  shall 
not  be  room  enough  to  receive  it. 

11  And  I  will  rebuke  the  devour- 
er  for  your  sakes,and  he  shall  not 
destroy  the  fruits  of  your  ground : 
neither  shall  your  vine  cast  her 
fruit  before  the  time  in  the  field, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

12  And  all  nations  shall  call  you 
blessed:  for  5;e  shall  be  a  delight- 
some land,saith  theLoRD  of  hosts. 

13  If  Your  words  have  been  stout 
against  me,  saith  the  Lord.  Yet 
ye  say.  What  have  we  spoken  so 
inuch  against  thee  ? 

14  Ye  have  said.  It  is  vain  to 
serve  God:  and  what  profit  is  it 
that  we  have  kept  his  ordinance, 
and  that  we  have  walked  mourn- 
fully before  the  Lord  of  hosts  ? 

15  And  now  we  call  the  proud 
happy;  yea,  they  that  work  wick- 
edness are  set  up;  yea,  they  that 
tempt  God  are  even  delivered. 

16  Then  they  that  feared  the 
Lord  spake  often  one  to  another: 
and  the  Lord  hearkened,  and 
heard  it,  and  a  Iwok  of  i-emem-

IV  And  they  shall  be  mine,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts,  in  that  day 
when  I  make  up  my  jewels;  and  I 
will  spare  them,  as  a  man  spareth 
his  own  son  that  serveth  him. 

18  Then  shall  he  return,  and 
discern  between  the  righteous 
and  the  wicked,  between  him 
that  serveth  God  and  him  that 
serveth  him  not. 

Mai.  4—1  For,  behold,  the  day 
Cometh,  that  shall  burn  as  an  oven ; 
and  all  the  protid,  yea,  and  all  that 
do  wickedly,  shall  be  .stubble:  and

them  up,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
that  it  shall  leave  them  ueither 
root  nor  branch. 

2  But  uuto  vou  that  fear  my 
name  shall  the  Sun  of  righteous- 
ness arise  with  healing  in  his 
wings;  and  ye  shall  go  forth,  and 
grow  up  as  calves  of  the  stall. 

3  And  ye  shall  tread  down  the 
wicked;  for  they  shall  be  ashes 
under  the  soles  of  your  feet  in  the 
day  that  I  shall  do  this,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts.  . 

5  Behold,  1  will  send  you  Eli- 
jah the  prophet  before  the  com- 
ing of  the  great  and  dreadful  day 
of  the  Lord  :  ,     ,        ^    -. 

6  And  he  shall  turn  the  heart  of 
the  fathers  to  the  children,  and 
the  heart  of  the  children  to  their 
fathers,  lest  I  come  and  smite  the 
earth  with  a  curse.

Mat.  24—3  And  as  Jesus  sat  upon 
the  mount  of  Olives,  the  disciples 
came  unto  him  privately,  saying. 
Tell  us.  when  shall  these  things 
be?  and  what  shall  be  the  sign 
of  thy  coming,  and  of  the  end  of 
the  world?  ,        ,       ., 

4  And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  them.  Take  heed  that  no 
man  deceive  you. 

5  For  many  shall  come  in  my 
name,  saying,  I  am  Christ;  and 
shall  deceive  many. 

6  And  ye  shall  hear  of  wars  and 
rumours  of  wars:  see  that  ye  be 
not  troubled:  for  all  these  things 
must  come  to  pass,  but  the  end  is 
not  yet.       .  ,    „     .  .     , 

7- For  nations  shall  rise  against 
nation,  and  kingdom  against 
kingdom :  and  there  shall  be  fam- 
ines, and  pestilences,  and  earth- 
quakes, in  divers  places. 

8  All  these  a»e  the  beginnmg  of 
sorrows,  ,  ,. 

9  Then  shall  they  deliver  you 
up  to  be  afflicted,  and  shall  kill 
you:  and  ye  shall  be  hated  of  all 
nations  for  my  name's  sake. 

10  And  then  shall  many  be  of- 
fended, and  shall  betray  one  an- 
other, and  shall  hate  one  another. 


12  And  because  iniquity  shall 
abound,  the  love  of  many  shall 
wax  cold. 

13  But  he  that  shall  endure  unto 
the  end,  the  same  shall  be  saved. 

14  And  this  gospel  of  the  king- 
dom shall  be  preached  in  all  the 
world  for  a  witness  unto  all  na- 
tions; and  then  shall  the  end 
come. 

15  When  ye  shall  see  the  abomi- 
nation of  desolation,  spoken  of  by 
Daniel,  stand  in  the  holy  place, 
(whoso  readeth,  let  him  under- 
stand.)   Da.  12,  p.  247;  Da.  8.  13. 

P-  394.  ,  ,.,,.. 

16  Then  let  them  which  be  in 
Judea  liee  into  the  mountains : 

17  Let  him  which  is  on  the 
housetop  not  come  down  to  take 
any  thing  out  of  his  house : 

18  Neither  let  him  which  is  m 
the  field  return  back  to  take  his 
clothes. 

19  And  woe  unto  them  that  are 
with  child,  and  to  them  that  give 
suck  in  those  days ! 

20  But  pray  ye  that  your  flight 
be  not  in  the  winter,  neither  ou 
the  sabbath  day: 

21  For  then  shall  be  great  tribu- 
lation, such  as  was  not  since  the 
beginning  of  the  world  to  this 
tune.  no.  nor  ever  shall  be. 

(Lu.  21-24  And  they  shall  fall  by 
the  sword,  and  shall  be  led  away 
captive  into  all  nations :  and  Jeru- 
salem shall  be  trodden  down  of 
the  Gentiles,  until  the  times  of 
the  Gentiles  be  fulfilled.  See  Re. 
11. 2,  p.  285.)  ,  ,  ,       ,  J 

22  And  except  those  days  should 
be  shortened,  there  should  no  flesh 
be  saved :  but  for  the  elect's  sake 
those  days  shall  be  shortened. 

23  Then  if  any  man  shall  say. 
Here  is  Christ ;  believe  it  not. 

24  For  there  shall  arise  false 
Christs,  and  false  prophets,  and 
shall  shew  great  signs  and  won- 
ders; insomuch  that,  if  it  were 
possible,  they  shall  deceive  the 
very  elect. 

26  Wherefore  if  they  shall  say 
uuto  vou.  He  is  in  the  desert ;  go 
not  forth:  behold,  he  is  in  the 
secret  chambers;  believe  it  not. 

27  For  as  the  lightning  cometh 
out  of  the  east,  and  shineth  even 
unto  the  west;  so  shall  also  the 
coming  of  the  Sou  of  man  he.

Illation  of  those  days  shall  the  sun 
be  darkened,  and  the  nioou  shall 
not  give  her  light,  and  the  stars 
shall  fall  from  heaven,  and  the 
powers  of  the  heavens  shall  be 
shaken : 

30  And  then  shall  appear  the 
sign  of  the  Son  ol  man  in  heaven: 
and  then  shall  all  the  tribes  of  the 
earth  mourn,  and  they  shall  see 
the  Son  of  man  coming  in  the 
clouds  of  heaven  with  power  and 
great  glory. 

31  And  he  shall  send  his  angels 
with  a  great  sound  of  a  trumpet, 
and  they  shall  gather  together  his 
elect  from  the  four  winds,  from 
one  end  of  heaven  to  the  other. 

32  Now  learn  a  parable  of  the 
fig  tree ;  When  his  branch  is  yet 
tender,  and  putteth  forth  leaves, 
ye  know  that  summer  is  nigh : 

33  So  likewise  ye,  when  ye  shall 
see  all  these  things,  know  that  it 
is  near,  even  at  the  doors. 

34  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  This 
generation  shall  not  pass,  till  all 
these  things  be  fulfilled. 

a5  Heaven  and  earth  shall  pass 
away,  but  my  words  shall  not  pass 
away. 

36  But  of  that  day  and  hour 
knoweth  no  man.  no,  not  the  an- 
gels of  heaven,  but  my  Father 
only. 

37  But  as  the  days  of  Noe  were, 
so  shall  also  the  coming  of  the 
Son  of  man  be. 

38  For  as  in  the  days  that  were 
before  the  flood  they  were  eating 
and  drinking,  marrying  and  giv- 
ing m  marriage,  until  the  day 
that  Noe  entered  into  the  ark. 

39  And  knew  not  until  the  Hood 
came,  and  took  them  all  away ;  so 
shall  also  the  coming  of  the  Son 
of  man  be. 

40  Then  shall  two  be  in  the  field ; 
the  one  shall  be  taken,  and  the 
other  left. 

41  Two  women  shall  be  grinding 
at  the  mill ;  the  one  shall  he  taken, 
and  the  other  left. 

42  Watch  therefore ;  for  ye  know 
not  what  hour  your  Lord  doth 
come. 

43  But  know  this,  that  if  the 
goodman  of  the  house  had  known 
m  what  watch  the  thief  would 
come,  he  would  have  watched, 
and  would  not  have  suffered  his 
house  to  be  broken  up. 

44  Therefore  be  ye  also  ready: 
for  in  such  an  hour  as  ye  think  not 
the  Son  of  man  coraeth. 


4.5  Who  then  is  a  faithful  and 
wise  servant,  whom  his  lord  hath 
made  ruler  over  his  household,  to 
give  them  meat  in  due  season? 

46  Blessed  is  that  servant,  whom 
his  lord  when  he  cometh  shall 
find  so  doing. 

47  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  That 
he  shall  make  him  ruler  over  all 
his  goods. 

48  But  and  if  that  evil  servant 
shall  say  in  his  heart,  My  lord  de- 
layeth  his  coming; 

49  And  shall  begin  to  smite  his 
fellow  servants,  and  to  eat  and 
drink  with  the  drimken ; 

50  The  lord  of  that  servant  shall 
come  in  a  day  when  he  looketh 
not  for  him,  and  in  an  hour  that 
he  is  not  aware  of, 

51  And  shall  cut  him  asunder, 
and  appoint  him  his  portion  with 
the  hypocrites:  there  shall  be 
weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 

Lu.  17—20  And  when  he  was  de- 
manded of  the  Pharisees,  when 
the  kingdom  of  God  should  come, 
he  answered  them  and  said.  The 
kingdom  of  God  cometh  not  with 
observation : 

21  Neither  shall  they  say,  Lo 
here!  or,  lo  there!  for,  behold, 
the  kingdom  of  God  is  within 
you. 

22  And  he  said  unto  the  dis- 
ciples. The  days  will  come,  when 
ye  shall  desire  to  see  one  of  the 
days  of  the  Son  of  man,  and  ye 
shall  not  see  it. 

23  And  they  shall  say  to  you.  See 
here;  or,  see  there:  go  not  after 
them,  nor  follow  them. 

24  For  as  the  lightning,  that 
lighteneth  out  of  the  one  part  un- 
der heaven,  shineth  unto  the 
other  part  under  heaven  ;  so  shall 
also  the  Son  of  man  be  in  his  day. 

25  But  first  must  he. suffer  many 
things,  and  be  rejected  of  this 
generation. 

26  And  as  it  was  in  the  days  of 
Noe,  so  shall  it  be  also  in  the  days 
of  the  Son  of  man, 

27  They  did  eat,  they  drank, 
they  married  wives,  they  were 
given  in  marriage,  until  the  day 
that  Noe  entered  intothe  ark,  and 
the  flood  came,  and  destroyed 
them  all. 

28  Likewise  also  as  it  was  in  the 
days  of  Lot;  they  did  eat,  they 
drank,  they  bought,  they  sold, 
they  planted,  they  buildeo.; 

29  But  the  same  day  that  Lot 
went  out  of  Sodom  it  rained  fire 


489 


and  brimstone  from  heaven,  and 
destroyed  tliem  all. 

SOEventhusshali  it  be  in  theday 
when  the  Sou  of  man  is  revealed. 

31  In  that  day,  he  which  shall  be 
upon  the  housetop,  and  his  stuff  in 
the  house,  let  him  not  come  down 
to  take  it  away :  and  he  that  is  in 
the  field,  let  him  likewise  not  re- 
turn back. 

32  Remember  Lot's  wife. 

33  Wliosoever  shall  seek  to  save 
his  life  shall  lose  it;  and  whoso- 
ever shall  lose  his  life  shall  pre- 
serve it. 

34  I  tell  you,  in  that  night  there 
shall  be  two  men  in  one  bed ;  the 
one  shall  be  taken,  and  the  other 
shall  be  left. 

35  Two  women  shall  be  grinding 
together;  the  one  shall  be  taken, 
and  the  other  left. 

36  Two  men  shall  be  in  the  field ; 
the  one  shall  be  taken,  and  the 
other  left. 

37  And  they  answered  and  said 
unto  him.  Where.  Lord?  And  he 
said  unto  them.  Wheresoever  the 
body  is,  thither  will  the  eagles  be 
gathered  together.    See  Lu.  21. 

THE  LAST  JUDGMENT. 

Mat.  25—31  When  the  Son  of  man 
shall  come  in  his  glory,  and  all 
the  holy  angels  with  him.  then 
shall  he  sit  upon  the  throne  of  his 
glory: 

32  And  before  him  shall  be  gath- 
ered all  nations:  and  he  shall  sep- 
arate them  one  from  another,  as 
a  shepherd  divideth  his  sheep 
from  tne  goats: 

33  And  he  shall  set  the  sheep  on 
his  right  hand,  but  the  goats  on 
the  left. 

34  Then  shall  the  King  say  unto 
them  on  his  right  hand.  Gome,  ye 
blessed  of  my  Father,  inherit  the 
kingdom  prepared  for  you  from 
the  foundation  of  the  world : 

36  For  I  was  a  hungered,  and  ye 
gave  me  meat:  1  was  thirsty,  and 
ye  gave  me  drink :  I  was  a  stran- 
ger, and  ye  took  me  in : 

36  Naked,  and  ye  clothed  me:  I 
was  sick,  and  ye  visited  me:  I  was 
in  prison,  and  ye  came  unto  me. 

37  Then  shall  the  righteous  an- 
swer him,  saying.  Lord,  when  saw 
we  thee  a  hungered,  and  fed  thee? 
or  thirsty,  and  gave  thee  drink? 

38  When  saw  we  thee  a  stranger, 
and  took  thee  in?  or  naked,  and 
clothed  thee? 


39  Or  when  saw  we  thee  sick,  or 
in  pri.son,  and  came  unto  thee? 

40  And  the  King  shall  answer 
and  say  unto  them.  Verily  I  say 
unto  you.  Inasmuch  as  ye  have 
done  It  unto  one  of  the  least  of 
these  my  brethren,  ye  have  done 
it  unto  me. 

41  Then  shall  he  say  also  unto 
them  on  the  left  hand.  Depart 
from  me,  ye  cursed,  into  everlast- 
ing fire,  prepared  for  the  devil  and 
his  angels: 

42  For  I  was  a  hungered,  and  ye 
gave  me  no  meat :  1  was  thirsty, 
and  ye  gave  them  no  drink: 

43  I  was  a  stranger,  and  ye  took 
me  not  in:  naked,  and  ye  clothed 
me  not:  sick,  and  in  prison,  and 
ye  visited  me  not. 

44  Then  shall  they  also  answer 
him,  saying.  Lord,  when  saw  we 
thee  a  hungered,  or  athirst.  or  a 
stranger,  or  naked,  or  sick,  or  in 
prison,  and  did  not  minister  unto 
thee? 

45  Then  shall  he  answer  them, 
saying.  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  In- 
asmuch as  ye  did  it  not  to' one  of 
the  least  of  these,  ye  did  it  not  to 
me. 

46  And  these  shall  go  away  into 
everlasting  punishment:  but  the 
righteous  mto  life  eternal. 


1  Th.  4—13  But  I  would  not  have 
you  to  be  ignorant^  brethren,  con- 
cerning them  which  are  asleep, 
that  ye  sorrow  not,  even  as  others 
which  have  no  hope. 

14  For  if  we  believe  that  Jesus 
died  and  rose  again,  even  so  them 
also  which  sleep  in  Jesus  will  God 
bring  with  him. 

15  For  this  we  say  unto  you  by 
the  word  of  the  Lord,  that  we 
which  are  alive  and  remain  unto 
the  coining  of  the  Lord  shall  not 
prevent  them  which  are  asleep. 

16  For  tlie  Lord  himself  shall  de- 
scend from  heaven  with  a  shout, 
with  the  voice  of  the  archangel, 
and  with  the  trump  of  God :  and 
the  dead  in  Christ  shall  rise  first: 

17  Then  we  which  are  alive  and 
remain  shall  becaught  up  together 
with  them  in  the  clouds,  to  meet 
the  Lord  in  the  air:  and  so  shall 
we  ever  be  with  the  Lord. 

18  Wherefore  comfort  one  an- 
other with  these  words. 

2  Fe.  3—3  Knowing  this  first, 
that  there  shall  come  in  tlie  last 
days  scoffers,  walking  after  their 
own  lusts.

4  And  saying.  Where  is  the 
promise  of  his  coming  ?  for  smce 
the  fathers  fell  asleep,  all  things 
continue  as  they  were  from  the 
beginning  of  the  creation. 

5  Eor  this  they  willingly  are  ig- 
norant of.  that  by  the  word  of 
God  the  heavens  were  of  old,  and 
the  earth  standing  out  of  the 
water  and  in  the  water : 

6  Whereby  the  world  that  then 
was,  being  overflowed  with  water, 
perished; 

7  But  the  heavens  and  the  earth, 
which  are  now,  by  the  same  word 
are  kept  in  store,  reserved  unto 
tire  against  the  day  of  judgment 
and  perdition  of  ungodly  men.  p.

Re.  1—1  The  Revelation  of  Jesus 
Christ,  which  God  gave  unto  him, 
to  shew  his  servants  things  which 
must  shortly  come  to  pass;  and 
he  sent  and  signified  it  by  his 
angel  unto  his  servant  John : 

2  Who  bare  record  of  the  word 
of  God,  and  of  the  testimony  of 
Jesus  Christ,  and  of  all  things  that 
he  saw.  ,     ,         , 

3  Blessed  is  he  that  readeth,  and 
they  that  hear  the  words  of  this 
prophecy,  and  keep  those  things 
which  are  written  therein :  for  the 
time  is  at  hand.    p.  253. 

7  Behold.hecometh  with  clouds ; 
and  every  eye  shall  see  him,  and 
they  also  which  pierced  him:  and 
all  kindreds  of  the  earth  shall  wail 
because  of  him.    Even  so.  Amen. 

8  I  am  Alpha  and  Omega,  the 
beginning  and  the  ending,  saith 
the  Lord,  which  is,  and  which 
was,  and  which  is  to  come,  the 
Almighty. 

9  I  John,  who  also  am  your 
brother,  and  companion  in  tribu- 
lation, and  in  the  kingdom  and 
patience  of  Jesus  Christ,  was  m 
the  isle  that  is  called  Patmos,  for 
the  word  of  God,  and  for  the  testi- 
mony of  Jesus  Christ. 

10  I  was  in  the  Spirit  on  the 
Lord's  day,  and  heard  behind  me 
a  great  voice,  as  of  a  trumpet, 

11  Saying,!  am  Alpha  and  Ome- 
ga, the  first  and  the  last. 

12  And  I  turned  to  see  the  voice 
that  spake.  And  1  saw  seven  gol- 
den candlesticks,    p.  258. 

13  And  in  the  midst  of  the  seven 
candlesticks  one  like  unto  the  Son 
of  man,  clothed  with  a  garment 
down  to  the  foot,  and  girt  about 
the  paps  with  a  golden  girdle. 


14  His  head  and  his  hairs  were 
white  like  wool,  as  white  as  snow ; 
and  his  eyes  were  as  a  name  of 
fire.    Da.  7.  9,  p.  17.    .. 

15  And  his  feet  like  unto  fine 
brass,  and  his  voice  as  the  sound 
of  many  waters.    Re.  2. 18. 

16  And  he  had  in  his  right  hand 
seven  stars:  and  out  of  his  mouth 
went  a  sharp  twoedged  sword: 
and  his  countenance  was  as  the 
sun  shineth  m  his  strength,  p.  258. 

17  And  when  I  saw  him.  I  fell  at 
his  feet  as  dead.  And  he  laid  his 
hand  upon  me.  saying,  Fear  not ; 
1  am  the  first  and  the  last : 

18  I  am  he  that  liveth,  and  was 
dead ;  and,  behold,  I  am  alive  for 
evermore,  Amen;  and  have  the 
keys  of  hell  and  of  death. 

Christ  as  an  angel,  and  Christ 
before  the  world  was.  p.  490  to  496. 

The  old  Bible  makes  no  mention 
of  Christ,  under  the  name  of 
Christ,  either  as  an  angel  or  as  the 
Son  of  God ;  in  fact,  there  is  no 
mention  made  in  the  old  Bible  of 
a  Son  of  God.  The  angels  are 
classed  as  sons  of  God,  Job.  38.  7, 
p.  8;  men  as  sons  of  God,  Ge.  6.  2, 
p.  185;  Christians  as  sons  of  God, 
p.  43;  and  the  children  of  Israel  as 
sons  of  God,  Ho.  1. 10,  p.  480.  For 
all  names  attributed  to  Christ  (or 
to  the  one  who  was  to  come  to  be 
the  king  of  the  Jews)  in  the  old  or 
new  Bible,  see  Christ's  various 
names  and  titles,  p.  503.  Jesus 
Christ  is  the  name  of  the  son 
of  Mary,  the  wife  of  Joseph, 
Mat.  1.  18-21,  p.  496.  Luke  says, 
supposed  to  be  the  son  of  Joseph, 
Lu.  3.  23,  p.  499.  Christ  himself 
said  that  he  was  the  Son  of  God. 

(Mar.  14—61  Again  the  high 
priest  asked  him.  Art  thou  the 
Christ,  the  Son  of  the  Blessed  ? 

62  And  Jesus  said.  I  am. 

Jno.  10—36  Say  ye  of  him,  whom 
the  Father  hath  sanctified,  and 
sent  into  the  world.  Thou  blas- 
phemest;  because  I  said,  I  am  the 
Son  of  God  ?  See  also  Jno.  9. 35- 
37,  Mat.  16. 16,  p.  608.)  .  ,   ^   ^ 

And  also  that  he  was  with  God 
before  the  world  was.  Jno.  17.  5,  p. 
496.  Micah,  in  writing  about  the 
future  ruler  of  Israel  who  was  to 
come  out  of  Bethlehem,  said, 
"  Whose  goings  forth  have  been 
of  old,  from  everlasting,"  Mi.  5. 
2,  p.  481.

■It  is  claimed  by  some   people 
that  Christ,  the  son  of  Mary,  was 
that  ruler;  and  it  is  also  claimed 
by  other  people  that  he  was  not 
that  ruler.    Those  who  are  inter- 
ested in  this  subject  can  find  all 
the  information  the  Bible  gives 
on  it  in  the  first  and  second  com- 
ing of  Christ,  p.  467-490.    Christ, 
the  son  of  Mary,  said  that  Abi-a- 
hani  "rejoiced  to  see  his  day,  and 
saw  it,  and  was  glad,"  see  Jno.  8. 
.5G,  p.  496,  and  Ge.  18. 1-8.  p.  491.   In 
Ge.  18. 1-8,  it  says  the  Lord  appear- 
ed unto  Abraham,  and  Christian 
Bible  writers  tell  us  that  that  Lord 
was  Jesus  Christ,  the  angel.    At 
any  rate,  it  appears  that  Abraham 
was  glad  to  see  the  Lord,  and  en- 
tertained him  and  his  two  compan- 
ions in  a  very  hospitable  manner; 
and  they  did  eat  and  drink  what 
Abraham  set  before  them.    It  is 
supposed  that  this  is  the  meeting 
that  Christ  referred  to  in  Jno.  8. 
56,  p.  496.    But  how  could  he  be 
that  Lord  whom  Abraham  enter- 
tained nineteen  hundred  years  be- 
fore he  was  born  of  the  Virgin 
Mary?    It  is  claimed  (and  that  is 
all)  that  Christ,  the  son  of  Mary, 
was  possessed  of  the  spirit  of  the 
Lord,  the  angel ;  or,  at  least,  was 
born  with  that  spirit  in  him.    If 
this  was  so,  then  what  became  of 
the  Lord,  the  angel?    The  Bible 
does  not  explain  this;  and  it  does 
not  seem  to  be  understood  by  any 
person,  except  the  paid  teachers, 
and  a  certain  few  who  have  gain- 
ed tbeir  knowledge  from   those 
teachers.    It  is  also  claimed  <^hat 
Olirist  was  the  angel,  the  Lord, 
w  h   from  heaven  stayed  the  hand 
of  Abraham  when  he  was  about  to 
slay  his  son  Isaac  Ge.  22. 10,  p.  492). 
and  the  man  who  wrestled    all 
night  with  Jacob,  and  changed 
his  name  to  Israel  (hence  th    chil- 
dren of  Israel),  and  also  caused 
the  sinew   of    Jacob's    thigh    to 
shrink;  and  "the  children  of  Israel 
eatnot  of  the  sinew  which  shrank, 
which  is  upon  the  hollow  of  the 
thigh  unto  this  day"  (Ge.  32.  24- 
32,  p.  492).    The  Lord,  the   angel 
Christ,  also  appeared  unto  Moses 
in  a  burning  bush  (see  Ex.  3.  2,  p. 
150)  (and  a  short  time  after  that 
meeting,  the  Lord  sought  to  kill 
him)  (Ex.  4.  24,  p.  1.51 ;  see  also  Ex. 
23.  20,  p.  405),  and  to  Joshua,  as  the 
captain  of  the  Lord's  host  (Jos.  6. 
14,  p.  492),  and  to  the  children  of  Is- 


rael in  Bochim  (Ju.  2. 1,  p.  492),  and 
to  Gideon,  and  gave  hun  the  sign 
of  the  Fleece  of  Wool,  and  also 
instructed  him  how  to  defeat  the 
Midianites.  with  three  hundred 
men,  armed  with  pitchers,  lamps, 
and  swords,  which  he  did :  "for 
there  fell  one  hundred  and  twenty 
thousand  men  that  drew  swords  " 
(see  Ju.  6-8,  p.  493-49.5).  Christ  also 
appeared  as  an  angel  to  Manoah 
and  his  wife,  and  promised  them 
ason,— Samson,— "Who  was  to  be- 
gin to  deliver  the  children  of  Is- 
rael out  of  the  hand  of  the  Philis- 
tines." Then  Manoah  offered  a 
burnt  offering  unto  the  Lord; 
"and  it  came  to  pass  when  the 
flame  went  up  toward  heaven, 
from  off  tbe  altar,  that  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  ascended  in  the  flame 
of  the  altar"  (Ju.  13.  2-24,  p.  495). 
See  also  the  Lord's  promise  to 
Abraliam  and  Sarah  (Ge.  17  and 
18,  p.  180),~  and  Abraham  inter- 
cedeth  for  Sodom  (Ge.  18.  20-33). 

Ge.  18—1  And  the  Lord  appear- 
ed unto  him  in  the  plains  of 
Mamre:  and  he  sat  in  the  tent 
door  in  the  heat  of  the  day ; 

2  And  he  lifted  up  his  eyes  and 
looked,  and,  lo,  three  men  stood 
by  him:  and  when  he  saw  them, 
he  ran  to  meet  them,  and  bowed 
himself  toward  the  ground, 

3  And  said.  My  Lord,  if  now  I 
have  fomid  favour  in  thy  sight, 
pass  not  away,  I  pray  thee,  from 
thy  servant: 

4  Let  a  little  water,  I  pray  you. 
be  fetched,  and  wash  your  feet, 
and  rest  yourselves  under  the 
tree : 

5  And  I  will  fetch  a  morsel  of 
bread,  and  comfort  ye  yonr 
hearts;  after  that  ye  shall  pass 
on:  for  therefore  are  ye  come  to 
your  servant.  And  they  said,  So 
do,  as  thou  hast  said. 

6  And  Abraham  hastened  into 
the  tent  unto  Sarah,  and  said. 
Make  ready  quickly  three  meas- 
ures of  tine  meal,  knead  it,  and 
make  cakes  upon  the  hearth. 

7  And  Abraham  ran  unto  the 
herd,  and  fetched  a  calf  tender 
and  good,  and  gave  it  unto  a 
young  man  to  dress  it. 

8  And  he  took  butter,  and  milk, 
and  the  calf  which  he  had  dress- 
ed, and  set  it  before  them;  and 
he  stood  by  them  under  the  tree, 
and  thev  did  eat.    p.  180.

Ge.  22—1  And  it  came  to  pass, 
that  God  did  tempt  Abraham,  and 
said  unto  him, 

2  Take  now  thy  son,  thine  only 
son  Isaac,  whom  thou  lovest,  and 
!^et  thee  into  the  land  of  Moriah ; 
and  offer  him  there  for  a  burnt 
offering  upon  one  of  the  moun- 
tains whicn  I  will  tell  thee  of. 

3  And  Abraham  rose  up  early  in 
the  morning,  and  saddled  his  ass, 
and  took  two  of  his  young  men 
with  him,  and  Isaac  his  son,  and 
clave  the  wood  for  the  burnt  offer- 
ing, and  went  unto  the  place  of 
which  God  had  told  him. 

4  Then  on  the  third  day  Abra- 
ham lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw 
the  place  afar  off. 

5  And  Abraham  said  unto  his 
young  men.  Abide  ye  here  with 
the  ass;  and  I  and  the  lad  will  go 
yonder  and  worship,  and  come 
again  to  you. 

6  And  Abraham  took  the  wood, 
and  laid  it  upon  Isaac  his  son ;  and 
he  took  the  fire  in  his  hand,  and 
a  knife ;  and  they  went  both  of 
them  together. 

7  And  Isaac  spake  unto  his  fath- 
er, and  said.  Behold  the  fire  and 
the  wood :  but  where  is  the  lamb 
for  a  burnt  offering? 

8  And  Abraham  said.  My  son, 
God  will  provide  himself  a  lamb 
for  a  burnt  offering. 

9  And  they  came  to  the  place; 
and  Abraham  built  an  altar  there, 
and  laid  the  wood  in  order,  and 
bound  Isaac  his  son,  and  laid  him 
on  the  altar  upon  the  wood. 

10  And  Abraham  stretched  forth 
his  hand,  and  took  the  knife  to 
slay  his  son. 

11  And  the  Angel  of  the  Lord 
called  unto  him  out  of  heaven, 
and  said, 

12  Lay  not  thine  hand  upon  the 
lad,  neither  do  thou  any  thing 
unto  him:  for  now  i  know  that 
thou  f  earest  God,  seeing  thou  hast 
not  withheld  thy  son,  thine  only 
son,  from  me. 

13  And  Abraham  looked,  and 
behold  behind  him  a  ram  caught 
in  a  thicket  by  his  horns:  and 
Abraham  went  and  took  the  ram, 
and  offered  him  up  for  a  burnt 
offering,    vrs.  15-18,  p.  263. 

19  So  Abraham  returned  unto 
his  young  men,  and  they  rose  up 
and  went  together  to  Beersheba ; 
and  dwelt  there. 

Ge.  32—24  Jacob  was  left  alone ; 


and  there  wrestled  a  man  with 
him  until  the  break  of  day. 

25  And  when  he  saw  that  he  pre- 
vailed not  against  him,  he  touched 
the  hollow  of  his  thigh ;  and  the 
hollow  of  Jacob's  thigh  was  out 
of  joint,  as  he  wrestled  with  him. 

26  And  he  said.  Let  me  go,  for 
the  day  breaketh.  And  he  said,  I 
will  not  let  thee  go,  except  thou 
bless  me. 

27  And  he  said  unto  him.  What 
is  thy  name?    And  he  said,  Jacob. 

28  And  he  said.  Thy  name  shall 
be  called  no  more  Jacob,  but  Is- 
rael: for  as  a  prince  hast  thou 
power  with  God  and  with  men, 
and  hast  prevailed. 

29  And  Jacob  asked  him,  and 
said.  Tell  me,  I  pray  thee,  thy 
name.  And  he  said.  Wherefore  is 
it  that  thou  dost  ask  after  my 
name?   And  he  blessed  him  there. 

30  And  Jacob  called  the  name  of 
the  place  Peniel:  for  I  have  seen 
God  face  to  face,  and  my  life  is 
preserved. 

31  And  as  he  passed  over  Penuel 
the  sun  rose  upon  him,  and  he 
halted  upon  his  thigh. 

32  Therefore  the  children  of  Is- 
rael eat  not  of  the  sinew  which 
slirank,  which  is  upon  the  hollow 
of  the  thigh,  unto  this  day;  be- 
cause he  touched  the  hollow  of 
Jacob's  thigh. 

Jos.  5—13  When  Joshua  was  by 
Jericho,  there  stood  a  man  over 
against  him  with  his  sword  drawn 
in  his  hand:  and  Joshua  went, 
and  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  for 
us,  or  for  our  adversaries? 

14  And  he  said.  Nay;  but  as  cap- 
tain of  the  host  of  the  Lord  am  I 
now  come.  And  Joshua  fell  on 
his  face  to  the  earth,  and  did  wor- 
ship, and  said  unto  him.  What 
saitii  my  lord  unto  his  servant  ? 

15  And  the  captain  of  the  Lord's 
ho!3t  said  unto  Joshua,  Loose  thy 
shoe  from  off  thy  foot;  for  the 
place  whereon  thou  stand  est  is 
holy.    And  Joshua  did  so.    p.  406. 


Ju.  2—1  And  an  Angel  of  the 
Lord  came  up  from  Gflgal  to  Bo- 
chim,  and  said,  I  made  you  to  go 
up  out  of  Egypt,  and  have  brought 
you  unto  the  land  which  I  sware 
unto  your  fathers;  and  I  said,  I 
will  never  break  my  covenant 
with  you. 


493 


2  And  ye  shall  make  no  league 
with  the  inhabitants  of  this  land ; 
ye  shall  throw  down  their  altars: 
but  ye  have  not  obeyed  my  voice ; 
why  have  ye  done  this? 

3  Wherefore  I  also  said,  I  will 
not  drive  them  out  from  before 
you ;  but  they  shall  be  as  thorns 
in  your  sides,  and  their  gods  shall 
be  a  snare  unto  you. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
Angel  of  the  Lord  spake  these 
words  mito  all  the  children  of  Is- 
rael, that  the  people  lifted  up 
their  voice,  and  wept. 

5  And  they  called  the  name  of 
that  place  Bochim :  and  they  sac- 
rificed there  vuito  the  Lord. 

Ju.  6—11  And  there  came  an  an- 
gel of  the  Lord,  and  sat  under  an 
oak  which  was  in  Ophrah,  that 
pertained  unto  Joash :  and  his  son 
Gideon  threshed  wheat  by  the 
winepress,  to  hide  it  from  the 
Midiauites.  ^    , 

12  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him,  and  said  unto 
him.  The  Lord  is  with  thee,  thou 
mighty  man  of  valour.  . 

13  And  Gideon  said  unto  him,  O 
my  Lord,  if  the  Lord  be  with  us, 
why  then  is  all  this  befallen  us? 
and.  where  be  all  his  miracles 
which  our  fathers  told  us  of,  say- 
ing, Did  not  the  Lord  bring  us  up 
from  Egypt?  but  now  the  Lord 
hath  forsaKen  us,  and  delivered  us 
into  the  hands  of  the  Midianites. 

14  And  the  Lord  looked  upon 
him,  and  said.  Go  in  this  thy 
might,  and  thou  shalt  save  Israel 
from  the  hand  of  the  Midianites: 
have  not  I  sent  thee?    p.  120. 

17  And  he  said  unto  him,  If  now 
I  have  found  grace  in  thy  sight, 
then  shew  me  a  sign  that  thou 
talkest  with  me. 

18  Depart  not  hence,  I  pray  thee, 
until  I  come  unto  thee,  and  bring 
forth  my  present,  and  set  it  before 
thee.  And  he  said,  I  will  tarry 
until  thou  come  again. 

19  II  And  Gideon  went  in,  and 
made  ready  a  kid,  and  unleavened 
cakes  of  an  ephah  of  flour:  the 
flesh  he  put  in  a  basket,  and  he 
put  the  broth  in  a  pot,  and  brought 
it  out  unto  him  under  the  oak, 
and  presented  it.     ,     ,  ^    ,       . , 

20  And  the  angel  of  God  said 
unto  him.  Take  tlie  flesh  and  the 
unleavened  cakes,  and  lay  them 
upon  this  rock,  and  pour  out  the 
broth.    And  he  did  so. 


21  Then  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
put  forth  the  end  of  the  staff  that 
was  in  his  Ijand,  and  touched  the 
flesh  and  the  unleavened  cakes; 
and  there  rose  up  fire  out  of  the 
rock,  and  consumed  the  flesh  and 
the  unleavened  cakes.  Then  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  departed  out  of 
his  sight.  . 

22  And  when  Gideon  perceived 
that  he  was  an  angel  of  the  Lord, 
Gideon  said.  Alas,  O  Lord  God! 
for  because  I  have  seen  an  angel 
of  the  Lord  face  to  face. 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
Peace  be  unto  thee ;  fear  not :  thou 
shalt  not  die. 

36  And  Gideon  said  unto  God, 
If  thou  wilt  save  Israel  by  mine 
hand,  as  thou  hast  said, 

37  Behold,  I  will  put  a  fleece  of 
wool  in  the  floor ;  and  if  the  dew 
be  on  the  fleece  only,  and  it  be  dry 
upon  all  the  earth  besides,  then 
shall  I  know  that  thou  wilt  save 
Israel  by  mine  hand,  as  thou  hast 
said. 

38  And  it  was  so :  for  he  rose  up 
early  on  the  moiTOW,  and  thrust 
the  fleece  together,  and  wringed 
the  dew  out  of  the  fleece,  a  bowl 
full  of  water.  ^    ■,  t    ^ 

39  And  Gideon  said  unto  God,  Let 
not  thine  anger  be  hot  against  me, 
and  I  will  speak  but  this  once:  let 
me  prove,'!  pray  thee,  but  this  once 
with  the  fleece ;  let  it  now  be  dry 
only  upon  the  fleece,  and  upon 
all  the  ground  let  there  be  dew. 

40  And  God  did  so  that  night: 
for  it  was  dry  upon  the  fleece 
only,  and  there  was  dew  on  all 
the  ground.  , ,      ,      ,      • 

Je.  7—1  Then  Jenibbaal,  who  is 
Gideon,  and  the  people  that  were 
with  him,  rose  up  early,  and 
pitched  beside  the  well  of  Harod: 
so  that  the  host  of  the  Midianites 
were  on  the  north  side  of  them, 
by  the  hill  of  Moreh,  in  the  valley. 

2  And  the  Lord  said.  The  peo- 
ple that  are  with  thee  are  too 
many  for  me  to  give  the  Midian- 
ites into  their  hands,  lest  Israel 
vaunt  themselves  against  me,  say- 
iug.Mine  ownhand  hath  saved  me. 

3  Now  therefore  go  to,  proclaim 
in  the  ears  of  the  people,  saying. 
Whosoever  is  fearful  and  afraid, 
let  him  return  and  depart  early 
from  mount  Gilead.  And  there 
returned  of  the  people  twenty  and 
twothousand ;  andthere  remained 
ten  thousand. 


494 


4  And  the  Lord  said  uuto  Gid- 
eon, The  people  are  yet  too  many; 
bring  them  down  unto  the  water, 
and  I  will  try  them  for  thee  there : 
and  it  shall  be,  that  of  whom  I 
say  imto  thee.  This  shall  go  with 
thee,  the  same  shall  go  with  thee ; 
and  of  whomsoever  I  say  unto 
thee.  This  shall  not  go  with  thee, 
the  same  shall  not  go. 

5  So  he  brought  down  the  peo- 
ple unto  the  water:  and  the  Lord 
said  unto  Gideon,  Every  one  that 
lappeth  of  the  water  with  his 
tongue,  as  a  dog  lappeth,  him 
shaft  thou  set  by  himself;  like- 
wise everyone  that  boweth  down 
upon  his  knees  to  drink. 

6  And  the  number  of  them  that 
lapped,  putting  their  hand  to 
their  mouth,  were  three  hundred 
men:  but  all  the  rest  of  the  peo- 
ple bowed  down  upon  their  knees 
to  drink  water. 

7  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gid- 
eon, By  the  three  hundred  men 
that  lapped  will  I  save  you,  and 
deliver  the  Midianites  into  thine 
hand:  and  let  all  the  other  people 
go  every  man  unto  his  place. 

8  So  the  people  took  victuals  in 
their  hand,  and  their  trumpets: 
and  he  sent  all  the  rest  of  Israel 
every  man  unto  his  tent,  and  re- 
tained those  three  hundred  men: 
and  the  host  of  Midian  was  be- 
neath him  iu  the  valley. 

9  And  it  came  to  pass  the  same 
night,  that  the  Lord  said  uuto 
him,  Arise,  get  thee  down  unto 
the  host ;  for  I  have  delivered  it 
into  thine  hand. 

10  But  if  thou  fear  to  go  down, 
go  thou  with  Phurah  thy  servant 
down  to  the  host: 

11  And  thou  Shalt  hear  what 
they  say;  and  afterward  shall 
thine  hands  be  strengthened  to 
go  down  unto  the  host.  Then 
went  he  down  with  Phurah  his 
servant  uuto  the  outside  of  the 
armed  men  that  were  in  the  host. 

13  And  when  Gideon  was  come, 
behold,  there  was  a  man  that  told 
a  dream  unto  his  fellow,  and  said, 
I  dreamed  a  dream,  and,  lo,  a 
cake  of  barley  bread  tumbled 
into  the  host  of  Midian,  and  came 
unto  a  tent,  and  smote  it  that  it 
fell. 

14  And  his  fellow  answered  and 
said.  This  is  nothing  else  save  the 
sword  of  Gideon  the  son  of  Joash, 
a  man  of  Israel :  for  into  his  hand 
hath  God  delivered  Midian. 


15  And  it  was  so,  when  Gideon 
heard  thetellingof  the  dream.and 
the  interpretation  thereof,  that 
he  worshipped,  and  returned  into 
the  host  of  Israel,  and  said.  Arise ; 
for  the  Lord  hath  delivered  into 
your  hand  the  host  of  Midian. 

16  And  he  divided  the  three 
hundred  men  into  three  com- 
panies, and  he  put  a  trumpet  in 
every  man's  hand,  with  empty 
pitchers,  and  lamps  within  the 
pitchers. 

17  And  he  said  unto  them.  Look 
on  me,  and  do  likewise:  and,  be- 
hold, when  Icome  to  the  ttutside 
of  the  camp,  it  shall  be  that,  as  I 
do,  so  shall  ye  do. 

18  When  1  blow  with  a  truinp- 
et,  I  and  all  that  are  with  me, 
then  bloTv  ye  the  trumpets  also 
on  every  side  of  all  the  camp,  and 
say.  The  swoxd  of  the  Lord,  and 
of  Gideon. 

19  So  Gideon,  and  the  hundred 
men  that  were  with  him,  came 
unto  the  outside  of  the  camp  in 
the  beginning  of  the  middle 
watch;  and  they  had  but  newly 
set  the  watch:  and  they  blew  the 
trumpets,  and  brake  the  pitchers 
that  were  iu  their  hands. 

20  And  the  three  companies 
blew  the  trumpets,  and  brake  the 
pitchers,  and  held  the  lamps  in 
their  left  hands,  and  the  trumpets 
in  their  right  hands  to  blow 
withal :  and  they  cried.  The  sword 
of  the  Lord,  and  of  Gideon. 

21  And  they  stood  evei'y  man 
in  his  place  rouud  about  the 
camp:  and  all  the  host  ran,  and 
cried,  and  fled. 

22  And  the  three  hundred  blew 
the  trumpets,  and  the  Lord  set 
every  man's  sword  against  his  fel- 
low, even  throughout  all  the  host : 
and  the  host  fled. 

23  And  the  men  of  Israel  gath- 
ered themselves  together,  and 
pursued  after  the  Midianites. 

Ju.  8—4  And  Gideon  came  to 
Jordan,  and  passed  over,  he,  and 
the  three  hundred  men  that  were 
with  him,faint,  yet  pursuing  after 
Zebah  aud  Zalmunna,  kings  of 
Midian. 

10  Now  Zebah  and  Zalmunna 
were  in  Karkor.  and  their  hosts 
with  them,  about  fifteen  thou- 
sand men,  all  that  were  left  of  all 
the  hosts  of  the  children  of  the 
east ;  for  there  fell  a  hundred  and 
twenty  thousand  men  that  drey 
sword.

11  And  Gideou  went  up  by  the 
way  of  them  that  dwelt  m  tents 
on  the  euBt  of  Nobah  and  Jogbe- 
hah.  and  smote  the  host:  tor  the 
host  was  secure.  ■■   r,  , 

12  And  when  Zebah  and  Zal- 
muuna  tied,  he  pursued  alter 
them,  and  took  the  two  kmgs  of 
Midian,  Zebah  and  Zalmunna, 
and  discomfited  all  the  host. 

13  And  Gideon  the  son  ot  Joash 
returned  from  battle  before  the 
sun  was  up.  ^    ^i  e 

15  And  he  came  unto  the  men  ot 
Succoth,  ,     ,     ■    ,         .  ^, 

16  And  he  took  the  elders  of  the 
city,  and  thorns  of  the  wilderness, 
and  briers,  and  with  them  he 
taught  the  men  of  Succoth. 

17  And  he  beat  down  the  tower 
of  Penuel,  and  slew  the  men  ot 
the  city.  „  ,    ,       j 

18  Then  said  he  unto  Zebah  and 
Zalmunna.  What  manner  of  men 
were  they  whom  ye  slew  at  la- 
bor? And  tliey  answered  Asthou 
art,  so  were  they;  each  one  re- 
sembled the  children  of  a  king. 

19  And  he  said.  They  were  my 
brethren,  even  the  sons  of  my 
mother:  as  the  Lokd  liveth,  it  ye 
had  saved  them  alive,  I  would 
not  slay  you.  ^     t  .i      i,- 

20  And  he  said  unto  Jether  his 
firstborn.  Up.  and  slay  them.  But 
the  youth  drew  not  his  sword:  for 
he  feared,  because  he  was  yet  a 

^*2\  Then  Zebah  and  Zalmunna 
said.  Rise  thou,  and  fall  upon  us: 
for  as  the  man  is,  so  is  his  strength. 
And  Gideon  arose,  and  slew  Zebah 
and  Zalmunna.    p.  266. 

28  Thus  was  Midian  subdued 
before  the  children  of  Israel,  so 
that  they  lifted  up  their  heads  no 
more.  And  the  country  was  m 
quietness  forty  years  in  the  days 
of  Gideon.       ___ 


Ju.  13—2  And  there  was  a  certam 
man  of  Zorah,  of  the  family  of  the 
Dauites,  whose  name  was  Ma- 
noah;  and  his  wife  was  barren, 
and  bare  not.  .     ,    ,       t 

3  And  the  angeJ  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  the  woman,  and 
said  unto  her,  Behold  now,  tliou 
art  barren,  and  bearest  not:  but 
thou  Shalt  conceive,  and  bear  a 
son.  ,        ,  . 

4  Now  therefore  beware,  I  pray 
thee,  and  drink  not  wine  nor 
strong  drink,  and  eat  not  any  un- 
clean thing : 


5  For.  lo.  thou  Shalt  conceive, 
and  bear  a  sou ;  and  no  razor  shalL 
come  on  his  head:  for  the  child 
shall  be  a  Nazarite  unto  God  from 
the  womb:  and  he  shall  begin  ta 
deliver  Israel  out  of  the  hand  ot 
the  Philistines.  ,  ^, 

15  And  Manoah  said  unto  the 
angel  of  the  Lord.  I  pray  thee,  let 
us  detain  thee,  until  we  shall 
have  made  ready  a  kid  for  thee. 

16  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  Manoah.  Though  thou 
detain  me.  I  will  not  eat  of  thy 
bread:  and  if  thou  wilt  ofter  a 
bui'nt  offering,  thou  must  otter  it 
unto  the  Lord.  For  Manoah 
knew  not  that  he  was  an  angel  ot 

the  Lord.  ,        .  ■,        ^     ^-u 

17  And  Manoah  said  unto  the 
angel  of  the  Lord.  What  is  thy 
name,  that  when  thy  saymgscome 
to  pass  we  may  do  thee  honour? 

18  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
said  unto  him.  Why  askest  thou 
thus  after  my  name,  seemg  it  is 
secret?  ,      ■    .  ^     .^. 

19  8o  Manoah  took  a  kid  with  a 
meat  offering,  and  offered  it  upon 
a  rock  unto  the  Lord:  and  the 
angel  did  wondrously;  and  Ma- 
noah and  his  wife  looked  on. 

20  For  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
flame  went  up  toward  heaven 
from  off  the  altar,  that  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  ascended  in  the  tiame 
of  the  altar:  and  Manoah  and  his 
vfiie  looked  on  it.  and  fell  on  their 
faces  to  the  ground. 

21  But  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
did  no  more  aiipear  to  Manoah  and 
to  his  wife.  Then  Manoah  knew 
that  he  was  an  angel  of  the  Lord. 

22  And  Manoah  said  unto  his 
wife,  We  shall  sm-elydie.  because 
we  have  seen  God. 

23  But  his  wife  said  unto  him. 
If  the  Lord  were  pleased  to  kill. 
us,  he  would  not  have  recevyed  a^ 
burnt  offering  and  a  meat  offering- 
at  our  hands,  neither  would  he 
have  shewed  us  all  these  things, 
nor  would  as  at  this  time  have 
told  us  such  things  as  these. 

24  And  the  woman  bare  a  son, 
and  called  his  name  Samson:  and 
the  child  grew,  and  the  Lord 
blessed  him. 


JESUS  CHRIST  BEFORE  THE 
WORLD  WAS. 

Mi.  5—2  But  thou,  Beth-lehem 
Ephratah,  though  thou  be  lit*i® 
among  the  thousands  of  Judah, 


496 


yet  out  of  thee  shall  he  come  forth 
unto  me  that  is  to  be  ruler  in 
Israel;  whose  goings  forth  have 
been  from  of  old,  from  everlast- 
ing,   p.  481.     

Jno.  6—36  Fori  came  down  from 
heaven,  not  to  do  mine  own  will, 
but  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me. 

62  What  and  if  ye  shall  see  the 
Son  of  man  ascend  up  where  he 
was  before  ?    

Jno.  8—42  Jesus  said  unto  them. 
If  God  were  your  Father,  ye  would 
love  me :  for  Iproceeded  forth  and 
came  from  God;  neither  came  I 
of  myself,  but  he  sent  me. 

53  Art  thou  greater  than  our 
father  Abraham,  which  is  dead  ? 
and  the  prophets  are  dead:  whom 
makest  thou  thyself  ? 

54  Jesus  answered.  If  I  honour 
myself,  my  honour  is  nothing :  it  is 
my  Father  that  hououreth  me ;  of 
wnom  ye  say,  that  he  is  your  God : 

55  Yet  ye  have  not  known  him ; 
but  I  know  him:  and  if  1  should 
say,  I  know  him  not,  I  shall  be  a 
liar  like  unto  you:  but  1  know 
him,  and  keep  his  saying. 

56  Your  father  Abrahamrejoiced 
to  see  my  day :  and  he  saw  it,  and 
was  glad. 

57  Then  said  the  Jews  unto  him, 
Thou  art  not  yet  fifty  years  old, 
and  hast  thou  seen  Abraham  ? 

58  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you.  Before 
Abraham  was,  I  am. 

59  Then  took  they  up  stones  to 
cast  at  him :  but  Jesus  hid  him- 
self, and  went  out  of  the  temple, 
going  through  the  midst  of  them, 
and  so  passed  by. 


Jno.  17—5  And  now,  O  Father, 
glorify  thou  me  with  thine  own 
self  with  the  glory  which  I  had 
with  thee  before  the  world  was. 

24  Father,  I  will  that  they  also, 
whom  thou  hast  given  me,  be  with 
me  where  I  am ;  that  they  may  be- 
hold my  glory,  which  thou  hast 
given  me :  for  thou  lovedst  me  be- 
fore the  foundation  of  the  world. 


iPe.  1—18  Ye  were  not  redeemed 
with  corruptible  things, 

19  But  with  the  precious  blood 
of  Christ : 

20  Who  verily  was  foreordained 
before  the  foundation  of  the 
world. 


BIRTH  OF  JESUS  CHRIST. 

Mat.  1—18  Now  the  birth  of  Jesus 
Christ  was  on  this  wise:  When  as 
his  mother  Mary  was  espoused  to 
Joseph,  before  they  came  to- 
gether, she  was  found  with  child 
of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

19  Then  Joseph  her  husband, 
being  a  just  man,  and  not  willing 
to  make  her  a  public  example, 
was  minded  to  put  her  away 
privily. 

•20  But  while  he  thought  on  these 
things,  behold,  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  appeared  unto  him  in  a 
dream,  saying,  Joseph,  thou  son 
of  David,  fear  not  to  take  unto 
thee  Mary  thy  wife:  for  that 
which  is  conceived  in  her  is  of 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

21  And  she  shall  bring  forth  a 
son,  and  thou  shalt  call  his  name 
JESUS:  for  he  shall  save  his  peo- 
ple from  their  sins. 

22  Now  all  this  was  done,  that 
it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was 
spoken  of  the  Lord  by  the  prophet, 
saying, 

23  Behold,  a  virgin  shall  be  with 
child,  and  shall  bring  forth  a  son, 
and  they  shall  call  his  name  Em- 
manuel, which  being  interpreted 
is,  God  with  us.    Is.  7. 14,  p.  468. 

24  Then  Joseph  being  raised 
from  sleep  did  as  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  had  bidden  him,  and  took 
unto  him  his  wife: 

25  And  knew  her  not  till  she  had 
brought  forth  her  hrstboni  son: 
and  he  called  his  name  JESUS. 

Mat.  2—1  Now  when  Jesus  was 
born  in  Bethlehem  of  Judea  in 
the  days  of  Herod  the  king,  be- 
hold, there  came  wise  men  from 
the  east  to  Jerusalem, 

2  Saying,  Where  is  he  that  is 
bom  King  of  the  Jews  ?  for  we 
have  seen  his  star  in  the  east,  and 
are  come  to  worship  him. 

3  When  Herod  the  king  had 
heard  these  things,  he  was  trou- 
bled, and  all  Jerusalem  with  him. 

4  And  when  he  had  gathered  all 
the  chief  priests  and  scribes  of  the 
people  together,  he  demanded  of 
them  where  Christ  shoxild  be 
bom. 

5  And  they  said  unto  him.  In 
Bethlehem  of  Judea:  for  thus  it 
is  written  by  the  prophet, 

6  And  thou  Bethlehem,  in  the 
land  of  Juda,  art  not  the  least 
among  the  princes  of  Juda:  for 


497 


out  of  thee  shall  come  a  Governor, 
that  shall  rule  my  people  Israel. 
Ml.  5.  2,  p.  481. 

7  Then  Herod,  when  he  had  priv- 
ily called  the  wise  men,  inquired 
of  them  diligently  what  time  the 
star  appeared. 

8  And  he  sent  them  to  Bethle- 
hem, and  said.  Go  and  search  dili- 
gently for  the  young  child :  and 
when  ye  have  found  him,  bring 
me  word  again,  that  I  may  come 
and  worship  him  also. 

»When  they  had  heard  the  king, 
they  departed ;  and,  lo,  the  star, 
which  they  saw  in  the  east,  went 
before  them,  till  it  came  and  stood 
over  where  the  young  child  was. 

10  When  they  saw  tne  star,  they 
rejoiced  with  exceeding  great  joy. 

11 H  And  when  they  were  come 
into  the  house,  they  saw  the  young 
child  with  Mary  his  mother,  and 
fell  down,  and  worshipped  him: 
and  when  they  had  opened  their 
treasures,  theypresented  unto  him 
gifts;  gold,  and  frankincense,  and 
myrrh. 

12  And  being  warned  of  God  in 
a  dream  that  they  should  not  re- 
turn to  Herod,  they  departed  into 
their  own  country  another  way. 

ISAnd  when  they  were  departed, 
behold,  the  angel  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peareth  to  .Joseph  in  a  dream,  say- 
mg.  Arise,  and  take  the  young 
child  and  his  mother,  and  flee  into 
Egypt,  and  be  thou  there  imtil  I 
bring  thee  word:  for  Herod  will 
seek  the  young  child  to  destroy 
him. 

14  When  he  arose,  he  took  the 
young  child  and  his  mother  by 
night,  and  departed  into  Egypt : 

15  And  was  there  until  the  death 
of  Herod:  that  it  might  be  ful- 
filled which  was  spoken  of  the 
Lord  by  the  prophet,  saying,  Out 
of  Egypt  have  I  called  my  sou. 
(vis.  16-18  and  Je.  31. 15-17,  p.  203.) 

19  But  when  Herod  was  dead, 
behold,  an  angel  of  the  Lord  ap- 
peareth  in  a  dream  to  Joseph  m 
Egypt.   . 

20  baymg.  Arise,  and  take  the 
young  child  and  his  mother,  and 
go  into  the  land  of  Israel :  for  they 
are  dead  which  sought  the  young 
child's  life. 

21  And  he  arose,  and  took  the 
young  child  and  his  mother,  and 
came  into  the  land  of  Israel. 

22  But  when  he  heard  that  Ar- 
chelaus  did  reign  in  Judea  in  the 


room  of  his  father  Herod,  he  was 
afraid  to  go  thither:  notwith- 
standing, being  warned  of  God  in 
a  dream,  he  turned  aside  into  the 
parts  of  Galilee: 

23  And  he  came  and  dwelt  in  a, 
city  called  Nazareth :  that  itmight 
be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by 
the  prophets.  He  shall  be  called  a, 
Nazarene. 

Lu.  1—26  And  in  the  sixth  month 
the  angel  Gabriel  was  sent  from 
God  unto  a  city  of  Galilee,  named 
Nazareth, 

27  To  a  virgin  espoused  to  a  man 
whose  name  was  Joseph,  of  the 
house  of  David ;  and  the  vii'gin's 
name  was  Mary. 

28  And  the  angel  came,  and 
said.  Hail,  that  thou  art  highly 
favoured,  the  Lord  is  with  thee: 
blessed  art  thou  among  women. 

29  And  when  she  saw  him,  she 
was  troubled  at  his  saying,  and 
cast  in  her  mind  what  manner  of 
salutation  this  should  be. 

30  And  the  angel  said  unto  her. 
Fear  not.  Mary:  for  thou  hast 
found  favour  with  God. 

31  And,  behold,  thou  shalt  con- 
ceive in  thy  womb,  and  bring 
forth  a  son,  and  shalt  call  his 
name  JESUS.    Is.  9.  6,  p.  468. 

32  He  shall  be  great,  and  shall  be 
called  the  Son  of  the  Highest ;  and 
the  Lord  God  shall  give  unto  him 
the  throne  of  his  father  David : 

33  And  he  shall  reign  over  the 
house  of  Jacob  for  ever:  and  of 
his  kingdom  there  shall  be  no 
end. 

34  Then  said  Mary  unto  the  an- 
gel. How  shall  this  be,  seehig  I 
know  not  a  man? 

35  And  the  angel  answered  and 
said  unto  her.  The  Holy  Ghost 
shall  come  upon  thee,  and  the 
power  of  the  Highest  shall  over- 
shadow thee :  therefore  also  that 
holy  thing  which  shall  be  bom  of 
thee  shall  be  called  the  Son  of 
God. 

36  And,  behold,  thy  cousin  Elisa- 
beth, she  hath  also  conceived  a 
son  in  her  old  age ;  and  this  is  the 
sixth  month  with  her.  who  was 
called  barren. 

37  For  with  God  nothing  shall 
be  impossible. 

38  And  Mary  said.  Behold  the 
handmaid  of  the  Lord ;  be  it  unto 
me  according  to  thy  word.  And 
the  angel  departed  from  her.  p. 
501.

Lu.  2—1  And  it  came  to  pass  in 
those  days,  that  there  went  out  a 
decree  from  Cesar  Aixgiistus,  that 
all  the  world  should  be  taxed. 

•2  CAnd  this  taxing  was  first  made 
when  Cyrenius  was  governor  of 
Syria.) 

3  And  all  went  to  be  taxed,  eyery 
one  into  his  own  city. 

4  And  Joseph  also  went  up  from 
Galilee,  out  of  the  city  of  Nazar- 
eth, into  Judea,  unto  the  city  of 
David,  which  is  called  Bethle- 
hem, (;because  he  was  of  the  house 
and  lineage  of  David,) 

5  To  be  taxed  with  Mary  his 
espoused  wife,  being  great  with 
child.  ,  ,  .,     , 

6  And  so  it  was,  that,  while  they 
-were  there,  the  days  were  accom- 
plished that  she  should  be  deliv- 
ered. ,     '     . 

7  And  she  brought  forth  her 
firstborn  sou,  and  wrapped  him  in 
swaddling  clothes,  and  laid  him 
in  a  manger ;  because  there  was  no 
room  for  them  in  the  inn. 

8  And  there  were  in  the  same 
country  shepherds  abiding  in  the 
field,  keeping  watch  over  their 
tiock  by  night.  ,   ,     ^      ■, 

9  And,  lo,  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  them,  and  the  glory  of 
the  Lord  shone  round  about  them ; 
and  they  were  sore  afraid. 

10  And  the  angel  said  unto  them. 
Fear  not:  for,  behold,  I  bring  you 
good  tidings  of  great  joy,  which 
shall  be  to  all  people.  . 

11  For  unto  you  is  bom  this  day 
in  the  city  of  David  a  Saviour, 
which  is  Christ  the  Lord. 

12  And  this  shall  be  a  sign  unto 
you;  Ye  shall  find  the  babe  wrap- 
ped in  swaddluig  clothes,  lying  in 
a  manger. 

13  And  suddenly  there  was  with 
the  angel  a  multitude  of  the  heav- 
enly host  praising  God,  and  say- 
ing, 

14  Glory  to  God  in  the  highest, 
and  on  earth  peace,  good  will  to- 
ward men. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the 
angels  were  gone  away  from  them 
into  heaven,  the  shepherds  said 
one  to  another.  Let  us  n6w  go 
even  unto  Bethlehem,  and  see 
this  thing  which  is  come  to  pass, 
which  the  Lord  hath  madeknown 

unto  ug.  .  ,    ,  \^ 

16  And  they  came  with  haste, 
and  found  Mary  and  Joseph,  and 
the  babe  lying  in  a  manger. 


17  And  when  they  had  seen  it, 
theymade  known  abroad  the  say- 
ing which  was  told  them  concern- 
ing this  child. 

18  And  all  they  that  heard  it 
wondered  at  those  things  which 
were  told  them  by  the  shepherds. 

19  But  Mary  kept  all  these  things, 
and  pondered  them,  in  her  heart. 

20  And  the  shepherds  returned, 
glorifying  and  praising  God  for  all 
the  things  that  they  had  heard 
and  seen,  as  it  was  told  unto 
them. 

21  And  when  eight  days  were 
accomplished  for  the  circumcismg 
of  tlie  child,  his  name  was  called 
JESUS,  which  was  so  named  of 
the  angel  before  he  was  conceived 
in  the  womb. 

22  And  when  the  days  of  her 
purification  according  to  the  law 
of  Moses  were  accomplished,  they 
brought  him  to  Jerusalem,  to  pre- 
sent him  to  the  Lord ; 

23  (As  it  is  written  in  the  law  of 
the  Lord,  Every  male  that  openeth 
the  womb  shall  be  called  holy  to 
the  Lord.)    Ex.  13.  2,  p.  25. 

39  And  when  they  had  performed 
all  things  according  to  the  law  of 
the  Lord,  they  returned  into  Gali- 
lee, to  their  own  city  Nazareth. 

40  And  the  child  grew,  and 
waxed  strong  in  spirit,  filled  with 
wisdom;  and  the  grace  of  God 
was  upon  him. 

41  Now  his  parents  went  to  Je- 
rusalerh  every  year  at  the  feast  of 
the  passover. 

42  And  when  he  wast;welve  years 
old,  they  went  up, to  Jerusalem 
after  the  custom  of  the  feast. 

43  And  when  they  had  fulfilled 
the  days,  as  they  returned,  the 
child  Jesus  tarried  behiud  m  Je- 
rusalem; and  Joseph  and  his 
mother  knew  not  of  it. 

44  But  they,  supposing  him  to 
have  been  in  the  company,  went 
a  day's  journey;  and  they  sought 
him  among  their  kinsfolk  and  ac- 
quaintance. ,   ,  . 

45  And  when  they  found  him 
not,  they  turned  back  again  to 
Jerusalem,  seeking  him. , 

46  And  it  came  to  pass,  that 
after  three  days  they  found  him 
in  the  temple,  sitting  in  the  midst 
of  the  doctors,  both  heartagthem, 
and  asking  them  questions. 

47  And  all  that  heard  him  were 
astonished  at  his  understanding 
and  answers.    '

48  And  wheu  they  saw  him,  they 
were  amazed:  audhismothersaid 
uutohim,  Son,  why  hast  thoutlius 
dealt  with  us?  behold,  thy  father 
and  I  have  sought  thee  sorrowing. 

49  And  he  said  unto  them.  How 
is  it  that  ye  sought  me?  wist  ye 
not  that  I  must  be  about  my  Fa- 
ther's business? 

50  And  they  understood  not  the 
saying  which  he  spake  unto  them . 

51  And  he  weut  down  with 
them,  and  came  to  Nazareth,  and 
was  subject  unto  them:  but  his 
mother  kept  all  these  sayings  in 
her  heart. 

52  And  JesuS;  increased  in  wis- 
dom and  stature,  and  .in  favour 
with  God  and  man. 

Genealogy  of  Jesus  Christ  by 
Matthew  and  Luke.  You  will  see 
that  these  two  writers  differ  very 
materially  in  tracing  up  the  gen- 
ealogy of  Christ ;  yet  neither  one 
of  them  explain  why  they  say, 
God  was  the  father  of  Jesus 
Christ  (Mat.  1.  18-20  and  Lu.  l. 
32,  35,  p.  496,  497),  and  then  trace 
his  genealogy  back  from  Joseph, 
who  was  not  his  father.  Other 
writers  say,  Jesus  Christ  the  son 
of  David,  and  also  the  Scribes 
and  Pharisees  called  him  the  son 
of  David,  and  Christ  questioned 
them  for  so  doing ;  for  he  himself 
said.  He  was  the  son  of  God.  See 
the  following  and  Mar.  14.  61-62 
and  Jno.  10.  36,  p.  514,  109.  The 
prophets  wrote  about  the  coming 
of  Christ,  or  at  least  the  one  who 
was  to  come  and  rule  over  Israel, 
as  the  branch.  "  I  will  raise  unto 
David  a  righteous  branch,  and  a 
king  shall  reign  and  prosper," 
Je.  23.  5  following ;  and  also  "  Da- 
vid my  servant  shall  be  king  over 
them."  Eze.  37. 24,  p.  479.  See  also 
first  coming  of  Christ,  p.  467,  etc.

aud  Amou  begat  Josias; 

11  And  Josias  begat  Jechonias 
and  his  brethren,  about  the  time 
they  were  carried  away  to  Baby- 
lon: 

12  And  after  they  were  brought 
to  Babylon,  Jechoni.as  begat  Sala- 
thiel ;  and  Salathiel  begat  Zorob- 
abel : 

13  And  Zorobabel  begat  Abiud ;

Matthan  begat  Jacob ; 

16  And  Jacob  begat  Joseph  the 
husband  of  Mary,  of  whom  was 
bom  Jesus,  who  is  called  Christ. 

17  So  all  the  generations  from 
Abraham  to  David  are  fourteen 
generations ;  and  from  David  un- 
til the  carrying  away  mto  Baby- 
lon are  fourteen  generations;  and 
from  the  carrying  away  into 
Babylon  unto  Christ  are  fourteeu 
generations.

Ac.  13—22  And  the  Lord  raised 
up  unto  them  David  to  be  their 
king ;  to  whom  also  he  gave  testi- 
mony,  and   said,  I  have    found 


ke.  22—16 1  Jesus  have  sent  mine 
angel  to  testify  unto  you  these 
things  in  the  churches.  I  am  the 
root  and  the  offspring  of  David, 
and  the  bright  and  morning  star. 

Mat.  22—41  While  the  Pharisees 
were  gathered  together,  Jesus 
asked  them, 

42  Saying,  What  think  ye  of 
Christ?  whose  sou  is  he?  They 
say  unto  him.  The  son  of  David. 

43  He  saith  unto  them,  How 
then  doth  David  in  spirit  call 
him  Lord,  saying. 

44  The  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand,  till  I 
make  thine  enemies  thy  foot- 
stool? 

45  If  David  then  called  him 
Lord,  how  is  he  his  son? 

46  And  no  man  was  able  to  an- 
swer him  a  word,  neither  durst 
any  man  from  that  day  forth  ask 
him  any  more  questions. 

Mar.  12—35  And  Jesus  answered 
and  said,  while  he  taught  in  the 
temple,  How  say  the  scribes  that 
Christ  is  the  son  of  David? 

36  For  David  himself  said  by 
the  Holy  Ghost,  The  Lord  said  to 
my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my  right 
hand,  till  I  make  thine  enemies 
thy  footstool. 

37  David  therefore  himself  call- 
eth  him  Lord ;  and  whence  is  he 
then  his  son?  And  the  common 
people  heard  him  gladly. 

Lu.  20—41  And  he  said  unto 
them.  How  say  they  that  Christ 
is  David's  son? 

42  And  David  himself  saith  in 
the  book  of  Psalms,  The  Lord 
said  unto  my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on 
my  right  hand, 

43  lill  I  make  thine  enemies 
thv  footstool . 

44  David  therefore  calleth  him 
Lord,  how  is  he  then  his  son? 


501 


Ps.  110—1  The  Lord  said  unto 
my  Lord,  Sit  thou  at  my  right 
hand,  until  I  make  thine  enemies 
thy  footstool. 

2  The  Lord  shall  send  the  rod 
of  thy  strength  out  of  Zion:  rule 
thouiu  themidst  of  thine  enemies. 

3  Thy  people  shall  be  willing  in 
the  day  of  tny  power,  in  the  beau- 
ties of  holiness  from  the  womb  of 
the  morning:  thou  hast  the  dew 
of  thy  youth. 

4  The  Lord  hath  sworn,  and 
will  not  repent.  Thou  art  a  priest 
for  ever  after  the  order  of  Mel- 
chizedek.    p.  223. 

5  The  Lord  at  thy  right  hand 
shall  strike  through  kings  in  the 
day  of  his  wrath. 

6  He  shall  judge  among  the  hea- 
then, he  shall  fill  the  places  with 
the  dead  bodies;  he  shall  wound 
the  heads  over  many  countries. 

7  He  shall  drink  of  the  brook  in 
the  way :  therefore  shall  he  lift  up 
the  head.        

Je.  23—5  Behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  raise 
unto  David  a  righteous  Branch, 
and  a  King  shall  reign  and  pros- 
per, and  shall  execute  judgment 
and  justice  in  the  earth. 

Birth  of  Johnthe  Baptist,  Christ's 
second  cousin,  see  Lu.  1.  26,  p.  497. 

Lu.  1—5  There  was  in  the  days 
of  Herod,  the  king  of  Judea,  a 
certain  priest  named  Zacharias, 
of  the  course  of  Abia :  and  his  wife 
was  of  the  daughters  of  Aaron, 
and  her  name  was  Elisabeth. 

7  And  they  had  no  child,  be- 
cause that  Elisabeth  was  barren ; 
and  they  both  were  now  well 
stricken  in  years. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while 
he  executed  the  priest's  oihce  be- 
fore God  in  the  order  of  his  course, 

11  There  appeared  mito  him  an 
angel  of  the  Lord  standing  on  the 
rignt  side  of  the  altar  of  in- 
cense. 

12  And  when  Zacharias  saw  him, 
he  was  troubled,  and  fear  fell  up- 
on him. 

13  But  the  angel  said  imto  him. 
Fear  not,  Zacharias:  for  thy 
prayer  is  heard;  and  thy  wife 
Elisabeth  shall  bear  thee  a  son, 
and  thou  shalt  call  his  name 
John. 


14  And  thou  shalt  have  joy  and 
gladness;  and  many  shall  rejoice 
at  his  birth. 

15  For  he  shall  be  great  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  and  shall  drink 
neither  wine  nor  strong  drink ; 
and  heshall  be  tilled  with  the  Holy 
Ghost,  even  from  his  mother's 
womb. 

16  And  many  of  the  children  of 
Israel  shall  he  turn  to  the  Lord 
their  God. 

17  And  he  shall  go  before  him  in 
the  spirit  and  power  of  Elias,  to 
turn  the  hearts  of  the  fathers  to 
the  children,  and  the  disobedient 
to  the  wisdom  of  the  just;  to 
make  ready  a  people  prepared  for 
the  Lord. 

18  And  Zacharias  said  unto  the 
angel.  Whereby  shall  I  know  this? 
for  I  am  an  old  man,  and  my  wife 
well  stricken  in  years. 

19  And  the  angel  answering  said 
unto  him,  I  am  Gabriel,  that  stand 
in  the  presence  of  God;  and  am 
sent  to  speak  unto  thee,  and  to 
shew  thee  these  glad  tidings. 

20  And.  behold,  thou  shalt  be 
dumb,  and  not  able  to  speak,  un- 
til the  day  that  these  things  shall 
be  performed,  because  thou  be- 
lie vest  not  my  words,  which  shall 
be  fulfilled  in  their  season. 

24  And  after  those  days  his  wife 
Elisabeth  conceived,  and  hid  her- 
self tive  months,  saying, 

25  Thus  hath  the  Lord  dealt  with 
me  in  the  days  wherein  he  looked 
on  me,  to  take  away  my  reproach 
among  men.    p.  497. 

39  And  Mary  arose  in  those  days, 
and  went  into  the  hill  country 
with  haste,  into  a  city  of  Juda; 

40  And  entered  into  the  house  of 
Zacharias,  and  saluted  Elisabeth. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
when  Elisabeth  heard  the  saluta- 
tion of  Mary,  the  babe  leaped  in 
her  womb;  and  Elisabeth  was 
filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost: 

56  And  Mary  abode  with  her 
about  three  months,  and  returned 
to  her  own  house. 

57  Now  Elisabeth's  full  time 
came  that  shcishould  be'delivered ; 
and  she  brought  forth  a  son. 

59  And  on  the  eighth  day  they 
came  to  circumcise  the  child ;  and 
they  called  him  Zacharias,  after 
the  name  of  his  father. 

60  And  his  mother  answered  and 
said.  Not  so ;  but  he  shall  be  called 
John. 


502 


62  And  they  made  signs  to  his 
father,  how  he  would  have  him 
called. 

63  And  he  asked  for  a  writing 
table,  and  wrote,  saying.His name 
is  John.    And  they  marvelled  all. 

64  And  his  mouth  was  opened 
immediately,  and  his  tongue 
loosed,  and  he  spake,  and  praised 
God. 

80  And  the  child  grew,  and 
waxed  strong  in  spirit,  and  was 
in  the  deserts  till  the  day  of  his 
shewing  unto  Israel.  ■ 

John  the  Baptist  said  to  tie 
Elias  by  Christ.  John  himself  said 
he  was  not  Elias,— Elijah. 

Mat.  11—2  Now  when  John  had 
heard  in  the  prison  the  works  of 
Christ,  he  sent  two  of  his  disciples, 

3  And  said  unto  him.  Art  thou 
he  that  should  come,  or  do  we 
look  for  another  ? 

4  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Go  and 
shew  John  again  those  things 
which  ye  do  hear  and  see: 

5  The  blind  receive  their  sight, 
and  the  lame  walk,  the  lepers  are 
cleansed,  and  the  deaf  hear,  the 
dead  are  raised  up,  and  the  poor 
have  the  gospel  preached  to  them. 

6  And  blessed  is  he,  whosoever 
shall  not  be  offended  m  me. 

7  And  as  they  departed,  Jesus 
began  to  say  unto  the  multitudes 
concerning  John,  Wliat  went  ye 
out  into  the  wilderness  to  see  ?  A 
reed  shaken  with  the  wind  ? 

8  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to 
see  ?  A  man  clothed  in  soft  rai- 
ment ?  behold,  they  that  wearsof  t 
clothing  are  in  kings'  houses. 

9  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to 
see  ?  A  prophet  ?  yea,  I  say  unto 
you,  and  more  than  a  prophet. 

10  For  this  is  he,  of  whom  it  is 
written.  Behold.  I  send  my  mes- 
sengerbefore  thy  face, which  shall 
prepare  thy  way  before  thee.  See 
Mai.  3. 1,  p.  486. 

11  Verily  1  say  unto  you,  Among 
them  that  are  bom  of  women 
there  hath  not  risen  a  gi'eater 
than  John  the  Baptist:  notwith- 
standing, he  that  is  least  in  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  greater 
than  he. 

12  And  from  the  days  of  John 
the  Baptist  until  now  the  king- 
dom of  heaven  suffereth  violence, 
and  the  violent  take  it  by  force. 

13  For  all  the  prophets  and  the 
law  prophesied  until  John. 


14  And  if  ye  will  receive  it.  this 
is  Elias,  which  was  for  to  come. 

Mai.  4—5  Behold,  I  will  send  you 
Elijah  the  prophet  before  the 
coming  of  the  gi'eat  and  dreadful 
day  of  the  Lord.    p.  487. 

Mat.  17—10  And  his  disciples 
asked  him.  Why  then  say  the 
scribes  that  Eliasmust  first  come  ? 

11  And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
milo  them,  Elias  truly  shall  first 
come,  and  restore  all  things. 

12  But  I  say.  That  Elias  is  come 
already,  and  they  knew  him  no.t, 
but  have  done  unto  him  whatso- 
ever they  listed.  Likewise  shall 
also  the  Son  of  man  sufferof  them . 

13  Then  the  disciples  understood 
that  he  spake  unto  them  of  John 
the  Baptist. 

Jno.l— 19  And  thisisthe  recordof 
John,  when  the  Jews  sent  priests 
and  Levites  from  Jeru.salem  to  ask 
him,  Who  art  thou  ? 

20  And  he  confessed,  and  denied 
not;  but  confessed,  I  am  not  the 
Christ. 

21  And  they  asked  him.  What 
then  ?  Art  thou  Elias  ?  And  he 
saith,  I  am  not.  Art  thou  that 
Prophet  ?    And  he  answered.  No. 

22  Then  said  they  mito him, Who 
art  thou  ?  that  we  may  give  an 
answer  to  them  that  sent  us. 

23  He  said,  I  am  the  voice  of  one 
crying  in  the  wilderness.  Make 
straight  the  way  of  the  Lord,  as 
said  the  prophet  Esaias. 

Is.  40—3  The  voice  of  him  that 
crieth  in  the  wilderness.  Prepare 
ye  the  way  of  the  Lord,  make 
straight  in  the  desert  a  highway 
for  our  God.    Mat.  3,  p.  27. 

4  Every  valley  shall  be  exalted, 
and  every  mountain  and  hill  shall 
be  made  low:  and  the  crooked 
shall  be  made  straight,  and  the 
rough  places  plain: 

5  And  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
shall  be  revealed,  and  all  flesh 
shall  see  it  together :  forthe  mouth 
of  theLoRD  hath  spoken  it.    p.  113. 

DEATH   OF  JOHN  THE  BAP- 
TIST. 

Mar.  6—17  For  Herod  himself 
had  sent  forth  and  laid  hold  upon 
John,  and  bound  him  in  prison  for 
Herodias'  sake,his  brother  Philip's 
wife ;  for  he  had  married  her. 

18  For  John  had  said  unto  Herod, 
It  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  have 
thy  brother's  wife. 


503 


la  Therefore  Herodiiis  had  a 
(lUiUTel;  agaiust  him,  and  would 
have  killed  him;  but  she  could 
not : 

20  For  Herod  feared  John,  know- 
ing- that  he  was  p,  just  man  and 
a  holy,  and  observed  him ;  and 
when  he  heard  him,  he  did  many 
things,  and  heard  him  gladly. 

21  And  when  a  convenient  day 
was  come,  that  Herod  on  his  birth- 
day made  a  supper  to  his  lords, 
high  captains,  and  chief  estates  of 
Galilee; 

22  And  when  the  daughter  of  the 
said  Herodias  came  in,  and 
danced,  and  pleased  Herod  and 
them  that  sat  with  him,  the  king 
said  unto  the  damsel.  Ask  of  me 
whatsoever  thou  wilt,  and  I  will 
give  it  thee. 

23  And  he  sware  unto  her,  What- 
soever thou  Shalt  ask  of  me,  I  will 
give  it  thee,  unto  the  half  of  my 
kingdom. 

24  And  she  went  forth,  and  said 
untoher  mother,  Whatshall  I  ask? 
And  she  said,  The  head  of  John 
the  Baptist. 

2.5  And  she  came  in  straightway 
with  haste  unto  the  king,  ana 
asked,  saying,  I  will  that  thou 
give  me  by  and  by  in  a  charger 
the  head  of  John  the  Baptist. 

26  And  the  king  was  exceeding 
sorry ;  yet  for  his  oath's  sake,  and 
fur  their  sakes  which  sat  with  him , 
he  would  not  reject  her. 

27  And  immediately  the  king 
sent  an  executioner,  and  com- 
manded his  head  to  be  lirougbt: 
and  he  went  and  beheaded  him  in 
the  prison, 

28  And  brought  his  head  in  a 
chargei-,  and  gave  it  to  the  dam- 
sel ;  and  the  damsel  gave  it  to  her 
mother. 

29  And  when  his  disciples  heard 
of  it,  they  came  and  took  up  his 
corpse,  and  laid  it  in  a  tomb.

AFTER  HIS  ASCENSION. 


Ac.  7—55  Stephen,  being  full  of 
the  Holy  Ghost,  looked  up  stead- 
fastly into  heaven,  and  saw  the 
glory  of  God,  and  Jesus  standing 
on  the  right  hand  of  God, 

56  And  said.  Behold,  I  see  the 
heavens  opened,  and  the  Son  of 
man  standing  on  the  right  hand 
of  God. 

Ac.  18—9  Then  spake  the  Lord  to 
Paul  in  the  night  by  a  vision.  Be 
not  afraid,  but  speak,  and  hold  not 
thy  pea«e. 

Ac.  27—23  There  stood  by  me  this 
night  the  angel  of  God, 

24  Saying,  Fear  not.  Paul;  thou 
must  fee  brought  before  Cesar. 
See  also  Ac.  9. 4,  5,  p.  526  and  Re.  1.

Christ's  seinnon  'in  tiie  syna- 
gogue in  Nazareth,  whei'e  th'e  Jews 
tried  to  kill  him. 


Lu.  4—14  And  Jesus  returned  in 
the  power  of  the  Spirit  into  Gal- 
lilee :  and  there  went  out  a  fame 
of  him  through  all  the  region 
round  about. 

15  And  he  taught  in  their  syna- 
gogues, being  glorified  of  all. 

16  And  he  came  to  Nazareth, 
where  he  had  been  brought  up: 
and,  as  his  custom  was.  he  went 
into  the  synagogue  on  the  sabbath 
day,  and  stood  up  for  to  read. 

17  And  there  was  delivered  unto 
him  the  book  of  the  prophet 
Esaias.  And  when  he  had  opened 
the  book, he  found  the  place  where 
it  was  written, 

18  The  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is  upon 
me,  because  he  hath  anointed  me 
to  preach  the  gospel  to  the  poor ; 
he  hath  seut  me  to  heal  the 
brokenhearted,  to  preach  deliver- 
ance to  the  captives,  and  recover- 
ing of  sight  to  the  blind,  to  set  at 
liberty  them  that  are  bniised, 

19  To  preach  the  acceptable  year 
of  the  Lord.    Is.  ci,  p.  473. 

20  And  he  closed  the  book,  and 
he  gave  it  again  to  the  minister, 
and  sat  down.  And  the  eyes  of  all 
them  that  were  in  the  synagogue 
were  fastened  on  him. 

21  And  he  began  to  say  unto 
them.  This  day  is  this  Scripture 
fulfilled  in  your  ears. 

22  And  all  bare  him  witness,  and 
wondered  at  the  gracious  words 
which  proceeded  out  of  his  mouth. 
And  they  said.  Isiiot  this  Joseph's 
sou  ? 

23  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye 
will  surely  say  unto  me  this  prov- 
erb.Physician,  heal  thyself:  what- 
soever we  have  heard  done  iu 
Capernaum,  do  also  here  in  thy 
country. 

24  And  he  said.  Verily  I  say  un- 
to you.  No  prophet  is  accepted  in 
his  own  comitry. 

25  But  I  tell  you  of  a  truth,  many 
widows  were  iu  Israel  iu  the  days 
of  Elias,  when  the  heaven  was 
shut  up  three  years  and  six 
months,  when  great  famine  was 
thi-oughout  all  the  laiid ; 

2G  But  imto  none  of  them  was 
Elias  sent,  save  iinto  Sarepta.  a 
city  of  Sidon.  unto  a  woman  that 
was  a  widow,    l  Ki.  17.  9,  p.  83. 

27  And  many  lepers  were  in  Js- 
rael  in  the  time  of  Eliseus  the 
prophet;  and  none  of  them  wa.s 
cleansefd,  saving  Naaman  the  Sy- 
rian.   2  Ki.  5,  p.  395. 


507 


28  And  all  they  in  the  syna- 
gogue, when  they  heard  these 
things,  were  tilled  with  wrath. 

29  And  rose  up.  and  thrust  him 
out  of  the  city,  and  led  him  unto 
the  brow  of  the  hill  whereon 
their  city  was  built,  that  they 
might  cast  him  down  headlong. 

30  But  he,  passing  through  the 
midst  of  them,  went  his  way. 

31  And  came  down  to  Caperna- 
um, a  city  of  Galilee,  and  taught 
them  on  the  sabbath  days. 

32  And  they  were  astonished  at 
his  doctrine:  for  his  word  was 
with  power. 

JESUS  THE  BREAD  OF  LIFE. 

Jno.  6—31  Our  fathers  did  eat 
manna  in  the  desert ;  as  it  is  writ- 
ten. He  gave  them  bread  from 
heaven  to  eat. 

32  Then  Jesus  said.  Verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  Moses  gave  you  not  that 
bread  from  heaven;  but  my  Fa- 
ther giveth  you  the  true  bread 
from  heaven. 

33  For  the  bread  of  God  is  he 
which  cometh  down  from  heaven, 
and  giveth  life  unto  the  world. 

34  TJ^en  said  they  unto  him. 
Lord,  evermore  give  us  this  bread. 

35  And  Jesus  said  unto  them, 
I  am  the  bread  of  life:  he  that 
cometh  to  me  shall  never  hunger : 
and  he  that  beiievethon  me  shall 
never  thirst,    p.  248. 

41  The  Jews  then  murmured  at 
him.  because  he  said,  I  am  the 
bread  which  came  down  from 
heaven. 

42  And  they  said.  Is  not  this  Je- 
sus, the  son  of  Joseph,  whose  fa- 
ther and  mother  we  know?  how 
is  it  then  that  he  saith,  I  came 
down  from  heaven? 

43  Jesus  therefore  answered  and 
said  unto  them.  Murmur  not 
among  yo'ui"selves. 

47  verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you. 
He  that  believeth  on  me  hath 
everlasting  life. 

48  Lam  that  bread  of  life. 

49  Your  fathers  did  eat  manna 
in  the  wilderness,  and  are  dead. 

50  This  is  the  bread  which  com- 
eth down  from  heaven,  that  a  man 
may  eat  thereof,  and  not  die. 

51  I  am  that  living  bread  which 
came  down  from  heaven:  if  any 
man  eat  of  this  bi-ead,  he  shall  live 
for  ever:  and  the  bread  that  I  will 
give  is  my  flesh,  which  I  will  give 
for  the  life  of  the  world. 


52  The  Jews  strove  among  them- 
selves, saying.  How  can  this  man 
give  us  his  flesh  to  eat? 

53  Then  Jesus  said.  Verily,  I  .say 
unto  you.  Except  ye  eat  the  flesh 
of  the  Son  of  man,  and  drink  his 
blood,  ye  have  no  life  in  you. 

54  Whoso  eateth  my  flesh,  and 
drinketh  my  blood,  hath  eternal 
life;  and  I  will  raise  him  up  at 
the  last  day. 

55  For  my  flesh  is  meat  indeed, 
and  my  blood  is  drink  indeed. 

56  He  that  eateth  my  flesh,  and 
drinketh  my  blood,  dwelleth  in 
me,  and  I  in  him. 

57  As  the  living-  Father  hath 
sent  me,  and  I  live  by  the  Father; 
so  he  that  eateth  me,  even  he 
shall  live  by  me. 

58  This  is  that  bread  which 
came  down  from  heaven:  not  as 
your  fathers  did  eat  manna,  and 
are  dead :  he  that  eateth  of  this 
bread  shall  live  for  ever. 

59  These  things  said  he  in  the 
synagogue,  as  he  taught  in  Caper- 
naum. 

60  Many  of  his  disciples,  when 
they  heard  this,  said.  This  is  a  hard 
saying;  who  can  hear  it? 

61  When  Jesus  knew  in  himself 
that  Ms  disciples  murmured  at 
it,  he  said  unto  them.  Doth  this 
oflfend  you? 

62  What  and  if  ye  shall  see  the 
Son  of  man  ascend  up  where  he 
was  before? 

63  It  is  the  Spirit  that  quicken- 
eth;  the  flesh  profiteth  nothing: 
the  words  that  I  speak  unto  you, 
they  are  spirit,  and  they  are  life. 

66  From  that  time  many  of  his 
disciples  went  back,  and  walked 
no  more  with  him. 

JESUS  THE  TRUE  VINE. 

Jno.  15—1 1  am  the  true  vine,  and 
my  Father  is  the  husbandman. 

2  Every  branch  in  me  thatbear- 
eth  not  fruit  be  taketh  away: 
and  every  branch  that  beareth 
fruit,  he  purgeth  it,  that  it  may 
bring  forth  more  fruit. 

4  Abide  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  As 
the  branch  cannot  bear  fruit  of  it- 
self, except  it  abide  in  the  vine ; 
no  more  can  ye,  except  ye  abide 
in  me.  , 

5  I  am  the  vine,  ye  are  the 
branches.  He  that  abideth  in  me, 
and  I  in  hmi,  the  same  bringeth 
forth  much  fruit ;  for  without  me 
ye  can  do  nothing,    vrs.  7.,  p.  5.

Mat.  16—13  Jesus  asked  his  dis- 
ciples, saying.  Whom  do  men  say 
that  I,  the  Son  of  man  am?  Mat. 
8,  J  no.  12,  p.  197. 

14  And  they  said,  Some  say  that 
thou  art  John  the  Baptist;  some, 
Elias;  and  others,  Jeremias.  or 
one  of  the  prophets. 

15  He  saith  unto  them.  But 
whom  say  ye  tkat  I  am? 

16  And  Simon  Peter  answered 
and  said.  Thou  art  the  Christ,  the 
Son  of  the  living  God. 

17  And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  Blessed  art  thou,  Simon 
Bar-jona:  for  tlesh  and  blood  hath 
not  revealed  it  mito  thee,  hut  my 
Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

18  And  I  say  alst)  unto  thee.  That 
thou  art  Peter,  and  upon  this  rock 
I  will  build  my  cluu-ch;  and  the 
gates  of  hell  shall  not  prevail 
against  it. 

19  And  I  will  give  unto  thee  the 
keys  of  the  kingdom  of  heaven: 
and  whatsoever  thou  shalt  bind 
on  earth  shall  be  bound  in  heaven ; 
and  whatsoever  thou  shalt  loose 
on  earth  shall  be  loosed  in  heaven. 

20  Then  charged  he  his  disciples 
that  they  should  tell  no  man  that 
he  was  Jesus  the  Christ. 

21  H  From  that  time  forth  began 
Jesus  to  shew  unto  his  disciples, 
how  that  he  must  go  unto  Jerusa- 
lem, and  suffer  many  things  of 
the  elders  and  chief  priests  and 
scribes,  and  be  killed,  and  be 
rai.sed  again  the  third  day. 

22  Then  Peter  began  to  rebuke 
liim,  sjiying.  Be  it  far  from  thee. 
Lord :  this  shall  not  be  unto  thee. 

23  But  he  turned,  and  said  unto 
Peter,  Get  thee  behind  me,  Satan : 
thou  art  an  offence  vuito  me:  for 
thou  savourest  not  the  things  that 
be  of  God,  but  those  that  be  of 
men. 

JESUS  ANOINTED  BY  MARY. 

Jno.  12—1  Then  Jesus  six  days 
before  the  passover  came  to  Beth- 
any, where  Lazarus  was,  whom 
he  raised  from  the  dead. 

2  There  they  made  him  a  sup- 
per; and  Martha  seiwed :  butLaz- 
arous  was  one  of  them  that  sat  at 
the  table  with  him. 


3  Then  took  Mary  a  pound  of 
ointment  of  spikenard,  very  cost- 
ly, and  anointed  the  feet  of  Jesus, 
and  wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair: 
and  the  house  was  filled  with  the 
odour  of  the  ointment. 

4  Then  saith  one  of  his  disciples, 
Judas  Iscariot,  Simon's  son,  which 
should  betray  him, 

5  Why  was  not  this  ointment 
sold  for  three  hundred  pence,  and 
given  to  the  poor? 

6  This  he  said,  not  that  he  cared 
for  the  poor:  but  because  he  was 
a  thief,  and  had  the  bag,  and  hare 
what  was  put  therein. 

7  Then  said  Jesus,  Let  her  alone : 
against  the  day  of  my  buiTing 
hath  she  kept  this. 

8  For  the  poor  always  ye  have 
with  you;  but  me  ye  have  not  al- 
ways. 

9  Much  people  of  the  Jews  there- 
fore knew  that  he  was  there :  and 
they  came  not  for  Jesus'  sake  only, 
but  that  they  might  see  Lazarus 
also,  whom  he  had  raised  from  the 
dead. 

Mar.  14—3  And  being  in  Beth- 
any, in  the  house  of  Simon  the 
leper,  as  he  sat  at  meat,  there 
came  a  woman  having  an  alabas- 
ter box  of  ointment  of  spikenarc} 
very  precious ;  and  she  brake  the 
box,  and  pouied  it  on  his  head. 

4  And  there  were  some  that  had 
indignation  within  themselves, 
and  said.  Why  was  this  waste  or 
the  ointment  made? 

5  For  it  might  have  been  sold  for 
more  than  three  hundred  pence, 
and  have  been  given  to  the  poor. 
And  they  murmm-ed  against  her. 

6  And  Jesus  said.  Let  her  alone; 
why  trouble  ye  her?  she  hath 
wrought  a  good  work  on  me. 

7  For  ye  have  the  poor  with  you 
always,  and  whensoever  ye  will 
ye  may  do  them  good:  but  me  ye 
have  not  always. 

8  She  hath  done  what  she  could: 
she  is  come  aforehand  to  anoint 
my  body  to  the  burying. 

9  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Where- 
soever this  gospel  shall  be  preach- 
ed throughout  the  whole  world, 
this  also  that  she  hath  done  shall 
be  spoken  of  for  a  memorial  of 
her.    Mat.  26.  6-13. 

JESUS  ANOINTED  BY  MARY 
MAGDALENE. 

Lu.  7—36  And  one  of  the  Phari- 
sees desired  him  that  he  would 


500 


eat  with  liira.  And  he  went  into 
the  Pharisee's  house,  aud  sat 
down  to  meat. 

37  Aud,  behold,  a  woman  in  the 
city,  which  was  a  sinner,  when 
she  knew  that  Jesus  sat  at  meat 
in  the  Pharisee's  house,  brought 
an  alabaster  box  of  ointment, 

38  And  stood  at  his  feet  behind 
him  weeping,  and  began  to  wash 
his  feet  with  tears,  and  did  wipe 
them  with  the  hairs  of  her  head, 
and  kissed  his  feet,  aud  anointed 
tlaem  with  the  ointment. 

39  Now  when  the  Pharisees 
which  had  bidden  him  saw  it,  he 
spake  within  him  self,  saying,  This 
man,  if  he  were  a  prophet,  would 
have  known  who  and  what  man- 
ner of  woman  this  is  that  touch- 
eth  him ;  for  she  is  a  sinner. 

44  And  he  turned  to  the  woman, 
and  said  unto  Simon,  Seest  thou 
this  woman?  I  entered  into  thine 
house,  thou  givest  me  no  water 
for  my  feet:  but  she  hath  washed 
my  feet  with  tears,  and  wiped 
them  with  the  hairs  of  her  head. 

45  Thou  gavest  me  no  kiss:  but 
this  woman,  since  the  time  I  came 
in,  hath  not  ceased  to  kiss  my 
feet. 

46  My  head  with  oil  thou  didst 
not  anoint;  but  this  woman  hath 
anointed  my  feet  with  ointment. 

47  Wherefore  I  say  unto  tli^e, 
Her  sins,  which  are  many,  are  for- 
given ;  for  she  loved  much :  but 
to  whom  little  is  forgiven,  the 
same  loveth  little. 

48  And  he  said  unto  her.  Thy 
sins  are  forgiven. 

49  And  they  that  sat  at  meat 
with  him  began  to  say  within 
themselves.  Who  is  this  that  for- 
giveth  sins  also? 

50  And  he  said  to  the  woman, 
Thy  faith  hath  saved  thee ;  go  in 
peace. 

TRANSFIGURATION  OF  JE- 
SUS CHRIST. 

Lu.  9—28  And  Jesus  took  Peter 
and  John  and  James,  and  went 
up  into  a  mountain  to  pray. 

29  And  as  he  prayed,  the  fashion 
of  his  countenance  was  altered, 
and  his  raiment  was  white  and 
glistering. 

(Mat.  17—2  And  was  transfigured 
before  them:  and  his  face  did 
shine  as  the  sun,  and  his  raiment 
was  white  as  the  light.) 

(Mar.  9—3  And  his  raiment  be- 
came shining,  exceeding   white 


as  snow ;  so  as  no  fuller  on  earth 
can  white  them.) 

30  And,  behold,  there  talked 
with  him  two  men,  which  were 
Moses  and  Elias: 

31  Who  appeared  in  glory,  and 
spake  of  his  decease  which  he 
should  accomplish  at  Jerusalem. 

32  But  Peter  and  they  that  were 
with  him  were  heavy  with  vsleep: 
and  when  they  were  awake,  they 
saw  his  glory,  and  the  two  men 
that  stood  with  him. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
departed  from  him,  Peter  said  un- 
to Jesus,  Master,  it  is  good  for  us 
to  be  here :  and  let  us  make  three 
tabernacles;  one  for  thee,  and  one 
for  Moses,  and  one  for  Elias:  not 
knowing  what  he  said. 

34  While  he  thus  spake,  there 
came  a  cloud,  and  overshadowed 
them:  and  they  feared  as  they 
entered  into  the  cloud. 

35  And  there  came  a  voice  out 
the  cloud,  saying.  This  is  my  be- 
loved Son:  hear  him. 

36  And  when  the  voice  was  past, 
Jesus  was  found  alone.  And  they 
kept  it  close,  and  told  no  man  in 
those  days  any  of  those  things 
which  they  had  seen. 

REJECTED     BY     THE     SA- 
MARITANS. 

51  And  it  came  to  pass,  when 
the  time  was  come  that  he  should 
be  received  up,  he  steadfastly  set 
his  face  to  go  to  Jerusalem, 

52  Aud  sent  messengers  before 
his  face :  and  they  went,  and  en- 
tered into  a  village  of  the  Samari- 
tans, to  make  ready  for  him. 

53  Aud  they  did  not  receive  him, 
because  his  face  was  as  though  he 
would  go  to  Jerusalem. 

54  And  when  his  disciples  James 
and  John  saw  this,  they  said. 
Lord,  wilt  thou  that  we  command 
fire  to  come  down  from  heaven, 
and  consume  tliem,  even  as  Elias 
did?    See  2  Ki.  1. 10, 12,  p.  375. 

55  But  he  turned,  and  rebuked 
them,  and  said,  Ye  know  not  what 
manner  of  spirit  ye  are  of. 

56  For  the  Son  of  man  is  not 
come  to  destroy  men's  lives,  but 
to  save  them.  Aud  they  went  to 
another  village. 

JESUS     ENTERTAINED      BY 
ZACCHEUS  THE  PUBLICAN. 

Lu.  19—1  Aud  Jesus  entered  and 
passed  through  Jericho, 


510 


2  And,  behold,  there  was  a  man 
named  Zaccheus,  which  was  the 
chief  among  the  publicans,  and 
he  was  rich. 

3  And  he  sought  to  see  Jesus  who 
lie  was;  and  could  not  for  the 
press,  because  he  was  little  of 
stature. 

4  And  he  ran  before,  and  climbed 
up  into  a  sycamore  tree  to  see 
him ;  for  he  was  to  pass  that  way. 

5  And  when  Jesus  came  to  the 
place,  he  looked  up,  and  saw  him, 
and  said  unto  him.  Zaccheus, 
make  haste,  and  come  down ;  for 
to  day  I  must  abide  at  thy  house. 

6  And  he  made  haste,  and  came 
down,  and  received  him  joyfully. 

7  And  when  they  saw  it,  they  all 
mumiured,  saying.  That  lie  was 
gone  to  be  guest  with  a  man  that 
IS  a  sinner. 

8  And  Zaccheus  stood,  and  said 
unto  the  Lord ;  Behold,  Lord,  the 
half  of  my  goods  I  give  to  the 
poor;  and  if  1  have  taken  any 
thing  from  any  man  by  false  ac- 
cusation, I  restore  him  fourfold. 

9  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  This 
day  is  salvation  come  to  this 
house,  forasmuch  as  he  also  is  a 
son  of  Abraham. 

10  For  the  Son  of  man  is  come 
to  seek  and  to  save  that  which 
was  lost. 

PARABLE  OF  THE  POUNDS. 
THE  TEN  PIECES  OF  MONEY. 

Lu.  iJH-ii  And  as  they  heard 
these  things,  he  added  and  spake 
a  parable,  because  he  was  nigh  to 
Jerusalem,  and  because  they 
thought  that  the  kingdom  of  God 
should  immediately  appear. 

12  He  said  therefore,  A  certain 
nobleman  went  into  a  far  coimtry 
to  receive  for  himself  a  kiDgdom, 
and  to  return. 

13  And  he  called  his  ten  servants, 
and  delivered  them  ten  pounds. 
and  said  unto  them.  Occupy  till  I 
come. 

14  But  his  citizens  hated  him, 
and  sent  a  message  after  him, 
saying.  We  will  not  have  this 
man  to  reign  over  us. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
he  was  returned,  having  received 
the  kmgdom,  then  hecommanded 
these  servants  to  be  called  imto 
him,  to  whom  he  had  given  the 
money,  that  he  might  know  how 
much  every  man  had  gained  by 
trading. 


16  Then  came  the  first,  saying. 
Lord,  thy  pound  hath  gained  ten 
pounds. 

17  And  he  said  unto  him.  Well 
thou  good  servant:  because  thoii 
hast  been  faithful  in  a  very  little, 
have    thou   authority    over    ten 
cities. 

18  And  the  second  came,  saying 
Lord,  thy  pound  hath  gained  five 
pounds. 

19  And  he  said  likewise  to  him. 
Be  thou  also  over  five  cities. 

20  And  another  came,  saying. 
Lord  behold,  here  is  thy  pound, 
which  I  have  kept  laid  up  in  a 
napkm: 

21  For  I  feared  thee,  because 
thou  art  an  austere  man:  thou 
takest  up  that  thou  layedst  not 
down,  and  reapest  that  thou  didst 
not  sow. 

22  And  he  saith  unto  him.  Out 
of  thme  own  mouth  will  I  judge 
thee,  thou  wicked  servant.  Thou 
knewest  that  I  was  an  austere 
man,  taking  up  that  I  laid  not 
down,  and  reaping  that  I  did  not 
sow: 

23  Wherefore  then  gavest  not 
thou  my  money  into  the  bank, 
that  at  my  coming  I  might  have 
requu-ed  mine  own  with  usury^ 

24  And  he  said  unto  them  that 
stood  by.  Take  from  him  the 
pqfiud,  and  give  it  to  him  that 
hath  ten  pounds. 

25  (And  they  said  unto  him, 
Lord,  he  hath  ten  pounds.) 

26  For  I  say  unto  you.  That  un- 
to every  one  which  hath  shall  be 
given;  and  from  hiin  that  hath 
not,  even  that  he  hath  shall  be 
taken  away  from  him. 

27  But  those  mine  enemies,  which 
would  not  that  I  should  reign  over 
them,  bring  hither,  and  slay  them 
before  me. 

Christ's  public  and  triumphal 
entry  mto  Jerusalem,  and  the  de- 
struction of  the  city  foretold. 

Lu,  19-28  And  when  he  had  thus 
spoken,  he  went  before,  ascending 
up  to  Jerusalem. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
was  come  nigh  to  Bethphage  and 
Bethany,  at  the  mount  called  the 
mount  of  Olives,  he  sent  two  of 
his  disciples, 

30  Saying,  Go  ye  into  the  village 
over  against  you ;  in  the  which  at 
your  entering 


511 


(Milt.  21—2  Ye  shall  lind  an  ass 
tied,  and  a  colt  with  her:  loose 
them,  and  bring  them  unto  me. 

3  And  if  any  man  say  auglit  un- 
to you,  ye  shall  say.  The  Lord  hath 
need  of  them ;  and  straightway  he 
will  send  them. 

4  All  this  was  done,  that  it  might 
be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by 
the  prophet,  saying, 

5  Tell  ye  the  daughter  of  Sion, 
Behold,  thy  King  cometh  unto 
thee,  meek,  and  sitting  upon  an 
ass,  and  a  colt  the  foalof  an  ass. 
Zee.  9.  9,  p.  483. 

6  And  the  disciples  went,  and 
did  as  Jesus  commanded  them, 

7  And  brought  the  ass,  and  the 
colt,  and  put  on  them  their.clothes, 
and  they  set  him  thereon. 

8  And  a  very  great  multitude 
spread  their  garments  in  the  way ; 
others  cut  down  branches  from  the 
trees,  and  strewed  them  in  the 
way. 

9  And  the  multitudes  that  went 
before,  and  that  followed,  cried, 
saying,  Hosanna  to  the  Son  of 
David :  Blessed  is  he  that  cometh 
in  the  name  of  the  Lord;  Hosan- 
na in  the  highest. 

10  And  when  he  was  come  into 
Jemsalem,  all  the  city  was  moved, 
saying,  Who  is  this? 

11  And  the  multitude  said.  This 
is  Jesus  the  prophet  of  Nazareth 
of  Galilee.) 

38  Blessed  be  the  King  that 
Cometh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord: 
peace  in  heaven;  and  glory  in  the 
highest. 

39  And  some  of  the  Pharisees 
from  among  the  multitude  said. 
Master,  rebuke  thy  disciples. 

40  And  he  said,  I  tell  you,  if 
these  should  hold  their  peace,  the 
stones  would  immediately  cry  out. 

41  And  when  he  was  come  near, 
he  beheld  the  city,  and  wept  over 
it. 

42  Saying,  If  thou  hadst  known, 
even  thou,  at  least  in  this  thy  day, 
the  things  which  belong  imto  thy 
peace !  but  now  they  are  hid  from 
thine  eyes. 

43  For  the  days  shall  come  upon 
thee,  that  thine  enemies  shall  cast 
a  trench  about  thee,  and  compass 
thee  round,  and  keep  thee  in  on 
every  side, 

44  And  shall  lay  thee  even  with 
the  ground,  and  thy  children 
withm  thee;  and  they  shall  not 
leave  in  thee  one  stone  upon  an- 


other; because  thou  knewest  not 
the  time  of  thy  visitation. 

Mat.  23—37  O  Jerusalem,  Jerusa- 
lem, thou  that  killest  the  proph- 
ets, and  stonest  them  which  are 
sent  unto  thee,  how  often  would  I 
have  gathered  thy  children  to- 
gether, even  as  a  hen  gathereth 
her  chickens  under  her  wings, 
and  ye  would  not ! 

Parable  of  the  Vineyard,  the 
Stone  the  Builder  rejected,  etc. 

Lu.  20— 9  Then  began  he  to  speak 
to  the  people  this  parable;  A  cer- 
tain man  planted  a  vineyard,  and 
let  it  forth  to  husbandmen,  and 
went  into  a  far  country  for  a  long 
time. 

10  And  at  the  season  he  sent  a 
servant  to  the  husbandmen,  that 
they  should  give  him  of  the  frait 
of  the  vineyard:  but  the  husband- 
men beat  him,  and  sent  him  away 
empty. 

11  And  again  he  sent  another 
servant:  and  they  beat  him  also, 
and  entreated  him  shamefully, 
and  sent  him  away  empty. 

12  And  again  he  sent  a  third: 
and  they  wounded  him  also,  and 
cast  him  out. 

13  Then  said  the  lord  of  the 
vineyard.  What  shall  I  do?  I  will 
send  my  beloved  son:  it  may  be 
they  will  reverence  him  when 
they  see  him. 

14  But  when  the  husbandmen 
saw  him,  they  reasoned  among 
themselves,  saying.  This  is  the 
heir:  come,  let  us  kill  him,  that 
the  mheritance  may  be  ours. 

15  So  they  cast  him  out  of  the 
vineyard,  and  killed  him.  What 
therefore  shall  the  lord  of  the 
vineyard  do  unto  them? 

16  He  shall  come  and  destroy 
these  husbandmen,  and  shall  give 
the  vineyard  to  others.  Audwlien 
they  heard  it,  they  said,  God  for- 
bid. 

17  And  be  beheld  them,  and 
said.  What  is  this  then  that  is 
wi'itten.  The  stone  which  the 
builders  rejected,  the  same  is  be- 
come the  head  of  the  comer? 

18  Whosoever  shall  fall  upon 
that  stone  shall  be  broken ;  but  on 
whomsoever  it  shall  fall, .  it  will 
grind  him  to  powder.  Mat.  21,  p. 
259. 

19  t  And  the  chief  priests  and 
the  scribes  the  same  hour  sought 
to  lay  hands  on  him. 


512 


20  And  they  watched  him,  and 
sent  forth  spies,  which  should 
feign  themselves  just  men,  that 
they  might  take  hold  of  his  words, 
that  so  they  might  deliver  him 
unto  the  power  and  authority  of 
the  governor. 

The  Lord's  Supper  (see  also  com- 
munion, 1  Co.  10  and  12,  p.  44). 
Judas  betrayeth  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 

Lu.  22—1  Now  the  feast  of  un- 
leavened bread  drew  nigh,  which 
is  called  the  passover. 

2  And  the  chief  priests  and 
scribes  sought  how  they  might  kill 
him ;  for  they  feared  the  people. 

3  IT  Then  entered  vSatan  into 
Judas  suruamed  Iscariot,  being  of 
the  number  of  the  twelve. 

4  And  he  went  his  way,  and 
communed  with  the  chief  priests 
and  captains,  how  he  might  be- 
tray him  unto  them. 

(Mat.  26—15  And  said  unto  them, 
"What  will  ye  give  me,  and  1  will 
deliver  him  unto  you  ?  And  they 
covenanted  with  him  for  thirty 
pieces  of  silver. 

16  And  from  that  time  he  sought 
opportunity  to  betray  him.) 

7  Then  came  the  day  of  unleav- 
ened bread,  when  the  p9.ssover 
must  be  killed. 

8  And  he  sent  Peter  and  John, 
saying.  Go  and  prepare  us  the 
passover,  that  we  may  eat. 

9  And  they  said  untohim,Where 
wilt  thou  that  we  prepare  ? 

10  And  he  said  unto  them.  Be- 
hold, when  ye  are  entered  into  the 
city,  there  shall  a  man  meet  you, 
bearing  a  pitcher  of  water;  follow 
him  into  the  house  where  he  en- 
tereth  in. 

11  And  ye  shall  say  unto  the 
goodman  of  the  house.  The  Mas- 
ter saith  unto  thee.  Where  is  the 
guestchamber,  where  1  shall  eat 
the  passover  with  my  disciples  ? 

12  And  he  shall  shew  you  a  large 
tipper  room  furnished :  there  make 
ready. 

13  And  they  went,  and  found  as 
he  had  said  unto  them :  and  they 
made  ready  the  passover. 

14  And  when  the  hour  was  come, 
he  sat  down,  and  the  twelve  apos- 
tles with  him. 

Mat.  26—21  And  as  they  did  eat, 
he  said,Verily  I  say  unto  you,  that 
one  of  you  shall  betray  me. 


22  And  they  were  exceeding  sor- 
rowful, and  began  every  one  of 
them  to  say  unto  him.  Lord,  is  it 
I? 

23  And  he  answered  and  said.He 
that  dippeth  his  hand  with  me  in 
the  dish,  the  same  shall  betray  me. 

24  The  Son  of  man  goeth  as  it  is 
written  of  him :  but  woe  unto  that 
man  by  whom  the  Son  of  man  is 
betrayed!  it  had  been  good  for 
that  man  if  he  had  not  been  born. 

25  Then  Judas,  which  betrayed 
him,  answered  and  said.  Master, 
is  it  I  ?  He  said  unto  him,  Thou 
hast  said. 

26  H  And  as  they  were  eating, 
Jesus  took  bread,  and  blessed  it, 
and  brake  it,  and  gave  it  to  the 
disciples,  and  said,  Take,  eat ;  this 
is  my  body. 

27  And  he  took  the  cup,  and 
gave  thanks,  and  gave  it  to  them, 
sayiiig.  Drink  ye  all  of  it ; 

28  For  this  is  my  blood  of  the 
new  testament,  which  is  shed  for 
many  for  the  remission  of  sins. 

29  But  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not 
drink  henceforth  of  this  fruit  of 
the  vine,  until  that  day  when  1 
drink  it  new  with  you  in  my 
Father's  kingdom. 

30  And  when  they  had  sung  a 
hymn,  they  went  out  into  the 
mount  of  Olives. 

31  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  them. 
All  ye  shall  be  offended  because 
of  me  this  night:  for  it  is  written, 
1  will  smite  the  Shepherd,  and  the 
sheep  of  the  flock  shall  be  scat- 
tered abroad.    Zee.  13.  7,  p.  485. 

32  But  after  I  am  risen  again,  I 
will  go  before  you  into  Galilee. 

33  Peter  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  Though  all  men  shall  be  of- 
fended because  of  thee,  yet  will  I 
never  be  offended, 

31  Jesus  said  mito  him.  Verily 
I  say  unto  thee.  That  this  night, 
before  the  cock  crow,  thou  shalt 
deny  me  thrice. 

35  Peter  said  unto  him,  Though 
I  should  die  with  thee,  yet  will  I 
dot  deny  thee.  Likewise  also  said 
all  the  disciples. 

Jno.  13—18  I  speak  not  of  you 
all :  I  know  whom  I  have  chosen : 
but  that  the  Scripture  maybe  ful- 
filled. He  that  eateth  bread  with 
me  hath  lifted  up  his  heel  against 
me.    Ps.  41.  9,  p.  19,  and  p.  100. 

19  Now  I  tell  you  before  it  come, 
that,  when  it  is  come  to  pass,  ye 
may  believe  that  1  am  he. 


513 


20  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you. 
He  that  receiveth  whomsoever  1 
send  receiveth  me;  and  he  that 
receiveth  me  receiveth  him  that 
sent  me. 

,  21  When  Jesus  had  thus  said,  he 
was  troubled  in  spirit,  and  testi- 
tied,  and  said.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  that  one  of  you  shall 
betray  me. 

22  Then  the  disciples  looked  one 
on  another,  doubting  of  whom  he 
spake. 

23  Now  there  was  leaning  on 
Jesus'  bosom  one  of  his  disciples, 
whom  Jesus  loved. 

24  Simon  Peter  therefore  beck- 
ojied  to  him,  that  he  should  ask 
who  it  should  be  of  whom  he 
spake. 

25  He  then  lying  on  Jesus'  breast 
saith  unto  him.  Lord,  who  is  it? 

26  Jesus  answered.  He  it  is,  to 
whom  I  shall  give  a  sop,  when  I 
have  dipped  it.  And  when  he  had 
dipped  the  sop,  he  gave  it  to  Judas 
Iscariot,  the  son  of  Simon. 

27  And  after  the  sop  Satan  en- 
tered into  him.  Then  said  Jesus 
unto  him.  That  thou  doest,  do 
quickly. 

28  Now  no  man  at  the  table  knew 
for  what  intent  he  spake  this  unto 
him. 

29  For  some  of  them  thoitght, 
because  Judas  had  the  bag,  that 
Jesus  had  said'untohim,  Buy  those 
things  that  we  have  need  of 
against  the  feast;  or,  that  he 
should  give  something  to  the  poor. 

30  He  then,  having  received  the 
sop,  went  immediately  out;  and 
it  was  night. 

31  Therefore,  when  he  was  gone 
out,  Jesus  said,  Now  is  the  Son  of 
man  glorified,  and  God  is  glorified 
in  him. 

Trial,  crucifixion,  death,  resur- 
rection, and  ascension  of  Jesiis 
Christ,  from  the  books  of  Mat- 
thew, Mark,  Luke,  and  John. 

Jno.  18—1  When  Jesus  had  spok- 
en these  words,  he  went  forth 
with  his  disciples  over  the  brook 
Cedron,  where  was  a  garden. 

Mar.  14—32  Which  was  named 
Gethsemane:  and  he  saith  to  his 
disciples.  Sit  ye  here,  while  1  pray. 

;«  Ajid  he  taketh  with  him 
Peter  and  James  and  John,  and 
began  to  be  sore  amazed,  and  to 
be  very  heavy ; 


34  And  saith  unto  them,  My 
soul  is  exceeding  sorrowful  unto 
death :  tany  ye  liere,  and  watch. 

3.5  And  he  went  forward  a  little, 
and  fell  on  tlie  ground,  and  prayed 
tliat,  if  it  were  possible,  the  houi- 
might  pass  from  him. 

,36  And  he  said,  Abba,  Father, 
all  things  are  possible  unto  thee; 
take  away  this  cup  from  me:  nev- 
ertheless, not  what  I  will,  but 
what  thou  wilt. 

Lu.  22 — 13  And  there  appeared 
an  angel  unto  him  from  heaven, 
strengthening  him. 

44  And  being  in  an  agony  he 
prayed  more  earnestly:  and  hi.s 
sweat  was  as  it  were  great  drops 
of  blood  falling  down  to  the 
ground. 

45  And  when  he  rose  up  from 
prayer,  and  was  come  to  his  dis- 
ciples, he  found  them  sleeping 
for  sorrow, 

46  And  said  unto  them.  Why 
sleep  ye?  rise  and  pray,  lest  ye 
enter  into  temptation. 

47  And  while  he  yet  spake,  be- 
hold a  multitude,  and  he  that  was 
called  Judas,  one  of  the  twelve, 
went  before  them,  and  drew  near 
unto  Jesus  to  kiss  him. 

48  But  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Ju- 
das, betrayest  thou  the  Sou  of 
man  with  a  kiss? 

Mat.  26—49  And  forthwith  he 
came  to  JestM,  and  said,  Hail, 
Master;  and  kissed  him. 

Jno.  18—4  Jesus  therefore,  know- 
ing all  things  that  should  come 
upon  him,  went  forth,  and  said 
unto  them.  Whom  seek  ye? 

5  They  answered  him,  Jesus  of 
Nazareth.  Jesus  saith  unto  them, 
1  am  he.  And  Judas  also,  which 
betrayed  him,  stood  with  them. 

6  As  soon  then  as  he  had  said 
unto  them,  I  am  he,  they  went 
backward,  and  fell  to  the  ground. 

7  Then  asked  he  them  again. 
Whom  seek  ye?  And  they  said, 
Jesus  of  Nazareth. 

8  Jesus  answered,  I  have  told 
you  that  I  am  he :  if  therefore  ye 
seek  me,  let  these  go  their  way: 

9  That  the  saying  might  be  ful- 
filled, which  he  spake.  Of  them 
which  thou  gavest  me  have  I  lost 
none. 

(Jno.  17—12  While  I  was  with 
them  in  the  world,  I  kept  them  in 
thy  name:  and  none  of  them  is 
lost,  but  the  son  of  perdition :  that 
the  Scripture  might  be  fulfilled.)

10  Then  Simon  Peter  having  a 
sword  drew  it,  aud  smote  the  high 
priest's  servant,  and  cut  off  his 
right  ear.  The  servant's  name 
was  Malchus. 

(Lu.  22—51  And  Jesiis  answered 
aud  said.  Suffer  ye  thus  far.  And 
he  touched  his  ear,  and  healed 
him.)  . 

11  Then  said  Jesus  unto  Peter. 
Put  up  thy  sword  into  the  sheath : 
the  cup  which  my  Father  liath 
given  me,  shall  I  not  drink  it? 

Mat.  26—52  Put  up  again  thy 
sword  into  his  place:  for  all  they 
that  take  the  sword  shall  perish 
with  the  sword.  Lu.  22.  35-38,  p.  260. 

53  Thinkest  thou  that  I  caimot 
now  pray  to  my  Father,  aud  he 
shall  presently  give  me  more  than 
twelve  legions  of  angels'? 

54  But  how  then  shall  the  Scrip- 
tures be  fulfilled,  that  thus  it 
must  he? 

55  In  that  same  hour  said  Jesus 
to  the  multitudes.  Are  ye  come 
out  as  against  a  thief  with  swords 
and  staves  for  to  take  me?  1  sat 
daily  with  you  teaching  in  the 
temple,  and  ye  laid  no  hold  on  me. 

56  But  all  this  was  done,  that 
the  Scriptures  of  the  prophets 
might  be  fulfilled.  Then  all  the 
disciples  forsook  him,  and  fled. 

(Mar.  14—50  And  they  all  forsook 
him,  and  fled. 

51  And  there  fallowed  him  a 
a  certain  young  man,  having  a 
linen  cloth  cast  about  his  naked 
body;  and  the  young  men  laid 
hold  on  him : 

52  And  he  left  the  linen  cloth, 
and  fled  from  tliem  naked.) 

57  And  they  that  had  laid  hold 
on  Jesus  led  him  away  to  Caiaphas 
the  high  priest,  where  the  scribes 
and  the  elders  were  assembled. 

.58  But  Peter  followed  him  afar 
off  unto  the  high  priest's.palace, 
and  went  in,  and  sat  with  the 
servants,  to  see  the  end. 

(Jno.  18— 18  And  the  servants  and 
officers  stood  there,  who  had  made 
a  fire  of  coals,  for  it  was  cold ;  and 
they  warmed  themselves:  and 
Peter  stood  with  them,  and 
warmed   himself.) 

59  Now  the  chief  priests,  and 
elders,  and  all  the  council,  sought 
false  witness  against  Jesus,  to 
put  him  to  death ; 

60  But  found  none :  yea,  though 
many  false  witnesses  came,  yet 
found  they  none.  At  the  last 
came  two  false  witnesses, 


61  And  said.  This  fellow  said.  I 
am  able  to  destroy  the  temple  of 
God,  and  to  build  it  in  three 
days. 

(Mar.  14—60  And  the  high  priest 
stood  up  in  the  midst,  and  a.sked 
Jesus,  saymg.  Answerest  thou 
nothing?  what  is  it  which  these 
witness  against  thee? 

61  But  he  held  his  peace,  and 
answered  nothing.  Again  the 
high  priest  asked  him,  and  said 
unto  him.  Art  thou  the  Christ,  the 
Son  of  the  Blessed?    p.  490. 

62  And  Jesus  said,  1  am :  and  ye 
shall  see  the  Son  of  man  sitting 
on  the  right  hand  of  power,  and 
coming  in  the  clouds  of  heaven. 

63  Then  the  high  priest  rent  his 
clothes,  and  saitu.  What  need  we 
any  f  m-ther  witnesses? 

64  Ye  haveheardtheblasphemy : 
what  think  ye?  And  they  all  con- 
demned him  to  be  guilty  of  death, 

65  And  some  began  to  spit  on 
him,  and  to  cover  his  face,  and  to 
buffet  him;  and  to  say  mito  him. 
Prophesy:  and  the  servants  did 
strike  him  with  the  palms  of 
their  hands.    Is.  50. 6,  p.  471.) 

69  Now  Peter  sat  without  m 
the  palace:  and  a  damsel  came 
mito  nim,  saying,  Thou  also  wast 
with  Jesus  of  Galilee. 

70But  he  denied  before  them  all, 
saying,  I  know  not  what  thou 
sayest. 

71  And  when  he  was  gone  out 
into  the  porch,  another  maid  saw 
him,  and  said  unto  them  that 
were  there.  This  fellow  was  also 
with  Jesus  of  Nazareth. 

72  And  again  he  denied  with  an 
oath,  I  do  not  know  the  man. 

73  And  after  a  while  came  unto 
him  thev  that  stood  by,  and  said 
to  Peter,  Surely  thou  also  art  one 
of  them ;  for  thy  speech  bewray- 
eth  thee. 

74  Then  began  he  to  curse  and  to 
swear,  saying,  I  know  not  theman. 
And  immediately  the  cock  crew. 

Lu.  22—61  And  the  Lord  turned, 
and  looked  upon  Peter.  And 
Peter  remembered  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  how  he  had  said  unto 
him.  Before  the  cock  crow,  thou 
Shalt  deny  me  thrice. 

62  And  Peter  went  out,  and  wept 
bitterly.

fortunate scapegoat.  See  also  Le.

Mat.  27—1  When  the  morniug 
was  come,  all  the  chief  priests  and 
elders  of  the  people  took  counsel 
against  Jesus  to  put  him  to  death. 

3  Then  Judas,  which  had  be- 
trayed him,  when  he  saw  that  he 
was  condemned,  repented  him- 
self, and  brought  again  the  thirty 
pieces  of  silver  to  the  chief  priests 
and  elders, 

■4  Saying,  I  have  sinned  in  that  I 
have  betrayed  the  innocent  blood. 
And  they  said.  What  is  that  to  us? 
see  thou  to  that. 

5  And  he  cast  down  the  pieces  of 
silver  in  the  temple,  and  departed, 
and  went  and  hanged  himself. 

(Ac.  1—15  And  ni  those  days 
Peter  stood  up  in  the  midst  of  the 
disciples,  and  said, 

16  Men  and  brethren,  this  Scrip- 
ture must  needs  have  been  fulfill- 
ed, which  the  Holy  Ghost  by  the 
mouth  of  David  spake  before  con- 
cerning Judas,  which  was  guide 
to  them  that  took  Jesus. 

17  For  he  was  numbered  with 
us.  and  had  obtained  part  of  this 
ministry. 

18  Now  this  man  purchased  a 
field  with  the  reward  of  iniquity ; 
and  falling  headlong,  he  Durst 
asunder  in  the  midst,  and  all  his 
bowels  gushed  out. 

19  Anditwasknownuntoallthe 
dwellers  at  Jerusalem  •  insomuch 
as  that  field  is  called,  in  their 
proper  tongue,  Aceldama,  that  is 
to  say.  The  field  of  blood. 

20  For  it  is  written  in  the  book 
of  Psalms,  Let  his  habitation  be 
desolate,  and  let  no  man  dwell 
therein:  and.  His  bishoprick  let 
another  take. 

The  word  "bishoprick"  cannot 
be  found  in  the  Old  Testament, 
and  David  wrote  nothing  about 
Judas.  There  isno  mention  made 
of  him  in  the  book  of  Psalms,  or 
in  any  of  the  other  books  of  the 
» Hd  Bible.  It  is  supposed  that 
Peter  referred  to  Ps.  69.  25  and  Ps. 
109.8.  See  p.  222, 283.  Yet  by  read- 
ing them  you  will  see  tliat  they 
have  no  bearing  on  the  case  what- 
ever.) 

6  And  the  chief  priests  took  the 
silver  pieces,  and  said.  It  is  not 
lawful  for  us  to  put  them  into  the 
treasury,  because  it  is  the  price  of 
blood. 

7  And  they  took  counsel,  and 
l>ought  with  them  the  potter's 
field,  to  bury  strangers  in. 


8  Wherefore  that  field  was 
called,  The  field  of  blood,  unto 
this  day. 

9  Then  was  fulfilled  that  which 
was  spoken  by  Jeremy  the  proph- 
et, saying,  And  they  took  the 
thirty  pieces  of  silver,  the  price  of 
him  that  was  valued,  whom  they 
of  the  children  of  Israel  did  value ; 

10  And  gave  them  for  the  pot- 
ter's field,  as  the  Lord  appointed 
me.    Zee.  11. 12, 13.  p.  484. 

Jno.  18—28  Then  led  they  Jesus 
from  Caiaphas  unto  the  hall  of 
judgment:  and  it  was  early;  and 
they  themselves  went  not  into  the 
judgment  hall,  lest  they  should 
be  defiled;  but  that  they  might 
eat  the  passover. 

29  Pilate  then  went  out  unto 
them,  and  said,  What  accusation 
bring  ye  against  this  man? 

30  rhey  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  If  he  were  not  a  malefactor, 
we  would  not  have  delivered  him 
up  unto  thee. 

(Mat.  27—19  When  Pilate  was  set 
down  on  the  judgment  seat,  his 
wife  sent  unto  him,  saying.  Have 
thou  nothing  to  do  with  that  just 
man:  for  I  have  suffered  many 
things  this  day  in  a  dream  because 
of  him.) 

31  Then  said  Pilate  unto  them. 
Take  ye  him,  and  judge  him  ac- 
cording to  your  law.  The  Jews 
therefore  said  unto  him.  It  is  not 
lawful  for  us  to  put  any  man  to 
death: 

32  That  the  saying  of  Jesus 
might  be  fulfilled„whichhe  spake, 
signifying  what  death  he  should 
die. 

33  Then  Pilate  entered  into  the 
judgment  hall  again,  and  called 
Jesus,  and  said  unto  him.  Art  thou 
the  King  of  the  Jews? 

34  Jesus  answered  him,  Sayest 
thou  this  thing  of  thyself,  or  did 
others  tell  it  thee  of  me? 

35  Pilate  answered,  Am  I  a  Jew? 
Thine  own  nation  and  the  chief 
priests  have  delivered  thee  unto 
me:  what  hast  thou  done? 

36  Jesus  answered.  My  kingdom 
is  not  of  this  world :  if  my  King- 
dom were  of  this  world,  then 
would  my  servants  fight,  that  I 
should  not  be  delivered  to  the 
Jews:  but  now  is  my  kingdom 
not  from  hence. 

37  Pilate  therefore  said  unto 
him.  Art  thou  a  king  then?  Je- 
sus answered.  Thou  sayest  that  1 
am  a  king.     To  this  end  was  I 


516 


bom,  and  for  this  cause  came  I 
into  the  world,  that  I  should  bear 
witness  unto  the  truth.  Every 
one  that  is  of  the  truth  heareth 
my  voice. 

38  Pilate  saith  tiuto  him.  What 
is  truth  ?  And  when  he  had  said 
this,  he  went  out  again  unto  the 
Jews,  and  saith  unto  them,  I  find 
in  him  no  fault  at  all. 

39  But  ye  have  a  custom,  that  I 
should  release  unto  you  one  at  the 
passover:  will  ye  therefore  that  I 
release  unto  you  the  King  of  the 
Jews  ? 

40  Then  cried  they  all  again,say- 
ing,  Not  this  man,  but  Barabbas. 
Now  Barabbas  was  a  robber. 

Jno.  19—1  Then  Pilate  therefore 
took  Jesus,  and  scourged  him. 

2  And  the  soldiers  platted  a 
crown  of  thorns,  and  put  it  on  his 
head,  and  they  put  on  him  a  pur- 
ple robe, 

3  And  said.  Hail,  King  of  the 
Jews!  and  they  smote  him  with 
their  hands. 

4  Pilate  therefore  went  forth 
again,  and  saith  unto  them.  Be- 
hold, 1  bring  him  forth  to  you, 
that  ye  may  know  that  I  find  no 
fault  in  him. 

5  Then  came  Jesus  forth,  wear- 
ing the  crown  of  thorns,  and  the 
purple  robe.  And  Pilate  saith  un- 
to them.  Behold  the  man  I 

6  When  the  chief  priests  there- 
fore and  ofiicers  saw  him,  they 
cried  out,  saying.  Crucify  him, 
crucifv  him.  Pilate  saith  unto 
them.  Take  ye  him,  and  crucify 
him :  for  1  find  no  fault  in  him. 

7  The  Jews  answered  him.  We 
have  a  law,  and  by  our  law  he 
ouglit  to  die,  because  he  made 
himself  the  Son  of  God. 

8  When  Pilate  therefore  heard 
that  saying,  he  was  the  more 
afraid; 

9  And  went  agam  into  the  judg- 
ment hall,  and  saith  unto  Jesus, 
Whence  art  thou  ?  But  Jesus  gave 
him  no  answer. 

10  Then  said  Pilate  unto  him, 
Speakest  thou  not  unto  me  ? 
knowest  thou  not  that  I  have 
power  to  crucify  thee,  and  have 
power  to  release  thee  ? 

11  Jesus  answered.  Thou  could- 
est  have  no  power  at  all  against 
me,  except  it  were  given  thee  from 
above :  thereforehethat  delivered 
xne  unto  thee  hath  the  greater  sin. 

(Jno.  10—17  My  Father  love  me, 


because  I  lay  down  my  life,  that  I 
might  take  it  again. 

18  No  man  taketh  it  from  me, 
but  I  lay  it  down  of  myself.  I 
have  power  to  lay  it  down,  and  I 
have  power  to  take  it  again.  This 
commandment  have  I  received  of 
mv  Father. 

30  I  and  my  Father  are  one.) 

12  And  from  thenceforth  Pilate 
sought  to  release  him:  but  the 
Jews  cried  out,  saying,  If  thou  let 
this  man  go,  thou  art  not  Cesar's 
friend :  whosoever  maketh  himself 
a  king  speaketh  against  Cesar. 

13  When  Pilate  therefore  heard 
that  saying,  he  broiight  Jesus 
forth,  and  sat  down  in  the  judg- 
ment seat  in  a  place  that  is  called 
the  Pavement,  but  in  the  Hebrew, 
Gabbatha. 

14  And  it  was  the  preparation  of 
the  passover,  and  about  the  sixth 
hour:  and  he  saith  unto  the  Jews, 
Behold  vour  King! 

15  But  they  cried  out.  Away  with 
him,  away  with  him,  crucify  him. 
Pilate  saith  imto  them,  Shall  I  cra- 
cify  your  Kmg  ?  The  chief  priests 
answered.  We  have  uo  king  but 
Cesar. 

16  Then  delivered  he  him  there- 
fore unto  them  to  be  crucified. 
And  they  took  Jesus,  and  led  him 
away.    Mat.  27.  24,  p.  24. 

17  And  he  hearing  his  cross  went 
forth  into  a  place  called  the  place 
of  a  skull,  which  is  called  in  the 
Hebrew  Golgotha: 

18  Where  they  cnicitied  him,  and 
two  others  with  him,  on  either 
side  one,  and  Jesus  in  the  midst. 

(Mar.  1.5—21  And  they  compel  one 
Simon  aCyrenian,  who  passed  by, 
coming  out  of  the  countiT.  the 
father  of  Alexander  and  Rufus.to 
bear  his  cross. 

22  And  they  bring  him  unto  the 
place  Golgotha,  which  is,  being  in- 
terpreted. The  place  of  a  skull. 

23  And  they  gave  him  to  drink 
wine  mingled  withmyiTh:  but  he 
received  it  not. 

(Mat.  27—34  They  gave  him  vine- 
gar to  drink  mingled  with  gall: 
and  when  he  had  tasted  thereof, 
he  would  not  drink.) 

27  And  with  him  they  crucify 
two  thieves;  the  one  on  his  right 
hand,  and  the  other  on  his  left. 

28  And  the  Scripture  was  ful- 
filled, -which  saith.  And  he  was 
numbered  with  the  trangressors. 
Is.  53;  12,  p.  473.) 


517 


(Lu.  23—27  And  there  followed 
him  a  great  company  of  people, 
and  of  women,  which  also  be- 
wailed and  lamented  him. 

28  But  Jesus  turning  unto  them 
said,  Daughters  of  Jerusalem, 
weep  not  for  me,  but  weep  for 
yourselves,  and  for  your  children. 

29  For,  behold,  the  days  are 
coming,  in  the  which  thev  shall 
say,  Blessed  are  the  barren,  and 
tlie  wombs  that  never  bare,  and 
the  paps  which  never  gave  suck. 

30  Then  shall  they  begin  to  say 
to  the  mountains.  Fall  on  us; 
and  to  the  hills.  Cover  us. 

.  31  For  if  they  do  these  things 
m  a  green  tree,  what  shall  be 
done  in  the  dry? 

32  And  there  were  also  two 
others,  malefactors,  led  with  him 
to  be  put  to  death. 

33  And  when  they  were  come  to 
the  place,  which  is  calledCal  vary, 
there  they  crucified  him,  and  the 
malefactors,  one  on  the  right 
hand,  and  the  other  on  the  left. 

39  And  one  of  the  malefactors 
which  were  hanged  railed  on 
hnn,  saying.  If  thou  be  Christ, 
save  thyself  and  us. 

40  But  the  other  answering  re- 
buked him,  saying.  Dost  not  thou 
fear  God,  seeing  thou  art  in  the 
same  condemnation? 

41  And  we  indeed  justly;  for 
we  receive  the  due  reward  of  our 
deeds:  but  this  man  hath  done 
nothing  amiss. 

42  And  he  said  unto  Jesus,  Lord, 
remember  me  when  thou  comest 
into  thy  kingdom. 

43  And  Jesus  said  unto  him. 
Verily  I  say  unto  thee.  To  day 
shalt  thou  be  with  me  in  paradise.) 

19  And  Pilate  wrote  a  title, 
and  put  it  on  the  cross.  And  the 
writing  was,  JE8US  OF  NAZ- 
ARETH THE  KING  OF  THE 
JEWS. . 

20  This  title  then  read  many  of 
the  Jews;  for  the  place  where  Je- 
sus was  crucified  was  nigh  to  the 
city:  and  it  was  written  in  He- 
brew, and  Greek,  and  Latin. 

21  Then  said  the  chief  priests  of 
the  Jews  to  Pilate,  Write  not.  The 
King  of  the  Jews:  but  that  he 
said,  I  am  King  of  the  Jews. 

22  Pilate  answered.  What  I 
have  written  1  have  written. 

23  Then  the  soldiers,  when  they 
had  crucified  Jesus,  took  his  gar- 
ments, and   made  four  parts,  to 


every  soldier  a  part ;  and  also  his 
coat:  now  the  coat  was  without 
seam,  woven  from  the  top  through- 
out. 

24  They  said  therefore  among 
themselves.  Let  us  not  rend  it,  but 
cast  lots  for  it,  whose  it  shall  be: 
that  the  scripture  might  be  firlfill- 
ed,  which  saith.  They  paned  my 
raiment  among  them,  and  for  my 
vesture  they  did  cast  lots.  These 
things  therefore  the  soldiers  did. 

(Ps.  22—18  They  part  my  gar- 
ments among  them,  and  cast  lots 
upon  my  vesture.) 

25  Now  there  stood  by  the  cross 
of  Jesus  his  mother,  and  his  mo- 
ther's sister,  Mary  the  wife  of 
Cleophas.  and  Mary  Magdalene. 

(Mat.  27 — 55  And  many  women 
were  there  beholding  afar  off, 
which  followed  Jesus  from  Gali- 
lee, ministering  unto  him : 

56  Among  which  was  Marv  Mag- 
dalene, and  Mary  the  mother  of 
James  and  Joses,  and  the  mother 
of  Zebedee's  children.) 

26  When  Jesus  therefore  saw 
his  mother,  and  the  disciples 
standing  by,  whom  he  loved,  he 
saith  unto  his  mother, Woman,  be- 
hold thy  son! 

27  Then  saith  he  to  the  disciple. 
Behold  tliy  mother!  And  from 
that  hour  that  disciple  took  her 
anto  Ills  own  home.  The  disciple 
whom  Jesus  loved  (John),  see 
Jno,  13.  23,  p.  513;  and  Jno.  21.  20- 
24,  p.  520. 

28  After  this,  Jesus  knowing 
that  all  things  were  now  accom- 
plished, that  the  Scripture  might 
be  fuUiiled,  saith,  I  thirst. 

(Ps.  69—21  They  gave  me  also  gall 
for  my  meat;  and  in  my  thirst 
they  gave  me  vinegar  to  drink. 

24  Pour  out  thine  indignation 
upon  them,  and  let  thy  wrathful 
anger  take  hold  of  them. 

25  Let  their  habitation  be  deso- 
late, let  none  dwell  in  their  tents. 

26  For  they  persecute  him  whom 
thou  hast  smitten,  and  they  talk 
to  the  grief  of  those  whom  thou 
hast  wounded.) 

29  Now  there  was  set  a  yessel 
full  of  vinegar:  and  they  filled 
a  sponge  with  vinegar,  and  put 
it  upon  hyssop,  and  pat  it  to  nis 
mouth. 

30  When  Jesus  therefore  had 
received  the  vinegar,  he  said.  It 
is  finished:  and  he  bowed  his 
head,  and  gave  up  the  ghost. 


518 


(Mat.  27—45  Now  from  the  sixth 
hour  there  was  darkness  over  all 
the  land  unto  the  ninth  hour. 

46  And  about  the  ninth  hour 
Jesus  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  say- 
ing, Eli,  Eli,  lama  sabachthani  ? 
that  is  to  say.  My  God,  my  God, 
why  hast  thou  forsaken  me  ? 

(Ps.  22—1  My  God,  my  God,  why 
hast  thou  forsaken  mei"  why  art 
thou  so  far  from  helping  me,  and 
from  tlie  words  of  my  roaring  ? ) 

47  Some  of  them  that  stood  there, 
when  they  heard  that,  said.  This 
man  calleth  for  Elias. 

48  And  straightway  one  of  them 
ran,  and  took  a  sponge,  and  filled 
it  with  vinegar,  and  put  it  on  a 
reed,  and  gave  him  to  drink. 

49  The  rest  said.  Let  be,  let  us 
see  whether  Elias  will  come  to 
save  him. 

50  Jesus,  when  he  had  cried 
again  with  a  loud  voice,  yielded 
up  the  ghost. 

51  And,  behold,  the  vail  of  the 
temple  was  rent  in  twain  from  the 
top  to  the  bottom  ;  and  the  earth 
did  quake,  and  the  rocks  rent ; 

52  And  the  graves  were  opened ; 
and  many  bodies  of  the  saints 
which  slept  arose, 

53  And  came  out  of  the  graves 
after  his  resurrection,  and  went 
into  the  holy  city,  and  appeared 
unto  many 

51  Now  when  the  centurion,  and 
they  that  were  with  him,  watch- 
ing Jesus  saw  the  earthquake, 
and  those  things  that  were  done, 
they  feared  greatly,  saying.  Truly 
this  was  the  Son  of  God.) 

31  The  Jews  therefore,  because 
it  was  the  preparation,  that  the 
bodies  should  not  remain  upon 
the  cross  on  the  sabbath  day, 
(for  that  sabbath  day  was  a  high 
day,)  besought  Pilate  that  their 
legs  might  be  broken,  and  that 
they  miglit  be  taken  away. 

32  Then  came  the  soldiers,  and 
brake  the  legs  of  the  first,  and  of 
theother  which  was  crucified  with 
him. 

33  But  when  they  came  to  Jesus, 
and  saw  that  he  was  dead  already, 
they  brake  not  his  legs: 

34  But  one  of  the  soldiers  with  a 
spear  pierced  his  side,  and  forth- 
with came  there  out  blood  and 
water. 

35  And  he  that  saw  it  bare  rec- 
ord, and  his  record  is  true;  and  he 
knoweth  that  he  saith  true,  that 
ye  might  believe. 


36  For  these  things  were  done, 
that  the  Scripture  should  be  ful- 
filled, A  bone  of  him  shall  not  be 
broken. 

(Ps.  34—19  Many  are  the  afflic- 
tions of  the  righteous:  but  the 
LoHD  delivereth  him  out  of  them 
all. 

20  Hekeepeth  all  his  bones:  not 
one  of  them  is  broken. 

21  Evil  shall  slay  the  wicked: 
and  they  that  hate  the  righteous.) 

37  And  again  another  Scripture 
saith.  They  shall  look  on  him 
whom  they  pierced. 

(Ps.  22—16  For  dogs  have  com- 
passed me:  the  assembly  of  the 
wicked  have  inclosed  me:  they 
pierced  my  hands  and  my  feet. 
Zee.  12. 10,  p.  484.) 

38  And  after  this  Joseph  of 
Arimathea,  being  a  disciple  of 
Jesus,  but  secretly  for  fear  of  the 
Jews,  besought  Pilate  that  he 
might  take  away  the  body  of  Je- 
sus: and  Pilate  gave  him  leave. 
He  came  therefore,  and  took  the 
body  of  Jesus. 

39  And  there  came  also  Nicode- 
mus,  (which  at  the  first  came  to 
Jesus  by  night.)  and  brought  a 
mixture  of  myrrh  and  aloes,  about 
a  hundred  pound  weight. 

40  Then  took  they  the  body  of 
Jesus,  and  wound  it  in  linen 
clothes  with  the  spices,  as  the 
manner  of  the  Jews  is  to  bury. 

41  Now  in  the  place  where  he 
was  crucified  there  was  a  garden ; 
and  in  the  garden  a  new  sepul- 
chre, wherein  was  never  man  yet 
laid. 

42  There  laid  they  Jesus  there- 
fore because  of  the  Jews'  prepara- 
tion day;  for  the  sepulchre  was 
nigh  at  hand. 

RESURRECTION  AND  ASCEN- 
SION OF  JESUS  CHRIST. 

Jno.  20—1  The  first  day  of  the 
week  cometh  Mary  Magdalene 
early,  when  it  was  yet  dark,  unto 
the  sepulchre,  and  seeth  the  stone 
taken  away  from  the  sepulchre. 

2  Then  she  runneth,  and  cometh 
to  Simon  Peter,  and  to  the  other 
disciple,  whom  Jesus  loved,  and 
saith  untothem, They  have  taken 
away  the  Lord  out  of  the  sepul- 
chre, and  we  know  not  where  they 
have  laid  him. 

3  Peter  therefore  went  forth,  and 
that  other  disciple,  and  came  to 
the  sepulchre. 


519 


4  So  they  ran  both  together :  and 
the  otlier  disciple  did  outrun  Pe- 
ter, and  came  first  to  the  sepul- 
chre. 

5  And  he  stooping  down,  and 
looking  in,  saw  the  linen  clothes 
lying;  yet  went  he  not  in. 

G  Then  conieth  Simon  Peter  fol- 
lowing him,  and  went  into  the 
sepulclire,  and  seeth  the  linen 
clothes  lie, 

7  And  the  napkin,  that  was 
about  his  head,  not  lying  with  the 
linen  clothes,  but  wrapped  to- 
gether in  a  place  by  itself. 

8  Then  went  in  also  that  other 
disciple,  which  came  first  to  the 
sepulchre,  and  he  saw,  and  be- 
lieved. 

9  For  as  yet  they  knew  not  the 
Scripture,  that  he  must  rise  again 
from  the  dead. 

10  Then  the  disciples  went  away 
again  unto  their  own  home. 

11  But  Mary  stood  without  at 
the  sepulchre  weeping:  and  as  she 
wept,  she  stooped  down,  and 
looked  into  the  sepulchre, 

12  And  seeth  two  angels  in  white 
sitting,  the  one  at  the  head,  and 
the  other  at  the  feet,  where  the 
body  of  Jesus  had  lain. 

13  And  they  say  unto  her,  Wo- 
man, why  weepest  thou?  Shesaith 
unto  them.  Because  they  have 
taken  away  my  Lord,  and  I  know 
not  where  they  have  laid  him. 

14  And  when  she  had  thus  said, 
she  turned  herself  back,  and  saw 
•lesus  standing,  and  knew  not 
that  it  was  Jesus. 

15  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Woman, 
why  weepest  thou?  whom  se^kest 
thou?  She,  supposing  him  to  be 
the  gardener,  saith  unto  him.  Sir, 
if  thou  have  borne  him  hence,  tell 
me  where  thou  hast  laid  him,  and 
1  will  take  him  away. 

16  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Mar>'. 
She  turned  herself,  and  saith  unlo 
him,  Rahboni;  which  is  to  say, 
Master. 

17  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Touch 
me  not;  for  I  am  not  yet  ascend- 
ed to  my  Father:  but  go  to  my 
brethren,  and  saj'  unto  them,  I 
a.scend  unto  my  Father,  and  your 
Father;  and  to  my  God,  and.j'our 
God. 

18  Mary  Magdalene  came  and 
told  the  disciples  that  she  had 
seen  the  Lord,  and  that  he  had 
spoken  these  things  unto  her. 

19  H  Then  the  same  day  at  even- 
ing, being   the  first   day  of   the 


week,  when  the  doors  were  shut 
where  the  disciples  were  assem- 
bled for  fear  of  the  Jews,  came 
Jesus  and  stood  in  the  midst,  and 
saith  unto  them,  Peace  be  unto 
you. 

20  And  he  shewed  unto  them  hLs 
hands  and  his  side.  Then  were 
the  disciples  glad,  when  they  saw 
the  Lord.    See  Zee.  13.  6,  p.  485. 

21  Then  said  Jesus  again.  Peace 
be  unto  you:  as  my  Father  hath 
sent  me,  even  so  send  I  you. 

22  And  when  he  had  said  this,  he 
breathed  on  them,  and  saith  unto 
them.  Receive  ye  the  Holy  Ghost : 

23  Whosesoever  sins  ye  remit, 
they  are  remitted  unto  them ;  and 
whosesoever  sins  ye  retain,  they 
are  retained. 

24  But  Thomas,  one  of  the 
twelve,  called  Didymus,  was  not 
with  them  when  Jesus  came. 

25  The  other  disciples  therefore 
.said  unto  him.  We  have  seen  the 
Lord.  But  he  said  unto  them.  Ex- 
cept I  shall  see  in  his  hands  the 
print  of  the  nails,  and  put  my  fin- 
ger into  the  print  of  the  nails,  and 
thrust  my  hand  into  his  side,  I 
will  not  believe. 

26  And  after  eight  days  again 
his  disciples  were  within,  and 
Thomas  with  them :  then  came 
Jesus,  the  doors  being  shut,  and 
stood  in  the  midst,  and  said. 
Peace  be  unto  you. 

27  Then  saith  he  to  Thomas. 
Reach  hither  thy  finger,  and  be- 
hold my  hands;  and  reach  hither 
thy  hand,  and  thrust  it  into  my 
side ;  and  be  not  faithless,  but  be- 
lieving. 

28  And  Thomas  answered  and 
said  unto  him.  My  Lord  and  my 
God. 

29  Jesussaithuntohim, Thomas, 
because  thou  hast  seen  me,  thou 
hast  believed:  blessed  are  they 
that  have  not  seen,  and  yet  have 
believed. 

30  And  many  other  signs  truly 
did  -Jesus  in  the  presence  of  his 
disciples,  which  are  not  written 
in  this  book : 

31  But  these  are  written,  that  ye 
might  believe  that  Jesus  is  the 
Christ,  the  Son  of  God ;  and  that 
believing  ye  might  have  life 
through  his  name. 

Jno.  21—1  After  these  things  Je- 
sus shewed  himself  again  to  the 
disciples  at  the  sea  of  Tiberias; 
and  on  this  wise  shewed  he  him- 
self. 


520 


2  There  were  together  Simon  Pe- 
ter, aud  Thomas  called  Didymus, 
aud  Nathanael  of  Caiia  in  Gali- 
lee, and  the  sons  of  Zebedee,  aud 
two  other  of  his  disciples. 

3  Simon  Peter  saith  unto  them, 
I  go  a  tishing.  They  say  unto 
him.  We  also  go  with  thee.  They 
went  forth,  and  entered  into  a 
ship  immediately ;  and  that  night 
they  caught  nothing. 

4  But  when  tlie  morning  was 
now  come,  Jesus  stood  on  the 
shore ;  but  the  disciples  knew  not 
that  it  was  Jesus. 

5  Then  Jesus  saith  unto  them. 
Children,  have  ye  any  meat? 
They  answered  him.  No. 

6  And  he  said  unto  them.  Cast 
the  net  on  the  right  side  of  the 
ship,  aud  ye  shall  tind.  They  cast 
therefore,  and  now  they  were  not 
'able  to  draw  it  for  the  multitude 
of  fishes. 

7  Therefore  that  disciple  whom 
Jesus  loved  saith  unto  Peter,  It  is 
the  Lord.  Now  when  Simon  Pe- 
ter heard  that  it  was  the  Lord,  he 
gii-t  his  fisher's  coat  unto  him, 
(for  he  was  naked,  and  did  cast 
himself  into  the  sea. 

8  And  the  other  disciples  came 
in  a  little  ship,  (for  they  were  not 
far  fi-om  land,  but  as  it  were  two 
hundred  cubits,)  draggmg  the  net 
with  fishes. 

9  As  soon  then  as  they  were  come 
to  land,  they  saw  a  fire  of  coals 
there,  and  fish  laid  thereon,  and 

.  bread. 

10  Jesus  saith  imto  them,  Brmg 
of  the  hsh  which  ye  have  now 
caught. 

11  Simon  Peter  went  up,  and 
drew  the  net  to  land  full  of  great 
fishes,  a  hundred  and  fifty  and 
tln-ee:  and  for  all  there  were  so 
many,  yet  was  not  the  net  broken . 

12  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Come 
and  dine.  And  none  of  the  disci- 
ples durst  ask  liim.  Who  art  thou? 
knowing  that  it  was  the  Lord. 

13  Jesus  then  cometh,  and  tak- 
eth  bread,  and  giveth  them,  and 
fish  likewise. 

14  This  is  now  the  third  time 
that  Jesus  shewed  himself  to  his 
disciples,  after  that  he  was  risen 
from  the  dead. 

1.5  So  when  they  had  dined, 
Jesus  saith  to  Simon  Peter,  Si- 
mon, son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me 
more  than  these?  He  saith  unto 
him.  Yea,   Lord;   thou  knowest 


that  I  love  thee.    He  saith  unto 
liim.  Feed  my  lambs. 

IG  He  saith  to  him  again  the  sec- 
ond time,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas, 
lovest  thou  me?  He  saith  unto 
him.  Yea,  Lord;  thou  knowest 
that  I  love  thee.  He  saith  unto 
hiin.  Feed  my  sheep. 

17  He  saith  unto  him  the  third 
time,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest 
thou  me?  Peter  was  grieved  be- 
cause he  said  unto  him  the  third 
time,  Lovest  thou  me?  And  he 
said  unto  him.  Lord,  thou  knowest 
all  things;  thou  knowest  that  I 
love  thee.  Jesus  saith  unto  him, 
Feed  my  sheep. 

18  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
thee.  When  thou  wast  young,  thou 
girdedst  thyself,  and  walkedst 
whither  thou  wouldest :  but  when 
thou  shalt  be  old,  thou  shalt 
stretch  forth  thy  hands,  and  an- 
other shall  gird  thee,  and  can-y 
thee  whither  thou  wouldest  not. 

19  This  spake  he,  signifying  by 
what  death  he  should  glorify  God. 
And  when  he  had  spoken  this,  he 
saitli  unto  him.  Follow  me. 

20  Then  Peter,  turning  about, 
seeth  the  disciple  whom  Jesus 
loved  following ;  which  alsoleaned 
on  his  breast  at  supper,  and  said. 
Lord,  which  is  he  that  betrayeth 
thee? 

21  Peter  seeing  him  saith  to  Je- 
sus, Lord,  and  what  shall  this 
man  do? 

22  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  If  I 
will  that  he  tarry  till  1  come, 
what  is  that  to  thee?  follow  thou 
me, 

23  Then  went  this  saying  abroad 
among  the  brethren,  that  that 
disciple  should  not  die:  yet  Jesus 
said  not  unto  him,  He  shall  not 
die;  but.  If  I  will  that  he  tarry 
till  I  come,  what  is  that  to 
thee?  ,       ,  .  , 

24  This  is  the  disciple  which  tes- 
titieth  of  these  things,  and  wrote 
these  things :  and  we  know  that 
his  testimony  is  true. 

25  And  there  are  also  many  other 
things  which  Jesus  did,  the  which, 
if  they  should  be  written  every 
one,  I  suppose  that  even  the  world 
itself  could  not  contain  the  books 
that  should  be  written.    Amen. 

Mat.  28—1  In  the  end  of  the  sab- 
bath, as  it  began  to  dawn  toward 
the  first  day  of  the  week,  came 
Marv  Magdalene  and  the  other 
Mary  to  see  the  sepulchre. 


521 


2  And,  behold,  there  was  a  great 
earthquake:  for  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  descended  from  heaven,  and 
came  and  rolled  hack  the  stone 
from  the  door,  and  sat  upon  it. 

3  His  countenance  was  like 
lightning,  and  his  rainieut  white 
as  snow : 

4  And  for  fear  of  him  the  keep- 
ers did  shake,  and  became  as 
dead  men. 

5  And  the  angel  answered  and 
said  unto  the  women,  Fear  not 
ye :  for  I  know  that  ye  seek  Je- 
sus, which  was  crucified. 

6  He  is  not  here:  for  he  is  risen, 
as  he  said.  Come,  see  the  place 
where  the  Lord  lay. 

7  And  go  quickly,  and  tell  his 
disciples  that  he  is  risen  from 
the  dead!  and.  behdld.he  goeth 
before  you  into  Galilee;  there 
shall  ye  see  him:  lo,  I  have  told 
you. 

8  And  they  departed  quickly 
from  the  sepulchre  with  fear  and 
great  joy;  and  did  run  to  bring 
his  disciples  word. 

9  And  as  they  went  to  tell  his 
disciples,  behold,  Jesus  met  them, 
saying.  All  hail.  And  they  came 
and  held  him  by  the  feet,  and 
worshipped  him. 

10  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them. 
Be  not  afraid:  go  tell  mv  breth- 
ren that  they  go  into  Galilee,  and 
there  shall  they  see  me. 

11  Now  when  they  were  going, 
behold,  some  of  the  watch  came 
into  the  city,  and  shewed  unto 
the  chief  priests  all  the  things 
that  were  done. 

12  And  when  they  were  assem- 
bled with  the  elders,  and  had 
taken  counsel,  they  gave  large 
money  unto  the  soldiers, 

13  Saying.  Say  ye,  His  disciples 
came  by  night,  and  stole  him 
away  while  we  slept. 

14  And  if  this  come  to  the  gov- 
ernor's ears,  we  will  persuade  him, 
and  secure  you. 

15  So  they  took  the  money,  and 
did  as  tliey  were  taught:  and 
this  saying  is  commonly  reported 
among  the  Jews  until  this  day. 

16  Then  the  eleven  disciples 
went  away  into  Galilee,  into  a 
mountain  where  Jesus  had  ap- 
pointed them. 

17  And  when  they  saw  him, 
they  worshipped  him:  but  some 
doubted. 

18  And  Jesus  came  and  spake 
auto  them,  saying,  All  power  is 


given  unto  me  in  heaven  and  in 
earth. 

19  Go  ye  therefore,  and  teach 
all  nations,  baptizing  them  in  the 
name  of  the  Father,  and  of  tlie 
Son, and  of  the  Holy  Ghost: 

20  Teaching  them  to  observe 
all  things  whatsoever  I  have  com- 
manded you:  and,  lo,  1  am  with 
you  alway,  even  unto  the  end  of 
the  world.    Amen. 

Mar.  1(5—1  And  when  the  sab- 
bath was  past,  Mary  Magdalene, 
and  Mary  the  motlier  of  James, 
and  Salome,  had  bought  sweet 
spices,  that  they  might  come  and 
anoint  him. 

2  And  very  early  in  the  morn- 
ing, the  first  day  of  the  week, 
they  came  unto  the  sepulchre  at 
the  riang  of  the  sun. 

3  And  they  said  among  them- 
selves. Who  shall  roll  us  away  the 
stone  from  the  door  of  the  sepul- 
chre? 

4  And  when  they  looked,  they 
saw  that  the  stone  was  rolled 
away :  for  it  was  very  great. 

5  And  entering  into  the  sepul- 
chre, they  saw  a  young  man  sit- 
ting on  the  right  side,  clothed  in 
a  long  white  garment ;  and  they 
were  affrighted. 

6  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Be 
not  affrighted:  ye  seek  Jesus  of 
Nazareth,  which  was  crucified: 
he  is  risen ;  he  is  not  here :  behold 
the  place  where  they  laid  him. 

7  But  go  your  way,  tell  his  dis- 
ciples and  Peter  that  he  goeth  be- 
fore you  into  Galilee:  there  shall 
ye  see  him,  as  he  said  unto  you. 

8  And  tliey  went  oitt  quickly, 
and  tied  from  the  sepulchre ;  for 
they  trembled  and  were  amazed: 
neither  said  they  any  thing  to  any 
man;  for  they  were  afraid. 

9  Now  when  Jesus  was  risen 
early  the  first  day  of  the  week, 
he  appeared  first  to  Mary  Magda- 
lene, out  of  whom  he  had  cast 
seven  devils. 

10  And  she  went  and  told  them 
that  had  been  with  him,  as  they 
mourned  and  wept. 

11  And  they,  when  they  had 
heard  that  he  was  alive,  and  had 
been  seen  of  her,  believed  not. 

12  After  that  he  appeared  in 
another  form  unto  tM'o  of  them, 
as  they  walked,  and  went  into 
the  country. 

13  And  they  went  and  told  it 
unto  the  residue:  neither  be- 
lieved they  them. 


14  Afterward  he  appeared  un- 
to the  eleven  as  they  sat  at  meat, 
and  upbraided  them  with  their 
unbelief  and  hardness  of  heart, 
because  they  believed  not  them 
which  had  seen  him  after  he  was 
risen. 

15  And  he  said  unto  them,  do 
ye  into  all  the  world,  and  preach 
the  gospel  to  every  creature. 

16  He  that  believeth  and  is  bap- 
tized shall  be  saved ;  but  he  that 
believeth  not  shall  be  damned. 

17  And  these  signs  shall  follow 
them  that  believe;  In  my  name 
shall  they  cast  out  devils;  they 
shall  speak  with  new  tongues; 

18  They  shall  take  up  serpents; 
and  if  they  drink  any  deadly 
thing,  it  shall  not  hurt  them ;  they 
shall  lay  hands  on  the  siak,  and 
they  shall  recover. 

19  So  then,  after  the  Lord  had 
spoken  unto  them,  he  was  re- 
ceived up  into  heaven,  and  sat  on 
the  right  hand  of  God. 

20  And  they  went  forth,  and 
preached  every  where,  the  Lord 
working  with  them,  and  conhrm- 
ing  the  word  with  signs  following. 
Amen.  ,.       ^ 

Lu.  21—1  Now  upon  the  nrst  day 
of  the  week,  very  early  in  the 
moruine,  they  came  unto  the  sep- 
ulchre, oringmg  the  spices  which 
they  had  prepared,  and  certain 
others  with  them. 

2  And  they  found  the  stone  roll- 
ed awav  from  the  sepulchre. 

3  And  they  entered  In,  and  found 
not  the  body  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
were  much  perplexed  thereabout, 
behold,  two  men  stood  by  them 
in  shining  garments: 

5  And  as  they  were  afraid,  and 
bowed  down  their  faces  to  the 
earth,  they  said  unto  them.  Why 
seek  ye  the  living  among  the 
dead? 

G  He  is  not  here,  but  is  risen :  re- 
member how  he  spake  unto  you 
when  he  was  yet  in  Galilee, 

7  Saving,  The  Son  of  man  must 
be  delivered  into  the  hands  of 
sinful  men,  and  be  crucified,  and 
the  third  day  rise  again.  . 

8  And  they  remembered  his 
words, 

9  And  returned  from  the  sepul- 
chre, and  told  all  these  things  un- 
to the  eleven,  and  to  all  the  rest. 

10  It  was  Mary  Magdalene,  and 
Joanna,  and  Mary  the  mother  of 


James,  and  other  women  that 
were  with  them,  which  told  these 
things  unto  the  apostles. 

11  And  their  words  seemed  to 
them  as  idle  tales,  and  they  be- 
lieved them  not. 

12  Then  arose  Peter,  and  ran 
unto  the  sepulchre ;  and  stooping 
dovra,  he  beheld  the  linen  clothes 
laid  by  themselves,  and  departed, 
wondering  in  himself  at  that 
which  was  come  to  pass. 

13  And,  behold,  two  of  them 
went  that  same  day  to  a  village 
called  Emmaus,  which  was  from 
Jerusalem  about  threescore  fur- 
longs. 

14  And  they  talked  together  of 
all  these  things  which  nad  hap- 
pened. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
while  they  communed  together 
and  reasoned,  Jesus  himself  drew 
near,  and  went  with  them. 

16  But  their  eyes  were  holden 
that  they  should  not  know  him. 

17  And  he  said  unto  them,  What 
manner  of  communications  are 
these  that  ye  have  one  to  another, 
as  ve  walk,  and  are  sad? 

18  And  the  one  of  them,  whose 
name  was  Cleopas,  answering  said 
unto  him,  Art  thou  only  a  stranger 
in  Jerusalem,  and  hast  not  known 
the  things  which  are  come  to  pass 
there  in  these  days? 

19  And  he  said  unto  them,  What 
things?  And  they  said  unto  him. 
Couceniing  Jesus  of  Nazareth, 
which  was  a  prophet  mighty  in 
deed  and  word  before  God  and  all 
the  people:  .  .   „     .  , 

20  And  how  the  chief  priests  and 
our  rulers  delivered  him  to  be 
condemned  to  death,  and  have 
cnicitied  him.  . 

21  But  we  trusted  that  it  had 
been  he  which  should  have  re- 
deemed Israel:  and  beside  all 
this,  to  day  is  the  third  day  since 
these  things  were  done. 

22  Yea,  and  certain  women  also 
of  our  company  made  us  astonish- 
ed, which  were  early  at  the  sep- 
ulchre; 

23  And  when  they  found  not  his 
body,  they  came,  saying,  that  they 
had  also  seen  a  vision  of  angels, 
which  said  that  he  was  alive.  . 

24  And  certain  of  them  which 
were  with  us  went  to  the  sepul- 
chre, and  found  it  even  so  as  the 
women  had  said:  but  him  they 
saw  not. 


523 


25  Then  he  said  i;nto  them, 
fools,  and    slow  of   heart  to  be- , 
lieve  all  that  the  prophets  have 
spoken : 

26  Ought  not  Christ  to  have  suf- 
fered these  things,  and  to  enter 
into  his  glory? 

27  And  beginning  at  Moses  and 
all  the  prophets,  he  expounded 
unto  them  in  all  the  Scriptures 
the  things  concerning  himself. 

28  And  they  drew  nigh  unto  the 
village,  whither  they  went:  and 
lie  made  as  though  he  would  have 
gone  further. 

2i)  But  they  constrained  him, 
saying.  Abide  with  us;  for  it  is 
toward  evening,  and  the  day  is 
far  spent.  And  he  went  in  to 
tarry  with  them. 

3()  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  sat 
at  meat  with  them,  he  took  bread, 
and  blessed  it,  and  brake,  and 
gave  to  them. 

31  And  their  eyes  were  opened, 
and  they  knew  him ;  and  he  van- 
ished out  of  their  sight. 

32  And  they  said  one  to  another. 
Did  not  our  heart  burn  within  us, 
while  he  talked  with  us  by  the 
way,  and  while  he  opened  to  us 
the  Scriptures? 

33  And  they  rose  up  the  same 
hour,  and  returned  to  Jerusalem, 
and  found  the  eleven  gathered  to- 
gether, and  them  that  were  with 
them, 

34  Saying,  The  Lord  is  risen  in- 
deed,and  hath  appeared  to  Simon. 

35  And  they  told  what  things 
were  done  in  the  way,  and  how  he 
was  known  of  them  in  breaking 
of  bread. 

3C  And  as  they  thus  spake,  Je- 
sus Tiimself  stood  in  the  midst 
of  -them,  and  saith  unto  them. 
Peace  be  unto  you. 

37  But  they  were  terrified  and 
affrighted,  and  supposed  that 
they  had  seen  a  spirit. 

38  And  he  said  unto  them.  Why 
are  ye  troubled?  and  why  do 
thoughts  arise  in  yoiu  hearts? 

39  Behold  my  hands  and  my 
feet,  that  it  is  I  myself:  handle 
me,  and  see ;  for  a  spirit  hath  not 
Hesh  and  bones,  as  ye  see  me  have. 

40  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  shewed  them  his  hands  and 
his  feet. 

41  And  while  they  yet  believed 
not  for  joy,  and  wondered,  he  said 
unto  them,  Have  ye  here  any 
meat? 


42  And  they  gave  him  a  piece  of 
a  broiled  fish,  and  of  a  honey- 
comb. 

43  And  he  took  it,  and  did  eat 
before  them. 

44  And  he  said  unto  them,  These 
are  the  words  which  I  spake  unto 
you,  while  I  was  yet  with  you. 
that  all  things  must  be  fulfilled, 
which  were  written  in  the  law  of 
Moses,  and  in  the  prophets,  and 
in  the  psalms,  concerning  me. 

45  Then  opened  he  their  under- 
standing, that  they  might  under- 
stand the  Scriptures, 

46  And  said  unto  them.  Thus  it 
is  written,  and  thus  it  behooved 
Christ  to  suif er,  and  to  rise  from 
the  dead  the  third  day: 

47  And  that  repentance  and  re- 
mission of  sins  should  be  preached 
in  his  name  among  all  nations, 
beginning  at  Jerusalem. 

48  And  ye  are  witnesses  of  these 
things. 

49  And,  behold,  I  send  the  prom- 
ise of  my  Father  upon  you:  but 
tarry  ye  in  the  city  of  Jerusalem, 
until  ye  be  endued  with  power 
from  on  high. 

50  H  And  lie  led  them  out  as  far 
as  to  Bethany,  and  he  lifted  up 
liis  hands,  and  blessed  themi. 

51  And  it  came  to  pass,  while  he 
blessed  them,  he  was  parted  from 
them,  and  carried  up  into  heaven. 

52  And  they  worshipped  him. 
and  returned  to  Jerusalem  with 
great  joy : 

53  And  were  continually  in  the 
temple,  praising  and  blessing  God. 
Amen. 

Ac.  1—1  The  former  treatise  have 
I  made,  O  Theophilus,  of  all  that 
Jesus  began  botli  to  do  and  teach, 

2  Until  the  day  in  which  he  was 
taken  up,  after  that  he  through 
the  Holy  Ghost  had  given  com- 
mandments unto  the  apostles 
whom  he  had  chosen: 

3  To  whom  also  he  shewed  him- 
self alive  after  his  passion  by 
many  infallible  proofs,  oeing  seen 
of  them  forty  days,  and  speakmg 
of  the  things  nertaining  to  the 
kingdom  of  God : 

4  And,  being  assembled  togeth- 
er with  them,  commanded  them 
that  they  should  not  depart  from 
Jerusalem,  but  wait  for  the  prom- 
ise of  the  Father,  which,  saith  he. 
ye  have  heard  of  me. 

5  For  John  truly  baptized  with 
water;  but  ye  shall  he  baptized 


524 


with  tlie  Holy  Ghost  not  mauy 
days  hence 

6  Whentheywerecome  together, 
they  asked  of  him,  saying,  Lord, 
wilt  thou  at  this  time  restore 
again  the  kingdom  to  Israel  ? 

7  And  he  said  unto  them.  It  is 
not  tor  you  to  know  the  times  or 
the  seasons,which  the  Father  hath 
put  in  his  own  power. 

8  But  ye  shall  receive  power, 
after  that  the  Holy  Ghost  is  come 
upon  you:  and  ye  shall  be  wit- 
nesses unto  me  both  in  Jerusalem, 
Judea,  Samaria,  and  unto  the  ut- 
termost part  of  the  earth. 

9  And  when  he  had  spoken  the.se 
things,  while  they  beheld,  he  was 
taken  up;  and  a  cloud  received 
him  out  of  their  sight. 

10  And  while  they  looked  stead- 
fa.stly  toward  heaven  as  he  went 
up, behold,  twomeu  stood  by  them 
in  white  apparel ; 

11  Which  also  said.  Ye  men  of 
Galilee,  why  stand  ye  gazmg  up 
into  heaven  ?  this  same  Jesus, 
which  is  taken  up  from  you,  shall 
so  come  in  like  manner  as  ye  have 
seen  him  go  into  heaven. 

12  Then  returned  they  to  Jeru- 
salem from  mount  Olivet,  which 
is  a  sabbath  day's  iournev. 

1  Co.  15—3  For  I  Paul  delivered 
unto  you  tirst  of  all  that  which  1 
also  received,  how  that  Clu-ist  died 
for  our  sins  according  to  the  Scrip- 
tures ; 

4  And  that  he  was  buried,  and 
that  he  rose  again  the  third  day 
according  to  the  Scriptures: 

5  And  that  he  was  seen  of  Ce- 
phas, then  of  the  twelve: 

6  After  that,  lie  was  seen  of 
above  live  himdred  brethren  at 
once;  of  whom  the  greater  part 
remain  unto  this  present,  but  some 
are  fallen  asleep. 

7  After  that,  he  was  seen  of 
James;  then  of  all  the  apostles. 

8  And  last  of  all  he  was  seen  of 
tne  also,  as  of  one  bom  out  of  due 
time. 

9  For  I  am  the  least  of  the  apos- 
tles, that  am  not  meet  to  be  called 
an  apostle,  because  I  persecuted 
the  church  of  God. 

10  But  by  the  grace  of  God  I  am 
■what  I  am :  and  his  grace  which 
was  bestowed  upon  me  was  not  in 
vain ;  but  I  laboured  more  abun- 
dantly than  they  all:  yet  not  I, 
but  the  grace  of  God  which  was 
Tvith  me. 


ANTICHRIST.  See  also  Mat. 
24.  5,  23,  24,  p.  487 ;  Ac.  5,  p.  529. 

1  Jno.  2—18  Little  children,  it  is 
the  last  time:  and  as  ye  have 
heard  that  antichrist  shall  come, 
even  now  are  there  many  anti 
christs ;  whereby  we  know  that  it 
is  the  last  time. 

22  Who  is  a  liar  but  he  that 
denieth  that  Jesus  is  the  Christ  ? 
He  is  antichrist,  that  denieth  the 
Father  and  the  Son. 

1  Jno.  4—1  Beloved,  believe  not 
every  spirit,  but  try  the  spirits 
whether  they  are  of  God:  because 
many  false  prophets  are  gone  out 
into  the  world. 

2  Hereby  know  ye  the  Spirit  of 
God:  Every  spirit  that  confessetii 
that  Jesus  Christ  is  come  in  the 
tiesli  is  of  God : 

3  And  every  spirit  that  confess- 
eth  not  that  Jesus  Christ  is  come 
in  the  flesh  is  not  of  God .  and  this 
is  that  spirit  of  antichrist,  whereof 
ye  have  heard  that  it  should  come ; 
and  even  now  already  is  it  in  the 
world. 

2  Jno.  1—7  For  many  deceivers 
are  entered  into  the  world,  who 
confess  not  that  Jesus  Christ  is 
come  in  the  flesh.  This  is  a  de- 
ceiver and  an  antichrist. 

PETER  HEALS  A  CRIPPLE. 

Ac.  3—1  Now  Peter  and  John 
went  up  together  into  the  temple 
at  the  horn'  of  prayer,  being  the 
ninth  hour. 

2  And  a  certain  man  lame  from 
his  mother's  womb  was  earned, 
whom  they  laid  daily  at  the  gate 
ofthe  temple  which  iscalled  Beau- 
tiful, to  asK  alms  of  them  that  en- 
tered into  the  temple ; 

3  Who,  seeing  Peter  and  John 
about  to  go  into  the  temple,  asked 
an  alms. 

4  And  Peter,  fastening  his  eyes 
upon  hini  with  John,  said.  Look 
on  us. 

5  And  he  gave  heed  unto  them, 
expecting  to  receive  something  of 
them. 

6  Then  Perer  said.  Silver  and 
gold  have  I  none;  but  such  as  I 
have  give  I  thee:  In  the  name  of 
Jesus  Clu-ist  of  Nazareth  rise  up 
and  walk. 

7  And  he  took  him  by  the  right 
hand,  and  lifted  him  up:  and  im- 
mediately hisfeet  and  ankle  bones 
received  strength. 


8  And  lie  leaping  up  stood,  and 
walked,  and  entered  with  them 
into  the  temple,  walking,  and 
leaping,  and  praising  God. 

DEATH  OF  ANANIAS  AND 
SAPPHIRA. 

Ac.  5—1-  But  a  certain  man 
named  Ananias,  with  Sapphira 
his  wife,  sold  a  possession, 

2  And  kept  back  part  of  the 
price,  his  wife  also  be  big  privy  to 
it,  and  broiiglit  a  certain  part,  and 
laid  it  at  the  apostles'  feet. 

3  But  Peter  said,  Ananias,  why 
hath  Satan  filled  thine  heart  to  lie 
to  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  to  keep 
back  part  of  the  price  of  the  land  ? 

4  W  bile  it  remained,  was  it  not 
thine  own  ?  and  after  it  was  sold, 
was  it  not  in  thine  own  power? 
why  hast  thou  conceived  this 
thing  in  thine  heart  ?  thou  hast 
not  lied  ruito  men,  but  unto  God. 

5  And  Ananias  hearing  these 
words  fell  down,  and  gave  up  the 
ghost :  and  great  fear  came  on  all 
them  that  heard  these  things. 

6  And  the  young  men  arose, 
wound  him  up,  and  carried  him 
out,  and  buried  him. 

7  And  it  was  about  the  space  of 
three  hours  after,  when  his  wife, 
not  knowing  what  was  done, 
came  in. 

8  And  Peter  answered  unto  her. 
Tell  me  whether  ye  sold  the  land 
for  so  much  ?  And  she  said,  Yea, 
for  so  much. 

9  Then  Peter  said  unto  her.  How 
is  it  that  ye  have  agreed  together 
to  tempt  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  ? 
behold,  the  feet  of  them  which 
have  buried  thy  husband  are  at 
the  door,  and  shall  carry  thee  out. 

10  Then  fell  she  down  straight- 
way at  his  feet,  and  yielded  up  the 
ghost:  and  the  youug  men  came 
ni,  and  found  her  dead,  and,  carry- 
ing her  forth,  buried  her  by  her 
husband. 

11  And  great  fear  came  upon  all 
the  church,  and  upon  as  many  as 
heard  these  things. 

PHILIP  AND  THE    EUNUCH. 

Ac.  8—26  And  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  spake  unto  Philip,  saying. 
Arise,  and  go  toward  the  .south, 
unto  the  way  that  goeth  down 
from  Jerusalem  unto  Gaza. 

27  And  he  arose  and  went:  and, 
behold,    a    man    of    Ethiopa,    a 


525 


eunuch  of  great  authority  under 
Candace  queen  of  the  Ethiopians, 
who  had  the  charge  of  all  her 
trea.sure,  and  had  come  to  Jerusa- 
lem for  to  worship, 

28  Was  returning,  and  sitting  in 
his  chariotread  Esaiasthepropliet. 

29  Then  tlie  Spirit  said  unto 
Philip,  Go  near. 

30  And  Philip  ran  thither  to  him, 
and  heard  him  read  the  prophet 
Esaias,  and  said,  Understaudest 
thou  what  thou  readest? 

31  And  he  said.  How  can  I,  ex- 
cept some  man  should  guide  me  ?  - 
And  he   desired  Philip  that    he 
would  come  up  and  sit  with  him. 

32  The  place  of  the  Scripture 
which  he  read  was  this.He  was  led 
as  a  sheep  to  the  slaughter-  and 
like  a  lauib  dumb  before  his  shear- 
er, so  opened  he  not  his  mouth: 

33  In  his  humiliation  his  judg- 
ment was  taken  iiway:  and  who 
shall  declare  his  generation  ?  for 
his  life  is  taken  from  the  earth. 

34  And  the  eunuch  answered 
Philip,  and  said,  I  pray  thee,  of 
whom  speaketh  the  prophet  ? 

35  Then  Philipopened  his  mouth, 
and  began  at  the  same  Scripture, 
and  preached  unto  him  Jesus. 

36  And  as  they  went  on  their 
way,  they  came  unto  a  certam 
water:  and  the  eunuch  said,  See. 
here  is  water:  what  doth  hmder 
me  to  be  baptized  '? 

37  And  Philip  said.  If  thou  be- 
lievest  with  all  thine  heart,  thou 
mayest.  And  he  answered  and 
said,  1  believe  that  Jesus  Christ  is 
the  Son  of  God. 

38  And  he  commanded  the  char- 
iot to  stand  still .  and  they  went 
down  both  into  the  water,  both 
Philip  and  the  eunuch;  and  he 
baptized  him. 

39  And  when  they  were  come  up 
out  of  the  water,  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  caught  away  Philip,  that  tbe 
eunuch  saw  him  no  more :  and  he 
went  on  his  way  rejoicing. 

CONVERSION  OF  SAUL.

Ac.  9—1  And  Saul,  yet  breathing 
out  threatenings  and  slaughtei* 
against  the  disciples  of  the  Lord, 
went  unto  the  high  priest. 


526 


2  And  desired  of  him  letters  to 
Damascus  to  the  syuagogues, 
that  if  he  foiiud  any  of  this  way, 
whether  they  wei-e  men  or  wo- 
men, he  mi^ht  bring  them  boimd

3  And  as  he  jo\anieyed,  he 
came  near  Damascus:  and  siid- 
denly  tliere  shiued  round  about 
him  a  lia;ht  from  heaven : 

i  And  lie  fell  to  the  earth,  and 
heard  a  voice  sayuig  unto  him, 
Saul,  Saul,  why  persecutest  thou 
me? 

5  And  he  said.  Who  art  thou, 
Lord?  And  the  Lord  s;xid,  I  am 
Jesus  whom  thou  persecutest :  it 
is  hard  for  thee  to  kick  against 
the  pricks. 

6  And  he  trembling  and  aston- 
ished said.  Lord,  what  wilt  thou 
have  me  to  do?  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  him.  Arise,  and  go  into 
the  citv,  and  it  shall  be  told  thee 
what  thou  must  do. 

7  And  the  men  which  ioumeyed 
-with  him  stood  speechless,  hear- 
ing a  voice,  but  seeing  no  man. 

S  Ami  Saul  arose  from  the 
earth;  and  when  his  eyes  were 
openevi,  lie  saw  no  man:  but  they 
led  him  bv  the  hand,  and  brought 
him  into  Damascus. 

y  And  he  was  three  days  without 
sight, and  neither  did  eat  nordrink. 

10  And  there  was  a  certain  dis- 
ciple at  Damascus,  named  Ana- 
nias; and  to  him  said  the  Lord  in 
a  vision,  Ananias.  And  he  said, 
Behold.  I  am  here.  Lord. 

11  And  the  Lord  s;iid  unto  him. 
Arise,  and  go  into  the  street 
which  is  called  Straight,  and  in- 
quire in  the  houvse  of  Judas  for 
one  called  Saul,  of  Tarsus. 

15  For  he  is  a  chosen  vessel  un- 
to me,  to  bear  my  name  before 
the  Gentiles,  and  kings,  and  the 
children  of  Israel: 

16  For  1  will  shew  him  how 
great  things  he  must  suffer  for 
my  name's  sake. 

17  And  Auauias  went  his  way. 
and  entered  into  the  house;  and 
putting  his  hands  on  him  said, 
Brot  her  Saul,  the  Lord,  even  Jesus, 
that  appeared  imtothee  iiithe  way 
as  thou  camest,  hath  sent  me,  that 
tliou  mishtest  receive  thy  sight, 
and  be  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

18  And  immediately  tliere  fell 
from  his  eves  as  it  had  been  scales : 
and  he  received  sight  forthwith, 
and  arose,  and  wasbaptized. 


10  And  when  he  had  received 
meat,  he  was  strengthened.  Then 
was  Saul  certain  days  wit  h  the  dis- 
ciples which  were  at  l>amascus. 

•Ji)  And  straightway  he  preached 
Christ  in  the  synagogues,  that  he 
is  the  Son  of  God. 

•J3  And  after  that  many  days 
were  fultiUed,  the  Jews  took 
coiuisel  to  kill  him: 

•J4  But  their  laying  wait  was 
known  of  Saul.  And  they  watch- 
ed the  gates  day  and  night  to  kill 
him. 

■26  Then  the  disciples  took  him 
by  night,  and  let  iiim  down  by 
the  wall  in  a  basket. 

■X  And  when  Saul  was  come  to 
Jerusalem,  he  assayed  to  join 
himself  to  the  disciples. 

2  Co.  11—23  I  am  more ;  in  la- 
boui-s  more  abundant,  in  stripes 
above  measure,  in  prisons  more 
freiiuent,  in  deaths  oft. 

24  Of  the  Jews  live  times  re- 
ceived I  forty  stripes  save  one. 

25  Thrice  was  I  beaten  with 
rods,  once  was  I  stoned,  thrice  1 
suffered  shipwreck,  a  night  and  a 
day  I  have  been  in  the  deep; 

26  In  jourueyiiigs  often,  in  perils 
of  waters,  in  perils  of  robbers,  in 
perils  by  mine  owij  countrymen, 
in  perils  by  the  heathen,  in  perils 
in  the  city,  in  perils  in  the  wilder- 
ness, in  perils  m  the  sea,  in  perils 
among  false  brethren; 

27  In  weariness  and  painfulness. 
in  watchings  often,  in  hunger 
and  thii-st.  in  fastings  often,  in 
cold  and  nakedness. 

28  Besides  those  things  that  are 
without,  that  which  cometli  up- 
on me  daily,  the  care  of  all  the 
churches. 

32  In  Damascus  the  governor 
under  Aretas  the  king  kept  the 
city  of  the  Damascenes  with  a  gar- 
rison, desirous  to  apprehend  me : 

33  And  through  a  window  in  a 
basket  was  I  let  do^^ni  by  the  wall, 
and  escaped  his  hands.  Ac.  9.  25,

Peter    healeth    Eneas   of  the 

Bilsy,  and  restoreth  Tabitha.  or 
orcas,  to  life. 

Ac.  9—32  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
Peter  passed  throughout  all  quar- 
ters, he  came  down  also  to  the 
s;iints  which  dwelt  at  Lydda. 

33  And  there  he  found  a  certain 
man  named  Eneas,  which  had 


527 


kept  his  bed  eight  years,  and  was 
sick  of  the  palsy. 

?A  And  Peter  said  unto  him, 
Eneas.  Jesus  Christ  maketli  th<.-(^ 
whole:  arise,  and  make  thy  bed. 
And  he  arose  immediately. 

36  Now  there  was  at  Joppa  a 
certain  dis<*ii>le  named  lahitha, 
which  by  interpretation  is  called 
J>orcas:  this  woman  was  luU.ot 
>,'ood  works  and  almsdeeds  which 
she  did.  .    ^, 

:j7  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those 
days,  that  she  was  sick,  and  died : 
whom  when  they  had  washed, 
they  laid  her  in  an  upperchainber. 

38  And  forasmuch  asLydda  \vas 
nijrh  to  .Joppa.  and  the  disciples 
had  heard  that  Peter  was  there, 
they  sent  unto  him  two  men,  de- 
siring him  that  he  would  not  de- 
lay to  come  to  them. 

39  Then  Peter  arose  and  went 
with  them.  When  he  was  come, 
they  brought  him  into  the  upper 
chamber:  and  allthewidowsstood 
by  him  weeping,  and  shewuig  the 
coats  and  garments  winch  Dorcas 
made,  while  she  was  with  them. 

40  But  Peter  put  them  all  forth, 
and  kneeled  down,  and  prayed  ; 
and  turning  him  to  the  body  said, 
Tabitha,  arise.  And  she  opened 
her  eyes:  and  when  she  saw  Peter. 

she  sat  up.  ,        v.  •    i,      .i 

41  And  he  gave  her  his  hand, 
and  lifted  her  up;  and  when  lie 
had  called  the  saints  and  widows, 
he  presented  her  alive. 

42  And  it  was  known  through- 
out all  Joppa;  and  many  believed 
in  the  Lord.  .,    .  ,  ^ 

4:i  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  he 
tarried  many  days  in  Joppa  with 
one  Simon  a  tanner. 

Herod  kills  James,  one  of  the 
Apostles.  Peter  in  pris<jn;  his 
miraculous  deliverance.  Herod 
killed  by  an  angel. 

^c  12—1  Herod  the  king 
stretched  forth  his  hands  to  vex 
certain  of  the  church. 

2  And  he  killed  James  the  broth- 
er of  John  with  the  sword. 

3  And  because  he  saw  it  pleased 
the  Jews,  he  proceeded  further  to 
take  Peter  also.         .        .  , 

4  And  he  put  Viim  m  prison,  and 
delivered  him  to  four  quaternions 
of  soldiers  to  keephim ;.  mtemling 
after  Easter  to  bring  him  forth  to 
the  people. 


5  Peter  was  kept  in  prison :  but 
prayer  was  made  without  ceasing 
of  the  church  unto  God  for  him. 

c,  And  when  Herod  would  liaye 
brought  him  forth,  the  same  night 
Peter  was  sleeping  between  two 
soldiers,  bound  with  two  chains: 
and  the  keepers  before  the  door 
kept  the  prison.  ,     ,  ^. 

7  And.  behold,  the  angel  of  tne 
Lord  came  upon  him,  and  a  light 
sinned  in  the  prison :  and  he  smote 
Peter  on  the  side,  and  raised  hnn 
up.  savi  ng,  Arise  up  quickly.  And 
his  chains  fell  off  from  his  hands. 

8  And  the  angel  said  unto  him, 
Gird  thyself,  and  bind  on  thy  san- 
dals: aiuLsohedld.  Andhesaith 
unto  him,  Cast  thy  garment  about 
thee,  and  follow  me. 

9  And  he  went  out,  and  followed 
him ;  and  wist  not  tliat  it  was  true 
which  was  done  by  the  angel;  but 
thought  he  saw  a  visioih 

10  \Vhen  they  were  past  the  hrst 
and  the  second  ward,  they  came 
unto  the  iron  gate  that  leadeth 
unto  the  cltv;  which  opened  to 
them  of  his  own  accord :  and  thev 
went  out.  and  passed  on  through 
one  street;  and  forthwith  the  an- 
gel departed  from  inrn.        . 

12  And  when  he  had  considered 
tlie  thing,  he  came  to  the  house  of 
Mary  the  mother  of  John,  who.se 
surname  was  Mark;  where  many 
were  gathered  together  praying. 

13  And  as  Peter  knocked  at  the 
door  of  the  gate,  a  damsel  came  to 
hearken,  named  Rhoda. 

14  And  when  she  knew  Peters 
voice,  she  opened  not  the  gate  lor 
gladness,  but  ran  in,  and  told  hov/ 
Peter  stood  before  the  gate. 

15  And  they  said  unto  her.  Thou 
art  mad.  But  she  constantly  af- 
firmed that  it  was  even  so.  ihen 
said  they.  It  is  his  angel. 

16  But  Peter  continued  knock- 
ing: and  when  they  had  opened 
the  dof.r,  and  saw  him.  they  were 
a.stonished.  ,      ,       .  .     ..^^ 

17  But  he.  beckoning  unto  them 
with  the  hand  to  hold  their  peace, 
declared  unto  them  how  the  Lord 
had  brought  him  out  of  the  prison. 
\nd  he  said.  Go  shew  these  things 
unto  James,  and  to  the  brethren. 
And  he  departed,  and  went  into 
another  place.  . 

18  Now  as  soon  as  it  was  day. 

there  was  no  small  stir  amoiig  the 

soldiers,  what  wasbecome  of  Peter. 

1     19  And  when  Herod  had  sought 


for  hmi,  and  found  him  not,  he 
examhied  the  keepers,  and  com- 
manded that  theyshould  be  put  to 
death.  And  he  went  down  from 
Judea  to  Cesarea.aud  there  abode. 

20  And  Herod  was  highly  dis- 
pleased with  them  of  Tyre  and  Si- 
don:  but  they  came  with  one  ac- 
cord to  him,  and,  having  made 
Blastus  the  king's  chamberlain 
their  friend,  desired  peace;  be- 
cause their  country  was  nourished 
by  the  king's  country. 

21  And  upon  a  set  day  Herod, 
arrayed  in  royal  apparel,  sat  upon 
his  throne,  and  made  au  oration 
unto  them. 

22  And  the  people  gave  a  shout, 
saying,  It  is  the  voice  of  a  god, 
and  not  of  a  man. 

23  And  immediately  the  angel 
of  the  Lord  smote  him,  because 
he  gave  not  God  the  glory :  and  he 
was  eatei^  of  worms,  and  gave  up 
the  ghost. 

Bar-jesus,  or  Elymas  the  sor- 
cerer, struck  blind  by  Paul. 

Ac.  13—6  And  when  Barnabas 
and  haul  had  gone  through  the 
isle  unto  Paphos,they  found  a  cer- 
tain sorcerer,  a  false  prophet,  a 
Jew,  whose  name  was  Bar-jesus: 

7  Which  was  with  the  deputy  of 
the  country,  Sergius  Paulus.  a 
prudent  man ;  who  called  for  Bar- 
nabas and  Saul,  and  desired  to 
hear  the  word  of  God. 

8  But  Elymas  the  sorcerer  (for 
so  is  his  name  by  interpreta- 
tion) withstood  them,  seeking  to 
turn  away  the  deputy  fi-om  the 
faith. 

9  Then  Saul,  (who  also  is  called 
Paul,)  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost, 
set  his  eyes  on  him, 

10  And  said.O  full  of  all  subtiltv 
and  all  mischief,  thou  child  of  the 
devil,thou  enemy  of  all  righteous- 
ness, wilt  thou  not  cease  to  per- 
vert the  right  ways  of  the  Lord? 

11  And  now,  behold,  the  hand  of 
the  Lord  is  upon  thee,  and  thou 
Shalt  be  blind,  not  seeing  the  sun 
for  a  season.  And  immediately 
there  fell  on  him  a  mist  and  a 
darkness  ;and  he  went  about  seek- 
mg  some  to  lead  him  by  the  hand. 

12  Then  the  deputy.when  he  saw 
what  was  done,  believed,  being 
astonished  at  the  doctrine  of  the 
Lord. 


Paul  heals  a  cripple.  The  Jews 
persuaded  the  people  to  stone 
him. 

Ac.  14—8  There  sat  a  man  at  Lys- 
tra,  impotent  in  his  feet/beiug  a 
cripple  from  his  mother's  womb, 
who  never  had  walked: 

9  The  same  heard  Paul  speak: 
who  steadfastly  beholding  him, 
and  perceiving  that  he  had  faith 
to  be  healed, 

10  Said  with  a  loud  voice,  Stand 
upright  on  thy  feet.  And  he 
leaped  and  walked. 

11  And  when  the  people  saw 
what  Paul  had  done,  they  lifted 
up  their  voices,  saying  in  tlie 
speech  of  Lycaonia,  The  gods  are 
come  down  to  us  in  the  likeness  of 
men. 

19  And  there  came  thither  cer- 
tam  Jews  from  Antioch  and  Ico- 
nium.  who  persuaded  the  people, 
and.having  stoned  Paul.drew  him 
put  of  the  city,  supposing  he  had 
been  dead. 

20  Howbeit,  as  the  disciples 
stood  round  about  him,  he  rose 
up,  and  came  into  the  city. 

Paul  raised  Eutychus  to  life. 

Ac.  20— 6  And  we  sailed  away 
from  Philippi,  and  came  to  Troas 
in  ti ve  days  ;where  we  abode  seven 
days. 

7  And  upon  the  first  day  of 
the  week.when  the  disciples  came 
together  to  break  bread,  Paul 
preached  unto  them,  and  con- 
tmued  his  speech  until  midnight. 

8  And  there  were  many  lights  in 
the  upper  chamber,  where  they 
were  gathered  together. 

9  And  there  sat  in  a  window  a 
certain  young  man  named  Eutv- 
chus,  being  fallen  into  a  dee'p 
sleep:  and  as  Paul  was  long 
preaching  he  sunk  down  witli 
sleep.and  fell  down  from  the  third 
loft,  and  was  taken  up  dead. 

10  And  Paul  went  down,  and 
fell  on  him,  and  embracing  him 
said.  Trouble  not  yourselves;  for 
his  life  is  in  him. 

11  When  he  therefore  was  come 
up  again,  and  had  broken  bread, 
and  eaten,  and  talked  a  long 
while,  even  till  break  of  day,  so 
he  departed. 

12  And  they  brought  the  young 
man  alive,  and  were  not  a  little 
comforted.

Paul,  on  his  way  to  Rome,  was 
shipwrecked  ou  the  Island  of 
Melita,  or  Malta. 

Ac.  28—1  And  when  they  were 
escaped,  then  they  knew  that  the 
island  was  called  Melita. 

2  And  the  barbarous  people 
shewed  us  no  little  kindness:  for 
they  kindled  a  lire,  and  received 
us  every  one,  because  of  the  pres- 
I'Ht  rain,  and  because  of  the  cold. 

3  And  when  Paul  had  gathered 
a  bundle  of  sticks,  and  laid  them 
c  m  the  tire,  there  came  a  viper  out, 
and  fastened  on  his  hand. 

■i  And  when  the  barbarians  saw 
the  venomous  beast  hang  on  his 
hand,  thev  said.No  doubtthisman 
IS  a  murderer,  whom,  though  he 
liath  escaped  the  sea,  yet  veng- 
eance suffereth  not  to  live. 

5  And  he  shook  off  the  beast  in- 
to the  tire,  and  felt  no  harm. 

6  Howbeit  they  looked  when  he 
shoitld  have  swollen,  or  fallen 
down  dead  suddenly:  but  after 
they  had  looked  a  great  while, 
md  saw  no  harm  come  to  him, 
I  hey  changed  their  minds,  and 
said  that  he  was  a  god. 

7  In  the  same  quarters  were 
possessions  of  the  chief  man  of 
the  island,  whose  name  was  Pu- 
blius;  who  received  us,  and  lodg- 
ed us  three  days  courteously. 

8  And  the  father  of  Publius  lay 
sick  of  a  fever  and  of  a  bloody 
tlux:  to  whom  Paul  entered  in, 
and  prayed,  and  laid  his  hands  on 
him,  and  healed  him. 

9  So  when  this  was  done,  others 
also,  which  had  diseases  in  the 
island,  came, and  were  healed: 

10  ^  ho  also  honoured  us  with 
many  honours;  and  when  we  de- 
parted, they  laded  us  with  such 
things  as  were  necessary. 

11  And  after  three  months  we 
departed  in  a  ship  of  Alexandria, 
which  had  wintered  in  the  isle, 
whose  sign  wasCastor  and  Pollux. 

12  And  landing  at  Syracuse,  we 
tarried  there  three  days. 

16  And  when  we  came  to  Rome, 
the  centurion  delivered  the  pris- 
oners to  the  captain  of  the  guard : 
but  Paul  was  suffered  to  dwell 
by  himself  with  a  soldier  that 
kept  him. 

30  And  Paul  dwelt  two  whole 
years  in  his  own  hired  house,  and 
received  all  that  came  in  unto 
him. 


Gamaliel's  advice  in  regards 
the  apostles,  also  the  unfortunate 
Galileans. 

Ac.  5—34  Then  stood  there  up  one 
in  the  council,  a  Pharisee,  named 
Gamaliel,  a  doctor  of  the  law,  had 
in  reputation  among  all  the  peo- 
ple, and  commanded  to  put  the 
apostles  forth  a  little  space : 

35#Vnd  said  unto  them.  Ye  men 
of  Israel,  take  heed  to  yourselves 
what  ye  mtend  to  do  as  touching 
these  men. 

36  For  before  these  days  ro.se  up 
Theudas,  boasting  himself  to  be 
somebody;  to  whom  a  number  of 
men,  about  four  hundred,  joined 
themselves:  who  was  slain:  and 
all,  as  many  as  obeyed  him,  were 
scattered,  and  brought  to  nought. 

37  After  this  man  rose  up  Judas 
of  Galilee  in  the  days  of  the  tax- 
ing, and  drew  away  much  people 
after  him :  he  also  perished :  and 
all,  even  as  many  as  obeyed  him, 
were  dispersed. 

(Ac.  21—38  Art  not  thou  that 
Egyptian, which  before  these  days 
madest  an  uproar,  and  ledde.stout 
into  the  wilderness  four  thousand 
men  that  were  murderers?) 

38  And  now  I  say  unto  you.  Re- 
frain from  these  men,  and  let 
them  alone:  for  if  this  counsel  or 
this  work  be  of  men,  it  will  come 
to  nought : 

39  But  if  it  be  of  God,  ye  cannot 
overthrow  it;  lest  haply  ye  be 
found  even  to  fight  against  God. 

40  And  to  him  they  agreed:  and 
when  they  had  called  the  apos- 
tles, and  beaten  them,  they  com- 
manded that  they  should  not 
speak  in  the  name  of  Jesus,  and 
let  them  go. 

Lu.  13—1  There  were  present 
some  that  told  him  of  the  Gali- 
leans, whose  blood  Pilate  had 
mingled  with  their  sacrifices. 

2  And  Jesus  answering  said  un- 
to them.  Suppose  ye  that  these 
Galileans  were  sinners  above  all 
the  Galileans,  because  they  suf- 
fered such  things? 

3  I  tell  you.  Nay:  but,  except  ye 
repent, ye  shall  all  likewise  perish. 

4  Or  those  eighteen,  upon  whom 
the  tower  in  Siloam  fell,  and  slew 
them,  think  ye  that  they  were 
sinners  above  all  men  that  dwelt 
in  Jerusalem? 

5  I  tell  you,  Nay:  but,  except  ye 
repent,  ye  shall  all  likewise  perish.

other  six  churches  see  Re.  1. 11,  p.

unto  the  churches. 

7  And  to  the  angel  of  the  church 
in  Philadelphia  write;  These 
things  saith  he  that  is  holy,  he 
that  is  true,  he  that  hath  the  key 
of  David,  he  that  openeth,  and  no

thy  feet,  and  to  know  that  I  have 
loved  thee. 

10  Because  thou  hast  kept  the 
word  of  my  patience,  I  also  will 
keep  thee  from  the  hour  of  temp- 
tation, which  shall  come  upon  all 
the  world,  to  try  them  that  dwell 
upon  the  earth. 

11  Behold,!  com3  quickly:  hold 
that  fast  which  thou  hast,  that  no 
man  take  thy  crown. 

12  Him  that  overcometh  will  I 
make  a  pillar  in  the  temple  of  my 
God.  and  he  shall  go  no  more  out: 
and  I  will  write  upon  him  the 
name  of  my  God,  and  the  name  of 
the  city  of  my  God,  which  is  new 
Jerusalem,  which  cometh  down 
out  of  heaven  from  my  God:  and 
I  will  write  upon  him  my  new 
name. 

Opening  of  the  seven  seals  in 
order,  and  what  followed  there- 
upon, containing  a  prophecy  to 
the  end  of  the  world. 

Re.  6—1  And  1  saw  when  the 
Lamb  opened  one  of  the  seals,  and 
I  heard,  as  it  were  the  noise  of 
thvmder,  one  of  the  fom-  beasts 
saying.  Come  and  see. 

2  And  I  saw,  and  behold  a  white 
horse :  and  he  that  sat  on  him  had 
a  bow;  and  a  crown  was  given 
imto  him :  and  he  went  forth  con- 
quering, and  to  conquer. 


3  And  when  he  had  opened  the 
second  seal,  1  heard  the  second 
beast  say.  Come  and  see. 

4  And  there  went  out  another 
horse  that  was  red :  and  powerwas 
given  to  him  that  sat  tliereon  to 
take  peace  from  the  earth,  and 
that  they  should  kill  one  another : 
and  there  was  given  unto  him  a 
great  sword. 

5  And  when  he  had  opened  the 
third  seal.  I  heard  the  third  beast 
say,  Come  and  see.  And  I  beheld, 
and  lo  a  black  horse ;  and  he  that 
sat  on  him  had  a  pan.-  of  balances 
in  his  hand. 

6  And  I  heard  a  voice  in  the 
midst  of  the  four  beasts  say,  A 
measure  of  wheat  for  a  penny,  and 
three  measures  of  barley  for  a 
penny ;  and  see  thou  hm-t  not  the 
oil  and  the  wine. 

7  And  when  he  had  opened  the 
fourth  seal,  I  heard  the  voice  of 
the  fourth  beast  say.  Come  and 

8  And  1  looked,  and  behold  a 
pale  horse:  and  his  name  that  sat 
on  him  was  Death,  and  Hell  fol- 
lowed with  him.  And  power  was 
given  unto  them  over  tlie  fourth 
part  of  the  earth,  to  kill  with 
sword,  and  with  hunger,  and  with 
death,  and  with  the  oeasts  of  the 

9  And  when  he  had  opened  the 
fifth  seal.  I  saw  under  the  altar 
the  souls  of  them  that  were  slain 
for  the  word  of  God.  and  for  the 
testimony  which  they  held: 

10  And  they  cried  with  a  loud 
voice,  saying,  How  long,  O  Lord, 
holy  and  true,  dost  thou  not  judge 
and  avenge  our  blood  on  them 
that  dwellon  the  earth  ? 

11  And  white  robes  were  given 
unto  every  one  of  them ;  and  it 
was  said  unto  them,  that  they 
should  rest  yet  for  a  little  season, 
imtil  their  fellow  servants  also 
and  their  brethren,  that  should  be 
killed  as  they  were,  should  be  ful- 
filled. ,     ,     , 

12  And  I  beheld  when  he  had 
opened  the  sixth  seal.  and.  lo. 
there  was  a  great  earthquake; 
and  the  sun  became  black  as  sack- 
cloth of  hair,  and  the  moon  be- 
came as  blood; 

13  And  the  stars  of  heaven  fell 
unto  the  earth,  even  as  a  fig  tree 
casteth  her  untimely  figs,  when 
she  is  shaken  of  a  mighty  wind. 

14  And  the  heaven  departed  as  a 


531 


scroll  when  it  is  rolled  together; 
aud  eveiT  mountain  and  island 
were  moved  out  of  their  places. 

15  And  the  kings  of  the  earth, 
and  the  great  men,  and  the  rich 
men,  and  the  chief  captains,  and 
the  mighty  men,  and  every  hond 
man,  and  every  free  man,  hid 
themselves  in  the  dens  and  in  the 
rocks  of  the  mountains ; 

16  And  said  to  the  mountains 
and  rocks.  Fall  on-ns,  and  hide  us 
from  the  face  of  him  that  sitteth 
on  the  throne,  and  from  the  wrath 
of  the  Lamb: 

17  For  the  great  day  of  his  wrath 
is  come ;  aud  who  shall  he  able  to 
stand? 

OPENING  OF  THE  SEVENTH 
SEAL. 


The  seven  angels  with  trumpets, 
tlie  golden  censer  and  golden 
altar. 

Re.  8—1  And  when  he  had 
opened  the  seventh  seal,  there 
was  silence  in  heaven  about  the 
space  of  half  an  hour. 

2  And  1  saw  the  seven  angels 
which  stood  before  God;  and  to 
them  were  given  seven  trumpets. 

3  And  another  angel  came  and 
stood  at  the  altar,  having  a  golden 
censer;  and  there  was  given  unto 
him  much  incense,  that  he  should 
offer  it  with  the  prayers  of  all 
saints  upon  the  golden  altar  which 
was  before  the  throne. 

4  And  the  smoke  of  the  incense, 
which  came  with  the  prayers  of 
the  saints,  ascended  up  before 
God  out  of  the  angel's  hand. 

5  And  the  angel  took  the  censer, 
and  tilled  it  with  fire  of  the  altar, 
and  cast  it  into  the  earth:  and 
there  were  voices,  and  thunder- 
iugs,  and  lightnings,  and  an  earth- 
quake. 

6  And  the  seven  angels  which 
had  the  seven  trumpets  prepared 
themselves  to  sound. 

7  The  first  angel  sounded,  and 
there  followed  hail  and  fire  min- 
gled with  blood,  and  they  were 
cast  upon  the  earth:  and  the  third 
part  of  trees  was  burnt  up,  aud  all 
green  grass  was  burnt  up. 

8  And  the  second  angel  sounded, 
and  as  it  were  a  great  mountain 
burning  with  lire  was  cast  into  the 
sea:  and  the  third  part  of  the  sea 
became  blood ; 

9  Aud  the  third  part  of  the  creat- 


ures which  were  in  the  sea,  and 
had  life,  died ;  and  the  third  part 
of  the  ships  were  destroyed. 

10  And  the  third  angel  .sounded, 
and  there  fell  a  great  star  from 
heaven,  burning  as  it  were  a  lamp, 
and  it  fell  upon  the  third  part  of 
the  rivers,  and  upon  the  fountains 
of  waters ; 

11  And  the  name  of  the  star  is 
called  Wormwood:  and  the  third 
part  of  the  waters  became  worm- 
wood ;  and  many  men  died  of  the 
waters,  because  they  were  made 
bitter. 

12  And  the  fourth  angel  soimd- 
ed,  and  the  third  part  of  the  sun 
was  smitten,  and  tne  third  part  of 
the  moon,  and  the  third  part  of 
the  stars;  so  as  the  third  part  of 
them  was  darkened,  and  the  day 
shone  not  for  a  third  part  of  it, 
and  the  night  likewise. 

13  And  I  beheld,  and  heard  an 
angel  flying  through  the  midst  of 
heaven,  saying  with  a  loud  voice, 
Woe,  woe,  woe,  to  the  inhabiters 
of  the  earth  by  reason  of  the  other 
voices  of  the  trumpet  of  the  three 
angels,  which  are  yet  to  sound. 
See  fifth  and  sixth  angel.  Re.  9.  1, 
13,  p.  118, 119.     

The  two  witnesses,  the  seventh 
angel,  "and  the  temple  of  God 
was  opened  in  heaven." 

Re.  11—3  And  I  will  give  power 
unto  my  two  witnesses,  and  they 
shall  prophesy  a  thousand  two 
hundred  and  threescore  days, 
clothed  in  sackcloth. 

4  These  are  the  two  olive  trees, 
and  the  two  candlesticks  standing 
before  the  God  of  the  earth. 

5  Andif  any  man  will  hurt  them, 
lireproceedethoutof  their  mouth, 
and  devoureth  their  enemies:  and 
if  any  man  will  hurt  them,  he 
must  in  this  manner  be  killed. 

6  These  have  power  to  shut  heav- 
en, that  it  rain  not  in  the  days  of 
their  prophecy:  and  have  power 
over  waters  to  turn  them  to  blood, 
and  to  smite  the  earth  with  all 
plagues,  as  often  as  they  will. 

7  And  when  they  shall  have  fin- 
ished their  testimony,  the  beast 
that  ascendeth  out  of  the  bottom- 
less pit  shall  make  war  against 
them,  and  shall  kill  them. 

8  And  their  dead  bodies  shall  lie 
in  the  street  of  the  great  city, 
which  spiritually  is  called  Sodom 
and  Egypt,  where  also  our  Lord 
was  crucified. 


532 


9  And  they  of  the  people  and 
kindreds  and  tongues  and  na- 
tions sliall  see  their  dead  bodies 
three  days  and  a  half,  and  shall 
not  suffer  their  dead  bodies  to  be 
put  m  graves. 

10  And  they  that  dwell  upon  the 
earth  shall  rejoice  over  them,  and 
make  merry,  and  shall  send  gifts 
one  to  another:  because  these 
two  prophets  tormented  them 
that  dwelt  on  the  earth. 

11  And  after  three  days  and  a 
half  the  Spirit  of  life  from  God 
entered  into  them,  and  they  stood 
upon  their  feet;  and  gi-eat  fear 
fell  upon  them  which  saw  them. 

12  And  they  heard  a  great  voice 
from  heaven  saying  unto  them, 
Come  up  hither.  And  thev  as- 
cended up  to  heaven  in  a  cloud : 
and  their  enemies  beheld  them. 

13  And  the  same  hourwas  there 
a  great  earthquake,  and  the  tenth 
part  of  the  city  fell,  and  in  the 
earthquake  were  slaiu  of  men 
seven  thousand :  and  the  remnant 
were  affrighted,  and  gave  glory 
to  the  God  of  heaven. 

14  The  second  woe  is  past ;  and, 
behold,  the  thkd  woe  cometh 
quickly. 

15  And  the  seventh  angel 
sounded;  and  there  were  gi-eat 
voices  in  heaven,  saying.  The 
kingdoms  of  this  world  are  be- 
come the  kingdoms  of  our  Lord, 
and  of  his  Christ ;  and  he  shall 
reign  for  ever  and  ever. 

16  And  the  four  and  twenty  eld- 
ers, which  sat  before  God  on  their 
seats,  fell  upon  their  faces,  and 
worshipped  God, 

17  Saying,  We  give  thee  thanks, 
OLord  God  Almighty,  which  art, 
and  wast,  and  art  to  come;  be- 
cause thon  hast  taken  to  thee  thy 
great  power,  and  hast  reigned. 

IS  And  the  nations  were  augry, 
and  thy  wrath  is  come,  and  the 
time  of  the  dead,thatthey  should 
be  judged,and  that  thou  shouldest 
give  reward  tmto  thy  servants  the 
prophets,  and  to  the  saints,  and 
them  that  fear  thy  name,  small 
and  great ;  and  shoitldest  destroy 
them  which  destroy  the  earth. 

19  And  the  temple  of  God  was 
opened  in  heaven,  and  there  was 
seen  in  his  temple  the  ark  of  his 
testament ;  and  there  were  light- 
nings, and  voices,  and  thunder- 
iugs.and  an  earthquake.and  great 
hail. 


The  seven  angels  with  the  seven 
last  plagues.  The  seven  golden 
vials  full  of  the  wrath  of  God. 
The  angels  pour  out  their  vials 
full  of  wrath. 

Re.  15—1  And  I  saw  another  sign 
in  heaven,  great  and  marvellous, 
seven  angels  having  theseven  last 
plagues;  for  in  them  is  tilled  up 
the  wrath  of  God. 

2  And  I  saw  as  it  were  a  sea  of 
glass  mingled  with  fire :  and  them 
that  had  gotten  the  victory  over 
the  beast,  and  over  his  image, and 
over  his  mark,  and  over  the  num- 
ber of  his  name,  stand  on  the  sea 
of  glass,  having  the  harps  of  God, 

3  And  they  smg  the  song  of 
Moses  the  servant  of  God,  and 
the  song  of  the  Lamb,  saying. 
Great  and  marvellous  are  thy 
works.  Lord  God  Almighty;  just 
and  true  are  thy  ways,  thou  King 
of  saints. 

4  Who  shall  not  fear  thee.  O 
Lord,  and  glorify  thy  name?  for 
thou  only  art  holy:  for  all  na- 
tions shall  come  and  worship  be- 
fore thee ;  for  thy  judgments  are 
made  manifest. 

5  And  after  that  1  looked,  and, 
behold,  the  temple  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  testimony  in  heaven 
was  opened : 

6  And  the  seven  angels  came  out 
of  the  temple,  having  the  seven 
plagues.clothed  in  piu-e  and  white 
linen,  and  having  their  breasts 
girded  with  golden  girdles. 

T  And  one  of  the  four  beasts 
gave  unto  the  seven  angels  seven 
golden  vials  full  of  the  wrath  of 
God.who  liveth  for  ever  and  ever. 

8  And  the  temple  was  tilled  with 
smoke  from  the  glory  of  God,  and 
from  his  power;  and  no  man  was 
able  to  enter  into  the  temple,  till 
the  seven  plagues  of  the  seven 
angels  were  fulfilled. 

Re.  16—1  And  I  heard  a  great 
voice  out  of  the  temple  saying  to 
the  seven  angels.  Go  yoiu-  ways, 
and  pour  out  the  vials  of  the  wrath 
of  God  upon  the  earth. 

2  And  the  first  went,  and  poured 
out  his  vial  upon  the  earth;  ajid 
there  fell  a  noisome  and  grievous 
sore  upon  the  men  which  had  the 
mark  of  the  beast,  and  upon  them 
which  worshipped  his  image. 

3  And  the  second  angel  poured 
out  his  vial  upon  the  sea ;  and  it 
became  as  the  blood  of  a  dead 


^S3 


man:  and  every  living  soul  died 
in  the  sea. 

4  And  the  third  angel  poured 
out  his  vial  upon  the  rivers  and 
fountains  of  waters;  and  they 
became  blood. 

5  And  I  heard  the  angel  of  the 
waters  say,  Thou  art  righteous,  O 
Loi'd,  which  art,  and  wast,  and 
shall  be,  because  thou  hast  judg- 
ed thus. 

6  For  they  have  shed  the  blood 
of  saints  and  prophets,  and  thou 
hast  given  them  blood  to  drink ; 
for  they  are  worthy. 

7  And  I  heard  another  out  of  the 
altar  say,  Even  so.  Lord  God  Al- 
mighty, true  and  righteous  are 
thy  judgments. 

8  And  the  fourth  angel  poured 
out  his  vial  upon  the  sun;  and 
power  was  given  unto  him  to 
scorch  men  with  tire. 

9  And  men  were  scorched  with 
great  heat,  and  blasphemed  the 
name  of  God,  which  hath  power 
over  these  plagues:  and  they  re- 
pented not  to  give  him  glorv. 

10  And  the  fifth  angel  poured 
out  his  vial  upon  the  seat  of  the 
bea.st ;  and  his  kingdom  was  full 
of  darkness:  and  they  gnawed 
their  tongues  for  pain, 

11  And  blasphemed  God  because 
of  their  pains  and  their  sores,  and 
repented  not  of  then-  deeds. 

12  And  the  sixth  angel  poiired 
out  his  vial  upon  the  great  river 
Euphrates;  and  the  water  was 
dried  up,  that  the  way  of  the 
kings  of  the  east  might  be  pre- 
pared. 

13  And  I  saw  three  unclean 
spu-its  like  frogs  come  out  of  the 
mouth  of  the  dragon,  and  the 
beast,  and  out  of  the  mouth  of 
the  false  prophet. 

li  For  they  are  the  spirits  of 
devils,  workmg  mnacles,  which 
go  forth  mito  the  kings  of  the 
earth  and  of  the  whole  world,  to 
gather  them  to  the  battle  of  that 
great  day  of  God  Almighty. 

15  Behold,  1  come  as  a  thief. 
Blessed  is  he  that  watcheth.  and 
keepethhisgarments.lesthe  walk 
naked,  and  they  see  his  shame. 

16  And  he  gathered  them  to- 
gether into  a  place  called  in  the 
Hebrew  tongue  Armageddon. 

17  And  the  seventh  angel  pour- 
ed out  his  vial  into  the  air:  and 
there  came  a  great  voice  out  of 
the  temple  of  heaven,  from  the 
throne,  saying,  It  is  done. 


18  And  there  were  voices,  and 
thunders,  and  lightnings:  and 
there  was  a  great  earthquake, 
.such  as  was  not  since  men  were 
upon  the  earth,  so  mighty  an 
earthquake,  and  so  great. 

19  And  the  great  city  was  di- 
vided into  three  parts,  and  the 
cities  of  the  nations  fell:  and 
great  Babylon  came  in  remem- 
brance before  God,  to  give  unto 
her  the  cup  of  the  wine  of  the 
fierceness  of  his  wrath. 

■20  And  every  island  fled  away, 
and  the  mountainswere  not  found. 

21  And  there  fell  upon  men  a 
great  hail  out  of  heaven,  everv 
stone  about  the  weightof  a  talent : 
and  men  blasphemed  God  be- 
cause of  the  plague  of  the  hail. 

THE  INIYSTERYOF  BABYLON. 


"And  I  saw  a  woman  sit  upon  a 
scarlet  coloured  beast. ■" 

Re.  17—1  And  there  came  one  of 
the  seven  angels  which  had  the 
seven  vials,  and  talked  with  me, 
saying  unto  me.  Come  hither:  I 
will  shew  unto  thee  the  judgment 
of  the  great  whore  that  sitteth 
upon  many  waters ; 

2  With  whom  the  kings  of  the 
earth  have  committed  fornica- 
tion, and  the  inhabitants  of  the 
earth  have  been  made  drunk  with 
the  wine  of  her  fornication. 

3  So  he  caiTied  me  away  in  the 
spirit  into  the  wilderness:  and 
I  saw  a  woman  sit  upon  a  scarlet 
coloured  beast,  full  of  names  of 
blasphemy,  having  seven  heads 
and  ten  honis. 

4  And  the  woman  was  arrayed 
in  purple  and  scarlet  colour,  and 
decked  with  gold  and  precious 
.stones  and  pearls,  having  a  gold- 
en cup  in  her  hand  full  of  abom- 
inations and  filthinessof  her  for- 
nication : 

5  And  upon  her  forehead  was  a 
name  written,  MYSTERY,  BAB- 
YLON THE  GREAT,  THE 
MOTHER  OF  HARLOTS  AND 
ABOMINATIONS  OF  THE 
EARTH. 

6  And  I  saw  the  woman  drunk- 
en with  the  blood  of  the  saints, 
and  with  the  blood  of  the  martyrs 
of  Jesus:  and  when  1  saw  her,  I 
wondered  with  great  admiration. 

7  And  the  angel  said  unto  me. 
Wherefore  didst  thou  marvel?    I 


534 


■will  tell  thee  the  mystery  of  the 
■woman,  and  of  the  beast  that  car- 
rieth  her,  which  hath  the  seven 
heads  and  ten  horns. 

8  The  beast  that  thou  sa-west 
was.  and  is  not ;  and  shall  ascend 
out  of  the  bottomless  pit,  and  go 
into  perdition:  and  they  that 
dwell  on  the  earth  shall  wonder, 
whose  names  were  not  ■written  ui 
the  book  of  life  from  the  founda- 
tion of  the  world,  when  they  be- 
hold the  beast  that  was.  and  is 
not,  and  yet  is. 

9  And  here  is  the  miud  which 
hath  wisdom.  The  seven  heads 
are  seven  mountains,  on  which  the 
woman  sitteth. 

10  And  there  are  seven  kings: 
five  are  fallen,  and  one  is,  and  tne 
other  is  not  vet  come ;  and  when 
he  cometh,  he  must  continue  a 
short  space. 

11  And  the  beast  that  was,  and  is 
not ,  even  he  is  the  eighth,  and  is  of 
the  seven,  and  goeth  into  perdi- 
tion. 

12  And  the  ten  horns  which  thoti 
sawest  are  ten  kings,  wliich  have 
received  no  kingdom  as  yet ;  but 
receive  power  as  kings  one  hour 
with  the  beast. 

13  These  have  one  mind,  and 
shall  give  their powerandstrength 
unto  the  beast. 

14  These  shall  make  war  with 
the  Lamb,  and  the  Lamb  shall 
overcome  them:  for  he  is  Lord  of 
lords,  and  King  of  kings:  and  they 
that  are  with  him  are  called,  and 
chosen,  and  faithful. 

15  And  he  saith  vmto  me.  The 
waters  which  thou  sawest,  where 
the  whore  sitteth.  are  peoples, 
and  multitudes,  and  nations. 

16  And  the  ten  horns  which  thou 
sawest  upon  the  beast,  these  shall 
hate  the  whore,  and  shall  make 
her  desolate  and  naked,  and  shall 
eat  her  flesh,  and  burn  her  with 
fire.  .       ,    . 

17  For  God  hath  put  m  their 
hearts  to  fulfil  his  will,  and  to 
agree,  and  give  their  kingdom 
unto  the  beast,  imtil  the  words  of 
God  shall  be  fulfilled. 

18  And  the  woman  which  thou 
sawest  is  that  great  city,  which 
reigneth  over  the  kings  of  the 
earth. 

The  Fall  of  Babylon  as  revealed 
to  Saint  John.  The  kings  of  the 
earth  and  the  merchants  and 
mariners  lament  over  her. 


Re.  IS— 1  And  after  these  things 
I  saw  another  angel  come  down 
from  heaven,  having  great  ix)wer : 
and  the  earth  was  lignteued  with 
his  glory. 

■2  And  he  cried  mightily  with  a 
strong  voice,  sityiug,  Babylon  the 
great  is  fallen,  is  fallen,  and  is  be- 
come the  habitation  of  devils,  and 
the  hold  of  every  foitl  spirit,  and  a 
cage  of  everv  imclean  and  hateful 
bh-d. 

3  For  all  nations  have  drunk  of 
the  wine  of  the  wrath  of  her  for- 
nication, and  the  kings  of  the 
earth  have  committed  fornication 
with  her,  and  the  merchants  of 
the  earth  are  waxed  rich  through 
the  abundance  of  her  delicacies. 
See  Ho.  12,  v.  -217. 

4  And  I  heard  another  voice 
from  heaven,  saying.  Come  out  of 
her,  my  people,  that  ye  be  not 
partakersof  uersuis,  and  that  ye 
receive  not  of  her  plagues. 

5  For  hersins  have  reached  imto 
heaven,  and  God  hath  remember- 
ed her  iniquities. 

6  Reward  her  even  as  she  re- 
warded you,  and  double  imto  her 
double  according  to  her  works:  ui 
the  cup  which  she  hath  filled,  till 
to  her  double. 

7  How  much  she  hath  glorified 
herself,  and  lived  deliciously,  s<;> 
much  torment  and  sorrow  give 
her:  for  she  saith  in  her  heart,  I 
sit  a  queen,  luid  am  no  widow,  and 
shall  see  no  sorrow. 

8  Therefore  shall  her  plagues 
come  in  one  day,  deatii,  and 
mourning,  and  famine ;  and  she 
shall  be  utterly  burned  with  fire : 
for  strong  is  the  Lord  God  who 
judgeth  her. 

9  And  the  kings  of  the  earth, 
who  have  committed  fornication 
and  lived  deliciouslv  with  her. 
shall  bewail  her,  and  lament  for 
her,  when  they  shall  see  the 
smoke  of  her  biu-nin^, 

10  Standing  afar  off  for  the  fear 
of  her  torment,  sayuig,  Alas,  alas, 
that  great  city  Baliylon,  that 
mighty  city  I  for  in  one  hour  is 
thv  judgment  come. 

11  And  the  merchants  of  the 
earth  shall  weep  and  mourn  over 
her:  for  no  man  btiyeth  their 
merchandise  any  more : 

1-2  The  merchandise  of  gold,  and 
silver,  and  precious  stones,  and  of 
pearls,  and  tine  linen,  and  purple, 
and  silk,  and  scarlet,  and  all  tnv- 
ine  wood,  and  all  manner  vessel.s 


535 


of  ivorv,  and  all  manner  vessels  of 
most  precious  wood,  and  of  brass, 
and  iron,  and  marble, 

13  And  cinnamon,  and  odours, 
and  ointments,  and  frankincense, 
and  wine,  and  oil.  and  fine  llour, 
and  wheat,  and  beasts,  and  sheep, 
and  horses,  and  chariots,  and 
slaves,  and  souls  of  men. 

14  And  the  fruits  that  thy  soul 
lusted  after  are  departed  from 
thee,  and  all  things  which  were 
daintv  and  goodly  are  departed 
from  thee,  and  thou  shalt  tmd 
them  no  more  at  all.  . 

15  The  merchantsof  these  things, 
which  were  made  rich  by  her, 
shall  stand  afar  off  for  the  fear  of 
her  torment,weeping  and  wailing. 

16  And  saving,  Alas,  alas,  that 
great  citv,  that  was  clothed  in  tine 
linen,  and  pm-ple,and  scarlet,  and 
decked  with  gold,  and  precious 
stones,  and  pearls! 

17  For  in  one  hour  so  great 
riches  is  come  to  nought.  And 
e  verv  shipmaster,  and  all  the  com- 
pany in  ships,  and  sailors,  and  as 
many  as  trade  by  sea,  stood  afar 

18  And  cried  when  they  saw  the 
smoke  of  her  burning,  saying. 
What  city  is  like  unto  this  great 
city ! 

19  And  they  cast  dust  on  their 
heads,  and  cried,  weeping  and 
wailing,  saying.  Alas,  alas,  that 
great  citv,  wherein  were  made 
rich  all  that  had  ships  in  the  sea 
by  reason  of  her  costliness!  form 
one  hour  is  she  made  desolate. 

20  Rejoice  over  her.thou  heaven, 
and  ye  holy  apostles  and  proph- 
ets; for  God  hath  avenged  you  on 
her. 

21  And  a  mighty  angel  took  up  a 
stone  like  a  great  millstone,  and 
cast  it  into  the  sea,  saying.  Thus 
with  violence  shall  that  great  citv 
Babvlon  be  thrown  down,  and 
shall  be  found  no  more  at  all. 

22  And  the  voice  of  harpers, 
and  musicians,  and  of  pipers,  and 
trumpeters,  shall  be  heard  no 
more  at  all  in  thee ;  and  no  crafts- 
man, of  whatsoever  craft  he  be, 
shall  be  found  any  more  in  thee : 
and  the  sound  of  a  millstone  shall 
be  heard  no  more  at  all  in  thee : 

23  Andthe  light  of  a  candle  shall 
shine  no  more  at  all  in  thee:  and 
the  voice  of  the  bridegroom  and  of 
the  bride  shall  be  heard  no  more 
at  all  in  thee:  for  thy  merchants 
were  the  great  men  of  the  earth ; 


for  by  thy  sorceries  were  all  na- 
tions deceived. 

24  And  in  her  was  found  the 
blood  of  prophets,  and  of  saints. 
and  of  all  that  were  slain  upon  the 
earth. 

The  armies  in  heaven.  Jesus 
Christ  the  leader.  The  feast  of 
the  fowls,  or  the  supper  of  the 
Great  God.  See  also  Eze.  38  and 
39,  p.  435,  436. 

Re.  19— 11  And  I  saw  heaven  op- 
ened, and  behold  a  white  horse; 
and  he  that  sat  upon  him  was 
called  Faithful  and  True,  and  m 
righteousness  he  doth  judge  and 
make  war. 

12  His  eves  were  as  a  flame  of 
lire,  and  oh  his  head  were  many 
crowns:  and  he  had  a  name  writ- 
ten, that  no  man  knew,  but  he 
himself.  ,    ,     , 

13  And  he  was  clothed  with  a 
vesture  dipped  in  blood :  and  his 
name  is  called  The  Word  of  God. 

14  And  the  armies  which  were  m 
heaven  followed  him  upon  white 
horses,  clothed  in  fiLae  linen,  white 
and  clean.  ,  , 

15  And  out  of  his  mouth  goeth 
a  sharp  sword,  that  with  it  he 
should  smite  the  nations:  and  he 
shall  rule  them  with  a  rod  of  iron : 
and  he  treadeth  the  winepress  of 
the  fierceness  and  wrath  of  Al- 
mighty God. 

16  And  he  hath  on  his  vesture 
and  on  his  thigh  a  name  written, 
KING  OF  KINGS.  AND  LORD 
OF  LORDS. 

17  And  I  saw  an  angel  standing 
in  the  sun;  and  he  cried  with  a 
loud  voice,  saying  to  all  the  fowls 
that  flv  in  the  midst  of  heaven. 
Come  and  gather  yourselves  to- 
gether unto  the  supper  of  the 
great  God ;  ,      ^     ,      * 

18  That  ve  may  eat  the  flesh  of 
kings,  and  the  flesh  of  captains\ 
and  the  flesh  of  mighty  men,  and 
the  flesh  of  horses,  and  of  theni 
that  sit  on  them,  and  the  flesh  of 
all  men,  both  free  and  bond,  both 
small  and  great. 

19  And  I  saw  the  beast,  and  the 
kings  of  the  earth,  and  their 
armies.gathered  togetherto  make 
war  against  him  that  sat  on  the 
horse,  and  against  his  army. 

20  And  the  beast  was  taken,  and 
with  him  the  false  prophet  that 
wrougb*^  »T>4-!4cles  before  iiim. with 


536 


which  he  deceived  tliem  that  had 
received  the  mark  of  tlie  beast, 
and  them  that  worshipped  his 
image.  These  both  were  cast 
aiive  into  a  lake  oi  fire  bmning 
witli  brimstone. 

21  And  tlie  remnant  were  slain 
with  the  sword  of  him  that  sat 
upon  the  horse,  which  sword  pro- 
ceeded out  of  his  mouth:  and  all 
the  fowls  were  filled  with  then- 
tiesh.  ■  ... 

Re.  22—12  And,  behold,  1  come 
quickly;  and  my  reward  is  with 
me,  to  give  every  man  according 
as  his  work  shall  be. 

13  I  am  Alpha  and  Omega,  the 
beginning  and  the  end,  the  first 
and  the  last.    p.  37. 

16  I  Jesus  have  sent  mine  angel 
to  testify  unto  you  these  things  in 
the  churches.  I  am  the  root  and 
the  offspring  of  David,  and  the 
bright  and  morning  star. 

17  And  the  Spirit  and  the  bride 
say,  Come.  And  let  him  that 
heareth  say.  Come.  And  let  him 
that  is  athirst  come.  And  who- 
socA'er  will,  let  him  take  the 
water  of  life  freely. 

18  For  I  testify  unto  every  man 
that  heareth  the  words  of  the 
prophecy  of  this  book,  If  any  man 
shall  add  unto  these  things,  God 
i5hall  add  unto  him  the  plagues 
that  are  written  in  this  bonk : 

19  And  if  any  man  shall  take 
away  from  the  words  of  the  book 
of  this  prophecy,  God  .shall  take 
away  his  part  out  of  the  book  of 
life,  and  out  of  the  holy  city,  and 
from  the  things  which  are  written 
in  this  book. 

20  He    which   testifieth  these 


things  saith^urely  I  come  quick- 
ly: Amen.  Even  so,  come,  Lord 
Jesus. 

21  The  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ  be  with  you  all.    Amen. 

Ec.  12—8  Vanity  of  vanities, 
saith  the  Preacher;  all  is  vanity. 

9  And  moreover,  because  the 
Preacher  was  wise,  he  still  taught 
the  people  knowledge;  yea,  he 
gave  good  heed,  and  sought  out, 
and  set  in  order  many  proverbs. 

10  The  Preacher  sought  to  find 
out  acceptable  words,  and  that 
which  was  written  was  upright, 
even  words  of  truth. 

11  The  words  of  the  wise  are  as 
goad.s,  and  as  nails  fastened  by 
the  masters  of  assemblies,  which 
are  given  from  one  shepherd. 

12  And  further,  bythe.se,  my  son, 
be  admonished :  or  making  many 
books  there  is  no  end;  and  much 
study  is  a  wearmess  of  the  flesh. 

1.3  Let  us  hear  the  conclusion 
of  the  whole  matter:  Fear  God, 
and  keep  his  commandments:  for 
this  is  the  whole  duty  of  man. 

14  For  God  shall  bring  every 
work  into  judgment,  with  everv 
secret  thing,  whether  it  be  good, 
or  whether  it  be  evil. 

2  Co.  13—11  Finally,  brethren, 
farewell.  Be  perfect,  be  of  good 
comfort,  be  of  one  mind,  live  in 
peace;  and  the  God  of  love  and 
peace  shall  be  with  you. 

12  Greet  one  another  with  a 
holy  kiss. 

13  All  the  saints  salute  you. 

14  The  grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  and  the  love  of  God,  and 
the  communion  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  be  with  you  all.    Amen.

Battles 403-436 

Independent  of  the  above 
list  of  killed,  there  were 
untold  thousands  slain  in 
battles  that  no  tigures 
were  given,  and  thou- 
sands slain  in  other  ways. 
Accordmg  to  the  Bible 
everv  man,  woman,  or 
child  that  has  been  killed, 
from  the  creation  of  the 
world  to  the  present  time, 
was  either  killed  by  the 
Lord,  by  the  Lord's  com- 
mand, or  by  his  knowl- 
edge   and    consent ;     for 


W8 


the  Bible  teaches  us  that 
the  Lord  knows  every- 
thing, sees  everything, 
guides  and  directs  every- 
thing. Even  the  mind  of 
man  and  his  actions  are 
controlled  by  the  Lord, 
and  therefore  man  has  no 
power  over  himself  what- 
ever. So,  if  this  is  true, 
then  every  man,  woman, 
and  child  that  has  been 
killed  in  battle,  mur- 
dered, or  their  life  crush- 
ed out  in  any  way,  it 
has  all  been  done  by  the 
will  of  the  Lord.  See  1

BELIEVERS  SAVED. 


Mar.  16—16  He  that  believeth 
and  is  baptized  shall  be  saved; 
but  he  that  believeth  not  shall  be 
damned,    p.  522. 

Jno.  3—16  %  For  God  so  loved  the 
world,  that  he  gave  his  only  be- 

f rotten  Son,  that  whosoever  be- 
ieveth  in  him  should  not  perish, 
but  have  everlasting  life. 

36  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son 
hath  everlasting  life:  and  he  that 
believeth  not  the  Son  shall  not  see 
life;  but  the  wrath  of  God  abid- 
eth  on  him. 

Jno.  5—24  Verily,  I  say  unto  you. 
He  that  heareth  my  word, and  be- 
lieveth on  him  that  sent  me,  hath 
everlasting  life,  and  shall  not 
come  into  condemnation :  but  is 
passed  from  death  unto  life. 

Jno.  6—47  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  He  that  believeth  on  me 
hath  everlasting  life. 

Jno.  10—27  My  sheep  hear  my 
voice,  and  I  know  them,  and  they 
follow  me: 

28  And  I  give  unto  them  eternal 
life. 

Jno.  11—26  And  whosoever  liveth 
and  believeth  in  me  shall  never 
die.  See  also  Believers,  p.  28; 
Saved,  p.  256. 


I  Jno.  5—1  Whosoever  believeth 
that  Jesus  is  the  Christ  is  born  of 
God. 

10  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son 
of  God  hath  the  witness  in  him- 
self: he  that  belie vetli  not  God 
hath  made  him  a  liar;  because  he 
believeth  not  the  record  that  God 
gave  of  his  Son. 

II  And  this  is  the  record,  that 
God  hath  given  to  us  eternal  life, 
and  this  life  is  in  his  Son. 

12  He  that  hath  the  Son  hath 
life ;  and  he  that  hath  not  the  Son 
of  God  hath  not  life. 

13  These  tilings  have  I  written 
unto  you  that  believe  on  the  name 
of  the  Son  of  God;  that  ye  may 
know  that  ye  have  eternal  life, 
and  that  ye  may  believe  on  the 
name  of  the  Son  of  God. 

Col.  1—12  Giving  thanks  unto 
the  Father,  which  nath  made  us 
meet  to  be  partakers  of  the  inheri- 
tance of  the  saints  in  light: 

13  Who  hath  delivered  us  from 
the  power  of  darkness,  and  hath 
translated  us  into  the  kingdom 
of  his  dear  Son: 

14  In  whom  we  have  redemption 
through  his  blood,  even  the  for- 
giveness of  sins.
